Jason and Dora

Marriage Status: Married
Children: 0

Our story is something of destiny. Dora grew up in the third largest city of Romania, Europe, while Jason’s roots are here in the Twin Cities. We first met at Century College, where Dora worked and Jason was attending classes. As fate would have it, soon we fell in love and got engaged within 3 months. We have been married for 6 years and still as madly in love as the day we met. Through this love, we have learned respect and devotion for one another. We have been excited to become parents. We really are looking forward to the time to share with our enjoyment of gardening, fishing, hunting, nature, games, vacations and life experiences. We like playing sports, cooking, enjoying a good book or sitting down with some popcorn to watch a good movie. We spend a lot of time with children, especially with our niece. We enjoy the moments when she is with us and often have her stay over.

Joe and Kelly

Marriage Status: Married
Children: 1
Occupations: Architect and Project Manager

On a typical day in our house, the iPod is humming, the smell of coffee is lofting, the dog is scampering about, and our daughter Bridget is giggling herself silly. We’re an active bunch and take full advantage of living in the city, but we also make it a point to head “up north” once in a while. Faith is very important to us, and Sunday Mass is something we look forward to doing together. Our parish is home to a number of families with adopted children. We have a wonderful extended family and dear friends who live nearby, all who offer great support to us. In 2007, we were blessed to be chosen by Bridget’s birth mother and birth father to be her parents, and we consider ourselves lucky to have a continued relationship with them. Bridget has brought so much joy to our lives; a level of happiness that we never knew existed. We so want to grow our family and to share our love with another child.

John and Kerri

Marriage status: Married, 8 years
Children: 1

Kerri and I have been married for 8 years. We have a 3 year old little boy named David, and he fills our lives with laughter and joy everyday. It’s such a rush to have him leap into my arms when I come home from work and hear him scream, “Daddy you’re home!” It's moments like these that remind us, we have so much love to share with another child. Know that if we adopt your child, there will never be a day that he or she will go without love.

Mike and Liz

Marriage status: Married, 18 years
Children: 1

Hello! We are Mike, Liz and Joseph, a busy, happy family of 3, wanting to add a little girl to complete our family! We enjoy being involved in our community, volunteering for local charities and our church. We also enjoy traveling in and out of our state. Our lives have not been without heartache, but we have learned to how to weather the storms along the way. Every season we look forward to taking part in activities where we can appreciate all that God has given us. We both were brought up in large families with very supportive friends, and have started many traditions of our own with Joseph. We hope to open up our beautiful home and our hearts to a little girl to love and treasure!
