Thank You. Our hearts go out to you. It must be an incredibly difficult decision for an expectant mother to consider adoption and entrust her child to an adoptive family. We can’t imagine the range of emotions you must be feeling right now, and we hope you’re giving yourself a lot of grace and patience as you walk this journey. We want to honor you and your decision by providing a lifelong loving, nurturing home for your baby, and a family that everyone deserves. Thank you for considering us.- Nick & Megan

We met through mutual friends in the spring of our senior year. Those friends happened to be on a class trip during spring break and were surprised to find us together when they returned! We went to prom and continued dating throughout the summer, although we were about to start at different schools in the fall. Despite the three-hour drive, we decided our relationship was special and was worth taking a shot at long distance.

The next four years were difficult at times, but we were able to grow as individuals while strengthening our relationship. Out of necessity, this is where we truly learned how to communicate and developed a deep-rooted trust in each other.

Nick proposed less than two years after graduation and the rest is history.

We continue to prioritize spending quality time together at home or a local restaurant, discussing anything from our unlikely affinity for fantasy series to local sports or planning our next road trip (always with Ellie sprinkled throughout).

Through our 10 years of marriage and 16 years as a couple, we’ve faced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows together. After some early miscarriages, we got pregnant with our daughter Ellie late in 2018. However, Ellie couldn’t wait to join our family and arrived at 29 weeks! After a thankfully uneventful 62 day NICU stay, we were able to bring Ellie home.With Ellie being a preemie, we made the decision to limit her exposure, mostly by staying ‘locked down and limiting guests to a few at a time. We look back and recognize that we made some sacrifices during that first year, but it didn’t feel that way to us. We truly enjoyed the extra time spent as a family.We like to think that the choices we made then have led to her being the thriving kindergartner that she is today!We knew we wanted to grow our family, but we wanted to explore why Ellie may have come early and have support in place in case this happened again. We went into our second pregnancy feeling like we knew what to expect.Unfortunately, our pregnancy with our second daughter, Abby, was not smooth. Megan’s water unexpectedly broke at 27 weeks and we spent 10 days in the hospital before Abby was born. She passed 6 hours later due to an infection.We choose to believe God is merciful. Despite the pain this caused our entire family, we know that Abby is with God and our family in heaven. We were heartbroken after the loss of Abby and spent a lot of time processing our grief. We prayed, stayed connected, and talked at length about our feelings and the future. Through it all, Ellie was a constant reminder of the joy that we feel as parents. We knew that we wanted to find a way to love and nurture another child and continue to grow our family. About a year ago, we decided that adoption was the path for us.We are excited about this new journey and can’t wait to welcome another child into our family!

We want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude and excitement.
Your courage and love in making this decision are truly inspiring, and we want you to know how deeply honored we are to be considered as adoptive parents.

We, along with our family and friends, are thrilled to be expanding our family and our love. We promise to nurture and cherish your child, making choices that are always in their best interest. Our commitment to each other as partners and parents will remain strong, and we will prioritize our relationship, knowing that a loving and supportive family starts with a solid foundation.

Together, we look forward to sharing countless adventures and discovering the beauty of the world through your child’s eyes. We will instill in them the Christian values of love, kindness, and faith, ensuring that they grow up in a family filled with the warmth, security, and understanding every child deserves.

Thank you for considering us as adoptive parents to your child. We know what an incredible gift this is and can sympathize with how challenging this may be for you.

If you choose or wish to stay in contact, we want you to know that we are committed to upholding our promises to you. Integrity is a key value for us, and we will approach this relationship with honesty and respect.

We promise to honor you and your child’s story and to create a loving home where they can thrive.

With all our love and gratitude,
– Nick & Megan
