Hello & Thank You,  


We are Lori and Adam, and we want to thank you for considering us to be your child's adoptive parents. Thinking about the first words we would say to you consumes us, How can we express the gratitude and love we already feel for you? Though our circumstances and situation may be different, our coming together was written in our story long before we knew-- and that is more precious than gold. 


You are selfless, brave, and beyond strong. The magnitude of your decision shows how deeply you love this child. "There is gold in every piece of your story." That saying reminds me of how Japanese culture restores porcelain when it’s been chipped or broken, they piece it back together with a layer of gold. That veining of Gold brings out the beauty in the imperfection, making it a unique centerpiece for a story that has yet been told. We are merely trying to say God is creating a masterpiece out of our story and you are the solid gold God is using to put our broken pieces back together. 


Ever since I was a young girl I have wanted to adopt and be a stay at home Mom. Adoption became more real to us two years after getting married. Due to complications, it made it impossible for me to get pregnant without medical intervention. This was God's way of showing us that while His desire for our lives may be different, it is so beautiful. 


We are beyond excited to grow our family through adoption. Your child will be so loved, adored, and provided for. Your child will know the sacrifice you made and  love you have for them and they will always know where they came from and who their first family is. We look forward to getting to know you and hope to have the opportunity to develop a relationship together. We are praying for you, your health, your pregnancy, and your child.


Much Love,


Adam & Lori

Meet Adam

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 Adam

One of the first things that attracted me to Adam was his boldness in asking me on a date without ever speaking to me beforehand. When we finally met, I was immediately captured by his light blue eyes. They felt safe and warm, like nothing could ever harm me as long as he was there.


He is funny and is rarely ever serious. He loves to talk in random voices and is constantly making up songs when he thinks no one else is listening. He loves to laugh, nap, eat, and build things. He has so many God-given talents it's hard just to name one. He has such a drive to achieve his goals and a desire to provide for our family no matter how hard. He is good at anything he sets his mind to and is extremely intelligent with common sense, too.


What I love most about Adam is his love for Jesus, me, and Riley. When Riley made us parents, it brought out a side of him that I had not seen before. It was so precious in those first weeks seeing Adam take over and be super Dad. Singing to her as he rocks her to sleep. Chasing her and throwing her in the air. Being Papa Bear when he felt protective. The twinkle in his eyes when he sees her. His face just lights up, and nothing in the world matters when he is with her.

    • Our Story

    Adam and I were set up by our hairstylist, who had been talking us up to each other for months. One day, she sneakily scheduled our appointments back to back so we’d cross paths. As I walked in, she pointed Adam out and told me to friend her on Facebook—she’d take it from there.


    A few weeks later, I gave in and sent the request. The next day, I got a message from Adam: “Just wanted to say hi and see if you’d like to go to dinner sometime?” I still have it saved. He made reservations at a local favorite I’d always wanted to try, picked me up from the home I had just bought, and after dinner we drove around for hours talking about everything. From that day on, we were inseparable.


    Exactly a year later, Adam proposed in the home that became our family home. Our wedding was held lakeside, with the ceremony and reception at beautiful venues filled with family, friends, and amazing views.

    

    The most unforgettable moment came at the end of the night: my dad, a longtime antique car collector, had promised me a 1963 Corvette when I grew up—but it was never restored. That night, as we prepared to leave, the crowd parted to reveal my little red Corvette, fully restored by Adam and my dad as a surprise. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day—and yes, I ugly cried!

    • Meet Riley

    Hi, I’m Riley; Mamí and Papí adopted me in 2023. It is their desire for me to have a sibling to grow with and be my best friend. I love to laugh, dance, and greet everyone I meet with a huge smile and wave. I love animals, but I especially love my dog Asher and reading books.


    Mamí and Papí feel that it is very important for me to know my heritage and my story. They include my Mexican heritage traditions in our holiday celebrations and incorporate yummy foods. Mamí and Papí are learning Spanish so they can teach me as I grow up. My birth family primarily speaks Spanish, so it’s important that we be able to connect and communicate.

    • Our Home

    Our home is a cottage-style house on a large lot in a great, established neighborhood. Located on a quiet dead-end street with settled neighbors. Our home has three bedrooms, one bath, and a large fenced backyard.


    I purchased this house as a fixer upper when I was single. It quickly became the project that Adam and I put sweat and tears into to renovate and make our home.

    • Adam's Family

    My Mom is the best Mimi any kid could ever ask for—she is so involved in her children and grandchildren’s lives. I have never met a person who would give anything to make sure you are taken care of. My Dad, who was a wonderful Gandadda, passed away in 2013. My younger sister is married and has two children who we adore and love spending time with. They all live about an hour away where I was born and raised. My mom loves spending every moment she can with Riley. We FaceTime when apart and play on the floor together singing pat-a-cake and other nursery rhythms when reunited.


    Mimi is beyond excited to have a fourth grandchild to spoil. Having Riley added to the cousin crew has been such a blessing. Alyssa and Gavin are both obsessed with Riley and are constantly vying for her attention. While Aunt Niki takes her for horse back rides. Riley is now obsessed with horses. Uncle Jeremy loves to tickle her with his facial hair and make her squeal.

    • Lori's Family

    Since I am an only child, my immediate family is very small. My parents have been married 50 years. We all live in the same town, so we have the luxury of having family support close to us. My mom is now retired from our local university. She enjoys gardening and shopping. My dad is kind of a jack of all trades and loves antique cars. My parents and I are animal lovers, and because they live on a few acres of land, we have many animals. I used to refer to our home as an ark because we had two of everything. They are very active with Riley when they see her. Grammy wants all the snuggles and kisses she can get while Grandpa is expected to chase her around saying “I’m gonna get you” as she shrieks and giggles while trying to run away. They are so in love with Riley and can’t wait to share that love with another grandchild.

    • We love to travel and explore new places. Our favorite place to be is in the mountains. I’m from Texas, born and raised. We travel there all the time since all of my family still live there. We love to eat, so finding a hidden gem that is a local favorite is always at the top of our to-do list.


    Traveling with Riley has definitely added a new layer of joy to our adventures. She is so curious and fearless.


    We have learned so far that, like us, she enjoys the mountains, but she is not yet a beach bum as she doesn’t like the feel of sand in between her toes.


    Getting to see the excitement and sparkle in her eyes as she points to something or says wow, just melts our hearts and we can't wait to add another to our adventures!

    Getting to add Riley to our family was definitely a blessing but Riley came to us with a family of her own. Her birth family is and will always be part of that package. It was also our desire to have a relationship with our birth family. Having said that our relationship with Riley’s birth family is completely open and healthy. No matter the circumstances Riley will always know her roots and how much her birth family loves her. Our communication and sharing in each others lives are as open as what is comfortable and healthy for everyone involved. Our wish is to continue with that kind of open relationship with our new birth 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

    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
