Matthew & Lindsay – Tennessee

Hello & Thank You,  


First and foremost, we are so grateful for your consideration. While we cannot imagine all that you are going through, we support you. While we may never fully know the sacrifice you are making, we are grateful. We have longed to build our family for many years, and it is truly humbling to have you get to know us. 


We always knew that adoption would be a part of our family, and it has proven to be the biggest blessing in our lives. After we were married, we discovered that we had unknown fertility issues, and that was our sign from the Lord to choose to grow our family through adoption. We adopted our daughter Caroline at birth almost three years ago, and she has brought so much love and joy into our home and family. Now, we have hopes to bring home another sweet blessing, and we know that Caroline will be the best big sister! 


Our home is full of laughter and fun, and we truly love to spend time with each other. We strive to keep the Lord at the center of it all, and we have a lot of love to share. Our families have been so supportive, and they also cannot wait to add another baby.


We do not take this decision lightly and consider raising a child the greatest privilege. We admire your courage and see your strength. If we are chosen to parent your child, we ask for grace, and we thank you for the bravery you display. As much as your child may become a part of us, they will always remain a part of you. We want them to know that. Whatever decision you make, may you know that you are loved and that you and your baby's lives are precious. We've prayed that your heart, mind, body, and baby would be safe and loved and that you would be covered in peace during it all.


With love and grateful hearts, 


Matthew & Lindsay

Meet Matthew

Meet Dan

Dan is the most amazing person on the planet. He is everything that I ever wanted in a husband, and our son, Garrett, is so lucky to have him as a father. He is kind, patient, and hard-working. He loves to spend his free time playing with Garrett and teaching him new things. I am 

so proud of the parent he is; Dan was meant to be a father. 

Meet Matthew

Matthew is an incredible man! He is easygoing, kind, patient, and so friendly to everyone he meets. He gives his best to whatever he does and is organized and a hard worker. He goes out of his way to include others and would do anything for his friends and family. I love his heart for others and how he loves and serves me daily without complaint. He is gracious and does not speak an ill word about anyone. He seeks after Christ and strives to follow Him in all he does.

Matthew is hilarious, and I love to laugh with him. Also, he is an amazing piano player and singer, and I knew I would marry him from the first time he played for me! He loves food, and he can quote every single episode of Friends.

Meet Lindsay

Meet Lindsay

There isn't enough space for me to tell you how much I love my wife. Aside from being beautiful, Lindsay is a loving and caring person. I'm in awe of how smart she is and how well she uses her abilities to encourage and strengthen the children around her. There's a reason why she's such a captivating teacher and a wonderful mother.


Lindsay is so creative that it blows me away! Our whole house is decorated beautifully. I love how neat she is as well. We both enjoy cleaning and organizing our home.


Lindsay comes from a loving, godly family. Her love and passion for children stem from her family, for sure! With children, the little things matter to Her. She is the best, most thoughtful mom to Caroline, and she loves our nieces and nephews with all of her heart. She's always thinking of fun things to do and looks up exciting local events each month in our town. She thinks of things Caroline needs without her even asking, and I'm blown away at how they connect. With all of it, she knows how to make things fun!

Matthew & Lindsay - Getting to Know Us

Our Story

We met on eHarmony in 2014 and went on our first date a week later! We met for sushi and took a walk on the beach. Since we lived an hour apart, we dated long-distance for the first six months. After that, Matthew took a new job and moved to my town to be closer. Ten months later, he proposed!


My friends set up a girls' night to get our nails done and have dinner at Olive Garden while Matthew supposedly had to work late. I wasn't too skeptical because it was a rainy Monday evening. However, upon arriving home, I opened the front door to a dark living room filled with candles and pictures of the two of us. There was also a rose pathway leading to Matthew. I was completely surprised! Matthew talked for a bit, then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! Of course, I said, "Yes." We planned our wedding for later that fall, just five months later.


Though we both grew up in Florida, we had not ever seen ourselves getting married there because we wanted a beautiful wedding that wasn't too hot. We chose to have a destination wedding in one of our favorite places--Nashville, Tennessee. It was a gorgeous day surrounded by our family and friends, and though it ended up being a cold November day, it was one of the best days of our lives together. We had a hot chocolate and cider bar, a delicious dinner from our favorite restaurant, dancing with a live band, a s'mores bar, and a photo booth. It was so much fun!

    We love our home so much because it is cozy, welcoming, clean, and organized. From the moment we saw it, we knew it was where we wanted to raise a family. It was renovated when we purchased it in 2017, and it was an answer to our prayers. We are in a quiet, older neighborhood with original trees and a golf course. It has 4 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths. Matthew has remodeled each room by painting, replacing the trim, and renovating the ceilings.

    Our home is in a great location, just minutes from our church, school, friends, and favorite restaurants. Our community is more diverse than most of our city and boasts one of the best school districts in the nation. While we do not have a pool, we use the local Y and rec center splash pad. Our city has many parks with playgrounds and hiking trails. We love to go to our adorable downtown for shopping, eating, and walking through local farmer's markets and coffee shops.

    Matthew's parents and oldest brother, Aaron, live in Florida and travel to visit us a few times a year to enjoy the cooler weather. His dad is an elementary music teacher, and both of his parents have backgrounds in music. Matthew's older brother, James, and his wife are doctors in North Carolina, and they have a one-year-old son, Vir. We usually spend a week all together in the summer for a family reunion of sort. This year, we went to Orlando and celebrated Matthew's parents' 50th anniversary!

    • Lindsay's Family

    Lindsay's family keeps on growing! Her parents are such fun and involved grandparents. Her mom, who lives nearby, loves to come over for dinner, meet at the park, and bring treats for Caroline. Her dad visits from Florida every few months, and we enjoy visiting him as well. Lindsay is blessed with four brothers and a sister, all of whom have grown their families through marriage and children. Despite living all over, we love to get together as often as possible. Cousins Waylon, Wakely, and Stevie often visit from Alabama, while we see cousins Wyatt and Emmy Kate in Missouri several times a year. Cousin Bennett, the youngest, lives in Florida, and other aunts and uncles are in Montana and Mississippi. It's always a joy to be together, and we cherish the moments the cousins spend with each other. This year, we even had our first cousin camp!

    • We love celebrating and having fun together, whether on birthdays, dressing up for Halloween, Christmas, or anything special. We always decorate the house for each major holiday to feel festive. For Christmas, we love to pick out a real tree each year after our anniversary dinner, and then Matthew decorates the tree while I decorate the house. We have hosted our family here, and sometimes we travel to family for holidays. Birthdays are also a lot of fun for us and involve decorating the house and having a party with friends and family. We also host an annual Pumpkin Palooza party where we carve pumpkins, have fall treats, and sit around the bonfire.

    Travel Fun 

    Another thing we like to do is travel and explore new places, near and far. We have flown all around, but we also enjoy a good road trip together when we can stop and see things along the way.

    • Love Makes a Family 

    One thing that's very important to us is staying connected with our children's birth families. We met Caroline's first mama at her birth when we flew to Arizona, and we text back and forth pictures and messages almost weekly. We work very hard to be able to go back and visit her when we can. We have seen her family twice since she was born, and it is always such a joy to spend time with her siblings and sweet family. We want our children to grow up knowing who they are and just how immensely loved they are, not just by us but also by their first family. We are all a family.

    Kerstin - Wisconsin

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 20, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , My name is Kerstin, and I'm so grateful to you for considering me and my son Malakai as a possible match for you and your child. A single person might not have been your first thought for your child, but I have just as much support and love to give as a couple would have - or even more! My life is rich with family, friends, and opportunities. I have a successful career that provides my family with the resources to explore the world and experience new things. I would love the opportunity to share these wonderful experiences with your child. Malakai (Kai for short) was adopted at birth and is three years old. We have an open relationship with his birth mom and often send her pictures and videos. I am open and committed to whatever type of communication you would like. I want you to know that your child will always know their adoption story and the love you have for them. I am happy to answer any questions you have so that you can make the best decision for you and your baby. As you'll see in this profile, I have a deep love and appreciation for all different cultures, and I love to learn about people and places all over the world. Travel has been a big part of my life, and I also appreciate and value diversity close to home. We live on a street with families of many different backgrounds, and the schools and businesses in our neighborhood also reflect that diversity. I love languages and have studied Spanish and Haitian Creole. The public elementary school closest to our home is a dual immersion bilingual school (Spanish and English). I would love for Malakai and any future child I might have to attend this school because I highly value bilingual language skills and the opportunity to build relationships with classmates and teachers of many different backgrounds. I am committed to honoring and valuing your child's cultural background and ensuring that it is an important part of their daily lives. I pray often for you and your journey. I thank God for you and your decision to consider adoption. I pray for God to give you peace and comfort. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and Malakai and see if we might be a good match for you and your child. With Love, Kerstin

    Hao & Amy – Texas

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 19, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , First off, let's introduce ourselves. Our names are Amy, Hao, and our not so little man James Paul. We want you to know how grateful we are to you for looking at our book. Our goal is for you to get to know who we are in an honest and real way. Adoption has a complex variety of feelings for all parties involved, especially for you. We can't begin to understand the emotional and overwhelming circumstances you have had to face in making these difficult decisions. We want you to know we support you and think that what you are doing is selfless and generous beyond comprehension. From an early age, I knew carrying a child to full term would be highly unlikely. So, when we met, having children was a part of our early conversations. We always wanted a family and knew adoption was going to be how we would become parents. This led us to adopt our beautiful and sweet son, James. We have so much more love to share with another child, and James is waiting with open arms and a welcoming smile. Our upbringing has significantly shaped who we are today, including our parenting style and how we plan for our future. Both of our parents are still married, and observing their relationship through both happy and challenging times has taught us the importance of commitment in maintaining a long-lasting marriage. Our family includes no shortage of caring aunts, fun uncles, and many young cousins to grow up with. One thing you can be certain of is DOTING GRANDPARENTS!! We are blessed that we can go to anyone in our family for guidance, advice, and support. You could not ask for a more dedicated crew of family members. We promise to you that we will honor you in the way you deserve. We will share with you the progress of your wonderful and cherished child's life. You'll be part of their life story from their earliest days to the questions that arise with growing curiosity. Your role will always be respected, valued, and cherished. We hope that our book gives you insight into who we are as people and as a family. Our very different strengths will lead to us raising well-rounded children. Together, we will teach them the importance of acceptance and kindness to those around them while still allowing them to be independent and able to stand up for themselves. Hao and I share the greatest hope of raising our children and providing them with safety and security, all with an embarrassing amount of love and affection. Thank you for considering us; we could not do it without you. Sincerely, Hao & Amy

    Adam & Jaime - Wisconsin

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 18, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , We are Adam and Jaime, and we wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. We can only imagine how incredibly difficult this decision is, and we admire your courage and strength during this challenging time. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We have been married for 11 years and together for 13 years. Adam and I knew early on in our relationship that we always wanted to be parents and start a family. Our journey to parenthood has been a challenge for us. Over the last ten years, we have had four failed IUI treatments, five failed IVF treatments, and two miscarriages. Through all our failed attempts to start a family, we continued to support each other and remain resilient in our desire to become parents. We believe that adoption is the path meant for us, and we are grateful for the opportunity to potentially welcome a child into our loving home. We are excited to begin the journey of parenthood with open hearts and open arms. Our home is filled with love, laughter, and a strong sense of family. We have many aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents who are eager to welcome a baby into our family. We promise to provide your child with every opportunity to thrive and grow, surrounded by unconditional love and support. We have been eagerly anticipating the opportunity to expand our family through adoption, and we are committed to providing a loving and supportive home for your child. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering us. Your strength and selflessness are truly inspiring. Thank you, Adam & Jaime

    Spencer & Amanda - Wisconsin

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 13, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , Just saying thank you isn't enough for us to express our gratitude for considering us to be adoptive parents. We cannot begin to understand how difficult this decision is and that it is not taken lightly. No matter your decision, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are Amanda and Spencer. We have been together over ten years and have been married for three. From the very beginning of our relationship, we talked about starting a family, but God had different plans for us. Unfortunately, Amanda has faced health challenges that have led to infertility, which won't allow us to have our own biological children. Adoption has touched both our lives in meaningful ways. Spencer's mother was adopted, and she is ecstatic that we are pursuing this path. In addition, Spencer has two adopted cousins, and I have one as well. Both of our families are loving and supportive of our decision, and we are all ready to share unconditional love with a child. Since we both have relatives who were adopted, we believe it is important for your child to understand their adoption story from the very beginning. We look forward to sharing with your child just how special they and their birth family are to us. The relationship between a child and their birth family is significant, and we strongly support an open adoption. There is no such thing as too many people to love and support a child. Raised in the Catholic faith, we plan to instill the same values in our future child. We cherish faith, family, community, friendships, and love, and we will teach the importance of hard work and the achievements it can bring. With both our families and friends nearby, your child will be surrounded by a loving network of support. Thank you for the time to read our story and consider us as potential adoptive parents. We wish you peace on this journey and the very best for you and your child. Sincerely, Spencer & Amanda

    Michael & Christi – Texas

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 10, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about us. While we cannot say we understand the emotions, decisions, and journey you are facing, we recognize and honor the enormous gift you are sharing with a family like ours. We are Christi and Michael. We have been together for 6 years and married for 4. When we first started dating, I shared with Michael that biological children might not be a possibility for me due to the reproductive issues I had experienced. When Michael stated without hesitation that he was open to adoption, I knew he was someone special. After trying the recommended fertility treatments to ensure we were never left wondering, “What if?” we started our adoption journey feeling relieved and confident this was the path meant for us. Part of what drew us to each other was how we viewed our families and our desires to have a family of our own. Both of our lives have been touched by adoption in various ways. Therefore, we knew we were ready to start our adoption journey. In 2023, we welcomed our daughter, Isabel (Izzy), into our lives through adoption. Izzy has brought so much joy, laughter, love, and fun to our lives ever since. We are so grateful to have been chosen as Izzy’s adoptive parents and are blessed to guide her on this journey of life. We believe it is important for your child to understand their adoption story from the beginning and look forward to letting them know how truly special they and their birth family are to us. We welcome an open adoption as we value the relationship between a child and their birth family. Children can never have too many people who love and support them. We have established a small group of friends who have young, adopted children and enjoy meeting them throughout the year. We believe it will be valuable for our children to have the opportunity to be around other adopted children throughout their lives. There are adoptees in that group, and we talk openly with them about their experience as adoptees to help us gain insight into their perspective. With a large family nearby, your child will be loved and surrounded by many family members, friends, and a faith community. In addition to providing your child with unconditional love, we hope to instill the qualities of honesty, integrity, faith, kindness, the value of family, and perseverance. Both of us come from hard working families where we each learned to be independent, responsible, and self-sufficient, knowing we always had our families supporting us. We appreciate your time and continue to pray for you and the decisions that lie ahead. You are a beautiful person, and you are giving an invaluable gift. We hope you feel the love and peace you deserve. Sincerely, Michael & Christi

    Aaron & Alex – California

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 9, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , There's no way for us to begin understanding your life, struggles, and victories. Hopefully, we can play a part in one another's stories- sharing and growing through all the ups and downs that this world has to offer. Know that if chosen, we will love your child unconditionally and fiercely protect and shelter them all the day of our lives. This whole process feels a little surreal, and finding the perfect words to say them is a challenge. Thank you, though, for even looking at this book and taking a peek into our lives. We want to reassure you that we have the utmost respect and admiration for you, regardless of the path you choose. We are confident that whomever you choose to raise your baby will be the perfect fit! Regardless of where each of our lives goes, we want you to know you are continuously in our hearts and minds. After struggling with infertility and going through several fertility treatments, we made the decision not to pursue IVF. We felt like God was pulling on our hearts to bring someone into our lives in a different way. After much prayer and conversation, we decided adoption was the clear path, and we're excited to grow our family this way. Following the completion of our home study and application with Adoption Angels, we were in disbelief one morning when Alexandra took a pregnancy test, and it was positive. However, during our daily evening walk that day, we both knew that we wholeheartedly wanted to continue to pursue adoption. Alexandra comes from a large family where many of her brothers and sisters are close in age, her brother Russ being a mere 18 months apart from her. Growing up so close in age, we were less siblings and more partners and crime- each other’s best confidants and adventure buddies as we traveled the world with the military. The loyalty, utter love, and connection we feel toward each other are hard to explain, and to this day, my siblings and my brother's wife are my best friends. We would be over the moon excited to raise children who would experience this bond and feel the same love and closeness. It’s becoming clearer to us every day that this is the path God has been leading us on all along. Know that no matter how a child comes into our family, we plan to love them exactly as we love our son, Adrian- with every fiber of our being! Thank you again so much for reading our story! Aaron & Alex

    Brandon & Melody – Texas

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 8, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , Our names are Brandon and Melody, and we are so glad to meet you! We can’t fully understand the weight of the decision you’re facing in making an adoption plan, but we deeply admire your courage and strength. What you are considering would bring immense joy to a family who has likely spent years longing for a child to love. Please know we are praying for you and your child, and that God will grant you peace in whatever decision you make. Through this letter and album, we’d like to share a bit about ourselves and why we’ve chosen adoption. We met and married in southern California and have been married for 12 years. Since moving to Texas, we’ve built a loving home and community here. We believe God called us to be parents, and while our path to parenthood has been unexpected, adoption has always been on our hearts. Melody was adopted at birth and understands the incredible blessings of adoption firsthand. After five years, many tests, and three failed IUI attempts, we began pursuing adoption. In December 2023, we were blessed to adopt our son, Aiden, and our lives have been forever changed. Now, we hope to adopt again to share our love with another child and allow Aiden to grow up with a sibling. If chosen to be your child’s adoptive parents, we promise to raise them in a loving Christian home, teaching Biblical principles and morals. We’ll provide opportunities for them to grow, learn, thrive, and develop a deep sense of love, respect, and responsibility, all while offering unconditional love and support. Additionally, Melody can uniquely answer any questions your child may have about their adoption as they grow. We are surrounded by a large, loving network of family, friends, and a supportive church community who will joyfully welcome your child into our lives. Melody’s experience as an adopted child makes her especially sensitive to the importance of understanding one’s roots. If chosen, we hope to develop an ongoing relationship with you and walk alongside you in this journey. For years, we prayed for a child to join our family, and God’s answer came when Aiden came into our lives. We are excited to see what He has planned next for our family’s growth. Thank you for taking the time to consider us as parents. Please know we are praying for you, your child, and your decision, whatever it may be. Sincerely,  Brandon & Melody

It begins by letting you know that we admire and have the deepest respect for your incredibly brave and selfless decision. You are giving a gift and opportunity to a family that they are unable to achieve on their own. We are Michelle, Josh, and Otto. We had always dreamed of starting a family, and after a 10-year struggle with infertility, our prayers were answered when we were matched with an amazing birth mom in 2022. Three exciting months later, Otto Joseph was born on April 1. Our lives were forever changed, and we haven’t stopped smiling. We want to assure you that if you choose us to be the adoptive parents of your precious baby, they will be cherished and loved beyond measure. Our Christian faith is an important aspect of our lives and depicts the people we strive to be... compassionate, caring, kind, and patient. We are committed to providing them with a stable and happy home filled with laughter, love, and endless adventure. There will be many scraped knees, arguments over eating broccoli, and sleepless nights waiting for them to arrive home at curfew. We can’t wait for every moment. We hope to get to know you and welcome an open relationship with you, as you are a huge part of who this child is, and we will honor your story with them. We love sharing milestones with Otto’s birth mother through pictures, text messages, and phone calls. We are excited to grow a bond with you and have a similar relationship. We are here for you every step of the way, and we would be honored to go on this journey with you. Thank you for considering us as potential parents for your baby. We send you all our love, prayers, and support during this time of decision-making. Sincerely, Josh & Michelle

    Hello & Thank You , Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share a glimpse into our lives. First and foremost, we want to express our deepest gratitude, as being considered in your adoption journey means more to us than you may know. The love you have for your child is undeniable. Though we cannot know the challenges you are facing in making this decision, your love, strength, and courage stand out the most. We truly admire you. We are Luke and Cassi and our four-legged fur baby, Sully. We’ve been together for 16 years and married for 3. After years of infertility, adoption feels like the right path for us. From a young age, we always knew adoption would be part of our journey, and now, after much anticipation, we’re filled with excitement and hope. We truly believe the younger versions of us would be proud of the direction life has taken, and we are eager to open our hearts and home to a child. Adoption is a lifelong bond, and we promise to cherish it. We are committed to creating a safe, loving, and nurturing home where your child can grow, explore, and thrive. We will inspire curiosity, embrace individuality, and encourage them to follow their dreams. We will also surround your child with the people who will love them through life’s challenges and triumphs. Our home will be filled with love, laughter, and family traditions, including cozy nights by the fire, bedtime stories, adventures in our camper, and Sundays by the pool. They would always be encouraged to be their true selves, follow their passions, respect themselves and others, and always know they are valued. We will teach them kindness, empathy, and the importance of family. Most importantly, we will always talk openly and lovingly about the love and sacrifice that led you to choose adoption. We want your child to know how deeply they are loved, both by us and by you. Thank you again for taking the time to get to know us. If we have the opportunity to meet in the future, we would be excited to learn more about you. We know this is not an easy decision, and we are grateful for your consideration. We are keeping you in our thoughts and sending you strength and peace during this time. Sincerely, Luke & Cassi
