Hello!

You may not know us yet,

but we hope to be someone you do not forget.

We are a couple full of love,

Waiting for a newborn life to be a part of.

Our hearts are ready, that is true, and we hope our journey continues with you.

We know you have to make a choice,

You want to pick a couple that makes you rejoice.

Heart to heart, though miles apart, we pray this is where our new path starts.

WITH LOVE, Danny & Joani

We have wanted to grow our family for years. We tried fertility treatments at the specialist from 2019 to 2022 with no luck. We decided to get a second opinion, and our world turned upside down. Joani got diagnosed with endometrial cancer. The treatment options were to have the tumor removed, monitor, and hope it wouldn't come back, or have a hysterectomy. I told Joani that it was ultimately her decision, but we didn't need to have biological children to love them. She had her surgery in March of 2023, and has just hit the two-year mark of being cancer-free! Since her surgery, we took some time and looked into fostering and adoption. We thought and prayed on it, and found Gladney. I may not be a parent yet, but I am eager to learn. Joani will make a great mom and can't wait for the opportunity to complete our family. We thank you for considering us.

Although we don't know you, there are a few things we are sure of; which is that you love your child, that you are strong, and that you have great courage because without those things you wouldn't be reading this.

Hello, we are Scott and Jessica, a couple of home-grown, hardworking, fun-loving characters. Our living motto is "adapt and overcome," letting nothing stand in our way of persevering through all of life's adventures.

Founded from hardworking families and good quality values of the Midwest, we are best friends who have been married for nearly 6 years and together for 12. Our qualities complement each other with Scott being the analytical engineer who loves all things outdoors and Jessica being the thoughtful graphic designer who enjoys all things creative. We have one spoiled fur child, Mila, a 6-year-old Weimaraner who loves everyone she meets.

These are just the cliff's notes, but our full story is worth the read and we appreciate you taking the time to do so, regardless of the path you choose.
