Hi, I am Yuan Le, I am originally from China and have been in the United States for over 20 years. I live in Rochester and work at Mayo Clinic as a research scientist in a wonderful team and I really like my job. I have always loved taking care of children. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, dance, art, craftwork, hiking and reading. I also like gardening and like many of my neighbors. I have chosen to grow wildflowers in their yards instead of traditional lawns. The flowers make our community beautiful and support pollinators and our ecosystem in general. I look forward to having the opportunity to share with my own child the beauty of the world and life and to help them to grow to be healthy and happy adults. Thanks for taking the time to learn about me, if you are interested please contact me at 507-319-2698 or le.yuan@mayo.edu.

Hello, we are Asha, Charlie and Jules! Thank you for choosing to read our story and learning more about our family as a prospective home in Minneapolis. Asha & Charlie met in 2007 in Costa Rica and we quickly became life-long travel companions, working and learning together ever since. Together, we have lived and worked in South America, Asia, the Middle East and Europe. We were blessed beyond belief when we adopted our son Jules in November 2019. After a year in the US, Jules moved with us to Amman, Jordan where he spent almost three years seeing some of the beauty of the region before we came home to Minneapolis.
Becoming parents has been our greatest adventure yet! Having been so blown away by the love and fulfillment we derive from raising Jules, we would dearly love to extend our family and welcome another child into our home.

Hi! We’re the O’Rourke Family—Scott, Laura, Big L, Little L, & Rosie—from Rochester, MN. Every Sunday (rain or shine!), we start the day with donuts and spend time exploring nature, building epic blanket forts at home, or head out to the children’s museum or library. We’re so grateful to be on this journey to grow our family through open adoption. We believe in love, honesty, and lifelong connection, and would be honored to walk this path with you.

Martha & Zoé

We have been together since 2010 and have always known that we’ve wanted to grow our family through adoption. We have called the Twin Cities home for the past decade and live in an old neighborhood of Saint Paul. We love doing house projects and most recently renovated our entire kitchen ourselves. Zoé is the artistic director of a ballet company, and Martha is an assistant professor in neuroscience. Our community of friends and family is composed of varied backgrounds and interests. We love traveling and enjoy spending time with our family, friends, and our three cats - Milou, Bradley, and Frederick.

We're Adam and John! We live with our cats - Broccoli and Morticia - in South Minneapolis. We love living in a vibrant city that has easy access to nature. Adam is an educator, a musician, and an athlete who coaches teachers after many years in the classroom. John is a trained pastry chef, a woodworker, and a potter who owns a data consulting business. We're both indoor cats at heart, who love coming home after a long adventure. John cooks and empties the litter box, and Adam cleans and takes care of the yard. We enjoy sitting by the fire, going on lots of walks, having dinner parties with our friends, and listening to records.

We’re Jesse and Garrett, and we’ve been married since 2020. From early on in our relationship, we knew we wanted to grow our family through adoption. While we didn’t grow up in Minnesota, we now call the Twin Cities home and live in a character-filled neighborhood in South Minneapolis. We love working on home projects together including remodeling most of our home since buying it in 2019. Jesse works as a marketing director in agricultural marketing, Garrett as a professor in agricultural marketing. Our circle of friends and family is warm and deeply supportive. We love to travel, host dinners, and spend time with our nieces and nephews in Mississippi and Illinois.

Hello! We are Brittany and Will. Our home is full of joy because of our beloved pets. We have a cheerful five-pound chihuahua named Frank who loves children and brings us endless happiness. Two cats, Echo and Lacuna, provide many opportunities to laugh with their mildly chaotic playfulness. Our three zebra finches fill the house with their songs and beauty. While our aquarium, home to lively zebra danios and curious mystery snails, adds a touch of calm.

Hello! We are Nikko and Alex. We have been married for almost five years and have been together as a couple for almost 10! We live in a quiet and cozy community near the southwest metro. We have three rescue cats named Appa, Momo and Courage. We both currently work as social workers for a nonprofit agency. When we are not working, you will usually find us relaxing at home, going to cultural events and celebrations, spending time with family and friends or traveling around the world. Other shared hobbies include hiking, video games, going to concerts and trying new foods and restaurants.

Having children has been a shared goal of ours since the beginning of our relationship and we have built our life purposefully towards this goal. We strive to foster an environment of open communication, empathy, cultural awareness and advocacy and a balanced life. We are excited to continue on the journey to adoption.

Hi! We're Tescia and Andrew. We have two children who were born to us in 2020 (daughter) and 2022 (son). We live in a western suburb of Minneapolis. As a family we love fun, adventure and being together! Whether we're exploring a new park or splash pad, planning a class playdate or school fundraiser or having friends or neighbors over for a backyard gathering, we enjoy being active and surrounding ourselves with incredible community.

We both love to travel, and Africa, Switzerland, Charleston, Colorado, and Scotland top the list of our favorite places. We also listen to audiobooks, and Andrew loves fantasy fiction while Tescia likes regency romance, especially anything written by Jane Austen. We also enjoy spending time with our family and friends and being outside.

Hi there! We're Claire, Andy, Luke (8) and Des (4)! We live on a quiet acreage with Max, our loving and mischievous beagle and our two turtles. We love animals, sports, LEGOs, being outdoors, the water, family adventures, and watching movies - oh, and Des wants to add “dinosaurs!” Our little family was built through open adoption and both boys are hoping so badly to be upgraded to “big brother” status someday soon!

We never knew we could love as deeply as we do until we met these beautiful boys and their families! We hope that Luke, Des and any other children that someday join our family grow up never doubting the unconditional love that surrounds them every day. Our children have grown up knowing their adoption stories from birth. We talk freely and openly about adoption with the boys, embrace their unique heritages, and enjoy a very positive and open relationship with their birth families - we're so thankful for in-person visits, phone calls, gift exchanges and regular texts! They're extensions of our family and we love them dearly. We hope to build a positive and open relationship with you too, if that is your wish.

Thank you for taking the time to consider our loving family for your child. We’re looking forward to getting to know you! 💕

– Claire & Andy (Luke, Des, & Max too!)
