Hello! Thank you for taking the time to look at our story and beginning to get to know us. We are grateful that you want to learn about us and our dream of becoming parents.

We have known each other for almost 20 years! We attended the same high school at different times, and knew each other well through mutual friends. We lost touch during Diane’s college years, but reconnected after running into one another at a friend’s birthday party. We communicated for a few months, getting to know each other again, and began dating in 2009. We moved into a small apartment where our love began to grow. A few years later, we were able to move into a house, right next door to Diane’s parents! This is where we still currently reside and cannot wait to create new memories here as parents.

In 2016, Jackie asked Diane’s only female cousin to help her pick out a ring. She proposed a few months later and we began planning our wedding for the spring of 2018. Our April wedding was chilly, but sunny, and we were so lucky to be surrounded by so many friends and family as we danced the night away! We decided soon thereafter to begin the next chapter of our story by starting a family, and we cannot wait to open our hearts and our home to a child.

Financial Support

Expectant mothers who choose to make an adoption plan may qualify for some level of financial assistance during their pregnancy. However, each person's situation and specific needs are different. Your adoption social worker can help you determine what level of assistance you qualify for and deserve. Many expectant mothers qualify for financial assistance to cover basic pregnancy and living expenses, including but not limited to - transportation reimbursement, utility assistance for phone, water, and electricity/gas, maternity clothing and supplements, etc.

FAQ’s about placing a baby for Adoption

I'm considering giving my baby up for adoption. How much does that cost?

It won't cost you anything. If you choose to place your baby for adoption, all of your medical and legal fees will be covered and you may be eligible for financial assistance with other pregnancy-related expenses.

I'm experiencing an unplanned pregnancy and don't know who the birth father is. Can I still place my baby for adoption?

Yes. Even if you don’t know the identity of the birth father, you can still choose to make an adoption plan. However, every adoption situation is different. The adoption social worker you’re assigned to will get to know you and your story first, and then guide you through the process accordingly.

When is the right time to talk with an adoption professional?

You can make an adoption plan at any point in your pregnancy, even after the baby has been born. But, it's important to start the process as early in your pregnancy as possible. Connecting with those resources will allow you to gain access to important medical services, including prenatal care, to help ensure a healthy pregnancy.

When I create an adoption plan, will I get to choose who is in the room with me during delivery?

One aspect of your adoption plan is the "Hospital Plan" an outline of how you'd like your hospital stay and delivery to go. You can craft this on your own or with the help of your adoption social worker. But everything is up to you. You’ll be able to choose who comes to the hospital with you, who is in the room with you during delivery, and how much time you’d like to spend with the baby before signing the final papers.

How much contact will I have with the adoptive family after I place my baby with them?

As part of your adoption plan, you'll determine whether or not you’d like to have an open or closed adoption or something in between. Open adoptions may include phone calls, messaging (via social media, email, or text), and/or periodic visits each year. Closed adoptions may include no contact at all or annual updates provided to the birth parent(s) by the adoptive family. Each post-adoption relationship is different and can vary based on what an expectant mother chooses in her adoption plan.

Social Media Connections

06/18/2021

We were honored to be featured on ParentFinder's social media pages this month! We decided to share their post on our own Facebook pages, and the results were amazing! So many family and friends had kind words and shared our information on their own pages. Even some friends that we hadn't heard from in a long time or were once childhood friends asked us questions and shared the links, sharing the hope of making a connection. We are hopeful that something like this could help bring a brave, selfless expectant mother into our lives that would be right for us to share this journey with. In the meantime, we are enjoying our summer BBQing with family or sitting on our porch!
