Adoption Success Stories

Jeffrey and Cynthia

Thank you for your love and selflessness in enabling us to grow our family. It is because of your courage that we can realize our dreams of expanding our family and sharing our loving home with another child.

Patrick and Jennifer

Our names are Patrick and Jen and we are so excited for the opportunity to grow our family. Our only child Katie, turning three this summer, is looking forward to being a big sister. After many years of trying to expand our family, we have accepted that God wishes for us to adopt and we will be grateful for the opportunity to love and care for another little one.

Dan and Mary

We are Dan and Mary, and we are thrilled that you are reading this letter! First, we want to tell you that we are so grateful for and amazed by the courageous choice that you are making. Mary was adopted as an infant, and she has never forgotten the loving and courageous decision that made her wonderful life possible!

Anthony and Gleyce

We want to take this opportunity to thank you for the decision you are making. We have dreamed so long of having someone like you bless our lives. Our names Anthony and Gleyce and we are about to embark on the single most amazing journey of our lives. Our hope is to assure you of the love and guidance we will give your child. There is nothing more important to us than making the safest and happiest home for our family. We cannot express in mere words how deeply these emotions run.

Conrad and Karen

We truly respect and appreciate birth parents and the decision(s) they face, and can assure you that we will do everything to love, safeguard, and nurture your baby. We know the following pages offer an overwhelming selection of adoptive parents and we truly appreciate you including us in this process. We cherish every day as parents and are so thankful to have our son Kyle, who was adopted through ANLC. Kyle was born in 2003 and the memory of his birth is the most precious and unforgettable moment we have shared together. We have always told Kyle that he was adopted and that a “Very strong and caring woman who loved him very much carried him in her belly for us”. We explained that “Mommy’s belly is broken, so we are waiting for another wonderful woman to carry a baby for us again”. His response to us was “Mom, you can see my doctor and he can fix your belly so you can make a baby for me!” The pure innocence in his remark brought tears to our eyes.

Jose and Stephanie

Each person travels a path throughout their lives. Ours has brought us to you, and we cannot possibly express our gratitude to you for the decision you have made to travel down the path of adoption. Your path must be quite difficult at times but we believe it is filled with courage and generosity. Our path has been long and painful with miscarriages and unsuccessful fertility treatments, but we are now thrilled to be on a different journey which will bring the joy of a baby into our home.

Michael and Pam

We don’t really know how to begin this letter. How do you express your feelings about the deepest desire in your life that we cannot possibly fulfill ourselves? What can we say to such a selfless woman who can make our most important dream come true? Thank you for choosing adoption! Thank you for reading our profile! The unselfishness of your decision and our gratefulness can’t be put into words. The reality of infertility is a long hard road to travel. We both feel that it is God who has brought us to the crossroad of adoption. God brings people together for reasons of his own, perhaps to make miracles happen. We hope and pray that through adoption and a remarkable person like yourself our dream will finally come true and we will have a child of our own to love forever!

James and Robin

Thirty years ago a young eighteen-year-old woman had dreams of college and a bright future and then she discovered that she was pregnant. She had a very important decision to make not only for herself but also for her unborn child. She did the most admirable thing that she could do; she lovingly placed me with a wonderful family. I understand what it is like to be adopted and all of the questions and emotions that an adopted child may have.

Christopher and Lory

We are an active, fun-loving family and try something fun or different every weekend. We go to all sports games, and enjoy anything involving animals, concerts, movies, the beach, surfing and traveling, especially to our favorite destination which is Hawaii.

Herbert and Charlene

We can’t begin to understand what you must be feeling as you read this letter. You have made a very courageous and loving decision to place your child for adoption. This is obviously not an easy decision, and we know that you have been through an agonizing period wrestling with what is best. We are so grateful that you have chosen to give your child life.

Dzung and Deborah

Becoming parents is a step that we have been looking forward to since we found each other. We met in graduate school, and knew after only a short time of being together that this was the perfect fit. Dzung grew up in Pennsylvania as one of 10 kids – an amazing family that has grown to include spouses and 13 nieces and nephews. We cannot wait to introduce our children to this group of cousins! Deb grew up in southern California with a smaller immediate family, but with an extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins that is very close knit. After finishing our degrees, we made our home in beautiful sunny California, which afforded both job opportunities and the ability to be very close to Deb’s family. Everyone in our family is so excited to welcome our future children and surround them with love and support, regardless of how they come to be with us.

Troy and Shannon

Families are not always built by biology but by love…and we have more love in our hearts than ever.

Michael and Jana

We would love to adopt and make your baby´s life as fulfilling as ours. When you look back on this experience, it is our hope that you´ll be comforted and find peace in knowing that you let us help make your dreams for your child come true. We can´t imagine your circumstances or what life experiences have brought you to read this letter. You´re very brave to adopt your baby and we admire your strength and commitment to do the right thing.

Bryan and Debra

I can imagine that every letter you read starts with “I can’t imagine what you are going through…” but to be honest, I know I really can’t. I hope you are able to take this opportunity to enable someone else’s dream. Our dream. I can only imagine how hard that will be for you, but I do know how hard it is on the other side and this gift you may give is precious and amazing. I pray you will grow from this experience and find your own love, laughter and bliss. I will cherish each of these moments in the baby we share in spirit together.

Pat and Cindy

Overwhelming respect and gratefulness are probably the best words to describe how we feel about you. First, for making the decision to give your child life, and second, for considering adoption. Please know that if you entrust us to raise your child, we will be nurturing, understanding parents that will bring to use all of our resources, and encourage them to achieve whatever their heart desires. They will grow up in a secure and stable home, knowing that we love them unconditionally. They will also know how much you love them, and will be told from the very beginning how they came to be our precious child. We believe that the opportunity to raise a child is a blessing, and you are in the unique position to give some lucky family the greatest blessing possible… a child… the ultimate gift of hope.
