Tyler is a part-time travel agent and a full-time dad; Jarron is family physician who changed his schedule to work only 4 days per week so he could spend more time at home with his family. And the cutest little 4yo is Henry, who loves to swim and adores all animals! Read on to learn more about them:

"We have been together since 2012 after meeting online and married in 2017. Through the blessing of adoption, we welcomed Henry into our lives in 2022. His big eyes, beautiful smile, and laugh are infectious. Jarron is a doctor and cares passionately about his work. Tyler is an amazing spouse, father, and friend who works from home as a travel agent. As a family, we enjoy movie nights, traveling and camping, and spending time with our extended family and friends. As we navigate adoption again, we hope you understand and appreciate that, as a same s*x couple, you will always be your child’s only mother. This connection between you two can’t be broken, and is something we will honor as a family."

Are you ready to enjoy this sunny weekend, starting with this beautiful ?! Ben and Katie are our spotlight family this week week with their sunny smiles. They are an amazing family that brings joy to everyone around them. Katie has the kindest heart and brightest smile, while Ben is hardworking and playful. Their sweet little ones, Ilse and Jude, are little bundles of energy who love to laugh. They can't wait to add another sweet baby to their family. Read on to hear more about their adorable family and how they met:

"Ben’s brother and Katie’s good friend (who were dating at the time and are now married) introduced us. The four of us would get together to play cards. Soon, Katie was invited to join them in Michigan for Thanksgiving. It was there on a cold, snowy hike that Ben asked Katie out. On our first date, we went for a seven-mile hike. A year later, we got married. Our lives have only gotten better as each child has joined our family! Ilse is sweet and spunky and loves life and everything she does! Her favorite part of the day is when her Papa comes home from work and plays, tickles, and reads books with her in the living room. Jude is always on the move, and enjoys all things that move — trucks, cars, balls, our cat Otis. He thinks his sister is the funniest thing and she gets the best belly laughs out of him."

Woohoo, it's ! We are excited to tell you more about the sweetest, most loving couple this week — Hannah & Heather and their beautiful little girl, Lainey. Lainey is excited to become a big sister. Watch their video to hear it in her own words and read on to find out more about their adoption journey:

"Adoption feels like the path we were meant to take. We want to grow our family with intention, compassion, and purpose, providing a home where a child feels safe, seen, and loved and where their story matters.

For our family, adoption has already been life-changing. Hannah adopted Lainey through the Department of Child Services when she was 15 months old, an experience that shaped her heart and taught the true meaning of family. For Heather, becoming a step-parent meant intentionally choosing Lainey, showing up with love, patience, and unwavering commitment. Together, we are building a family grounded in choice, presence, and unconditional love.

Now, as a same-s*x couple beginning our adoption journey together, we carry forward the lessons: the importance of resilience, empathy, and unconditional love. That experience continues to guide our hearts as we hope to welcome another child into our family. We can’t wait to share our weekly movie night tradition with a child — picking a movie together, making popcorn, and laughing as a family. It will be a comforting, joyful ritual where they always feel loved and included."

Yay, it's ! This week, we're featuring Theresia and Kris. They have adoption on both sides of their family and are excited to welcome a baby into their family through the love of adoption as well. Kris was adopted, Theresia’s mom was adopted, her dad was adopted, her sibling was adopted, his cousin was adopted, and their niece was adopted. If you're looking for a family who understands that love makes a family, look no further! Read on for more details about this sweet couple:

"In our attempts to grow our family, we met with an infertility specialist. Unfortunately, we found out early on that Theresia is unable to bear children of their own, due to an abnormal uterus. While it doesn’t pose any health risks, it comes with difficulty in both conception and carrying a healthy, full-term pregnancy.

Kris’s dad isn’t his biological father, but he adopted him at a young age and took him as his own to raise. Even after his parents divorced, Kris chose to live full-time with his dad and sister from the time he was in middle school until he left for the Marine Corp. Kris also has an aunt and uncle who adopted their son 18 years ago. Theresia’s mother was adopted in Germany at the age of 2 by a German woman and an American soldier. When Theresia’s brother got married, he legally adopted her young daughter. In our family, we truly feel that love makes a family, not just the biological family you’re born into."

A child born to another woman calls me mom.
The magnitude of that tragedy and the depth of that privilege are not lost on me.
~Jody Landers~

05/09/2026

The Quiet Strength:

She didn't shout her love from the rooftops
— she showed it in sacrifice.

She didn't fight to be seen
— she chose to be strong in silence.

No headlines will tell her story,
but a child's life is living proof of her courage.

She carried life and laid down her comfort.
She held onto hope when the world offered fear.

She made a decision that broke her heart
— so another heart could keep beating.

This is not weakness.
This is not abandonment.
This is not erasure.

This is the quiet strength of a birth mother.
The kind of strength that chooses love
when no one else sees the cost.

It's our favorite day of the week again... !!! We love Tyler, Kelsey, and their sweet little guy, Gabriel! They are fun, silly, and can't wait to add another little one to all of the excitement. Gabriel is already excited to teach a new baby everything he knows, including his cool dance moves. Read on to find out more about Kelsey:

"Kelsey and I talk about our work every day on our drives home. Kelsey works on the burn unit of her hospital, and I hear how she goes above and beyond for her patients, who are experiencing the worst times of their lives. But it doesn’t stop with just her patients. She does the most for patients’ families, bringing comfort to them in difficult times. That quality is what I love most about Kelsey; she is so caring for others. She spends her entire day caring for others and putting others before herself, then comes home and takes care of me, Gabriel, and our zoo of animals. A couple summers ago, there were 6 different couples/families in our community that were moving. Kelsey’s first thought was to offer to help them, and we did. She did not hesitate or think twice about it, and that is just who she is. She wants to help others and be the best friend she can be. The same can be said when we have family gatherings. When the family gets together, Kelsey always wants to bring a dish. I believe it’s just her naturally showing that she loves and cares for the family. Her care for others has only become more evident and has seamlessly transitioned to her role as the greatest mama for Gabriel. Not only does she care for and nurture him with the greatest love I have ever seen, but she cares so much about his relationship with his birth family. She is my best friend and better half, and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner to go through life with."

Who's excited for the weekend and ?! We're excited to introduce you to Elisa and Travis as our featured family. They are a sweet couple who loves the outdoors and has their own farm. They have been growing fruits and veggies, but now they're praying to grow their family. Read on to learn more about them:

"Hi! Travis and Elisa here. We’ve been married for 4 years and have been together for 5 ½ years. Travis is a demand manager who works remotely doing sales forecasting and IT development. Elisa is a teacher educator who works in both college and school settings leading workshops, coaching teachers, and writing curriculum. We live on a 3 acre farm and grow veggies, fruit, and flowers. Something unique about our family is that both of us have connections to adoption. Travis was transracially adopted as an infant, which will give him insight as a parent to support an adopted child. Elisa has cousins and nephews who were adopted, so she and her extended family are also familiar with adoption experiences.

Together, we enjoy gardening, hiking, traveling, and beach time at the lake. In the winter, we love to go on snowy walks, sit by the fireplace, play board games, and soak in the hot tub. We also do lots of cooking, baking, and canning projects with the produce from our farm. In the summer, we sell produce at a nearby farmer’s market. We also love to host family and friends for cookouts over our backyard campfire. "

Happy ! You'd be hard-pressed to find a sweeter, funnier, more loving couple than Skyler & Matty. They are lovers of life who enjoy taking care of others, whether they have 2 legs or 4! Read on to learn more about them:

"Hello! We are Matty and Skyler and are so happy to share a bit about our little family with you. We first met on Valentine’s Day 2020 and have been together ever since. The foundation of our relationship is love, respect, and honesty… plus a whole lot of fun! We love playing little pranks on each other and keeping our relationship lighthearted. That is really important because as jobs, we both work as registered nurses. Seeing one another be a caregiver for strangers in a really scary time of their lives really bonded us as a couple.

We spent the first few years together sharing adventures with each other (and often our family/friends). Some of our favorite destinations are the beach (ANY beach), the mountains, and Disney World—because we believe in “Happily Ever Afters.” We also have some amazing memories at Disney. That said, some of our favorite days are lazy days together in our cozy home relaxing, watching a movie, or cooking fun meals. We built our house a few years ago and have enjoyed making it a home for our family. We LOVE animals. We have two doggos (Rocco and Walter), and two kitties (Cinder and Ella… see what we did there?)

One really unique fact about us is that we both have adoption within our families already!"
