We are hoping to grow our family through adoption

From the depths of our hearts, thank you for your courage and your selfless love. It is impossible to put into words the gratitude we have for you and the immeasurable impact you are making on our lives.

Though we have experienced pain and loss from our fertility journey, we truly believe that God has led us down this road to you. We cannot begin to understand the journey you have gone through. All that we can say is that we are so grateful and honored to be holding your hand through this step in the road.

The adoption journey brings us hope, but also waves of nervousness. We fully acknowledge that this is a difficult journey for you as well. We are constantly praying that you find peace throughout this process and that we can jointly decide to make a beautiful life for this precious child.

Your selfless love will always be cherished in our family and in the stories we share with our children. We are so excited to finally meet you and hope we can travel down this path together.

Our Story

Joshua and Maegan met 16 years ago. It was a courtship that seemed straight out of a romantic novel brought about by a series of unlikely events. Joshua moved to California from the East coast and started working by chance at a local fish market. Maegan decided to take a job at the same fish market since it was biking distance from her house. From a distance, Maegan adored a shy, caring, and “old-fashioned” man that made her smile. Joshua fell in love with Maegan's kindness, laughter, and outgoingness. The connection they made that summer would last them a lifetime.

Within five years they were married and traveled the world together exploring Ireland, Scotland, Mexico, and Iceland. Road trips, camping, late-night movies, and morning coffees are their joys and these bonding experiences fueled a relationship rooted in a deep friendship and respect. They encouraged one another to be their best selves, held each other during hard times, together built a home, and embraced each other's families as their own.

Parenting is their greatest adventure and has truly sparked a deeper love between them. Through stolen glances and smiles, they watch their family flourish in their love!

“Adoption is not a new concept to us. We have close friends and family who have adopted, and are comforted knowing our future baby will not be alone in this journey”.

Why We Choose Adoption

We are so blessed to be the parents to our loving son, Elias, and our doodle dog, Sulley. Elias is such a caring, gentle, and playful little boy who is so excited to be a big brother. We have always desired to have multiple children and have been trying to grow our family for the past few years.

After numerous IVF treatments and miscarriages, our fertility journey has left us with an enormous amount of heartbreak and loss. But we soon realized that God had different plans for our family, and this sorrow was not the end of our journey. We are now filled with so much hope and peace because we know that adoption is the path God had planned for us all along and we are following this path wholeheartedly.

Adoption is not a new concept to us. We have close friends/family who have adopted, and are comforted knowing our future baby will not be alone in this journey. We are overcome with joy and hope knowing that a child will one day be able to join our special family. We have been longing and praying for them every second of every day.

-Josh and Maegan Adopt

We are so blessed to live in family-friendly community in Southern California and are within walking distance to a huge park with nature trails. We go on daily walks to the park, and during the holiday seasons, we like to admire our neighbors’ “movie quality” decorations. We renovated our two- story 6 bedrooms, 3 bath home over the past five years. Every detail in our home reflects the values of family and quality time. We have separate equal-sized bedrooms for our son and future baby upstairs, which is also adjacent to our bedroom. Connecting the kids’ bedrooms is a unique playroom that is outfitted with a train/play table, teepee, bean bags, cozy sofa, felt board for sensory play, an art wall for fun creations, and cubbies. Our house sits on almost an acre of land, which includes a large patio, a grass area, a kid mountain for digging, and a garden. We love releasing ladybugs in our garden and watching them live in the flowers. We also installed a tree house with swings, two slides, and a rock-climbing wall.  We love our home and have gone to great lengths to make it safe and warm, while also encouraging fun, exploration, and play.

Our Home and Community

We hope to guide this child to become a loving, compassionate, non-judgmental, confident, and honest person. We hope to nurture their individual gifts to help them achieve their dreams. We cannot wait to watch them develop, learn, and explore throughout all of their life stages. We hope Elias and this child become best friends and stand by each other throughout all of their life adventures. As parents, we hope to provide them with the tools to become their best selves and hope they know we are there to reach for their hand whenever they fall. We want them to be comfortable coming to us in any situation because they know that they will be met with acceptance and love. We hope they know they are desired and are a precious child of God, and we hope to tell them about the love God has for them. We hope they one day come to know all of the sacrifices, obstacles, difficult choices, and resiliency WE (You, Joshua and Maegan) have gone through to jointly ensure they have the best life possible. Most of all we hope they know they are unconditionally loved by their birth mom and adoptive parents beyond measure.

Our Hope For This Child

Before You Go You Should Know

Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know our family. We hope that it has given you a glimpse into our world and shown you the love that we have to share with a child. We have so much respect for your decision to consider adoption for this child. We believe you are incredibly brave and selfless. We are so excited to open our hearts and our home to a child through adoption, and cannot wait for that day to come.

Please know that any child who joins our family will be loved abundantly and unconditionally. They will be given every opportunity in life to pursue their dreams. We will encourage them to embrace their uniqueness and remind them that "The world needs who they were made to be". But most importantly, they will always know who they are, where they came from, and the love that their birth mother has for them.

We imagine that this must be a difficult decision for you to make and we want you to always feel at peace with your decision to place your child. We hope to meet you soon and are open to answering any questions you may have. We are also working with an agency that offers support services to help you get through this difficult time. From the bottom of our hearts, we wish the best for you and are constantly praying for you during this journey.

We Would Love To Meet You
