Ready-to-Adopt Families

James and Johnice

If we could describe ourselves in one word, it would be down-to-earth. We love people, each other, and God. We consider it an honor to serve and bless others. One of our favorite things to do is spend time with family. Whether it is here in the greater Nashville area or in rural parts of Mississippi or in the city beach life of Virginia, there is nothing like a James and Johnice cookout. James is the master of the grill and smoker. Johnice takes care of all the fixins and has an excuse to bake multiple cakes from scratch for our family and friends to enjoy while playing games, catching up on life, and trying out the latest line dances. Adoption has always been a part of God’s plan for our lives, and we knew we wanted 3 things to be in place: 1. Firm foundation in Christ and in our marriage 2. A deep understanding of the call and ministry of parenthood 3. The ability to be fully present with our kids. We have so much love and care to give to your baby. We are so thankful for you and your sacrifice and pray that God will continue to strengthen you and direct your path.

Clark and DeeAnn

Hi! We are Clark & DeeAnn. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us! We’ve been married for ten years, and have been dreaming of growing our family for a long time, and are so grateful for the opportunity to adopt. We live on five acres in central Oklahoma and love being outdoors-hiking, camping, gardening, and playing with our two dogs and cat. Faith and family are at the heart of our lives. We’ve attended the same church for nine years and are part of a close-knit community of Christian families. Our family, including grandparents, siblings, cousins all live nearby and can’t wait to welcome a little one! We believe in open adoption and would love to build a connection that feels right for everyone. If you’d like to learn more, we’d love to chat!
**With love, Clark & DeeAnn

Nathan and Bethany

Hi! We are Nathan and Bethany. We’ve been married for 18 years and have a young son who became a forever part of our family through adoption. We were previously foster parents for 3 years to a set of siblings, and we (and our dog Lily) would love to welcome another little one into our home. We find joy in fun family activities, being outdoors, reading books, taking trips and spending time with our church family, friends and neighbors. We have even more love and space in our hearts to share and would be overjoyed to see our family grow. Wherever life finds you right now, we’d love to learn more about you and let you get to know us.

Bobby and Nina

Hi! We are Bobby and Nina Durning. Thanks for taking a moment to get to know us! We have been married for 10 years, have a small 7 year old maltipoo named Jerry, and live in a beautiful suburb in the DFW area. Originally New Englanders, we relocated to Dallas in 2022 and have built an incredible community and life here. At our church, Bobby works as a pastor and Nina as an administrative coordinator. After journeying through infertility for 6 years, fostering children in the northeast, and praying for his guidance, the Lord has brought us to a place where we are now able to grow our family through adoption. We invite you to get to know us a little more by exploring our profile. We are praying for you as the Lord leads you through in your journey and thank you for taking the time to consider us.

Jason and Leah

We’re Jason and Leah, and we’re so excited to be on this journey. From the moment we started down this path, we’ve been praying for you, and our incredible support system has been praying for you as well.
Becoming parents has always been a dream of ours. Long before we knew adoption would be part of our story, we were praying for the child that God had planned for us.
We’ve been married for ten years and live in a wonderful neighborhood in the heart of our town. Every evening, families are out walking their dogs, riding bikes, and enjoying the community. We love spending time together whether it’s watching movies, playing board games or video games, or hosting friends and family throughout the year. Jason is a big movie fan, especially when it comes to Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Marvel movies. Leah has been a lifelong reader and is excited to one day share some of her favorite stories with a child.
Traveling is also a big part of our lives, from magical trips to Disney to quick weekend getaways to Branson. But we also appreciate a good lazy day at home, curled up with a book or watching our favorite movies.
Leah is a special education teacher with a deep passion for working with children, while Jason is a manager at an exclusive retail store and loves getting to interact with so many people each day.
We can’t wait to meet you. We know this is an incredibly brave decision, and we’re praying for you every step of the way.

Terrence and Kelly

Hi we are Terrence and Kelly. We have been married for 4 years. We always have so much fun together wherever we go and whatever we do. Terrence and I are each other’s best friends and biggest supporters. God is in the center of our marriage and he guides us in every way of life. We are so excited about meeting you! We pray for you and your baby everyday. We know that God will give you wisdom and guidance along the way. We just want to let you know how brave and strong you are. We have wanted to start a family for 3 years now, however we struggled with infertility. We both realized that God had bigger plans for us and led us to adoption. We have leaned on the verse in the bible that says in Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways. All our friends and family can’t wait for our family to grow. Your baby is already loved so much!

Donovan and Valerie

Hi! We are Donovan and Valerie. We’ve been married for five wonderful years, and after facing infertility during that time, we’re so excited to grow our family through adoption. We met at Bible college in California–it was love at first sight. We came home to get married, and currently reside in Connecticut. Our days are filled with coffee dates, pickleball games, cozy movie nights, and traveling whenever we can. But more than anything, our home is built on faith in the Lord, laughter, and love for each other, for God, and for the child we hope to welcome.We trust completely in the Lord’s sovereignty and believe He has lovingly led us to this beautiful path of adoption through Christian Homes.
We’ve been praying for you—truly. For peace, strength, and confidence in your decision. You are incredibly strong, and we hold the deepest respect for you.

Jeff and Jen

Hi! We’re Jeff and Jen, and we are so grateful you’re taking a moment to get to know us. We can only imagine the strength and love it takes to consider adoption, and we want you to know that we are praying for you as you walk this path. Our family is full of love, laughter, adventure, and joy, and we are so excited at the thought of welcoming another child into it. We have always dreamed of a big, close-knit family, and adoption has been on our hearts for a long time.

We’ve been married since 2014 and met back in college while studying Russian (we even lived in Moscow, Russia for three years!). These days, we live in a cozy midcentury home in Dallas with our kids, Weston (9) and Ellie Mae (7) and 2 dogs. Jeff is a consultant with a calm, thoughtful spirit and a dry sense of humor that keeps us all smiling. He loves reading, sports, hiking, and lazy Saturday mornings. Jen is a full-time stay-at-home mom and part-time homeschooler to our two kiddos. She’s very social, creative, and always finding a reason to throw a party or deliver cookies to friends. Until recently, she ran a vintage furniture shop and still loves all things home design.

Adoption has been on our hearts for as long as we can remember. Our whole family is excited and praying for this adoption journey, including our sweet children (it’s heartwarming to hear them pray for a baby and talk about how excited they are), grandparents and our church family. We thank you for choosing life and are praying God give you peace and comfort, and that He bless you and the baby whatever path you choose.
