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

Meet Chelsea

Meet Chelsea

You should know this about my wife: she’s an amazing mother first and foremost, and she’s also the kind of brilliant lawyer who can out-reason anyone in the room, yet still somehow lose her keys twice a day. She’s a lovable dork in the truest, most endearing sense, and yes, I tease her for it constantly, but I’m genuinely so proud of her.

ļ»æ

Chelsea laughs with her whole face and smiles with her whole heart. She is such a happy person. What makes her truly remarkable, though, is her heart. She’s the person who remembers everyone’s birthdays, who won’t leave your side when you’re sick, who cries at dog-rescue videos, and who always shows up. Her empathy is effortless. Her kindness is instinctive. And her capacity to love unconditionally is the core of who she is. Long before Sofia entered our lives, Chelsea was already a mother in her heart, even before either of us ever said the words out loud.


And I’ll tell you this as the man who knows her better than anyone: any child who grows up with her will never doubt for a single moment that they are cherished. I already see it with our daughter, Sofia—she will raise our children to be brave, thoughtful, confident, and kind. And she will love them with everything she has.

    • Our Story

    Our love story started in 2016 when we started working together in the Air Force in Germany. We were both active-duty lawyers, and from the very beginning, we just clicked. Nick has such a playful side, and he loved teasing me by turning everything upside down in my office and playing practical jokes. We quickly became close and always felt like we were “home” when we were together.


    Over time, our friendship deepened, we became best friends, and we started dating. Things felt so natural. When I deployed to Afghanistan, Nick wrote me letters, and we talked several times a day. It was during that time that we knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with one another.

    ļ»æ

    We got married in Virginia in 2019, which was such a special day for us. From the very beginning, we knew we wanted to grow our family through adoption, and that dream has guided us every step of the way.

    • Meet Sofia

    Meet Sofia

    Our beautiful daughter, Sofia, is a fun, kind, sweet, and lovable toddler who brightens everyone’s day. She’s very easygoing and loves exploring everything around her.


    She’s always up for painting, playing dress-up, or playing with her dollhouse. She’s also in gymnastics and has recently started making up her own songs, which is honestly adorable. Sofia is incredibly loving, smart, curious, and often hilariously funny. She loves animals and enjoys spending time with our pets, Apollo and Percy. Another important part of her life is her cousins—she loves visiting with them and always looks forward to big family gatherings.

    ļ»æ

    She adores Peppa Pig, and lately she’s been getting into Disney princesses too. She’s also very headstrong: nearly every day, she makes sure to tell us that she wants a baby brother or sister.

    • Nick's Family

    My family is warm, hilarious, and endlessly supportive. I’m one of five, and my dad is Mexican, with roots in San Antonio, so there’s always great food, big laughs, and lots of teasing. There are eight cousins now—including Sofia—who, for the most part, are all around the same age, and they’re inseparable the moment we all get together.


    We try to get together as much as we can, even with everyone spread out—hikes, park days, beach trips—anything outdoors. One of the family traditions when everyone is together is to play family poker, which is a really fun time for everyone. Some of our funnest family memories revolve around it.

    ļ»æ

    Everyone genuinely gets along, and Chelsea considers my family to be some of her best friends. It truly feels like home whenever we’re together. We even merge our families on occasion and have a blast.

    • Chelsea's Family

    My extended family is big, close-knit, loving, and multicultural. I have three younger siblings, two of whom were adopted: my sister is Eurasian from Kazakhstan, and my brother is African American from Virginia. Most of my extended family lives in Virginia, so my parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins are always getting together. We’re all very close, and even though we live out of state, we visit frequently.


    My mom is one of seven, so family gatherings are always loud and fun, and we still make it a point to get everyone together often—even taking vacations as a whole crew. With my dad being from Greece, our family blends traditions and backgrounds, making every celebration rich with diverse culture. I love having a full house and hosting family events, and my parents’ strong marriage is something I truly look up to.


    Our family is growing, too—my brother and his wife now have a one-year-old, which has made gatherings even sweeter.

    Nick & Chelsea - A Look Into Our Life

    Meet Apollo & Percy

    Apollo is our big cat who’s incredibly curious, cuddly, and loving. He’s super friendly and loves being around people, especially Sofia. Sofia actually considers him her best friend and often uses him as a pillow. Apollo is always near her, following her around and loving all the attention she gives him. He’s a bit more like a dog than a cat and really enjoys being part of everything we do.

    ļ»æ

    And then there’s Percy, whom we affectionately call “Monkey Man.” Percy is a goofy dog who’s nothing but a big teddy bear. He’s gentle, sweet, and loves playing ball outside in the yard. He loves people—especially Nick—but he’s a loyal dog who loves all of us. Together, Apollo and Percy are such a big part of our family, and Sofia absolutely adores them both.

    • Nick and I loved to travel before Sofia came into our lives. Once we became a family, our love of traveling didn't stop—we continue to go on fun domestic and international adventures as a family, along with extended family, and believe it’s so important for our children to experience new places and different cultures.

    ļ»æ

    Sofia has already been to Greece, England, Spain (...and Disney!), and we’re currently in the middle of planning our next international trip. Traveling together creates so many special memories and helps Sofia start to see the world beyond our home.

    • Family Traditions

    We love making holidays special by creating our own traditions and honoring the cultures and history that are important to our family. One of our favorite traditions is Thanksgiving at Chelsea’s parents’ home, where most of her mom’s side of the family gathers and the guys compete in a fun Turkey Cook-Off. Every Christmas, we wear matching family pajamas no matter where we celebrate, and we ring in the New Year with homemade pizzas.

    ļ»æ

    Because Chelsea is Greek, we celebrate name days in addition to birthdays and go all out for Easter with her family, enjoying traditional Greek food, dancing, and time together. We also observe several Catholic traditions, including Mardi Gras with King Cake, a Holy Thursday Passover dinner with extended family, and St. Nicholas’ feast day by putting out our shoes for treats. Another meaningful tradition is Día de los Muertos, when we create an ofrenda to honor and remember loved ones who have passed. Our year is filled with traditions that bring us together and help us create lasting family memories.

    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

    Zack & Lindsay – Wisconsin

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 1, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , Our names are Zack and Lindsay, and we are so grateful that you're considering us to be a potential part of your adoption plan. We can't imagine how hard this is for you or what you're going through. We do understand there’s no way for us to truly grasp the weight of your decision, but we respect and admire your strength and courage. Through this letter and this book, we want to share a little about ourselves with you. We met in 2008, and it was love at first sight. After 6 months of dating, we got engaged and married in 2010. We knew early on in our marriage that we wanted to explore adoption to build a family, and we had lots of love to give. Over time, we grew together, strengthened our love, and prepared our lives and our home to provide a caring, nurturing environment for a new addition to our family. Our adoption journey was difficult due to our issues with infertility, but our motivation to adopt comes from a place of love and a desire to share that love by growing our family. In 2022, we were blessed with adopting a beautiful baby boy, Atlas, who is the light of our lives. It has been our privilege to watch him grow, learn, change, and develop. He’s shown us how wonderful and rewarding adoption can be, motivating us to continue our adoption journey. We have so much respect and admiration for Atlas's birth mom. We regularly share pictures and updates of all Atlas’s changes and activities, and we make sure that he’s aware that we’re sending updates to his birth mom so that as he grows, we can continue to share his adoption story with him. We feel it’s so important that Atlas’s birth mom gets to watch him develop, and we want you to know that we are open to whatever contact you would like. As a family, we want to honor and respect Atlas’s heritage, and one way we’re doing that is by learning Spanish together. Atlas attends a Spanish-speaking school, and we are learning Spanish along with him. We are both driven and have many hobbies, including physical and outdoor activities, reading, cooking, and continuing education. For us, raising children means bringing the most important people in the world along with us on new adventures and learning new skills. We hope this book gives you a look into our lives, who we are as people, who we are as a couple, and who we are as a family. We are thinking of you and wish you well in all you do. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. Sincerely, Zack & Lindsay

    Mark & Kristin - Texas

    By Brittany Carvalho • November 28, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , Thank you for taking the time to view our photobook and consider us as adoptive parents for your baby. We are so excited to be adopting a baby and finally becoming parents. We know you will follow your heart and make the best choice in selecting the family for your baby to join. We are Kristin and Mark, and we have been together since November 2020, married in April 2022. When we first started dating, I shared with Mark that because of my reproductive issues, having a biological child might not be possible. He was very understanding and supportive and open to adoption as a way to start our family. Mark and I are surrounded by a huge support system on both of our sides, who cannot wait to have another child join the family. We have lots of nieces and nephews who are anxiously awaiting the arrival of a new cousin to play with. Our parents are looking forward to having another grandchild to spoil. Your child will be raised in a loving Christian home, guided by values of kindness, compassion, integrity, and the importance of family. They will be loved unconditionally and always have unwavering family support in all they choose to endeavor. We look forward to sharing our love of sports and music while encouraging them to explore their own passions. As we continue deepening our faith, we are committed to becoming more involved in church and look forward to attending regularly as a family. While growing up, we both dreamt of one day having our own family and a child to call us Mom and Dad. We can’t begin to understand how difficult this decision is for you. We are praying for strength and clarity during this time and know you will make the best decision. Thank you again for considering us to be the adoptive parents for your baby. It means the world to us. Sincerely, Mark & Kristin

    Matthew & Lauren - Texas

    By Brittany Carvalho • November 25, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We can only imagine the love, strength, and courage it takes to create an adoption plan, and we want you to know how much we admire and respect you for it. How do you find the words to write to someone you have not yet met, but already feel such deep love and gratitude for? The opportunity you are providing to help create a family that otherwise would not be is something we will never take for granted. We are truly honored to be considered as potential parents for your child, and we hold this moment with the utmost respect. We are Matthew and Lauren. We met in 2018, and on our very first date, we were already dreaming about having a family. We married in 2021 and quickly began planning to grow our little family. We have two dogs, Olly and Marvel, who we know would love a sibling to play with and protect. After learning that Lauren could not get pregnant, we realized that this was God’s way of guiding us toward something just as beautiful — adoption. Adoption holds deep meaning for us. Matt and his brother were both adopted as young children, and he has always known it would be part of his story, too. We are both incredibly grateful to have loving and supportive families behind us as we grow our family through adoption. From the very beginning, our parents, siblings, and extended families have cheered us on with open hearts. They are all so excited to welcome a new child into our lives and cannot wait to share in the joy. This book is a glimpse into our lives - who we are, the life we’ve built together, and the life we hope to share with a child. We hope you feel the love, laughter, and stability that surround us and our home. If we are chosen, we will raise your child with endless love, support, and a deep respect for where they came from- you! We will speak your name with honor and ensure that your child grows up knowing their story began with love. Sincerely, Matthew & Lauren

    Matthew & Brittni – Wisconsin

    By Brittany Carvalho • November 24, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , We Are Matt, Brittni, Braelyn, and Noah! So, who are we really? We are an "always on the go, planning countless trips to the waterpark" type of family. We're full of joy and laughter, and we treat every day as a blessing. Whether it's making a late-night ice cream run in our jammies or cozying up for bedtime snuggles, we savor the simple moments together. We're excited to add another member to our crew and share more Disney adventures, backyard campfires, morning coffee and muffins, and all the love we have to offer. Our journey hasn't always been easy, but it has deepened our relationship and strengthened our faith. From a young age, adoption was something we talked about, prayed for, and felt called to pursue. We've been blessed to have loved ones in our family who are adopted, and we know firsthand how love transcends all circumstances, unconditional and boundless. Coming from large families with close-knit sibling and parent relationships, we've always known we wanted children to fill our hearts and home. ļ»æ We have one biological child, Braelyn, who fills our lives with indescribable joy. After complications following Braelyn's birth and the life-saving measures that were needed, we are unable to carry another child. After years of prayers, opening our hearts to foster children, and difficult decisions, God led us to pursue adoption. In 2022, we were blessed beyond measure to welcome our sweet little guy, Noah, into our family through adoption. His arrival forever changed our lives in the best possible way, and we are so thankful to have him and his birth family as part of our story. As parents, our main goal has always been and will always be to embrace the uniqueness and individuality of our children. We are their biggest cheerleaders, helping them grow, thrive, and know the deep blessing they are to us. Each child is gifted with their own strengths and interests, and it is our mission to create a loving, safe space where their creativity can flourish and where they always feel comfortable sharing their hearts, passions, and dreams. We promise to provide a joyful, loving home where they can be silly, radiate their true selves, and feel completely at peace. We are beyond excited to continue this beautiful journey and add another child to our family, creating lasting memories and traditions that will span the years. We cannot begin to fully understand the selfless and brave choice you have made in choosing adoption for your child, but we hope that, as you get to know us, you will find comfort, support, and reassurance in each step of this journey. Sincerely, Matthew & Brittni

    Anthony & Claudia – Texas

    By Brittany Carvalho • November 23, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , First and foremost, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. We can only imagine how difficult this decision must be, and we want you to know that your love and concern for your child’s future are deeply admired and appreciated. Our names are Claudia and Anthony. We have been together for eight years, married for six, and have known each other for more than twenty-five. Adoption has always been in our hearts. Our plan was to have a biological child first and then adopt, but God had a different plan. In 2020, we experienced a missed miscarriage, and despite trying again naturally, we were unable to conceive. We explored IVF and fertility treatments, but those were also unsuccessful. This path ultimately led us to adoption and to our greatest blessing, our daughter Lucianna, who joined our family in 2023. She is surrounded by love and brings us so much joy every single day. She cannot wait to be a big sister, and we cannot wait to grow our family again through adoption. If you choose us, your child will always know their adoption story and the incredible love and courage behind your decision. From an early age, they will know their adoption story and grow up knowing how truly loved they are by both you and us. We are committed to providing a nurturing, supportive, and joy-filled home. Your child will be surrounded by a large, loving family, supportive friends, and endless opportunities to learn, grow, and follow their dreams. Most importantly, they will always know they are deeply loved and cherished. Thank you again for considering us as part of your adoption plan. We are ready to welcome another child into our family with open arms and an abundance of love. With sincere appreciation and warmest regards, Anthony & Claudia

    Garot & Carrie – Wisconsin

    By Brittany Carvalho • November 22, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , Although we haven't met yet, we have been praying for you. We can only begin to imagine the emotion of your situation, and hope that you feel loved and supported no matter where you are on this journey. We respect your strength and your selflessness for considering adoption. We understand that you want what is best for your precious baby, and we do too, whether with you, with us, or with another great family. We are Carrie and Garot, from Wisconsin, and we are honored to be considered to raise your child. After initially meeting in college, we have been happily married for six years. We were blessed with a pregnancy, but at 23 weeks experienced a rare complication that led to the heartbreaking loss of our daughter and placed Carrie in the ICU for a month. Thankfully, she has fully recovered; however, future pregnancies would still carry the same risk. In 2023, we welcomed our daughter Gianna home through adoption. We look forward to her becoming a big sister in the future and to them being able to share their adoption stories with each other. We believe adoption is not about finding a child for a family, but more about finding a family for the child. You will always be a part of your child's family, and we will always respect the decisions you make for your child. We want to thank you for considering us to be part of your story and your child's story. We promise that you will be honored, cherished, and celebrated each day of your child's life. In our home, your child will be loved unconditionally by us, our daughter, our dogs, our families, and our friends. We can't wait to read bedtime stories, visit the zoo, swing on the swings at the park by our home, attend their first recital or sporting event, bring them to their first day of school, and support them throughout all of their accomplishments. It is our goal that your child grows up happy, healthy, kind, and generous. We have always dreamed of having a large family, and we are looking forward to continuing to grow our family through adoption. We want to thank you for considering us as adoptive parents for your child! Sincerely, Garot & Carrie

    Iván & Angel – Alabama

    Hello & Thank You , We are truly excited to meet you and thank you for taking the time to get to know us. Even though we have not met yet, we are already holding you and your child close in our hearts. We admire your strength and bravery, and we promise to be by your side every step of the way. If you choose us, we will welcome your child into our family and home with open arms and open hearts. We will protect and care for your child for the rest of our lives. We will dance in the rain wearing yellow rain boots. We will face the hard times, celebrate the joyful moments, overcome fears, and experience everything life has to offer - all together. We are Iván, Angel, and our sweet daughter, Milana, who cannot wait to become a big sister! Our home is full of energy, love, and laughter. We also have three little barking babies who keep us on our toes and fill our days with endless smiles. Our family is as loving and close-knit as you could ever hope to find. Our path to having another child has been challenging. After trying for years to grow our family, we realized adoption was the right path for us. We are so grateful for this opportunity and ready to love and care for a child with all our hearts. If you choose us, we promise to give your child a safe, loving home filled with happiness and support. To us, life is meant to be lived fully and joyfully. We dance often, sing at the top of our lungs, and laugh nonstop. While we take our responsibilities seriously and have worked hard to build the life and family we cherish, we also believe in not taking ourselves too seriously. We find beauty in the simple things and make sure to slow down and savor them. Everything we do, we do as a team - and our grandmas and grandpas love joining in on the fun and being part of our family adventures. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We hold deep respect and gratitude for you as you consider this decision. We hope to have the honor of welcoming your child into our family and sharing a lifetime of love and joy. With love, Iván & Angel

    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
