Dear Birth Mother,
We can only imagine what it feels like to browse through the profiles you’ve been given as you try to choose the family responsible for your baby’s future. And there will likely be others who read these same words, but we don’t believe that makes them any less personal. We believe they’re meant for someone specific to find, and maybe that person is you.
It’s been a lifelong plan for both us to someday open our home through adoption. Struggles with infertility have let us pursue those plans a bit sooner than we anticipated, so we are now looking for the person whose path we were meant to cross. This profile will give you an honest glimpse into our lives and the kind of life we’d give your baby. Thank you for taking the time to read it.

About Katy:
Katy has a passion for life with the soul of a nurturer. She has an adventurer’s spirit and a love for traveling. Her ability to truly know someone is unparalleled. She’s the kind of person who will know within five minutes of meeting someone what kind of gift she’d like to give them on their next birthday. She attended college in Michigan after high school and ultimately earned a degree in 2010. Katy works for a non-profit organization that helps kids and their families successfully get ready for school. In her role as a Family Service Worker, she recognizes the importance that parents and caregivers have in their children’s lives and does what she can to help and encourage their long term success.
About Adam:
About Adam:
Adam is happiest when he’s doing something creative like writing or drawing. He earned a degree in Broadcasting in 2005, and is almost ready to complete the requirements for a graduate degree in Professional Writing, something he’s always wanted to do. He has an amazing wit and a dry sense of humor that he often uses just to make people laugh or make someone else’s day better. He currently works as a technical communicator where he’s able to combine his love for writing and learning with an amazing understanding of people and technology in a way that fosters new understanding and enriches people’s academic potential.
About Us:
About Us:
We met in high school but didn’t become a couple until the summer after Adam graduated in 2001. Katy was two years behind, and so when Adam went away for college that fall a long distance relationship began. We made an effort to see each other at least once a month and made it a point to speak on the phone or online every day. We’ve remained committed ever since and a source of pride in our lives comes from this success. In 2009 we were married in front of 180 of our closest family members and friends and, shortly after returning from a honeymoon in Hawaii, we purchased our first home which is where we remain today.
The guiding principles of our relationship to each other and the world around us are centered on honesty, civility, tolerance and respect, and we see the ultimate meaning of life in expressions of love, creativity, and knowledge.
Our Family:
Both of us com:e from large and loving families who are extremely supportive of our choice to bring a child into our home. We value spending time with our families and celebrate with them whenever possible, including holidays, birthdays and anniversaries. We are also very fortunate to have most of our family within a 20 minute drive of our house. We are lucky enough to come from a family of teachers, professionals, lawyers and even a few doctors. Because of this variety in career paths, we know your child will have no shortage of role models.
While we do enjoy traveling as a couple, we’re also happy to be able to travel with our family and friends. We’ve been all over the US, to places like California, Illinois, New York, Connecticut, Nevada, Florida, and we’ve even been lucky enough to visit Hawaii twice, which is definitely our favorite vacation spot!
Our Home:
We live in a newer ranch style house with a lot of room indoors, and a lot of outdoor charm. It has an open floor plan which makes it easy to socialize or keep an eye on little ones. Our home is part of a diverse neighborhood, with parks, sidewalks, schools, libraries and playgrounds all located within a mile, some of which are connected by bike paths. You can often find us outside on a walk with our two miniature Schnauzers (Sophia, 8 and Bane, 1) working in the yard (where we also have 3 small chickens; Blanche, Dorothy and Rose), or snuggling up on the couch with a good book, good movie, or our favorite TV shows. We enjoy finding new recipes to cook and finding new games to play. A fun, relaxing evening with us would be spent socializing with friends and family over a board game like Settlers of Catan.

Our Promise:
We can’t promise a fairy tale ending. The simple truth is that there are no shortcuts around bad days and rough patches. So while your baby will certainly experience life’s joys and wonders with us, so too will your baby experience life’s ups and downs. The only thing we can truly promise is that your baby will never face those things alone. We will be there, always.
We promise to raise your baby secure in the knowledge that he or she will always have a set of loving birthparents. We’ll work with him or her and encourage a healthy connection to his or her heritage. We promise to be committed guardians of the life you are entrusting us with. We promise to never stop learning, growing, adapting and loving our child totally and unconditionally.
