Joel & Hope
Psalm 147:4
He determines the number of the stars; He gives to all of them their names.
Hey there, we are Hope and Joel.
Adoption has been on our hearts for a long time—even before we were married. We talked about it as something we were both open to and passionate about. After facing fertility challenges, we chose to pursue adoption rather than fertility treatments. We deeply believe that this is the path God has led us to, and He has opened doors in ways we never could have imagined.
Placing a child for adoption is a brave and loving choice. We have been and will continue to pray for you—your strength, your heart, and your journey. We would love for our child to grow up knowing the incredible gift you gave and to see the love of Jesus reflected in you—and we’re so excited to be a part of your adoption story, and for you to be a part of ours.
We hope to meet you, if that’s something you’re open to! Thank you for even considering us with something so deeply important, it’s truly an honor to even be a choice.
With love,
Hope and Joel

About Us:
From early in our marriage, we have felt a strong calling to grow our family through adoption. We believe every child deserves a loving, stable home, and we feel led to open our hearts and our home to a child in need. Adoption is not just a path to becoming parents—it’s a way we can live out our faith, extend love beyond biological boundaries, and be part of something bigger than ourselves.
