Hello,

My Name is Ruby H. Adame. I’m born in the USA. I’m married almost 5year. And we have three children. Older my daughter is 5years old, second son is 4years old and third daughter is 3years old.

We are deaf parent and children are CODA ( Child of Deaf adults (parent/s).

We would like to hear from anyone deaf children or child. We have to take to time.

Greetings! I am Antoinette Bradley. I am an attorney in the United States Army. I serve my country and citizens as a Judge Advocate General. Most importantly, I am a proud single parent by choice of one beautiful little girl named Milana EstelleGrace. We are excited about the possibility of adopting. We currently live in New Orleans, Louisiana which is a place full of culture and unique urban overtones known for French and Spanish origins, jazz, festival, and Creole and Cajun cuisine like gumbo and crawfish. I am originally from northern Louisiana so it is exciting to be back in my home state at this time. Why? …Milana will have the opportunity to experience Louisiana’s rich culture and traditions at a young age.

I have a large FAMILY that consists of four sisters and three brothers. I am the youngest of the eight of us. We are a loving and close family. Our parents passed in 2020 after nearly sixty years of marriage. They followed each other ten days apart. I believe this is an example of the love they had for one another. I have a host of nieces and nephews that are closer in age to me than my siblings. I love FAMILY and believe FAMILY is the number one key to happiness in my life. My entire FAMILY (my siblings and their immediate families) come together each year in the month of December to celebrate the holiday together. We sing Christmas carols, play games, have contests, cook, laugh, exchange gifts and enjoy each other’s company for the entirety of the day. The Bradley FAMILY has celebrated together in this fashion for over thirty years. Some years, the turnout is bigger than others but we have never and will never end the tradition our parents started many many years ago.
My desire is to welcome a son into my immediate and FAMILY and the Bradley FAMILY as a whole.

I struggled over 6 years trying to conceive from IVF, donor eggs, and surrogacy. FAMILY is tremendously significant to me. I would love for you to consider myself and Milana as the Waiting Family deserving of your beautiful baby boy. I can guarantee that he will receive more than his share of love, affection, and attention. Thank you for taking an interest in my small yet loving immediate FAMILY. We can’t wait to blend our family.

Until then,
Antoinette & Milana

My wife and I have always wanted a family of our own, but due to the numerous number of children out there without a family to call their own, we felt it selfish to try to conceive on our own when there are so many children out there that need a family. My wife comes from a Catholic upbringing and I come from a Christian upbringing. As we age, we are progressing in our careers and are missing out on that family that we have always wanted. We have a lot of love to give and are anxious to have a child to be a part of our family. The thee of us, or more.

My husband and I met at church and contrary to storybooks it was not “love at first sight”. Rather the opposite, we both couldn’t care less for each other, but God had other plans. I prayed for a year that God would give me a husband and then God prompted Ed to make a call and ask me out to “bless me with dinner”. I reluctantly said ok, but something strange happened, we had a good time with each other and within two weeks we had decided to “go steady”. Within two months we knew that we were going to get married and 7 months later we were. We became a blended family with his two teenage kids and within a year began the process of expanding through foster adoption. We adopted a 15 year old girl, when the other two kids were 18 and 21. Then we felt it was finally time to try for a biological child. After 8 months of trying, the Dr. felt a fertility specialist was necessary. It was then a rocky rollercoaster of tests and fertility treatments to find out that I’m a carrier for syndrome that would almost guarantee a severe special needs child without IVF. Since we couldn’t afford IVF, we took a break and then got a second opinion about a year later and that specialist said that recessive gene I carry was, in fact, not a concern for any generation in my family tree and might only possibly happen to be passed down hundreds of generations later. Putting aside my anger and fear, week tried multiple rounds of fertility unsuccessfully for one silly reason or another and then the cost caught up to us again, so we had to take a break. Meanwhile, our Daugther graduated from Highschool and I was feeling empty nesty, so we got a puppy and started to host foreign exchange students. We have tried to adoption a second time and have been matched successfully, then it fell through. Despite everything, We are hopeful that Nightlight will provide us with the opportunity to expand and create a forever family.

Dear Birth Mother,

We would like to first say Thank-You for taking time out to read about our story and brave enough to consider an Adoption plan for your child. We can only imagine the decisions that you face at this time. We commend you in your strength and courage in making plans to make sure your child has the best possible life. We Thank-You in advance for taking time out to read our letter as you make plans to find suitable parents for your child-to-be.

We want to introduce ourselves to you, hello my name is Terri and my husband’s name is Shane and we have been married for 17 years now. We are both in our 40's and we attend church every Sunday. We have a very stable home, a home my husband built himself from scratch he has a really good job. (doing construction work.) With that I mean I can be a stay- at-home mom and tend to the children's needs. We live in the country on five acres. Our house has four-bedrooms and has 2 ½ baths, it is a 1 ½ story ranch style house, with a basement completed for entertainments. We have a big back yard so that the kids can play in. We just adopted a stray baby kitten and some baby pups. We have chickens so that someday we can start a farm. My husband and I love the outdoors. We enjoy traveling, going to the museums, plays, movies, concerts, horseback riding. We also like going camping, fishing, canoeing, bike riding, playing tennis. We just took our adopted son to Disney world in the year 2015. Our son loves to hang out with Daddy and build things and play on his bunk bed. His bed is L shaped and has a loft underneath so that when the adopted sibling comes they can watch movies together. He is looking forward for their arrival here and we pray for them to come every day. Our son loves to play with his Legos, has a big imagination on how to care for his sibling and what they will be doing together. I want to explain why we can’t have kids.
Around our third Anniversary of marriage we lost our first child through a miscarriage. We were devastated but we didn't lose hope that God will provide a child to us. Our first miscarriage was in the year 2003. Then in the year 2006 we thought we would try doing invitro and they implanted twins in me but sadly after two weeks of being pregnant we lost them both. So, shortly after that we knew that God's plan for us was to adopt, we were placed on the waiting list from the year 2006- 2010. I will never forget that beautiful moment of this call on April fool’s day of the year 2010 saying you need to pick up your baby boy! We were crying and laughing with so much joy, a joy I never experienced in my life!
So, we decided to go through an adoption plan in the year 2010 and successfully we were able to adopt a boy when we got him he was only 4 days old, he is now 7 years old and he has been saying Momma when can we adopt another one? I am lonely and need someone to play with? This was his reply. He has been wanting a sibling to play with since he was two years old. Adoption is a big part of our lives and we value the gift that our God provides. This is for that birth mother whom chooses us to adopt her child. If you choose for us to love and nurture your child, they will be truly loved and will cared for. We will provide a fund for their future college and will be filled with lots of love. We have a room full baby girl clothes. I homeschool our son through a Christian setting. We are very excited to start adding to our family again through adoption.
My plan is to draw awareness to our children and show them how blessed they truly are and to show them that even God was adopted and allow them to see how special adoption is. If you choose us, I will show you pictures of our home and show you pictures of all the clothes we have ready for that bundle of joy to be part of our lives. You can e-mail me at Adopting4causes@yahoo.com and we look forward to your reply soon.

Amy and I were married right after college in 2006. We always had a dream of having a family but unfortunately as we found out, we both had fertility issues. However, our desire to be parents never dwindled. Our faith led us to the decision to adopt. We don't see adoption as a second choice, but rather the answer to our family. My wife and I are both in healthcare and our desire to serve others also made adoption an easy option and a natural fit for us. We have an amazing support group of family and friends including friends with small kids. We desire to be a parent to at least two children; and have entered into the domestic and china special needs program.

Hi,
My husband and I have been through a long journey of painful miscarriages and a loss of a healthy baby newborn. I always worked with children and youth in churches and was just around a lot of them and always loved it. I tried to adopt when I was younger after having one child but they turned us down because we didn't make enough money, they said. How heartbreaking! All I did was think of all the children who didn't have a family to call their own, a mommy to tuck them in at night and tell stories to, or a daddy to play ball with.
My husband has been a Math teacher
for years and a wrestling coach. I have watched my husband act like a father figure with compassion and mentoring to many youth for years. It is sad to see such an honorable man not be able to raise his own children. I mentioned adoption a couple of years ago and he said he could easily see himself doing that. So here we are starting a hopeful, brighter chapter and new journey together. We feel like our children will be selected by God that belong in our family and he will bring all parts of his plan together. We don't know how it will all work out( finances, support, etc), but we trust it will. Yes, "hope lives."
