Emily & Ryan

Family Type: Heterosexual Couple
State We live in: Missouri

dear expectant mother

We want to start out by saying that we deeply admire your strength and courage. The decision you are facing is one of the hardest a mother can make, and we can only imagine the many emotions you must be experiencing right now. Considering adoption for your baby is a profound and selfless decision. It comes from a place of love and desire to give your child the best opportunities for their future.

We have always dreamed about expanding our family and shortly after we got married we decided to do so, but unfortunately, we were met with fertility issues. After having four unsuccessful IVF transfers we were even more determined to become parents. We have become more encouraged through our faith and support of our friends and family, that adoption is the right choice for us. If chosen, we can promise that your child will always feel protected, safe, supported and to teach your baby the importance of loving others unconditionally, respect, responsibility and courage. We guarantee to provide a home that is founded on faith, love, kindness and fun! Please know that we are honored that you have taken the time to read our profile. It is because of your strength that we may be given the opportunity to explore the greatest blessings of our lives, the blessing of becoming parents.

Our Love Story

We both grew up in Illinois and met each other in college through a mutual friend and started dating soon after. We both fell in love with one another very soon into our relationship and knew that we were meant to spend the rest of our lives together. We tied the knot in 2014. It was one of the most wonderful days of our lives.

Ryan was offered his dream job to be a firefighter in Missouri in 2019, so we left our hometown and moved to start the next chapter in our lives together! The first job that Emily had when we initially moved was working at a children's academy as a teaching aid. She ended up switching career paths and has been working in the optical field as an optical tech for the last three years.

We are a down to earth fun loving couple who enjoys spending time with friends and family. Together we love to attend sporting events, concerts, traveling, taking a dip in our pool and cuddling on the couch at home with our two kitties watching movies.

Our Home & Neighborhood

In 2020, we were able to buy our home, a three-bedroom house in a family friendly sub-division. We are blessed that our home is located in one of the best school districts in the state which is very important to us. There are also a lot of local parks and beautiful trails nearby to explore, along with children's museums, the zoo & aquarium, and other popular local attractions. We are looking forward to sharing our beautiful home with your little one along with our two sweet cats Sophie and Izzabella who are so excited to become big sisters.

Our Family & Friends

We are so thankful that we both have families that are very much involved in our lives. Emily's parents have been happily married for 45 years, while Ryan’s parents happened to separate when he was a young child. He is fortunate enough to have wonderful parents that co-parented in harmony with each other. Between us, we have four sisters, five nephews, and one niece.

Even with our families living two hours away we always make it a priority to spend as much time with each other as possible. Which includes continuing family traditions, such as having Christmas Eve dinner with Ryan’s mom and step dad, and having breakfast casserole on Christmas morning at Emily's parents house! In addition to our close immediate family members we both have multiple aunts, uncles and cousins all residing in the Midwest. Our families enjoy traveling together, we have visited Italy, Mexico, Key West, Lake of the Ozarks together!

We are fortunate that we have an amazing support system of friends that are more like family to us, that are just right down the road. We have multiple close friends that have children as well, and we guarantee that your child will be surrounded by other kids anxiously awaiting to create memories and friendships that will last a lifetime!

What We Love About Each Other

What I love about my husband Ryan is his undivided love & commitment for others, he is one of the most loyal and supportive people that I know. He always sees the good in others and is truly optimistic with every bump in the road that life throws at us. He's my best friend and I know without a doubt in my mind that he will make an incredible father.

The qualities that I love and admire in my wife Emily is how supportive she is in everything that we have gone through in the last fifteen years together. The reason I believe Emily will be an amazing mother, is the way she cares for others and always puts others' needs before her own.One of the things I am thankful for the most is that we can make up for each other's attributes that our counterpart may lack sometimes, and that is what I believe has been our success as a couple.
