Meet our Families Awaiting an Infant Placement

Listed below are a few of our approved families who are hoping to adopt. Prospective birthparents are encouraged to explore and consider the benefits of Open Adoption. Open Adoption allows you the opportunity to maintain a connection and relationship with your child and the adoptive family. With open adoption, you are able to choose and meet the adoptive family and the level of openness that you might want to have with them. Your counselor will discuss the benefits of open adoption with you and provide support through the process of choosing and/or meeting the adoptive family.

Please note that not all of our families may be listed here. If you would like more information on any of these or other families, please call our toll-free hotline, available 24 hours, 7 days a week at 1.888.325.6621.

Sharon_Paul We’re Sharon and Paul, a loving couple with one child who longs to adopt a baby to complete our family. We’ve been married 23 years, having met at church as college students. Our household is overflowing with Legos and laughter, pets and art projects, bookcases, stuffed animals – and lots of love. Our son, Carl, was born on Labor Day in 2000. He’s just graduated from third grade and is eager to become a big brother. We appreciate the great gift and sacrifice you are making, and we are grateful for the chance to share our lives with our children. We wish you all the best as you choose the best plan for you and your baby.
Frank_LeAnne.doc Hi. We are Frank, LeAnne, and Frankie from Southern New Jersey.  We admire the strength, courage, and love it takes to proceed with an adoption plan.  We are professional people who work for the rights of others.  Our son, Frankie, is a second grader.  He is a very adventurous, loving, and inquisitive child.  He is looking forward to being a big brother.  We enjoy going to aquariums, museums, car races, and the beach as a family.  We participate in our community and church.  We are blessed with an extended family who has given us their advice, support, and love.  We appreciate the decision you are making and will always let your child know the selfless love that you have for him/her.  You will always be respected and honored as a part of our lives.  We will commit to the level of openness that is comfortable to you.  We are excited for the opportunity for a second child to be added to our family.  We hope that your decision gives you peace.

Hi, we are Chuck and MaryEllen from South Jersey.  We have been married for 7 years, together for 11, and have one daughter who is 4 years old.  As a family, we enjoy going to the park, vacationing, going to the beach and bike riding.  We have a large, close-knit extended family and often get together for dinners, holidays and other family oriented events.  We value family, education, the arts, culture and maintaining physical and emotional wellness.  We understand that you are making a very important and difficult decision.  We know that we would provide a wonderful, safe, loving environment for another child, just as we do for our daughter.  We value openness and feel that maintaining some level of openness would be important.  We are open to any questions or concerns that you may have. 
Hello, we are Ty and Cindy and have been married for twelve years.  There is a sweetness to our life and love for each other.  Ty is quiet, serious, and hard working.  He is an engineer who likes to build things, go sailing and ride bikes.  Cindy is kind and gentle and likes the library, flea markets and taking walks.  Cindy, a social worker who helped children, looks forward to being a stay at home mom.  She does Reiki, a healing therapy, with cancer and surgical patients as a hospital volunteer.   We lived in Germany for Ty’s job and love to travel and learn languages. We have wonderful memories of happy times and holidays with our parents and grandparents in Colorado and Texas and long to build a family together. We would like an open adoption relationship with you and your family.  We have a strong faith and believe that there is a divine plan at work.  We hope you will be led to the adoptive parents you are looking for.  We wish you peace.
