Waiting Families

Bob, Nick, & Ayden

Bob, Ayden, and I would like to start by saying thank you for taking the time to look at our profile and consider us as adoptive parents to your child. We are so grateful that you are considering adoption and are excited that after learning more about us we could potentially be a good fit to parent your child. We have been raising our four-year-old son Ayden from when he was only 2 days old, and it has been everything we had dreamed of and more. Bob and I talked about wanting children on our very first date and decided that adoption was the best choice for us. We always thought two children was the perfect number for our family. We would love nothing more than to share our family and all of life’s adventures with a younger sibling for our son. We love to spend a lot of time outdoors; when it’s warm we spend our days on the lake boating, swimming, and tubing and when it’s cold we like to build snowmen and go sledding and skiing. We love to travel as a family; we’ve been to Disneyland twice already and love to go camping with our extended family. Everyday seems to be a great adventure whether it be outdoors or inside making forts, playing make believe, or learning our letters and numbers. Nothing would bring us more joy than to have another child to share our love with and make our family complete.

John & Erin

As a family, we absolutely love spending time outdoors. When we are not working and going to school, some of the things that we like to do as a family are taking walks around the neighborhood, going to parks (and picnics), and going on light hikes on trails. We also love to attend location events and festivals, as well as taking time to go on some camping trips during the summer! One of the most important things to us are the times we get to spend with our extended family for family get-togethers and the holidays.

We are looking to grow our family and hoping to adopt another child, newborn to 2 years old. We are also open to any race and gender. Aside from our dreams to be able to adopt another child, we are also hoping to be able to help someone in a difficult situation, and to hopefully be able to lighten some of the pain in having to make a difficult choice. Our family has so much love and adventures to share. We hope that someone might take a few seconds to consider our family and maybe get to know us a little more!

Courtney, Jon, Eliana, & Jensen

Since I was a girl, I have dreamt about what my family would look like.  The typical who am I going to marry, how many kids will we have, where will we live and what will we do.  In all of those dreams adoption was always a part of the process.  While the dreams I had when I was younger didn’t turn out the exact way I thought it would, I wouldn’t change a part of it.  Jon and I began dating after being set up by a mutual friend and within a couple of years we were married.  We spent some time focusing on each other and growing as a married couple.  Our family grew after many long years of deciding which path God was directing us, but His blessings abounded when we were paired with a mother and given the blessing of our first daughter through adoption. Eliana is a spit fire. She has a personality for days with a whole lot of sass. She is wise beyond her years. She is funny and witty. She is kind and sensitive. She’s the best! While we began the process for adoption a year and a half later, God had other plans as we got pregnant with our second child. Jensen is a quiet, sensitive sole. He is cautious, yet very curious of new things, and likes to observe from a far. He takes in everything around him. His big blue eyes and his flirty smile make my heart melt. He is a mama’s boy through and through, but no one can make him laugh like his big sister.  He’s just a really cool kid. As a result of our so, the adoption process had to be put on hold and during that time the world entered into a pandemic.  Jon had recently switched careers moving into real estate and I continued as a hairstylist owning my own studio.  We built a custom home on the property with my parents and sister’s family a few houses down.  We have always and will continue to rely on our friends and family for support as we move through life’s challenges and blessings and through it all will remain steadfast in our faithfulness to God.  The dreams I had when I was younger were perfect then but as our family has grown and life has moved on, my dreams have changed and I look forward to seeing those dreams become a reality.

Steve & Emelie

Hello! We’re Steve and Emelie. First, we want to say thank you so much for taking the time to get to know us and for your consideration. We have talked about adoption since we started dating and have always known that this is one way we desire to grow our family. Crazy enough, after years of fertility and multiple pregnancy losses, we are expecting and he or she is due July 17! We have always dreamt of having multiple kids and we are very excited about the possibility of having two kids close in age as siblings. Faith and family mean everything to us. We love the days we get to spend together, whether we are just at home, at a family gathering, or hanging out with friends. We love playing board games, going to the movies, spending time outside, walking our dog, going to the gym, and watching sports together. We also love to travel when we have the opportunity. We will take your lead on an open or closed adoption and we want you to know that we are deeply committed to raising your child in a loving and nurturing environment and loving him or her unconditionally.

Jeff, Lauren, & Jack

Hi, we are Jeff, Lauren and Jack. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about our family!

Jeff and I met online 12 years ago, but shortly after meeting, we found out that we were in the same kindergarten class! We grew up only 5 streets away from each other. There were many times in our lives that our paths could have crossed, but they didn’t until the time was right. There was an instant connection and we have been inseparable ever since!

For many years, we tried to bring a child into our family. Finally in 2020, our dreams came true and we were chosen to be parents to a son. Jack was born in March 2020. We are forever grateful to his birth parents for choosing us to raise him. He brings so much joy and happiness to our lives and the lives of those around us. It’s such a blessing to be his parents.

We love spending time together as a family. We like to swim in our backyard pool, go on walks and weekend traditions like getting doughnuts on Saturday mornings. We enjoy going up north and to Frakenmuth as a family too.

Jack has siblings who live with his birth mother, but we would love for him to have a sibling in our home. He is funny and friendly and we think he would be a great big brother! We have an open relationship with his birth mother, we message and send pictures frequently, and are comfortable with whatever level of openness you prefer.
