Hi, we are Chris and Caitlin. Thanks for choosing to check out our profile! We hope that you’re able to see just how excited we are to adopt and how much love we have to share with another child! 

We met at work and were coworker/friends for two years before Caitlin finally strong-armed Chris into a date in 2014. To be fair, Caitlin was the quiet receptionist who had twin boys (Nate and Alex), and to a boisterous single guy, that can be intimidating. After dating about six months Chris met Nate and Alex. They hit it off instantly, and Chris was a natural bonus-dad from the very beginning. While we bonded over movies, Halloween, board games, traveling and enjoying all life has to offer, while the boys bonded over video games and Dungeons and Dragons. Fast forward to 2022, we have been married for almost 3.5 years and our relationship has only gotten stronger. 

Chris always wanted to be a dad and Caitlin equally wanted to raise a child with him. After unsuccessfully trying to get pregnant on our own we spent two years trying IVF, which unfortunately didn’t work out. We decided to try using donated embryos and got pregnant on our first transfer. Sadly, we lost our little “bug” before they were 10 weeks along. We were devastated but realized that even though we had no genetic connection to this little one, we were already over the moon in love with it. We tried five more times before finally deciding to take the next natural step, which was adoption.

FAQ’s about placing a baby for Adoption

I'm considering giving my baby up for adoption. How much does that cost?

It won't cost you anything. If you choose to place your baby for adoption, all of your medical and legal fees will be covered and you may be eligible for financial assistance with other pregnancy-related expenses.

I'm experiencing an unplanned pregnancy and don't know who the birth father is. Can I still place my baby for adoption?

Yes. Even if you don’t know the identity of the birth father, you can still choose to make an adoption plan. However, every adoption situation is different. The adoption social worker you’re assigned to will get to know you and your story first, and then guide you through the process accordingly.

When is the right time to talk with an adoption professional?

You can make an adoption plan at any point in your pregnancy, even after the baby has been born. But, it's important to start the process as early in your pregnancy as possible. Connecting with those resources will allow you to gain access to important medical services, including prenatal care, to help ensure a healthy pregnancy.

When I create an adoption plan, will I get to choose who is in the room with me during delivery?

One aspect of your adoption plan is the "Hospital Plan" an outline of how you'd like your hospital stay and delivery to go. You can craft this on your own or with the help of your adoption social worker. But everything is up to you. You’ll be able to choose who comes to the hospital with you, who is in the room with you during delivery, and how much time you’d like to spend with the baby before signing the final papers.

How much contact will I have with the adoptive family after I place my baby with them?

As part of your adoption plan, you'll determine whether or not you’d like to have an open or closed adoption or something in between. Open adoptions may include phone calls, messaging (via social media, email, or text), and/or periodic visits each year. Closed adoptions may include no contact at all or annual updates provided to the birth parent(s) by the adoptive family. Each post-adoption relationship is different and can vary based on what an expectant mother chooses in her adoption plan.
