Drew & Emily – Alabama

Hello & Thank You,  


We want to begin by saying thank you. Thank you for taking the time to read about our little family and for considering us as you make one of the most selfless and loving decisions imaginable. We cannot fully understand what you are walking through, but we deeply respect your strength, courage, and love for your child. 


We want you to know that if you choose us, your child will be loved, protected, and supported in every part of their life. They will grow up in a home filled with laughter, fun, and rooted in faith. We believe God is guiding both your journey and ours, and that He will place the right family for you and the right child for us. 


Our journey to adoption has been shaped by both hope and healing. In 2021, we received an infertility diagnosis, and while that was difficult, it opened our hearts to adoption. We chose not to pursue IVF or fertility treatments, believing our path forward was meant to look different than we first imagined. Shortly after that, we were blessed with becoming pregnant with our daughter, Ryleigh. Becoming her parents has been one of the greatest joys of our lives. Even after having Ryleigh, adoption has remained on our hearts as a calling we cannot ignore. After prayerful consideration, we feel now is the right time to grow our family. Ryleigh has been asking for over a year to be a big sister, and we know she will love and cherish a sibling with her whole heart. 


Texas holds a very special place in our hearts. When Drew joined the military, Texas was our first duty station. It is filled with both joyful memories and difficult ones, as it is where we received our infertility diagnosis but also where God blessed us with the miracle of Ryleigh. It would mean a great deal to us if your child’s story, which began in Texas, became part of ours. We are open to any level of communication that feels right to you and want this relationship to be guided by what you feel most comfortable with. 


Family and friends have always been at the heart of who we are, and we are excited to continue growing our family through adoption. We look forward to sharing our love, traditions, adventures, and support with another child as we continue the story God has written for our family. 


Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers as you make this decision. We respect you deeply and trust that your child will be surrounded by love and cared for in the way they deserve, no matter what you choose. 


Thank you again for considering us and for taking the time to learn about our family. We are honored to be part of your journey in any way. 


With love,


Drew & Emily

Meet Drew

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 Drew

Drew is passionate, hardworking, generous, and deeply family-oriented. He leads our family with faith, integrity, and a desire to honor God. His steady character, kind heart, and unwavering commitment to those he loves are just a few of the qualities I admire most.


As a father, Drew is truly exceptional. He is fun-loving, patient, and always encouraging Ryleigh to explore, learn, and try new things. No matter what he is doing, he invites her to join him, even when it means the task takes a little longer, because he treasures their time together. Creating family traditions is important to him, and some of our favorites include Friday pizza-and-movie nights, Saturday ice cream outings, and the special breakfasts he makes on weekend mornings.


Seeing Drew in "dad mode" is one of my greatest joys. From learning ballet terminology so he can practice with Ryleigh to knowing all the Disney princesses because he wants to share in what she loves, he is always invested in her world. There is very little Drew would not do for Ryleigh—except maybe paint his nails! Their daddy-daughter dates, which almost always include ice cream, are some of my favorite stories to hear.



Drew is also an incredible partner. He constantly encourages and supports me, helping me become a better mother, friend, and person. Our different strengths complement one another and make our family stronger. I am grateful for the love, guidance, and support he brings to our home, and I know any child welcomed into our family will be deeply loved, encouraged, and cherished by him.

Meet Emily

Meet Emily

Emily is the most loving and caring person I have ever met. She has a remarkable way of putting the needs of others before her own, and she does so with genuine joy and selflessness. Whether she is caring for our family, supporting friends, or helping those around her, she leads with kindness, compassion, and an open heart.


I truly believe Emily was made to be a mom. I have seen this throughout her life, from her years as a teacher to now as a stay-at-home mom. She has a natural gift for connecting with children and making them feel seen, valued, and loved. We often joke that she must have "nice" written on her forehead because children seem to gravitate toward her wherever we go. Even when we first started dating, I would often look across a wedding reception and find Emily on the dance floor, surrounded by kids, laughing and having fun right alongside them.


Since choosing to stay home with Ryleigh, Emily has also cared for other children, and it has been a privilege to see the impact she has on their lives. Parents consistently trust and respect her because of the loving, patient, joyful, and gentle way she cares for their children. She creates an environment where kids feel safe, encouraged, and free to be themselves.


The love Emily pours into our family is extraordinary. She is a devoted wife and a wonderful mother. I know that any child welcomed into our family will be deeply loved, nurtured, and cherished by her, just as Ryleigh and I are.

Our Story

Our story began in 2016 at a mutual friend’s birthday party. After just one date, we both knew there was something special between us. We quickly discovered a shared love for agriculture, serving others, and new adventures. What began as a simple connection grew into a deep friendship and a love that has only grown stronger over the years.


In January 2018, Drew planned a proposal that perfectly reflected the importance of family and friends in our lives. He proposed at a special spot on the campus of The Ohio State University, then surprised me with a celebration surrounded by our family and closest friends.


On July 13, 2019, we were married in a church in Northwest Ohio, with our reception held on a beautiful local farm that reflected our agricultural roots. It was a joyful day filled with love, laughter, and gratitude. One of our favorite memories was taking photos with the cows, a fun reminder of the passions that first brought us together.



Since then, our story has continued to grow. Drew answered the call to serve in the Army, and I was blessed to stay home with Ryleigh after teaching. Through every transition, challenge, and celebration, we have leaned on our faith, supported one another, and trusted God's plan for our family.

Meet Ryleigh

Ryleigh is a bold, loving, funny, helpful, and curious little girl who brings joy wherever she goes. Friendly and outgoing, she makes friends easily and truly has never met a stranger. Her favorite things are Elsa, anything purple, sausage, and playing pretend. She loves listening to stories and could happily sit and be read to for hours. Some of her favorite outings include trips to the library, coffee shops for a special treat, and playing at the park with her friends. She is always ready for an adventure and especially enjoys swim lessons and gymnastics.


Ryleigh loves every baby she meets and is incredibly excited about becoming a big sister. We know she will be an amazing one. She already talks about showing her sibling the ropes, reading all of her favorite books, sharing her toys, and rocking a baby in her little rocking chair. As they grow up together, we pray they will build a close bond filled with love, friendship, and encouragement, always caring for and supporting one another through every stage of life.

Our Home

We are blessed to live in a welcoming community on base in Alabama. Our home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing plenty of space for our family to grow. We also have a fenced backyard where children and our dog, Zoey, can safely play and explore. Right next to our home is a large open field that is perfect for running, playing, and enjoying time outdoors.



One of the things we love most about our neighborhood is the abundance of children and families nearby. There are friends of all ages just a short walk away, creating endless opportunities for play and friendship. Our street has two playgrounds, with several more within walking distance. Living on base also gives us access to three swimming pools, which have become one of our favorite ways to cool off during the Alabama summers.

Our Community

Beyond our neighborhood, we enjoy visiting local parks, splash pads, nature trails, and nearby springs. One of our favorite things about living here is being close to the beach, making it easy to enjoy day trips and create special family memories together.



We are grateful for the wonderful community that surrounds us and look forward to sharing all of these adventures and everyday moments with a child welcomed into our family through adoption.

Drew's Family

I come from a smaller family than Emily, but we are very close. Although my parents are divorced, they have built a wonderful, respectful relationship that allows our family to come together to support and love one another. My mom remarried and lovingly adopted my younger sister, Brooklyn, bringing even more joy to our family. My brother, Jordan, recently married his wife, Alex, and they both adore Ryleigh and are excited to welcome another niece or nephew into the family.


We spend a lot of meaningful time with my dad, who often travels to visit us and shares my love for golf. I also grew up very close to my extended family, and those relationships have remained an important part of my life. My grandpa, in particular, has been a tremendous inspiration through his strong faith, love for people, and, of course, his passion for golf.



I am grateful for the love and support of my family, and I know they will warmly welcome and cherish a child who joins our family through adoption.

Emily's Family

Family has always been at the center of my life, and I am grateful to come from a large, loving family that remains close despite the miles between us. I have two younger brothers, Michael and Derek, who are married to my wonderful sisters-in-law, Lexie and Sydney. Together, they have blessed our family with my sweet one-year-old niece, Rory.

Ryleigh loves spending time with her aunts, uncles, and cousin. They are always reading with her, taking her to see the animals on our family farm, playing silly games, and making special memories together. She especially loves playing with Rory and can't wait until they are old enough to run around together.


My parents have been married for 43 years and are the best Grammy and Papa. We cherish gathering for family meals whenever we are together, and they love coming to visit us. We always enjoy introducing them to our friends and taking them to some of our favorite local restaurants.



I am also blessed with a large extended family. My mom is one of seven siblings, and my dad is one of three, giving me nearly 50 cousins, many of whom now have families of their own. Although we don't all live close by, we are thankful for FaceTime and other ways to stay connected. The love, support, and close relationships within our family are a tremendous blessing, and we are excited to share that same love with a child welcomed into our family through adoption.

Meet Zoey

Zoey is our first "child," a fun-loving, easygoing, and goofy dog who brings plenty of smiles and laughter to our home. At 8 years old, she has a sweet, gentle personality and loves being part of whatever the family is doing.


One of Zoey’s favorite activities is going on family walks, and she is always happy to stroll right alongside us, even when the stroller comes too. She also enjoys chewing on her favorite bones and playing fetch, although her bursts of energy are usually followed by a well-deserved nap on the couch.



Zoey loves meeting new people and is always excited to make a new friend. Her gentle, affectionate nature makes her a wonderful companion and an important part of our family. She has been by our side through so many of life’s adventures, and we know she will be a loving and loyal friend to any child who joins our family.

We love exploring the areas where we live, but we also enjoy taking trips and vacations together. Hilton Head is one of our favorite destinations, especially for golf and relaxing at the beach with Drew’s dad.


We also traveled to Texas when Ryleigh was little to visit friends, enjoy barbecue, tour the Blue Bell factory, and take in the beauty of the Hill Country. While living in Kentucky, we often traveled to Ohio to visit family, and we enjoyed going to county fairs to watch Aunt BB (Drew’s little sister) show her pigs and see all the animals.



Before joining the military, we made special memories traveling to places like Grand Rapids, Michigan; Charleston, South Carolina; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; Cumberland Falls, Kentucky; and Mexico for our honeymoon. Looking ahead, we hope to continue traveling and creating new memories, with dreams of visiting Europe, the West Coast, and Maine in the fall.

Our Friends 

One of our favorite things to do as a family is explore our community alongside our friends. We truly believe it takes a village to raise children, and we have been blessed with a wonderful group of friends who make life richer and more fun. Whether we're strawberry picking, visiting zoos and petting zoos, hiking, spending a day at the beach, feeding ducks at a local park, exploring a charming downtown area, or attending seasonal festivals, we love sharing those experiences with the people we care about.



Many of our sweetest memories have been made on playdates at parks, trying new restaurants together, attending church and Bible study gatherings, and taking family retreats with close friends. No matter where life takes us, we enjoy finding fun local activities and creating meaningful memories with our village of friends who support, encourage, and celebrate life's moments alongside us.

Our Traditions

Holidays are a special part of our lives, filled with meaningful traditions, family time, and celebrations throughout the year.


Fall is one of our favorite seasons. We love cooler weather, pumpkin patches, trick-or-treating with little friends, and chili nights with our community.

Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays. We enjoy smoked turkey tacos and watching the Ohio State game on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving Day, we celebrate with friends while Drew’s mom, stepdad, and sister often join us.


At Easter, we celebrate at church and enjoy Easter egg hunts with friends. It is a joyful time centered on faith, family, and fun traditions.


Birthdays are always celebrated in special ways. We enjoy spending time with friends, and for Ryleigh, we love hosting a birthday party, decorating the house, and making her day feel extra special.


Christmas is filled with traditions we treasure. We love visiting Christmas lights, including zoo lights, drive-through displays, neighborhood light tours, and the Opryland Hotel in Tennessee.


At home, we decorate gingerbread houses, bake cookies for our neighbors, and enjoy cozy family time. On Christmas Eve, we attend church before picking up Chinese food for dinner. Christmas morning begins with reading the Christmas story, celebrating Jesus' birth with a cookie, and opening presents together.

Jose & Daniella - Texas

By Brittany Carvalho • February 13, 2026
Hello & Thank You , First, we want to thank you for taking a look into our lives and reviewing our book. We can’t even begin to understand what you are going through, but we pray that God continues to give you strength and courage through all the emotions you are feeling. We know that you are a selfless woman just by knowing that you are choosing to create an adoption plan for your child. Our names are Jose and Daniella. We met each other in 2014, and we got married in 2016. A year later, we began trying to have a child of our own. After three years of seeing a fertility doctor and seven years of trying different treatments, we were unsuccessful. Jose and I want to expand our family, and we know adoption is the answer to our prayers. We both have siblings we grew up with, and we hope that we are able to add another sibling to expand our love and family in the near future. We want you to know that your child is already loved by so many, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and many more family members. We promise to raise your child with unconditional love, provide many life skills, compassion, respect, morals, and provide any education your child dreams of. We also believe in God and would love to raise your child knowing who God is. If you choose us to be part of your adoption plan, we can assure you that we will share your child’s adoption story with them from the very beginning. We will celebrate the love you have for them and honor the decision you made. Thank you once again for this opportunity to get to know us. This process has been one we prayed and cried about, as having a family of our own has been a difficult journey for us both. As you glance through our book, we pray that you see the love we share with each other, our families, our faith, and the joy we have for the future journey we have prayed about. Whichever decision you make, we want you to know that you will forever be in our prayers. Sincerely, Jose & Daniella

Josh & Caitlin – Louisiana

By Brittany Carvalho • February 5, 2026
Hello & Thank You , It is nice to "meet" you. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter about us. Our names are Caitlin and Josh. We cannot begin to imagine what you may be feeling right now, but we know that you love your baby deeply and want what is best for them. We admire and respect you for your decision to create an adoption plan and recognize the courage and strength it takes to get here. We have been married for 10 years and have wanted to start a family for a long time. After going through IVF and experiencing losses, we felt God calling us to adoption. Two years ago, we were blessed to become parents through the adoption of our daughter. She is truly the answer to every prayer we have ever prayed. We would love for her to grow up with a sibling and feel called to adopt again. We have a wonderful open adoption with our daughter’s birth mom and hope to have that same kind of relationship with you if that is something you would like. We are Christian and very family-oriented with large, loving families close by. It is important to us that our daughter and any future children grow up surrounded by love and support from not just us but from our extended family as well. We are blessed to see our families often and to travel together for holidays and special occasions. It brings us such joy to watch our daughter play with her cousins and experience those special family moments. Our greatest hope is to raise our children to know and love the Lord above all else. We want them to be kind, strong, and self-sufficient with a good work ethic and confidence in who they are. We will always encourage them to discover their passions and will support them however we can so they can reach any goal they may have for the future. We are eager to share more with you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you through this journey. We pray for peace and health through the time ahead. We are happy to answer any questions that you may have about us. We appreciate your time and consideration and would love the opportunity to share more with you. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you on this journey. We are praying for your peace and health in the days ahead, and we would be honored to answer any questions you may have about us. Sincerely, Josh & Caitlin

Nick & Chelsea – Texas

By Brittany Carvalho • February 3, 2026
Hello & Thank You , We are Chelsea and Nick, and we are truly honored and grateful that you are considering us as potential adoptive parents for your child. We want to acknowledge the immense courage and strength it takes to choose adoption, and we deeply appreciate the thought and care you are giving to this decision. Our journey to adoption has been deeply personal. While we have faced struggles with infertility, our desire to adopt began long before we were married. Growing up, Chelsea was surrounded by adoption. Two of her siblings, her aunt, and her uncle were all adopted, so building a family this way has always felt natural to her. Our faith in God plays a central role in our lives, guiding us to love, serve, and trust His plan. Adoption reflects the love and grace we believe He has shown us, and it is a path we hold very dear. After facing challenges and experiencing a loss, we were so blessed to welcome our daughter, Sofia, into our lives through adoption. She is everything to us, our little miracle and a daily reminder that love and hope can turn any hardship into something beautiful. For us, adoption represents not only the joy and love of expanding our family but also the incredible strength and love of parents like you who make this choice. We are surrounded by family and friends who have embraced our journey and who share in our joy and commitment to providing a nurturing and supportive home. As parents, we hope to offer a child a home where they will feel cherished and encouraged to grow, celebrate their uniqueness, and pursue their dreams in every way possible. Should we be chosen, we want your child to always know how special, wanted, and deeply loved they are—not only by our family and us but also by you. We want you to know that you will always hold a meaningful and cherished place in their life and in our family. Please know that your decision, whatever it may be, is honored and supported. Thank you for considering us as potential adoptive parents and for the hope you bring to families like ours. Please know that you are in our prayers. With heartfelt appreciation, Nick & Chelsea

Cody & Brittany – Texas

By Brittany Carvalho • January 31, 2026
Hello & Thank You , Thank you so much for considering us as potential adoptive parents for your child. My name is Brittany, and my husband is Cody. We have been together for over ten years and live here in Texas with our two young boys and three dogs. We feel incredibly blessed that you are taking the time to read our story as we pursue adoption to grow our family. Adoption has always been close to our hearts. Even when we were young and best friends, we often talked about building a big family, long before we understood the medical challenges we would later face. Cody was adopted by his father at the age of two and grew up in a loving home with his parents and three siblings. I was raised in Colorado with my parents and sister, whom I love dearly. We are both blessed with large, supportive families who are excited to walk alongside us on this journey. We truly cannot imagine the emotions you are feeling as you create an adoption plan. Your strength and selflessness are deeply admirable. We want you to feel comfortable, supported, and loved throughout this process. If you choose us, your child will always know their adoption story, the courage behind your decision, and where it all began. Your child will be surrounded by love in our home, with two fierce big brothers who will treasure them, dedicated parents, and a whole community of family and friends. No matter what decision you make, please know you will remain in our thoughts and prayers. Cody and I have faced unimaginable challenges together, and through them we have built a marriage rooted in faith, strength, passion, and unconditional love. Our children are always our top priority. Cody’s dedication has allowed me to stay home and focus fully on raising our children, which has been an incredible blessing. He is hardworking, driven, and devoted to our family, and I am passionate about motherhood and caring for our children each day. Our sons are truly our miracles. While I was able to carry both pregnancies, each came with life-threatening complications. After welcoming our second child, we knew that adoption was the path God was leading us toward. Over the past two years, we have prayerfully and thoughtfully considered this decision, and we believe adoption is the next step in making our family whole. Becoming parents has been the greatest joy of our lives, and we cannot wait to share that love with another child. Love, Cody & Brittany

Joe & Dani – Wisconsin

By Brittany Carvalho • January 29, 2026
Hello & Thank You , We are Dani, Joe, Emerson, and Benjamin. Nice to meet you! We are so grateful to you for taking the time to get to know us a little better. We realize you may be feeling many different emotions at this time, and we want you to know that we will be supportive of you and your child. We will care about you, too. Our hope in creating this book is that you'll feel the love, laughter, and joy in our daily lives and our adventures, and be able to imagine what a life with us could be like for your child. We have two children, Benjamin and Emerson. After complications from Dani's pregnancy with Emerson that led to a hysterectomy, Dani is no longer able to carry a child. In 2023, we adopted our son, Benjamin, and have an open relationship with his birth family. We are so grateful to his birth family for choosing us and trusting us to raise their child. We are excited to grow our family once again through adoption and are thankful to you for taking the time to get to know us. If you choose us, your child will grow up alongside two sweet and playful big brothers who are curious, energetic, and full of love. They will also have a gentle golden retriever nearby for snuggles and games of fetch. Our home is filled with laughter and connection, and we are intentional about creating a space where our children feel secure, encouraged, and deeply loved. We acknowledge that you have a very important role in your child’s life, and we would like to have an open adoption so that your child will know their story. It is important to us that we honor your wishes regarding the level of openness you would like in your child’s life. We will keep the promises we make together and always put your child’s needs at the center of our decisions. We both value kindness, curiosity, humor, and a love of learning, and we strive to model those values every day. We want our children to grow up feeling unconditionally loved, seen, heard, and supported. Even when life feels challenging, we face it together and always put our kids first. We are so excited to grow our family through adoption and would be honored to give your child that same love and support. Thank you for taking the time to read our story. We would truly love to get to know you. With Love, Joe & Dani

Douglas & Pamela - Texas

Hello & Thank You , Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about us and consider us as you explore your options. We know this isn't an easy decision. While we cannot know what you are experiencing, we truly respect the care and thought that goes into creating an adoption plan. We are Douglas and Pamela. We’ve been together for thirteen years and married for nine. Throughout our relationship, we’ve talked about building our family through adoption, and Pamela has known since she was a teen that adoption would likely be the safest way to start a family. While we did spend time hoping to conceive, we later learned that pregnancy would come with significant medical risks, including a very high chance of miscarriage and complications that could affect both her and the baby. After many visits with doctors and thoughtful conversations with each other, we chose adoption as the right path for us. We’re excited to open our hearts, our home, and share everyday moments together as a family! If chosen, your child will be raised in a loving, stable environment where they are deeply cared for and supported. They will grow up knowing their story began with love and care. We will always speak of you with respect and gratitude. Thank you again for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. Whatever you decide, we wish you peace, support, and kindness as you move forward. Sincerely, Douglas & Pamela

Jesus & Abbey - Texas

By Brittany Carvalho • January 26, 2026
Hello & Thank You , From the very beginning, we want you to know you are seen and valued. We can’t imagine the strength it takes to walk this journey, and we truly admire your courage. As it says in Isaiah 41:10, “Do not fear for I am with you. I will strengthen you and help you.” We pray you feel that promise wrapped around you. That you are not alone, that you are supported and that God’s strength is carrying you through each step. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. It feels hard to put into words how much love and gratitude we already feel as we write this. Our names are Abbey and Jesus, and we live in Texas with our two dogs, Drax and Willow. Little did we know that a simple haircut would be the start of our lifelong adventure together. We have been together for eight years and married for almost 5 years. From that day forward, we built a life full of love, laughter, and faith. Every step has brought us closer, and now our hearts are ready to welcome a child with the same care and devotion we’ve poured into each other. We later found out that we could not have biological children due to infertility issues. While that news was difficult, it only strengthens what we already knew in our hearts that we wanted to be parents and share all the love we have to give. Adoption felt like the path God was leading us toward, and it has been calling to us ever since. We are so excited to open our hearts and home to your child. We promise they will always feel safe, loved, cared for, and supported. We believe it is important for your child to understand their adoption story and to grow up knowing how deeply loved by everyone involved. The relationship between a child and their birth family is significant, and we strongly support an open adoption. However comfortable you are, we would truly welcome you to be a part of their life. Thank you for opening your heart to read our story. No matter what you decide, we wish you peace, comfort, and endless love for you and your child. With love and gratitude, Jesus & Abbey

Andy & Katie – Wisconsin

By Brittany Carvalho • January 25, 2026
Hello & Thank You , We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to learn about who we are, and we are honored and humbled that you would consider us to adopt your child. While we can never fully understand how difficult this decision is or what you are going through, we want you to know that we see your strength, bravery, and selflessness. We will make sure your child grows up knowing that, and feeling proud of their story and where they come from. We are committed to being open and honest every step of the way. We are Andy and Katie. We have been married for 10 years and have known each other for 14. From the very beginning of our relationship, we knew we wanted to build a family together. About a year into our marriage, we began trying, but faced many challenges and soon started infertility treatments. After many years, tests, and procedures without success, we felt called to pursue adoption, not realizing our greatest gift was yet to come. We met our son, Jude, in March of 2024, and our lives changed in the best possible way. He is the love of our lives and has been surrounded by the love and support of our family, friends, and community from the very beginning. The additional love of the family we gained through his birth parents and birth grandmother has been immeasurable, and we truly feel that it was meant to be. Jude is so ready to be a big brother, and we are thrilled to grow our family through adoption again. When it comes to raising your child, we promise to surround them with love, from us and from the many people who support us. We will teach them to lead with empathy, kindness, and respect for others. We promise a life filled with joy, laughter, cuddles, storytimes, music, and adventure. We will be their biggest advocate. Most of all, we promise to always be open and honest, sharing their story with them and helping them feel proud of who they are. We are so grateful for you and hope our profile gives you a glimpse into our lives and helps you feel a sense of comfort in what lies ahead. We would be honored to learn more about you and walk this journey alongside you, whenever and if you feel ready. With gratitude and love, Andy & Katie

We believe that being adopted is an important and meaningful part of who they are, just like their cultural and ethnic background. We are committed to being open and honest from the very beginning. We want them to know about you, where they came from, and the love that surrounds their story. We would love the opportunity to get to know you, your hopes, your dreams, and what you envision for your child’s future.
