Adoption Network Babies
Check out a few of our precious babies and read what their thrilled parents had to say about them and us.
Dominic & Samantha
"We are so humbled and honored to have been chosen by our children’s birth mothers to be
the ones to raise them. We are in awe of the choice they made to give these beautiful
children a better life with us than they could give them. We are forever grateful to them
and to ANLC for creating our beautiful family. Dominic and Samantha are everything we ever
dreamed our family would be, and not only do we have them, they have each other. Our family
is now complete. Thank you ANLC!"
Joel & Andrea
Massimo & Maximiliano
"Massimo & Maximiliano: our life, pride and joy."
Mark & Maria
RaeLynn Rose
"Our journey was filled with ups and downs, like so many others, but we could not be
happier with how it turned out. We have a beautiful little girl who is the love of our
lives. We had a failed adoption and what we didn’t know then was that the plan for us was
to have this miracle come into our lives and make us a family. The phrase ‘worth the wait’
is so true. RaeLynn Rose is such a happy baby, she’s independent and fearless and loves
to play, laugh and give big hugs. She’s as beautiful as her birthmom and we cannot express
enough how grateful we are to her. We are truly blessed."
Steve & Angie
Christian
"I remember the day my son, Christian, was born like it was yesterday. I was so excited
that I left my coat and hat on the airplane. ANLC was superb during the entire process.
The most difficult time was the anxiety caused by my social worker. I would call my
liaison regarding this situation - she was very comforting and encouraging. I truly
appreciate ANLC for changing my life in such a wonderful way with the addition of my son.
Christian is such a pleasant little boy. I love to hear his laughter. He has been a
heartfelt blessing to ME, my immediate and my extended family. Thank you ANLC for this
magnificent union."
Rhonda
Adeline & Annabelle
"Adeline and Annabelle bring us such joy into our lives, it was truly a miracle to have
one beautiful daughter Adeline come into our lives. Then, 3 years later we were doubly
blessed with Addie’s baby sister Annabelle. Adeline and Annabelle completed our family,
and every day we are thankful for our ANLC family for making our dream come true."
Jim & Monica
Nevaeh
"Our baby girl, Nevaeh, is such a huge blessing. We waited 2 years before we got chosen.
She was worth every minute. Words can’t describe how much we love her."
Travis & Rochelle
Rowan
"Waiting was definitely one of the most difficult parts of our adoption journey.
Waiting for a placement. Waiting for the birth. Waiting to hold our son. Waiting to take
him home. Waiting for his first steps and his first words. Sometimes we can become so
busy waiting for what comes next, that we miss the precious moments in between. Rowan
has taught us the importance of slowing down, listening, watching, and enjoying each and
every moment. We are beyond grateful for our precious son, his birth mother, and ANLC for
making all these special moments possible!"
Ben & Allison
Lyndon
"A playful and charming little man, Lyndon has brought so much joy to our hearts and home.
He loves to explore the outdoors, read books, play with his tractors, and “help” us.
Hearing him call for “Mommy” or “Daddy” is an answer to our prayers. Adoption has given
us a beautiful blessing!"
Lynn & Alisa
Liam & Amelia
"Our family has never felt more complete and fulfilled as the day(s) Liam and Amelia came
into our lives. Our adoption journey was an amazing blessing and our hearts have been
overfilled with love. We are grateful every day for our birth mothers who were very brave
and courageous in their adoption decision. Liam has a huge heart, is a protector of his
sister, full of life and energy and loves the great outdoors. Amelia is determined,
outgoing, articulate and loving and enjoys being a part of all that her brother does.
Thank you ANLC for making our dreams come true!"
Tom & Jill
Tommy
"Tommy is worth every dollar I spent, every tear I cried, and every minute I waited for him.
The day this most beautiful, perfect little man came into my life was the day that everything
I ever worried about before disappeared. I know in my heart that he and I were meant to
be together. It just took a little patience and a lot of faith until we finally found our
way to each other and became a family."
Erin
"Becoming a mother through adoption has been one of the greatest gifts I have ever received.
I have no doubt that my little girl will continue to change the people that she meets as
she fights through her severe cerebral palsy diagnosis with persistence and strength.
Being chosen as her mama is an honor and a privilege and I will always be her biggest advocate."
Taryn
Amelia
"Amelia is our family’s miracle! Being her parents fills our lives with an overwhelming
amount of joy, gratitude and most of all love. We are so grateful to ANLC for all their
love and support throughout our adoption journey and the friendships beyond. We absolutely
adore Amelia’s birth mom and are so blessed to have her as a part of our family. This
wonderful little girl is loved by so many!"
D & Sara
Harrison
"Our little boy is the love of our lives and we cannot even begin to explain the
joy he brings us each and every day. It is like every day is Christmas over and
over again!"
Joshua & Jeanne
Bash
"Our family is the happiest it has ever been from the second Bash was born. The
love we have for our precious son is unmeasurable and we can’t imagine a moment
without him. His spunky personality is a perfect blend of both of us. Much
gratitude to ANLC for taking such care to ensure that everything fell into place
just as it was meant to be."
Doug & Sam
Neriah & Annabeth
"We adopted Neriah, who is now 4 and Annabeth, 9 months, both through ANLC. They
both bless our family beyond what words can express on paper. Their bond as
sisters is undeniable! The people at ANLC have become an extended part of our
family that we will forever love and be grateful to for bringing us our girls."
Joshua & Lis
Adelia
"Adelia came to me October 9, 2016. She is precocious, laughs easily, is
extremely strong, loves to play and has a predilection for giggles for just about
anything. She loves to swing outside and loves her library story time."
Julie Renee
Lola Claire
"Lola Claire is our sweet bundle of sugar with a personality larger than life!
God truly blessed us with the happiest, sweetest, sassy little girl. She brings
our family and friends so much joy and her smile and love for life is contagious!
She loves to explore, dance, bake and play outside. Bath time is her favorite
and the more bubbles the better! There are simply not enough words to express our
LOVE for our sweet sugar! We are blessed beyond measure! We can’t thank ANLC enough
for helping us through the wonderful journey of adoption and bringing Lola Claire
home."
James & Tricia
Eleanore
"Eleanore is such a joy in our lives. Every day is an adventure full of smiles and laughs."
Roger & Sara
Justice
"There will never be enough words of thanks to express how grateful we are to
Justice’s birth parents for choosing us. He has made our family complete and our
hearts whole. There is nothing better than waking up and seeing his smiling face
every day or seeing the world through his innocent eyes."
"Because of ANLC we have the family we always dreamt of."
Neil & Crystal
Ethan & Ivy
"We want to thank ANLC so much for making our dreams come true. We have adopted
two, perfect, beautiful children through ANLC. Ethan was born in 2011, he knows
how to light up a room with his smile and laugh. He enjoys entertaining us with
his singing and dancing. Ivy was born in 2014, she loves to make silly faces and
has a great sense of humor. She melts our hearts and she’s our perfect little
princess. Our lives have been blessed with the greatest joy that a family could
ask for."
Bryan & Barbara
Austin
"We didn't give Austin the gift of life, life gave us the gift of Austin. This
truly magical little boy arrived smiling in 2015 and our family has been shining
ever since. Our adoption journey has been the greatest blessing of our lives.
Our extended family, including Austin's Birth Parents and ANLC has transformed
what family means to us."
Mark & Sarah
Jackson
"Three years ago we brought home the most incredible little man. His laugh is
infectious, his curiosity insatiable and his imagination knows no bounds. We
didn’t just grow our family by one bundle of joy that day, but by the dozen thanks
to an amazing open adoption. His entire family loves him beyond words. A year
later we brought home Benjamin and life has been busy ever since!"
Thomas & Debbi
Samuel
"Adoption truly is love. I had no idea how much fun becoming a parent would be.
Becoming an adoptive parent is scary with so many emotions in the in the adoption
triad. It’s both challenging and rewarding. We have so much respect for the
birth parents and love sharing Samuel’s milestones with them. So many people
love this boy, it’s amazing!"
Scott & Mellisa
Marshall
"From the moment my precious son Marshall arrived in this world, he has been
warming hearts and charming everyone in sight. His electric smile and laughter
light up any room. The fact that I get to be his mom makes me the luckiest mama
in the world and my heart explodes with love in a way I could never fully describe.
I thank God daily for his incredibly courageous Birth Mother and for ANLC for
bringing us together. They were there for us through every twist and turn, and
my gratitude flows eternal. I chose to embrace the journey and trust in God’s plan,
and ANLC helped place the most perfect soul into our family."
Kimberly
Emilia
"Emilia has been a true blessing, and most incredible gift that we have received from God.
Her adoption journey taught us the true meaning of unconditional love! We just couldn’t be happier.
Emilia Isabel is a true testament that you should never give up on your dreams.... And that miracles DO happen!"
Emilio & Carmen
Sebastian
"This is Sebastian ("Bash") born on 2/12/2014.
He fits into our family like a glove and we could not imagine life without him. Bash is
so much like his Daddy already and never takes his eyes off of his Mama.
We had an amazing experience with ANLC with the way they handle everything, their
professionalism, and how they express empathy to all parties involved."
Douglas & Shirley
Aubree
"My husband and I had started the adoption process in September 2010…but he died
unexpectedly in December 2010. One year later, I decided to begin the journey by
myself. I received a call from ANLC on 9/7/12 that I had been selected by a birth mother.
On 9/21/12, my daughter, Aubree, made her entrance into the world. My dream of becoming
a mother was finally a reality. I’m beyond grateful that her birth mother made the
unselfish decision to place her for adoption. God could not have placed a more perfect
child in my arms and heart."
Susan
Kanyan
"We thought we knew how much love and joy Kanyan would bring to our family, but it is so
much more than we could have ever imagined! Kanyan is our little ray of sunshine!"
Mike & Sheila
Noah
"Our journey to Noah was and continues to be a complete reminder of God’s love, grace
and mercy for our family. It doesn’t matter that we do not share similar looks or DNA;
the love we share with him is beyond measure. From the first time our birth mother
handed him to us, there was always a sense that this was the little baby we’ve been
looking and praying for."
Jeremie & Katy
Asher
"This is Asher at one year. He was born 1/24/15 and there has not been one day that has
passed without us giving thanks to God, our birth mom and ANLC for our beautiful gift.
It's true, the longer and harder the road, the sweeter the ending."
Michael & Michele
Zoe
"The support we received from ANLC throughout the waiting and adoption process made us
feel like we were surrounded by friends. They were there for us through difficult times
and during the happiest moments of our journey, as we welcomed our baby girl. The moment
Zoe entered our lives, our happiness multiplied immeasurably! Her place in our family and
in our hearts was clear from the start. Zoe is such a sweet, fiery, tenacious little soul
and she makes friends and spreads giggles wherever we go. We simply cannot imagine our
lives without her and we feel very fortunate to have found ANLC to help unite us."
Chris & Jaime
Rilyn
"After many years of trying to become parents, we made the life-changing decision to
adopt through ANLC. We could not have made a better decision. Rilyn is the absolute light
of our lives and our love for her grows every day. We will forever be grateful to our Birth
Parents and to ANLC for the indescribable gift they have given us. We are the family we
always wanted!"
Ryan & Rebecca
Mason
"It has been 3 years since we became the proud parents of Mason, and we are so grateful
for each and every day! We couldn't have asked for a more loving, affectionate, intelligent
child. We love him more than words can express and we thank ANLC for all of their help."
Ryan & Rochelle

Baby J was more than worth the wait! He is an amazing blessing to our family!"
Todd & Alice
Garin
"Garin was born on June 17, 2011 and we were fortunate to be present for his birth.
Since Garin was able to smile, he has been lighting up the world. He is so full of love,
joy, and the desire to make people laugh. Our adoption journey has not been easy and we
continue to face daily challenges, but the sound of his laugh and the warmth of his hugs
truly melts our hearts. He is exactly where he is supposed to be and we wouldn’t change
a word of his adoption story."
Charles & Valerie
Nathaniel & Adalyn
"After experiencing the loss of our triplets, and praying through our healing process,
the Lord blessed our family twice within a 14 month period with the birth of our precious
son Nathaniel and our daughter Adalyn. We are delighted to share that they are growing
into strong, healthy, intelligent little ones. Nathaniel and Adalyn exude pure joy as
witnessed through their contagious smiles, filling our lives with beautiful singing,
dancing, special creations, adventure and unending love."
Vincent & Kimberly

to find her."

handed him to us, there was always a sense that this was the little baby we’ve been
looking and praying for."
Jeremie & Katy

"We adopted our daughter Emily 3 years ago and she is such a funny, energetic,
loving little girl and big sister. 5 weeks ago we were blessed with our little man,
Caden. We are so blessed to have had ANLC with us throughout both of our journeys.
Everyone we worked with were so supportive, loving, and caring."
Gary & Dana
Tristan
"Tristan is a bright and intense light of happiness and joy."
Simon & Marina
Isaiah
"Each adoption journey is an adventure, and ours culminated in the gift
of an energetic and fun-loving boy. We had a wonderful experience with
our birth mom, who wanted us to watch Isaiah's birth and was intentional
about Isaiah bonding with us immediately. We are so grateful for her.
Isaiah brings inexpressible joy to our lives, and to nearly everyone
with whom he interacts. He loves to be outdoors playing at the park,
visiting the zoo or running in the backyard. We cannot imagine our lives
without him, and are so thankful for the Adoption Network Law Center!"
Thomas & Jessica
Adeline
"Adeline has been a true blessing to us, our friends, and family.
Adeline is nearly 4 now, and we could never imagine our life without
her in it, after all she’s the boss. We will be forever grateful to
all the wonderful people at ANLC who worked for 2 years to bring Adeline
in to our lives. Their kindness and encouragement kept us going on our
life changing journey."
Jim & Monica
Jackson
"It’s hard to describe our adoption journey with words. At times it was
devastating, arduous and daunting. The wait seemed insurmountable when
we wanted this family so desperately! Our friends and family said our baby
would find us. Our ANLC family said have faith. The love and support carried
us through and when Jackson was placed in my arms for the first time I knew a
love so powerful it couldn’t be measured. He was so worth the wait!"
Tom & Debbi
Ethyn
"We could never have imagined how amazing adoption would be. We owe this all
to Adoption Law Network for making our dream a reality. Ethyn is the most
amazing little guy. He is full of personality and his tight hugs and kisses
will melt your heart. He is our treasured gift."

faces every day! She loves to play outside and swing and slide and ride her
tricycle. We are blessed beyond measure!"
James & Tricia
Austin
"After two disruptions in our adoption process, we were beginning to wonder if
our dream of having a family would ever come true. Then, we got the call that
a birth mom had chosen us and a boy would be born in a few weeks. Two days later,
they called us back and said it wasn't one boy but it was twins! We were overjoyed!
Austin and Noah are the happiest, sweetest boys and bring joy to everyone they meet.
We are so thankful to Adoption Network Law Center."
Kevin & Barbara
Sophia
"We tried to grow our family for over 4 years before turning to ANLC for help.
Within nine months of our profile going "live" to birth parents for consideration,
we were given the greatest gift of our girl. She has brought such joy to our lives,
and we hope that we can do the same for her as she grows. She has been such a
blessing, and we are so grateful to ANLC for their role in bringing us together."

Taylor
"Life doesn’t get any better than our little trio. We are so blessed to have beautiful,
healthy, smart children. It’s been a joy to watch them grow into their own little
personalities over the past 6 years. Thank you ANLC for guiding us through our journey
not once, not twice, but three times. Without you none of this would have been possible!"
Thomas & Wendy
Adalyn
"We simply cannot imagine our lives any other way than with our precious Adalyn.
We count ourselves richly blessed and are honored and privileged to be her forever
parents (“Daddy” & “Mommy”). We are so very thankful for the ANLC team and their
genuine care and guidance they gave us through our entire adoption journey."

grown into - I can't imagine our world without him! Bodie bring a little joy to everyone
he meets - he has such a good soul and a loving heart. He is what makes our family complete!
I never thought I could feel such true joy but Bodie really does make my husband &
I want to be the best people, the best parents and the best role models possible."
Kevin & Gianna
Hudson
"The gift of adoption has blessed our family three times! With the addition of Hudson,
all of our dreams came true! After three failed matches in three months, we had almost
given up hope. Then on my way to pick up our children from school, we got THE CALL.
Someone had picked us and the baby was being born the very next morning on the other
side of the country! Hudson, you are our perfect angel! We are so blessed to have
you in our family and you truly are a dream come true!"
Brian & Lisa
Neriah
"Neriah was born on February 18, 2013. She has been the most amazing addition to our family.
She is full of energy and her personality lights up a room from the moment she enters it.
She captures your heart upon your first interaction with her. Our journey with ANLC was so
fast and smooth. We had Neriah in our arms within 3 months of going live. Adoption is an
experience unlike anything else in life. We wish everyone was fortunate enough to
experience what we have through the help of ANLC."
Joshua & Elisabeth
Christian
"The adoption process for us would best be described as “a dream come true,” meant to be,
experience! Six weeks after we finished our paperwork, we were chosen by Birth Parents.
We developed an incredible relationship with them throughout her pregnancy and learned
about them and their families and now know about our son’s background. We were in the
delivery for his birth and as soon as he was born, there was a connection between him and us.
Even our Birth Parents sensed it and felt so at peace with their decision of choosing us.
Christian is an amazing blessing and has added so much love and joy to our home."
Kevin & Tracy
Ali
"In March 2013 our little angel was born and lives changed forever.
Ali brings so much happiness to all around her. She is, and always will be,
the center of our world. We can't imagine our lives without her.
Thank You ANLC!"
William & Becky
Jackson
"Jackson and Logan mean the world to us. Their beaming smiles and cheerful
laughter brighten the lives of everyone they come across. Through faith,
careful planning, and the unselfish gift of two birth mothers we are parents.
Thank you ANLC for guiding us through every step of our adoption journey."
Scott & Tricia
McEachern
"After enduring unfathomable heartache while undergoing numerous fertility treatments
over a 5 year period, God had a very special angel planned for our lives all along and
words just cannot begin to express our pronounced joy watching His plan unfold.
God had a grand plan for our lives and has truly blessed us beyond measure."
Dave & Amy
