We are Blake and Steph! We are very happy to share our life with you. We have 4 children, 2 boys and 2 girls. We adopted our youngest son in 2019. We are high school sweethearts and have been married for 17 years. We knew we wanted to grow our family through adoption before we were married. Our home is Christ-centered surrounded by people who are loving and supportive. Having Christ as our foundation is very important to us. We know through Him all things are possible. Our kids are very involved in church and school activities and we love to spend our time supporting them. Steph is a school nurse at the same school the kids attend and Blake works in agronomy and farming. We have several other activities we enjoy doing as a family which include, golfing, fishing, playing games, and having bonfires. We also enjoy boating in the summer and trying new foods. We look forward to learning more about you!
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!
Hi, we are Austin and Hannah and we met the summer of 2019 in the college group at our church. I (Hannah) still remember walking to the patio of the building where Austin was grilling tacos (the location of our proposal a few years later). We both thought the other was cute but neither of us said anything at the time. We became friends and hung out in group settings throughout the summer. Following graduation from college I returned home to WA to stay and at the end of the summer he asked me out and we enjoyed our first date getting some tacos and going to a Mariner’s game! We introduced the topic of adoption early on since we both had a desire to grow our family through adoption. Austin's mom was adopted from Korea and Hannah saw adoption firsthand when her youth pastor adopted when she was younger. We both knew that we desired a partner who had the same passion for adoption.
We are each other’s missing piece, extremely different but alike in so many ways! We met through a dating app when Daniel gave it one last shot before deleting the app and coincidentally was Rochelle’s first match. The timing was meant to be! We hit it off immediately and started dating in early 2019. Daniel proposed in 2020 in Florida at Marco Island when we were walking along the beach. He had asked a kind stranger to take a picture of us on the beach but quietly asked her to record everything. After posing for the picture, Daniel got down on one knee. We were married a year later right after everything open up after Covid. It was a small intimate wedding on the beach in Key Largo, Florida. Rochelle’s Grandma was the flower girl and our pup was our ring bearer.
Getting married when we were older helped us start our relationship strong because we knew who we really were. Our life experiences helped shape us into adults who know to communicate effectively and appropriately. We are able to truly understand each other and tell each other what we need in our relationship. We are both hard workers and love to have fun and enjoy each other’s company.
We’re Cassie and Jesse. We’ve been married for 8 years, and we’re a team in every sense of the word. We believe in showing up for the people we love, in doing what we say we’ll do, and in living with kindness and integrity. We’re people of our word - and we appreciate a good handshake.
Our home is full of warmth, laughter, and a little bit of organized chaos (Cassie’s specialty). Jesse is the kind of guy who can fix just about anything and make you laugh while doing it. He’s steady, thoughtful, and has a quiet strength that makes people feel safe. Cassie is the heart of our home - she’s nurturing, creative, and makes sure our house feels like home.
We speak kid well. Whether it’s silly voices at bedtime, dance parties in the kitchen, or answering the millionth “why?” of the day, we’re all in. We know how to have fun, and we believe childhood should be full of wonder, safety, and love.
If you choose us, your child will grow up knowing where they came from and how deeply they were loved from the very beginning. We’re open to staying connected in whatever way feels right to you—whether that’s through letters, photos, or visits.
Both transplants to South Alabama, we met via Facebook in 2010, after mutual friends suggested getting to know one another, and hit it off immediately! We initially spent hours chatting via messenger until Mark conveniently misplaced his phone during one our conversations and asked Katy to call it–an easy way to get her phone number. Since that time, we have never gone longer than 48 hours without talking, and that was only because Katy was out of the country!
Though born in Tennessee, Mark spent his early years in Alabama before moving to Colorado in elementary school. As an only child, Mark quickly made friends with the neighborhood kids and kids from church–some of these relationships have spanned not only miles, but years! A childhood cancer survivor, Mark, is resilient and determined, qualities that serve him well in his position as a project manager and architect. Mark loves being outside, woodworking, anything sports related (especially the Atlanta Braves and his alma mater, Texas Tech), and making memories!
Born and raised in North Mississippi, Katy is the oldest of three; each of her siblings is the answer to her little girl prayers, and they are two of her best friends and biggest supporters. Married for almost 40 years, Katy’s parents instilled in her a love for God, the value of hard work, and the importance of family, all of which Katy, along with Mark, is working to teach to their own child. A teacher/librarian at a small private school, Katy enjoys reading, baking, crafting, watching girly movies, and traveling!
Our son, Jaxon, was born in the summer of 2018. He is an absolute joy, even in his most stubborn moments, and inspires us each day to be better and do better! Knox was born in the fall of 2023 and placed in our arms by his wonderful birth mother shortly after. The perfect addition to our growing family at just the right time, Knox is hands down Jaxon’s favorite person and the feeling is mutual! Our life can be a little crazy and a little messy, but we wouldn’t have it any other way because it is also absolutely amazing, and we cannot wait to share our life, our love, and our family with a new precious little one!
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.
Hello! We are Angela and Tommy and have two boys Wyatt (4) and Frederick (2) on our acreage in rural central Nebraska. We have two horses, two dogs, a lovable donkey and a flock of chickens. Angela is a physician and Tommy is a lecturer at the local university. We have been married 12 wonderful years and are so proud of the life we have built and hope to continue growing our family through adoption!
Our story begins in the heart of Nebraska when we met in high school at a Future Farmers of America (FFA) leadership event. That first spark quickly grew into something special and before long we were traveling to see each other every chance we got. We loved going fishing together, spending time with each other’s families, and just enjoying being together.
After we got married and graduated college in 2014, life took us down different paths for a while. Angela went to medical school, and Tommy supported her from afar while working in construction. Once Angela started her pathology residency in 2019, we were finally able to live together again in Kansas City.
In 2022, while Angela was in residency, we experienced a miscarriage and struggles with infertility before being blessed with our first son, Wyatt. Becoming parents for the first time was exciting, a little scary, and completely life-changing. Wyatt’s smile and energy quickly filled our lives with joy.
In 2023, we both found jobs back home in Nebraska and were happy to return to our roots, surrounded by our families and open spaces.
We were blessed again in 2024 with the arrival of our second son, Frederick. He is a bit more easygoing than his big brother, but his mischievous little grin keeps us smiling every day.
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.
