Hello & Thank You,  


We are Adam and Jaime, and we wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. We can only imagine how incredibly difficult this decision is, and we admire your courage and strength during this challenging time. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. 


We have been married for 11 years and together for 13 years. Adam and I knew early on in our relationship that we always wanted to be parents and start a family. Our journey to parenthood has been a challenge for us. Over the last ten years, we have had four failed IUI treatments, five failed IVF treatments, and two miscarriages. Through all our failed attempts to start a family, we continued to support each other and remain resilient in our desire to become parents. We believe that adoption is the path meant for us, and we are grateful for the opportunity to potentially welcome a child into our loving home. 


We are excited to begin the journey of parenthood with open hearts and open arms. Our home is filled with love, laughter, and a strong sense of family. We have many aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents who are eager to welcome a baby into our family. We promise to provide your child with every opportunity to thrive and grow, surrounded by unconditional love and support. We have been eagerly anticipating the opportunity to expand our family through adoption, and we are committed to providing a loving and supportive home for your child. 


Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering us. Your strength and selflessness are truly inspiring.


Thank you,


Adam & Jaime

Meet Adam

Meet Adam

Adam is one of the kindest, patient, goofy, hardworking, supportive, and fun people I know. He constantly makes me laugh with his great dance moves, singing, and witty comments. He’s always up for my adventures and ideas. With me being an extrovert, he really grounds me and understands exactly what I need to feel loved and supported. He was my rock during all our fertility treatments making sure I was ok. He is my number one cheerleader and biggest supporter.



Adam is an amazing cook and loves to bake. I am so lucky because he does most of the cooking in our house. He is always looking for new recipes to try and outdo himself, especially when it comes to dinner nights with my family.

 Adam, being an only child, found it quite an adjustment to join my large family, but he embraced it. He is also adored by all the children. They love to call him "Uncle Adam" or "Uncle Big Kitty" because he is like a big, soft teddy bear to them. He is constantly making them laugh and doing all the things they love. Our teenage niece and nephews always get a kick out of seeing him try to keep up with their trends. He and our brothers-in-laws enjoy competing to see who the favorite uncle is, and Adam wins, hands down! Seeing how great he is with children warms my heart, and I know he is going to be the best, most loving dad to our kids.

Meet Jaime

Meet Jaime

Jaime is one of the most thoughtful and caring people I know. She is always looking for ways to surprise people and goes out of her way to show her friends and family how much she loves them. I often joke (although mostly true) that the day is not finished until she has talked to all of her family.


Jaime has many close friends and loves staying connected to them. She often organizes girls' nights and trips for big birthdays. In addition to her friends, she has also formed strong bonds with their children. "Aunt" Jaime is a favorite among the kids, as they adore her and know she always makes time for them.


Jaime is actively involved in our community. Over the past three years, she has coached 3rd grade girls' basketball for a local club. Both the girls and their parents adore her.  She truly enjoys coaching and witnessing the progress the girls make throughout the year.


Jaime is an extrovert who loves having people around. When she lived in the Philippines, she struck up a conversation with a lady sitting at the next table, and 12 years later, they are still in touch. She takes me out of my comfort zone and has brought so much joy and love to my life. She is kind, patient, passionate, and nurturing, and I can see that in every interaction she has with our nieces, nephews, and godchildren. I know she is filled with love and will be a fantastic mother to our future child.

    • Our Story

    Adam and I were set up by mutual friends, even though we worked at the same company in different departments and hadn't met before. When Adam hosted a housewarming party, our friends were sure we needed to meet. We began talking gradually after the party, though Adam was initially quite shy. As an extrovert, I even told my friend, 'Adam never talks; I’m not sure if this will work!' Now, he never stops talking!


    We dated for about nine months before I moved to the Philippines for a year-long work assignment. During that time, our relationship really grew—we talked and FaceTimed every day, despite the 12-hour time difference. Adam visited me during that year, and we were able to take a beach vacation in the South China Sea. I also knew he was a keeper when he spent time with my family, attending holidays, birthdays, and family events while I was away. After I returned home, Adam proposed, and I happily said yes


    One year after getting engaged, we tied the knot with our family and friends by our side! Both of us have large extended families and many close friends, and we wanted everyone to be there with us. Our ten nieces and nephews were the flower children. It was a perfect day filled with dancing and surrounded by love. To end the night, we lit lanterns for good luck, health, prosperity, and fortune.!

    • We live in a spacious 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home in a newer subdivision. We have a great outdoor space where we enjoy entertaining friends and family. We eagerly anticipate turning one of our spare bedrooms into a nursery. Our neighborhood has many kids and families who are often outside playing and walking around. Many of our neighbors are friends with kids, and we're fortunate to have numerous walking trails and a park nearby.

    Our Community

    Our Community

    We live in a suburban area on the outskirts of a city in northeast Wisconsin. Many parks, playgrounds, pools, nature centers, beaches, and lakes are close to us. There are lots of things to do in the city, such as a big farmers market, music festivals, minor league baseball games, museums, and state parks.


    We love spending our summers at the lakes and beaches with our family. In the fall and winter, you will find us taking drives to check out all the trees changing colors and picking out pumpkins and apples, ice skating, and skiing. We can’t wait to share these activities with our child.

    Adam's Family

    My family consists of my parents and me. I have always been close to my parents, and they have been my biggest supporters my whole life. We love spending time at our family's land, enjoying nature, grilling, and working in the woods. My dad and I love to spend time outdoors hunting and fishing, while my mother enjoys cheering on all our local sports teams and keeping up with my large extended family.


    My parents are so excited to welcome their first grandchild to our family. I can already picture my dad teaching our future child how to fish and walking through the woods picking the raspberries that grow wild there. Then there’s my mom, sitting front row at all the sporting events, watching them have fun.

     I do have a large extended family. We have a yearly summer party at my aunt’s house where we talk, eat, and catch the biggest bluegills in their pond. Each year, we all get together in my hometown for our local city festival, where there are carnival games, rides, live music, and some of the best fireworks you could ask for. We also have many Christmas celebrations where we reminisce about growing up together and play games with the kids who are running all around. I can’t wait to share all of these experiences with our child.

    • My family is very close and important to me, and we spend a lot of time together. I am the fourth of five children in my family. I have three older sisters, one younger brother, seven nephews, three nieces, three brothers-in-law, and one sister-in-law. As Adam says, I talk to one or all of my siblings every day on the phone. My parents are hardworking and supportive. My family always finds reasons to be together and celebrate - birthdays, holidays, family dinners, or just hanging out. In the summer, we try to take a big family vacation together, spending time on the lake playing games, boating, tubing, skiing, and bonding. My oldest sister and her family live about 10 minutes from us, and we have family dinner with them every Sunday. We love attending our niece and nephews’ games and track meets. We are their biggest fans.


    My family is thrilled to welcome another child into our family. They can’t wait to spoil and love them. We will have many excited babysitters! I am so thankful for the love and support my family has shown us on our journey to become parents.

    We have seven nephews and three nieces who range in age from 21 to 13, with another niece or nephew on the way in February. Adam and I are known as the fun aunt and uncle who are always up-to-date on the latest trends and lingo! You can usually find us cheering on our nieces and nephews at their sporting events and other activities. Adam is the godfather of two of his friends' children, and I am the godmother to one of my nephews and my cousin's son. We're always available to help out when needed, whether it's for an open house at school, T-ball practice, or a ride to anywhere they need to go. Our nieces and nephews know that they can count on us for anything!

    • As a couple we do enjoy getting out and seeing the world. We love to explore new areas and experience the sites and food there is to offer. One of our most memorable was a trip to Austin, TX on a surprise vacation (We didn’t know where we were going till we opened the envelope at the airport). Jaime has a goal to see all the Major League Baseball stadiums, and we have planned many trips following the Brewers from New York to San Diego. For the last two years, we have traveled to the Grand Canyon and Florida on spring break with Jaime’s sister and her family.

    We are incredibly fortunate to have a wonderful group of friends who are very important to us. Our friend group consists of high school friends, work friends, and neighbors, many of who have children of their own whom we are also very close to. We go on vacations together, have summer family parties, visit baseball stadiums, and have dinner together. Our friends are incredibly supportive and they can't wait to spoil our baby.

    • Our families love traditions! We love celebrating birthdays with homemade chocolate cake and enjoying girl's weekend birthday getaways. Christmas is a special time for our extended family - we all gather at my grandma’s house, walk across the street for church, and then head back to her house to play games and enjoy delicious food! Every Thanksgiving, we host both families at our house, filling it with Packer fans watching football and playing games. My cousins love to travel for family reunions or weddings (they have dance moves for days). On the 4th of July, we gather at our aunt’s house by the lake. In Adam’s family, they have a big summer party with a corn roast. Additionally, we visit Adam’s hometown for a summer festival each year. Simply put, we love our traditions!

    Kerstin - Wisconsin

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 21, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , My name is Kerstin, and I'm so grateful to you for considering me and my son Malakai as a possible match for you and your child. A single person might not have been your first thought for your child, but I have just as much support and love to give as a couple would have - or even more! My life is rich with family, friends, and opportunities. I have a successful career that provides my family with the resources to explore the world and experience new things. I would love the opportunity to share these wonderful experiences with your child. Malakai (Kai for short) was adopted at birth and is three years old. We have an open relationship with his birth mom and often send her pictures and videos. I am open and committed to whatever type of communication you would like. I want you to know that your child will always know their adoption story and the love you have for them. I am happy to answer any questions you have so that you can make the best decision for you and your baby. As you'll see in this profile, I have a deep love and appreciation for all different cultures, and I love to learn about people and places all over the world. Travel has been a big part of my life, and I also appreciate and value diversity close to home. We live on a street with families of many different backgrounds, and the schools and businesses in our neighborhood also reflect that diversity. I love languages and have studied Spanish and Haitian Creole. The public elementary school closest to our home is a dual immersion bilingual school (Spanish and English). I would love for Malakai and any future child I might have to attend this school because I highly value bilingual language skills and the opportunity to build relationships with classmates and teachers of many different backgrounds. I am committed to honoring and valuing your child's cultural background and ensuring that it is an important part of their daily lives. I pray often for you and your journey. I thank God for you and your decision to consider adoption. I pray for God to give you peace and comfort. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and Malakai and see if we might be a good match for you and your child. With Love, Kerstin

    Hao & Amy – Texas

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 19, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , First off, let's introduce ourselves. Our names are Amy, Hao, and our not so little man James Paul. We want you to know how grateful we are to you for looking at our book. Our goal is for you to get to know who we are in an honest and real way. Adoption has a complex variety of feelings for all parties involved, especially for you. We can't begin to understand the emotional and overwhelming circumstances you have had to face in making these difficult decisions. We want you to know we support you and think that what you are doing is selfless and generous beyond comprehension. From an early age, I knew carrying a child to full term would be highly unlikely. So, when we met, having children was a part of our early conversations. We always wanted a family and knew adoption was going to be how we would become parents. This led us to adopt our beautiful and sweet son, James. We have so much more love to share with another child, and James is waiting with open arms and a welcoming smile. Our upbringing has significantly shaped who we are today, including our parenting style and how we plan for our future. Both of our parents are still married, and observing their relationship through both happy and challenging times has taught us the importance of commitment in maintaining a long-lasting marriage. Our family includes no shortage of caring aunts, fun uncles, and many young cousins to grow up with. One thing you can be certain of is DOTING GRANDPARENTS!! We are blessed that we can go to anyone in our family for guidance, advice, and support. You could not ask for a more dedicated crew of family members. We promise to you that we will honor you in the way you deserve. We will share with you the progress of your wonderful and cherished child's life. You'll be part of their life story from their earliest days to the questions that arise with growing curiosity. Your role will always be respected, valued, and cherished. We hope that our book gives you insight into who we are as people and as a family. Our very different strengths will lead to us raising well-rounded children. Together, we will teach them the importance of acceptance and kindness to those around them while still allowing them to be independent and able to stand up for themselves. Hao and I share the greatest hope of raising our children and providing them with safety and security, all with an embarrassing amount of love and affection. Thank you for considering us; we could not do it without you. Sincerely, Hao & Amy

    Mike & Tiffany – Texas

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 18, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , First, we want to thank you so much for considering us to be the parents of your child and for taking the time to learn a little about our lives! We can't imagine what a difficult time this must be for you, though we don't know what you are feeling. However, we do know that we admire your courage and strength! We are Mike and Tiffany, a fun loving couple from Texas who have been together 10 years and married almost 9! We spent many years trying to conceive a baby on our own, and with no luck, we didn’t want to wait to grow our family any longer. We chose adoption rather than going through IVF and were blessed with our first son in 2022. The experience we have had with his adoption has been so wonderful, and we can’t wait to give him a brother or sister. We have always wanted a big family, as both of ours are relatively small, and we are so grateful for this adoption opportunity because, without it, we wouldn’t be able to have that. Tiffany is a stay-at-home mom currently and will continue to do so. She loves being able to be so involved with raising our children and growing a special bond from the beginning. Also, her parents and grandparents live next door to us, so they will always be surrounded by love and family. We promise to provide your child with a safe, loving home with fun adventures and a wonderful education. We will always be honest with them about where they came from, how much you love them, and how that love brought them to us! We will keep you and your child in our prayers, and no matter your decision, we wish you the best on this emotional journey. Love, Mike & Tiffany

    Andrew & Julie - Iowa

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 14, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , Hello, and thank you for taking the time to consider us as adoptive parents for your baby. We are so excited to be adopting and bringing a child into our family! We can’t begin to understand the weight of this choice and want you to know that your child's well-being is our top priority. Please understand that we wish you and your child all the best no matter what you choose. We hope this book gives you a glimpse of our family. We are Andrew and Julie. We have been together for eight years and married for five. After five years of infertility struggles, multiple fertility clinic visits, and miscarriages, we are ready to give our unconditional love to a child and expand our family through the miracle of adoption! Education, love, and respect are the core values we hold dear. We will encourage your child to explore their passions, embrace their heritage, and pursue their dreams. Our home will be a place of unconditional love, where open communication and understanding are paramount. We are prepared to become parents to a precious child and can’t wait to share our love of family with them. Many family members and friends are excitedly waiting to welcome a new baby to cherish. We want you to feel welcome and hope to get to join our families together for all the love. Your child will have the support of a large, connected family. Thank you for taking the time to read through our book, your consideration means the world to us. We wish you strength and courage during this journey. Sincerely, Andrew & Julie

    Spencer & Amanda - Wisconsin

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 13, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , Just saying thank you isn't enough for us to express our gratitude for considering us to be adoptive parents. We cannot begin to understand how difficult this decision is and that it is not taken lightly. No matter your decision, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are Amanda and Spencer. We have been together over ten years and have been married for three. From the very beginning of our relationship, we talked about starting a family, but God had different plans for us. Unfortunately, Amanda has faced health challenges that have led to infertility, which won't allow us to have our own biological children. Adoption has touched both our lives in meaningful ways. Spencer's mother was adopted, and she is ecstatic that we are pursuing this path. In addition, Spencer has two adopted cousins, and I have one as well. Both of our families are loving and supportive of our decision, and we are all ready to share unconditional love with a child. Since we both have relatives who were adopted, we believe it is important for your child to understand their adoption story from the very beginning. We look forward to sharing with your child just how special they and their birth family are to us. The relationship between a child and their birth family is significant, and we strongly support an open adoption. There is no such thing as too many people to love and support a child. Raised in the Catholic faith, we plan to instill the same values in our future child. We cherish faith, family, community, friendships, and love, and we will teach the importance of hard work and the achievements it can bring. With both our families and friends nearby, your child will be surrounded by a loving network of support. Thank you for the time to read our story and consider us as potential adoptive parents. We wish you peace on this journey and the very best for you and your child. Sincerely, Spencer & Amanda

    Will & Lorena - Texas

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 11, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , We are beyond grateful for you considering us as prospective parents. Please know that what is best for you and the baby is the most important thing throughout this process. We can only imagine the difficulties that come with this decision, but please know that your child will be loved without qualification. We are so excited to begin our adoption journey and bring a child into our family. We are Will & Lorena, and we have been together for almost 7 years. Our path to adoption starts with Will being adopted himself at birth and from a young age, knowing that this was always going to be a part of his family plan. As we began to discuss having a family, Lorena was concerned about getting pregnant due to her infertility diagnosis, so turning to adoption was an easy call for us to start our family. The values that are most important to our household are love, kindness, and respect. Ensuring that, above all else, people are treated equally will be core to the teachings we share with our child. We want to encourage them to be curious and welcome diversity in all forms and to do so with a smile. Both of us love to laugh, and we want our child’s life to be filled with those unforgettable moments. To us, adoption is a beautiful journey shared by all parties involved. We are lucky to have extremely supportive friends and family to guide and join us on this journey. With Will’s own experience, including his relationship with his birth mother, we know we are lucky to have tremendous examples to mentor us along our own path as we welcome a child into our family. Should you choose us to welcome your child into our family, they will be unconditionally surrounded by love and warmth. We appreciate you taking this time to consider us as prospective parents, and should you choose us, we are prepared to listen to, support, and honor your wishes throughout this process. Sincerely, Will & Lorena

    Michael & Christi – Texas

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 10, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about us. While we cannot say we understand the emotions, decisions, and journey you are facing, we recognize and honor the enormous gift you are sharing with a family like ours. We are Christi and Michael. We have been together for 6 years and married for 4. When we first started dating, I shared with Michael that biological children might not be a possibility for me due to the reproductive issues I had experienced. When Michael stated without hesitation that he was open to adoption, I knew he was someone special. After trying the recommended fertility treatments to ensure we were never left wondering, “What if?” we started our adoption journey feeling relieved and confident this was the path meant for us. Part of what drew us to each other was how we viewed our families and our desires to have a family of our own. Both of our lives have been touched by adoption in various ways. Therefore, we knew we were ready to start our adoption journey. In 2023, we welcomed our daughter, Isabel (Izzy), into our lives through adoption. Izzy has brought so much joy, laughter, love, and fun to our lives ever since. We are so grateful to have been chosen as Izzy’s adoptive parents and are blessed to guide her on this journey of life. We believe it is important for your child to understand their adoption story from the beginning and look forward to letting them know how truly special they and their birth family are to us. We welcome an open adoption as we value the relationship between a child and their birth family. Children can never have too many people who love and support them. We have established a small group of friends who have young, adopted children and enjoy meeting them throughout the year. We believe it will be valuable for our children to have the opportunity to be around other adopted children throughout their lives. There are adoptees in that group, and we talk openly with them about their experience as adoptees to help us gain insight into their perspective. With a large family nearby, your child will be loved and surrounded by many family members, friends, and a faith community. In addition to providing your child with unconditional love, we hope to instill the qualities of honesty, integrity, faith, kindness, the value of family, and perseverance. Both of us come from hard working families where we each learned to be independent, responsible, and self-sufficient, knowing we always had our families supporting us. We appreciate your time and continue to pray for you and the decisions that lie ahead. You are a beautiful person, and you are giving an invaluable gift. We hope you feel the love and peace you deserve. Sincerely, Michael & Christi

    Hello & Thank You , There's no way for us to begin understanding your life, struggles, and victories. Hopefully, we can play a part in one another's stories- sharing and growing through all the ups and downs that this world has to offer. Know that if chosen, we will love your child unconditionally and fiercely protect and shelter them all the day of our lives. This whole process feels a little surreal, and finding the perfect words to say them is a challenge. Thank you, though, for even looking at this book and taking a peek into our lives. We want to reassure you that we have the utmost respect and admiration for you, regardless of the path you choose. We are confident that whomever you choose to raise your baby will be the perfect fit! Regardless of where each of our lives goes, we want you to know you are continuously in our hearts and minds. After struggling with infertility and going through several fertility treatments, we made the decision not to pursue IVF. We felt like God was pulling on our hearts to bring someone into our lives in a different way. After much prayer and conversation, we decided adoption was the clear path, and we're excited to grow our family this way. Following the completion of our home study and application with Adoption Angels, we were in disbelief one morning when Alexandra took a pregnancy test, and it was positive. However, during our daily evening walk that day, we both knew that we wholeheartedly wanted to continue to pursue adoption. Alexandra comes from a large family where many of her brothers and sisters are close in age, her brother Russ being a mere 18 months apart from her. Growing up so close in age, we were less siblings and more partners and crime- each other’s best confidants and adventure buddies as we traveled the world with the military. The loyalty, utter love, and connection we feel toward each other are hard to explain, and to this day, my siblings and my brother's wife are my best friends. We would be over the moon excited to raise children who would experience this bond and feel the same love and closeness. It’s becoming clearer to us every day that this is the path God has been leading us on all along. Know that no matter how a child comes into our family, we plan to love them exactly as we love our son, Adrian- with every fiber of our being! Thank you again so much for reading our story!

    Hello & Thank You , Our names are Brandon and Melody, and we are so glad to meet you! We can’t fully understand the weight of the decision you’re facing in making an adoption plan, but we deeply admire your courage and strength. What you are considering would bring immense joy to a family who has likely spent years longing for a child to love. Please know we are praying for you and your child, and that God will grant you peace in whatever decision you make. Through this letter and album, we’d like to share a bit about ourselves and why we’ve chosen adoption. We met and married in southern California and have been married for 12 years. Since moving to Texas, we’ve built a loving home and community here. We believe God called us to be parents, and while our path to parenthood has been unexpected, adoption has always been on our hearts. Melody was adopted at birth and understands the incredible blessings of adoption firsthand. After five years, many tests, and three failed IUI attempts, we began pursuing adoption. In December 2023, we were blessed to adopt our son, Aiden, and our lives have been forever changed. Now, we hope to adopt again to share our love with another child and allow Aiden to grow up with a sibling. If chosen to be your child’s adoptive parents, we promise to raise them in a loving Christian home, teaching Biblical principles and morals. We’ll provide opportunities for them to grow, learn, thrive, and develop a deep sense of love, respect, and responsibility, all while offering unconditional love and support. Additionally, Melody can uniquely answer any questions your child may have about their adoption as they grow. We are surrounded by a large, loving network of family, friends, and a supportive church community who will joyfully welcome your child into our lives. Melody’s experience as an adopted child makes her especially sensitive to the importance of understanding one’s roots. If chosen, we hope to develop an ongoing relationship with you and walk alongside you in this journey. For years, we prayed for a child to join our family, and God’s answer came when Aiden came into our lives. We are excited to see what He has planned next for our family’s growth. Thank you for taking the time to consider us as parents. Please know we are praying for you, your child, and your decision, whatever it may be. Sincerely,  Brandon & Melody
