Dave and Reva
We want to thank you for considering us as you start to make your adoption plan. Our hearts go out to you as you are faced with this most important decision. It is through the courage of birthparents, like yourself, that couples who have struggled with infertility, like us, realize their dream of raising a family.
Doug and Margie
We are Doug, Margie and Andrew Lippert. While Doug and I have both spoken and written professionally throughout our careers, we sit here together today truly struggling for the right words to tell you how sincerely grateful we are to be considered to raise your child. We hope our genuine warmth and compassion are appropriately expressed as you read our letter
Diana and Paul
Hello, we are Diana and Paul. We met each other in graduate school at Notre Dame, and we have been married for 11 years. A few years ago, we decided to build our family through adoption after we discovered that we were unable to conceive. Through working with The Children's Home, we were blessed with our son Leo a couple years ago. We have received continued support from our family and friends, and have learned so much from Leo over these past few years. That support and our amazing experience with Leo has strengthened our commitment to adopt again to complete our family.

Bobby and Pam
Hi, we’re Pam and Bobby! We knew from the beginning of our relationship that we wanted kids and have always dreamed of having a large family! We are a fun-loving couple who want to build a family together through adoption. We found out very quickly that we are unable to conceive a child, but believe that everything happens for a reason and we knew immediately that adoption was the only choice for us. We have a large extended family that is extremely supportive of our decision to adopt and we all cannot wait to welcome another child into our family.

Hi! We are Lily and Karen and we want to thank you for considering adoption and learning a little bit about us by reading our profile. We have wanted to add children to our lives for over five years. We are incredibly excited about the prospect of adopting a baby and expanding the family we have built together! We can only imagine how difficult this process is for you, but whatever choice you make, we have great respect for you and your decision to create an adoption plan.
Matt and Denise
Hi! Thank you so much for considering an open adoption plan for your child and for your interest in getting to know us. We are Denise and Matt, and we are eager to tell you about ourselves, our lives, how much we long to be parents, and the promises we make to the child we adopt and to the child’s birthparents.
