We are active, outdoorsy, faith-filled people. Our house is always open to friends and free of most technological distractions. We are uncomplicated, adventurous and joyful as we take on the challenges of this life together. We share a love for God and our Catholic faith, which is the foundation of our marriage. Another unique thing about us is that Ivana is an immigrant from Switzerland. A lot of our travels include visits with relatives in Europe, and sometimes we speak German to each other.
We hope this profile will give you an insight into who we are and what our life is like. We have longed to be parents for quite some time now and hope to give a good home and a vibrant upbringing to our adopted children.
We have know each other since the late 90's through mutual friends. We started dating in 2005, were engaged in 2007, and got married in 2008. We are active and enjoying the great outdoors. We especially enjoy getting out to do some fishing and atving when we get a chance.
We adopted our son in 2020 and have an open adoption with his birth family. This includes in person visits, video chats, and messaging back and forth with pictures/videos and updates.
Greg and I always enjoy our time together. We like to spend time outdoors, on a kayak or paddleboard, and are always up for a competitive driveway basketball game! We also like working in our yard. I plant flowers and watch them grow, and Greg keeps them watered. Together we make a great team! We love grabbing ice cream with our nieces, cheering on our favorite teams, and watching funny movies together. Christmas movies are in season all year! Whether we’re at home on game night or out sharing a pizza, we always have fun laughing together.
Our love story:
Greg and I met through my younger brother, Will. Will and Greg met shortly after Will graduated from college. Years later, Will bumped into Greg at the grocery store. He told Greg he should give me a call. Will had never set me up on a date before, so I knew this guy must be someone special! I agreed to go out with Greg, and we have been together ever since.
We dated for one year before becoming engaged. On a cold New Year’s Day, Greg and I went on a romantic walk along the riverfront in Nashville. We were on the beautiful pedestrian bridge overlooking the city when snow began to fall and music began to play. A man on an electric keyboard was playing Ed Sheeran’s song, “Thinking Out Loud”— a beautiful love song about growing old with your true love. I looked at Greg and he was down on one knee. He told me how much he loved me and asked me to marry him. I enthusiastically said, “Yes!” I complimented Greg for having the musician play the lovely music for the proposal, but Greg said he had not hired him. The musician just happened to be on the bridge performing the perfect soundtrack for our engagement! Every time we pass the pedestrian bridge, we remember the wonderful night we promised to belong to each other forever.
Our wedding was a dream come true! The fun began at our rehearsal dinner. Instead of a traditional dinner, we invited the wedding party to a baseball game. We enjoyed the fireworks display over the ballpark that night—it was as if everyone there was celebrating with us. Our wedding was held at the Nashville Symphony Center. The wedding was a family affair. All our siblings, their spouses, and their children were included in the wedding party. We had an amazing band and everyone danced all night! Our wedding was a joyous event and a true celebration of God’s promises.
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.

I became best friends with Jerad’s sister while I was in nursing school. She and I played on a kickball team with nursing school friends, along with Jerad and some of his friends. Jerad and I became friends, started dating, and quickly fell in love. Our relationship has always had a strong foundation based on faith and family. We still consider ourselves lucky to share the same values and opinions on the most important aspects of life: religion, prioritizing family and wanting children.
About a year after we began dating, Jerad cooked a steak dinner at his house for me. After dinner, we were going to watch a movie, but he proposed instead! We sat and talked for an hour before we called anyone which was special to us. We then called our family and close friends and met some friends out that night to celebrate. It was a fun, low key night—the way we like it! We had a large wedding in the church I grew up attending. All our family and friends were there to celebrate with us. It was a beautiful and perfect ceremony. Afterward, we had a reception with dinner and a band. It was one of the most fun nights we have had together. We felt so loved, and we talked to and celebrated with the people we loved and even had time to dance and enjoy the night ourselves
We are Monica and Peter and we are so grateful you've taken the time to glance into our lives. Many years ago, we were longing for children but struggling to get pregnant. After several rounds of fertility tests, we ultimately received a call from our doctor confirming we would not be able to get pregnant without fertility treatments. We were devastated at the time, felt peace about pursuing fertility treatments, but also felt strongly that the Lord was calling us to welcome a child into our home through adoption. We went the fertility treatment route first, and by the grace of God, we now have two young boys. We're crazy about our kids. Throughout all these years we have continued to feel the pull toward adoption, and now, here we are! We cannot wait to come alongside a birthmother and offer lifelong, unconditional love to her child with an open adoption if that's what she desires. We have been praying for this future adopted child for a long time, and now we pray we get to meet them soon.
Hello!
Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. It is truly an honor to introduce ourselves to you and for you to consider our family.
We are Dan and Rebekah and we met at a Christian camp that we both worked at in Wisconsin, Rebekah was immediately drawn to Dan's smile and fun personality. Dan was attracted to Rebekah's beauty and kindness. We were married in March of 2006 on a chilly, spring day surrounded by our famiy and friends.
Our journey to parenthood has not been easy. It has always been our desire to have children, and we prayed for this for some time. We knew that we wanted to adopt one day and when we weren't able to get pregnant, we decided to pursue adoption rather than infertility treatment. God has blessed us with both of our girls through the gift of adoption. Adoption has blessed our lives in more ways than we could have ever imagined! Not only did we gain two daughters, but we also feel like we added to our extended family with both of their bio families as well. We are so excited to be adding to our family through adoption once more!
If you choose us, know that you will always be an important part of your child's story, and your child will grow up knowing just how very loved they are by you. We would love for you to continue to be a part of their life, if that is something you would like. But we will fully respect your wishes for whatever level of openness that you are most comfortable with. You are in our thoughts and prayers, and we hope to meet you soon!
Hello! We are Danny and Ingrid. We value our relationship with God, family, and each other, and are excited to share our unconditional love with another child. We are an adventurous, fun-loving family from Wisconsin and look forward to growing our family. Although we have struggled for several years with infertility, long before that God had placed adoption on both of our hearts. Our first discussion about it started back when we were dating long distance. We have been married now for 10 years and have been blessed with our son, Steven, through adoption. Steven would make such a great big brother, and would love to have a sibling to play with.
We are incredibly grateful that you have taken the time to learn about our lives. It is truly an honor to introduce ourselves, and we hope this gives you a small glimpse into who we are.
We are Beau and Erin, and we were both born and raised in Washington State. We have been married for almost 20 years and have desired to grow our family for more than 15 of those years. We met in high school at a summer Bible camp in 1998. We started dating later that summer and quickly realized we were meant to be together. After six years of dating and once Erin completed her bachelor’s degree, Beau proposed, and we were married on August 13, 2005.
From the very beginning of our relationship, we have wanted children but faced challenges conceiving. Our doctor informed us that it was unlikely for us to get pregnant without medical intervention. At that time, we were devastated; however, we strongly felt that the Lord was calling us to welcome a child into our home through adoption, and we found peace in that decision.
Both of us come from medium-sized families and grew up with siblings. We understand how special sibling relationships can be, and we believe that family is one of the most important aspects of life. In addition to our immediate family, we have an extended community of friends who are also very important to us.
In our home, we emphasize love and respect for one another, striving to demonstrate a love similar to that of God. We have always hoped and prayed for children. Adoption has been on our hearts for a long time, and we are very excited about the prospect of adding a child to our loving family.
If you choose us, know that you will always be an important part of your child's story, and your child will grow up knowing just how very loved they are and we would love for you to continue to be a part of their life as well if that is something you would like.
