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 were 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 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 weshare withn each other, our families, our faith, and the joy we have for the future journey we have prayed about. Whichever decision you decide, we want you to know 

that you will forever be in our prayers.


Sincerely,


Jose & Daniella

    • Our Story

    Jose and I met on the online dating site Match.com and spent the first couple of weeks chatting exclusively on the site. Eventually, we decided to meet up at La Madeleine, a nearby French restaurant. It was late at night after a busy day at work for both of us. The night ended short, and we both found ourselves asking when we could meet again.


    We exchanged phone numbers, and our conversations became endless. After dating for 16 months, we took our first trip to New York City, visiting attractions like the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and the Rockefeller Center. Later, I found out he had the engagement ring with him throughout the trip. Tight security prevented his initial plan to propose, so he popped the question privately, and I happily said, "YES!"


    We got married in 2016 at a beautiful Country Club. During our wedding, our family and friends enjoyed a variety of desserts at our candy booth, took memorable photos at our photo booth, and listened to mariachis during dinnertime. The night ended with family and friends congratulating us with sparklers in hand. The night was filled with love, laughter, and joy.

    • When we purchased our home in 2020, we dreamed of starting a family. We are very excited to make this dream come true. Our house is located on the corner of a cul-de-sac in a gated community. It consists of four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and an open-concept living area with plenty of room for family and friends to gather. Our home also includes a built-in office, which is utilized for work & study time. Most of our time is spent hanging out in the living/dining areas, enjoying a home-cooked meal, or having a family movie night. In the Spring and Summer months, we enjoy frequent barbecues and staying cool in our in-ground pool, which is equipped with an alarm for safety. Our backyard also consists of a small covered patio with additional yard space to run around and play. We live in a very friendly community where many children are seen riding bikes, walking, and hanging out with friends.

    We are located just north of the city limits with easy access to nearby shopping centers and restaurants. Our community and surrounding areas include local parks and walking trails. We are just a few miles away from theme parks, bowling alleys, and movie theaters. There are so many other fun activities to do within our city that we can’t wait to do with our child. These places include a children’s museum, a zoo, and even a nearby aquarium.

    Jose's Family

    I grew up as a military brat, though I spent most of my adolescent years in Texas. I have an older brother with whom I’m very close, and we communicate frequently. We’re 18 months apart, and I’ve always admired him.


    My brother and his wife have two daughters, ages 2 and 1. They live about 30 minutes away, and we usually see them at unplanned brunches when our schedules align.


    My dad remarried in 2015, and he and his wife are retired. They live within the city limits, and we visit them monthly while staying in touch throughout the week. They love social gatherings and family barbecues and are excited about the arrival of another grandchild.


    My mom retired in 2019 and stays active in a variety of activities. We’re very close and talk daily. She lives just outside the city limits, and we see her bi-weekly. She’s always there for family and ready to help when needed. My mom shares a special bond with her granddaughters and is thrilled about the new addition to the family.

    • I come from a close-knit Hispanic family, with many relatives from Mexico, and some extended family still living there. I’m fluent in Spanish, and so are several family members. I also plan to teach our child Spanish.


    I grew up in South Texas with my parents and two sisters. My parents have been married for 47 years, are both retired, and love spending time with family. They stay active, running errands, gardening, and spending time with their daughters and grandchildren. They live about 4 hours away, and I talk to them daily, visiting every couple of months when we have weekends off.


    I’m the youngest in the family. My oldest sister is married with two sons, living near my parents in South Texas. My middle sister lives in North Texas with her daughter, who’s in college. We all make an effort to get together for holidays, birthdays, and special occasions.

    Our families also have a strong support system with aunts, uncles, and cousins who are excited to welcome a new little one into the fold.

    • Our Nieces & Nephews

    Jose and I deeply cherish our three nieces and two nephews, spanning ages from 19 down to just one. Witnessing their growth and being involved in their lives brings us immense joy. From offering guidance in life's lessons to cheering them on in sports and attending their concerts, we've cherished every moment spent with them. Our support also extends to their spiritual journey, from baptisms to confirmations and receiving the Eucharist. It's a privilege to have been chosen as godparents to one of our nieces, and we eagerly anticipate the arrival of a new cousin to deepen our family bonds even further.

    • Jose and I enjoy traveling and exploring different places. We have traveled to many states and have seen many different scenic areas. Whether it be to New York to visit the Statue of Liberty, Arizona to see the Grand Canyon, or Colorado to explore Pikes Peak, we cannot wait to make many memories and create new experiences with our child.


    Traveling is very important to us and something we will continue to do as the years go on. It strengthens family bonds and creates shared experiences. It has also allowed us to gain new perspectives, skills, and a better understanding of the world.

    • Holiday Traditions 

    We absolutely love the holidays and have traditions for each one! We decorate our house with themes and colors, like pink and red for Valentine's Day and green for St. Patrick's Day.


    For Easter, we visit family, go to church, have a barbecue, crack cascarones, and watch the kids hunt for Easter eggs. On Independence Day, we host a pool party with great food for family and friends.


    In November, we celebrate Dia De Los Muertos with an altar to honor loved ones who’ve passed. Thanksgiving is a big family feast, and it’s one of my favorite holidays to host because I love cooking!


    On Christmas Eve, we gather for a big meal with tamales, and on Christmas Day, we exchange gifts and relax. We have many other traditions, and sometimes we’re not sure which holidays we'll spend with each side of the family, as they live in different places. But what's most important is making memories, spending time with family, and capturing those moments in photos. We can’t wait to expand our family and create new traditions with our child.

    • We both come from a Catholic religious background, which will always be an important part of our lives. We believe in the Bible, trust in God, go to church, believe in the power of prayer, spread his word, and try to follow in the Lord’s footsteps. We plan on raising our child with the same religious beliefs, teaching them about God and having faith.

    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

    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

    Damon & Amanda – Alabama

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 12, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , We are Damon and Amanda, and we thank you for taking the time to learn more about our family. We can't imagine how hard this choice must be, and we have SO much respect for you. Your courage is truly admirable. We hope our story will be helpful as you make your choice. Please know that no matter what you decide, we wish you and your child nothing but the best, and you will both be in our prayers. We would love to share a little about ourselves, and hopefully, this book will give you a clear picture of who we are! We have grown so much during our years of marriage! Our journey has included buying a house, starting new jobs, surviving a pandemic, experiencing years of infertility and loss, going on many trips, and so much more. Throughout the highs and lows, our relationship has only become stronger. We feel very blessed to have wonderful parents and grandparents who model healthy relationships. They have taught us invaluable lessons and instilled strong morals in us. From the beginning, we have known that we wanted children and planned to have them at a young age. However, we faced three years of infertility and treatments, which ultimately resulted in loss. Going through it all taught us many important lessons and brought us even closer to each other and to God. We have always wanted to adopt, and we feel that now is the right time to do it! For us, raising a child means reading books together before bed, quality family time, lots of outdoor adventures, supporting whatever dreams he/she may have, and a home full of laughter. We value communication, kindness, and passion. Our goal is to create a loving environment that inspires creativity and curiosity, embraces differences, and opens opportunities for learning and growth. Our home is filled with warmth, love, laughter, and support. Adoption means a lot to us! It represents strong people who love a child so much that they come together to build a wonderful relationship, ensuring the best care for that child. We have inspiring adoption stories within our extended family and friends, and we are grateful for their incredible support as we embark on this journey. Our utmost hope is to be the family that provides hope, love, support, and care for your child. We promise to raise them in an encouraging, safe, and loving home, striving to be the best parents we can be. We will encourage them to follow their dreams and support them every step of the way. Your child will grow up knowing their story and understanding just how loved they are by all of us. We can't express how grateful we are to be considered as potential adoptive parents for your child. Thank you again for reading about us! Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Damon & 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!

    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

    Hello & Thank You , How do you write to someone you haven’t met yet but already feel an overwhelming sense of connection and love for? 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
