Thank you for taking the time to get to know our family and for considering us in such an important decision. Our prayer is that you find peace and clarity in whatever path you choose. If you do choose us, we will be so blessed and your baby will grow up in a home filled with unconditional love.

Our story began when we were living on opposite sides of the country. Cathalina had recently moved to the United States and was living in New Jersey, while Joseph was in his home state of California. We spent months getting to know each other and building a strong friendship before finally meeting in person. Over the following year, our relationship continued to grow, and we both chose to move to Washington State, where we lived about 30 minutes apart. Later that winter, in 2012, we were married and began building our life together. We worked hard, saved for our first home, and filled our lives with meaningful memories, family traditions, and adventures. Joseph introduced Cathalina to his family, and Cathalina brought Joseph to Colombia to meet hers, blending the cultures and families that have become such an important part of our lives.

From early on, we shared a clear desire to build a family together. In 2022, our lives changed forever when we welcomed our daughter, Sofia, through adoption—an experience that has deeply shaped our lives and strengthened our commitment to growing our family. Meeting her for the first time was a moment we will never forget. Sofia has brought so much joy into our home, and we are excited for her to become a big sister as our family grows. 

Thank you again for taking the time to learn about our family and considering us during such a meaningful and courageous journey. We hold deep respect for you and the love behind every step of this decision. We believe every child is a gift from God, and if chosen, we promise to raise them with unconditional love, faith, and grace, guiding them with encouragement, stability, and a home filled with joy and meaningful memories.

We met at church and started playing board games with our friends and we often flirted across the table. We had the same sense of humor and we were both very competitive. After a year, we had our first date, a perfect picnic at the lake! A few months later, we flew to Liam’s hometown to meet his family. During that trip a blizzard began and our flight home got canceled. So, we did the sensible thing to do, and rented a small car to drive 20 hours through a blizzard. We tested our relationship on that long drive home while sliding on the road and running on no sleep. We realized from that trip and other dates that we were made for each other. Which led to our marriage. Then, we discovered we were pregnant! Kensi had a difficult pregnancy. We knew we wanted another child, but we wanted to look into other ways. This brought us to adoption. We know the love that Christ has for all his children. We are very involved in our church and close to our small group. We often are with them playing board games, roasting s’mores, or playing with our kids together. We love to go hiking, camping, anything outdoorsy, traveling, eating and making good food, and spending time together.

We are Cory and Kelsi, with three children, Abe, Hazel, and Riley. We love spending time together as a family doing activities like bike rides, movie and pizza nights, individual and family date nights. We live in a small rural town that is currently growing quickly. Kelsi is a stay-at-home mom, that works part time for the local libraries providing early childhood activities. She has her degree in Early Childhood Education. Cory is a software engineer and gets to work from home two days a week. Cory has his degree in Computer Science. Our children range in ages from 5-10.  With the youngest in morning preschool and the oldest in Junior High.  Adoption has always been part of our plan. We were blessed with our three children, but are ready to add to our family through adoption.

We are Daniel and Vanessa Bittner. We are a normal couple who live in rural Indiana. We farm crops, have chickens, a small dog named  Parker, and we like to grow produce in or garden. We live a very stable and predictable lifestyle. Daniel works 8-5 everyday as a tractor mechanic for John Deer. Vanessa makes her own hours as a Ministry Director. 

Daniel loves gardening, puzzles, and spending time with his family. 

Vanessa enjoys reading, embroidering, writing, and archery. Vanessa is also a public speaker and published author who writes under a pen name for privacy reasons. 

We love children and have 9 nieces and nephews. We spend as much time with them as possible. Our families are both so excited to have a baby. This child will be adored by everyone. 

We have been trying to have a baby for over 6 years and we have known adoption was our path for a while. We are patiently waiting for our chance to be parents. 

Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We are Rony and Kcristell, and we are honored to share a little about our lives.

We met in 2013 through our church's young adults ministry and were married in 2019. Our faith in Jesus is the foundation of our marriage and our greatest hope is to build our family through adoption.

Adoption has always been close to our hearts. Rony was adopted as a child, so we understand the beauty of adoption in a personal way. We are committed to raising a child who always knows their story and understands that both their birth family and ours deeply love them.

We are proud of our Hispanic heritage. Kcristell's family is from Honduras, and Rony's family is from Nicaragua. We look forward to sharing our cultures through traditions, food, language, and family celebrations.

We love spending time outdoors, whether we're hiking, biking, sightseeing, camping, or working in our garden. We grow our own fruits and vegetables, enjoy baking together, and love opening our home to family and friends. Our two dogs, Olivia and Bruno, bring lots of fun and are ready to welcome a little one into the family.

Our prayer is to provide a home filled with faith, laughter, adventure, and unconditional love. Thank you for considering us and allowing us to be part of your story.

We met in Virginia the summer after Katie graduated college and had an immediate connection. We started out as good friends and soon after fell in love. We live in a small town in the northern DFW area with our son Josiah, and two small dogs Sophie and Riley. We all enjoy spending time outdoors, trying out new restaurants and going on adventures. We love to laugh and have fun just being together as a family.

Hi! We are Jared and Brittany. We have felt called to adoption for a long time. Brittany has been dreaming of pursuing adoption since high school and Jared has since Brittany brought it to his attention. We have been blessed with our son, but we have also dealt with our fair share of loss and heartache through miscarriages, infertility, and a fatal birth defect with our second son. We hope you know how much your child will be loved and cherished by all of us if chosen.

We have been married for almost 10 years and have one living biological son who is 3 years old. We have two dogs who are loveable, silly and cute that get along with children great. Our son and our youngest dog are pretty much best friends. We live in a rural area with 2.5 acres that is perfect for children growing up at. We have plenty of space to grow our family and are so excited to see our children thrive as they grow up. We love trips to Disney and the beach but also love the things we can do around our area. We love going to the zoo and aquarium or heading out to the pool on a nice summer day. We take walks around the fairgrounds frequently and go out for ice cream a little too much. Pretty much anything outdoors we love doing. You can find Aiden reaching for cookies when we’re not looking or just running circles around the house. He can be shy at first but if you give him about 5 minutes he will talk your leg off. He loves playing with other kids and we can’t wait to see him with a sibling.

Both of us work for family which gives us the flexibility to be there for our kids whenever they need us. Brittany works as an accountant but is able to be home most days of the week. When she has to go into the office our son gets to come along with her. We have a whole area set up just for him and our future children. There’s even popsicles in the freezer for him. She loves that this gives her the ability to provide for our family but also be as close to a stay at home mom as you can get. Jared is the Service Manager at the same business. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read a little bit about us. We admire your strength and courage during this process and pray you feel at peace when making your decision. We are honored to be considered as adoptive parents to your child and hope you know how much of a blessing your child would be to us. We look forward to hearing from you and would love to hear more about you and your story. 

Jared and Brittany

We both went to college at Texas A&M University. Claire majored in mathematics and Jeffrey in Industrial Engineering. We both joined the Baptist Student Ministry our freshman year. In 2015 we were both Bible study leaders of different groups and slowly got to know each other over the year. We began dating and most of our dates consisted of studying, getting coffee and snacks, and taking breaks by driving around exploring our town. We got engaged October of our senior year (2017) while finishing school, applying to jobs, and student teaching. It was a wild year but God was oh so faithful in each moment. We graduated from college and three weeks later got married! We moved to McKinney on a whim – about 30 minutes from each set of parents – and fell in love with the city. We absolutely LOVE doing life together and getting to explore the DFW area!

A primary factor of who we are as a couple is quality time spent together! We find lots of joy in time spent together, or with community even in the mundane things. We are avid board game players, coffee shop visitors, and amateur food enthusiasts. Some of our favorite moments with friends and family have happened just on a couch in deep conversation or over a cup of coffee!

We have been so blessed to have friends who live close by and that we get to see often! They are our chosen family and who we get to do life with. Our community has comforted us and rejoiced with us and we hope to continue walking with them as we get older! We have found a lot of joy in prioritizing our community and growing it! They love Jesus and us so well!.

In 2023 we adopted our son, Eliezer, and are absolutely obsessed with parenthood. He is in full toddler mode which has been the sweetest season of our lives (even with the hard tantrum moments). We are so incredibly thankful for the way God has blessed us in our marriage and are very excited for the years to come. Parenting has definitely been our favorite adventure yet!!

Hi! We are Brie and Kevin. We first met each other in college and married soon after graduating. Kevin works in developing and maintaining safety programs in a science foundation while Brie works in accounting.

Brie has been called to adopt since very young.  We also tried to have children of our own but were unsuccessful, we lost a daughter at 16 days after birth, a son after 20 weeks early birth/miscarriage as well as two early miscarriages.  These events have caused us to go through with our adoption plans a bit earlier.  Our family is also made up of several adopted people and this is something we wish to continue out of other’s need as well as our love, Kevin’s mother, uncle and Brie’s aunt are all adopted.  You don’t need common blood to be family.  After considerable prayer, now also seems the right time to look into and start the adoptive process.

We live in a safe and comfortable suburban house with our very friendly corgis (dogs). Our neighborhood has many wonderful resources for a developing child to be able to thrive, including many parks, trails in the woods and along local beaches, libraries, schools, and museums within walking distance. As well as restaurants and grocery stores from a incredibly diverse range of cultures and ethnicities. We also have valuable resources including medical offices and hospitals in the immediate vacinity.

We like to spend our time with constructive hobbies, including cooking nutritious and delicious meals using food from our gardens. We also enjoy traveling to the coast and exploring areas in our state and neighboring ones. We have a love of enjoying games together, be it board games, video games, puzzles, or books.

Hello! We're Dave and Ashley!

We met in a college class when we were assigned to do a group project together. We began dating a few months later.

We've now been married over ten years and our life together continues to be an adventure. Dave finished his military career and is now an ICU nurse. Ashley is a junior high/high school teacher. We have two children, Audrey and Bryce, and love spending time together as a family.
