From the very beginning, our relationship has been rooted in faith, service, and a shared
- [Jonathan and Stephaney](https://christianhomes.com/adopt-familes/jonathan-and-stephaney/) - Hello! We are Jonathan and Stephaney Broadbent, and after seven wonderful years of marriage, we are eagerly preparing to expand our family. Stephaney is a stay-at-home mom, and Jonathan is a VP of Engineering for Scale AI’s public sector. Our desire to adopt a baby is deeply rooted in our backgrounds: both of us grew up as the second-born in families of four siblings, and with adoption being a cherished part of our extended family’s story, we feel uniquely ready for this journey. We are an active family who loves to work out, spend time outside in the woods near our home, and travel to see family. Our home is currently filled with the wonderfully contrasting energy of our two kiddos. Our daughter, Remington (almost five), is a wonderfully complex girl: deeply empathic, loving, and soft, yet she is currently learning to be aggressive in soccer and constantly begs to start Jiu-Jitsu. She is hilariously clumsy—constantly falling and knocking others down—but is quick to give up scoring a goal to offer a helping hand to a fallen friend. Remington loves to wrestle and play in the dirt and rain, often while wearing a princess dress and 1-inch bedazzled pink high heels. Her long, wavy blonde hair is always wild, just like her personality! Our son, JD (three), is a charming “treenager” boy. If he can throw it, take it apart, jump off it, or use it as a gun, he will. He is a little explorer who loves to wander off into the unknown but is also wonderfully sensitive and prioritizes his snuggles with Mom above all else. Our motivation stems from a profound love of being parents and a desire to fill our home with even more love, learning, and joyous chaos. This journey is deeply personal: having found immense fulfillment in creating our secure haven, we are ready, willing, and eager to open our hearts and home to provide a stable, loving, and permanent sanctuary for a child who deserves unconditional acceptance.

This baby is a precious gift from God, and we would be deeply honored to pour our time, love, and hearts into raising them. We’ve been married for five wonderful years, and we truly feel blessed to have married our best friend. Our home is tucked in the oak trees of a small town in West Texas—a place where kids can run, play, feed the deer from the porch, and grow up surrounded by a close-knit, family-friendly community. Family is everything to us. We have a huge support system of friends and relatives who are very involved in our lives and can’t wait to welcome a little one. Naomi will be a full-time stay-at-home mom, ready to pour her heart into caring for our child every day. Brandon is an incredibly present and involved husband, and he’s so excited to share his love, laughter, and faith as a dad. We are an active family who loves to travel, explore, and experience life together. We value health, fun, and making everyday moments special. More than anything, we are committed to raising our child to know Jesus and to grow up in a home filled with joy, faith, and unconditional love. We believe God has promised us that a child is waiting for us—a child we will love as our very own.

We got married in May of 2023 and are so grateful for all the Lord has provided to us during our time of marriage. We have so much fun together and feel so lucky to share our lives with so many wonderful friends and family. We love being outside, watching baseball, gardening, cooking, and spending time with loved ones. We have always felt called to adoption and are thrilled to be growing our family through adoption. We are praying for the baby and their first family as much as we think about them, which is very often. We are excited and expectant of all the Lord will do in and through this process and know that He has a good plan for everyone involved.
- [Chrystian and Lea](https://christianhomes.com/adopt-familes/chrystian-and-lea/) - Since 2017, we have walked through the difficult road of infertility. While IVF was an option presented to us, after much prayer, we never felt led to pursue it. Instead, we’ve continued to wait on God and trust His timing. Adoption has been a part of our hearts and through much prayer we know this is the path God has called us to walk. We’ve served in ministry most of our marriage – previously as Youth Pastors and now as ushers and prayer partners at our church, where we stay active in small groups and weekly services. To the incredible mother reading this, we want you to know we have been praying for you every day. You are seen, you are valued, and we are humbled and grateful for the possibility of walking this journey with you. Isaiah 4:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you.. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Our prayer to you.
- [Clark and DeeAnn](https://christianhomes.com/adopt-familes/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
- [Bobby and Nina](https://christianhomes.com/adopt-familes/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.
- [Joseph and Lindsey](https://christianhomes.com/adopt-familes/joseph-and-lindsey/) - Hi there! We are Joseph and Lindsey Vasquez and we are looking forward to meeting you!

We are high school sweethearts from Austin, TX and have been together since 2013. Joseph is a physical therapist and Lindsey is a kindergarten teacher. Our home is in Belton, TX in a neighborhood with lots of families, walking trails, and beautiful views. We have been trying to grow our family for over four years now, but have struggled with infertility. Our personal and church families have supported us over the years and are excited to support us on our adoption journey. We believe that the Lord’s plan and timing are perfect and we can’t wait to meet the sweet little baby he has in store for us!
- [Ric and Alison](https://christianhomes.com/adopt-familes/ric-and-alison/) - Blessings from the Rad’s! Our names are Ric and Alison Radcliffe, and we are so excited and have been waiting prayerfully for this day after struggling with infertility for the past 10 years. We are both teachers and coaches who love to learn, are competitive, and desire to serve our community for Christ and His Kingdom. We are blessed with an amazing community who have supported us in our journey to grow our family, and we both have amazing parents who have modeled what it looks like to raise children in a Christ-centered home (who are also eager to have more grandchildren). When we are not at school teaching or coaching, one would probably find us on our next adventure – whether that be hiking a National Park, seeking to serve our local community through our church, taking a short-term mission trip to another country, or traveling to visit friends or family who live in another state. Our hope is to one day hear the words, “Well done my good and faithful servant!” from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ … and it is our hope and prayer we will see our children and our children’s children serving the One True God all the days of our lives &/or until Jesus returns!
