Dear Birthmom

Dear Expectant Mother,

First and foremost, thank you for reading our profile. We hope you gained a sense of who we are as a couple and the love we could provide for your little one. We want to say you are brave and stronger than most. The life you're choosing to give your child is selfless, thoughtful, and a true testament to your character. Whatever choice you make will be the right one for you and your baby.

You, your family, and your history will always be a part of this child. We promise that we will work endlessly to help them understand who they are and where they come from. We promise to love this child unconditionally and provide a safe home for them to thrive in. We promise to give them the tools that they need to face difficult times and will walk right there beside them through it all.

We wish you the best in making this very difficult decision and hope that you find peace with whatever you decide. We would be honored, grateful, and beyond excited should you choose us for your baby. Every day of their lives and every milestone will be reinforced by the fact that we are able to love them because you loved them first.

Thank you so much,
Dan and Elaina

Our Story

We are Dan and Elaina, currently living in Wisconsin! We first met in April 2019 while living and working in Texas. Two years later, we got engaged in April 2021 and were married that December. Dan is hardworking, incredibly funny, grills the best steak, and loves with his whole heart. Elaina is funny, kind-hearted, a good cook, and values quality time with those she loves above all else. We both work in the travel industry—Dan as a Commercial Airline Pilot and Elaina as a Corporate Event Planner—and we are incredibly passionate about seeing the world. Dan was also in the Army for 10 years. We look forward to discovering the world with our future children, showing them all our favorite places, and finding new ones together! We believe with all our hearts that every child deserves a home filled with love, safety, and unwavering support—and we're committed to creating that kind of nurturing environment together.

 Our Extended Family

We both come from the best families! Elaina is one of 6 (3 boys and 3 girls), and Dan has 1 brother. We have 19 nieces and nephews that have really prepared us for parenthood. Both of our parents offer endless support in our lives. They are caring, stable, and beyond excited to become grandparents of any child we are blessed with. Although we have very few family members in Wisconsin, we see our parents monthly with them traveling to us or us visiting them in Missouri and Michigan.

Building puzzles, playing board games, and family movie nights are some of our favorite pastimes with our nieces and nephews! We also have the matching Christmas jammies that Elaina insists on each year that the teenagers still wear because they know it makes her happy!

 Our Home

This year, we bought our dream home on a quiet cul-de-sac in a wonderful neighborhood. Dan is passionate about the yard, Elaina enjoys decorating, and Pearl is thrilled with her new fenced-in backyard! We've especially enjoyed time on our deck and cooking meals on the grill. We can already picture summer evenings playing in the backyard, family dinners on the deck, and watching our future child make memories alongside Pearl. The only thing missing to make our home complete is the child we're hoping to welcome someday.

Three years ago, we brought home our dog, Pearl. Pearl is incredibly smart, loves treats, gives the best cuddles, and gets so excited whenever she hears the word "leash." Walks, trips to the dog park, and being outdoors together are some of our favorite activities.

 Our Journey to Adoption

After dealing with fertility issues but always knowing that we wanted to be parents, we turned to adoption to make our dreams come true. We've always known, deep in our hearts, that no matter how our path to parenthood unfolds, it's the journey we were meant to take—and one we're ready to embrace with all the love we have to give. We have spent the last few years building the lifestyle we have always hoped for. We want to provide the best home life for any child we are blessed with. We feel we are in a very stable place physically, financially, and emotionally. We are incredibly blessed with the life we have and are ready to share that love with a little one!
