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!)

Hi! We are Tyler and Jeremy. We have been together since 2017 and happily married since 2021! We currently live in a fantastic home on a cul-de-sac in a little town outside of Rochester, MN. We are excited to be on our journey to grow our family through adoption.

A picture is worth a thousand words (which is more than we can write here), so we hope our pictures help portray who we are and what we are hoping to offer our future child!

We would love the opportunity to connect if you are thinking about adoption! Feel free to check out our website at JeremyandTylerAdopt.com. You can also contact us either via JeremyandTylerAdopt@gmail.com or through our adoption worker Dianne Delaney, Dianne.delaney@chlss.org (or 320-428-0199).

Hello everyone! We’re Lizz and Justin, a married couple of three wonderful years, and we’re excited to share that we are on a journey to adopt through CH/LSS. We live in Southern Minnesota and are blessed with two amazing dogs, Luke and Nala, who bring so much joy to our lives.

We believe in the importance of community and are looking to add to our village of family and friends who are here to support and love us. We love to travel and try new things—whether it's exploring new places or enjoying a cozy night in with a good movie or a new game.

Lizz works on the admin team for a Christian school in our area, where she enjoys making a positive impact every day. Justin is a retired Marine who now works for our local YMCA as a maintenance professional, ensuring everything runs smoothly.

We understand the difficult decision that lies ahead for expectant mothers and are incredibly thankful for the opportunity to share our hearts with you. We would love to meet you and show our openness and commitment to the world of adoption, as well as being there for everyone involved in this journey. ❤️

Hi! We are Brad, Laura and Owen—a caring, blended family whose bond is built on love, respect and shared adventures. We embrace life through travel, time at the cabin, cooking, family game nights and showering our pets with affection. Nurturing Owen’s growth has filled our lives with love and purpose, and we can’t wait to share that same devotion with another child.

Hi, we are Cole and Teresa! We have been together since 2018 and were married in a small ceremony with our families in 2020! We live in Northeast Minneapolis and enjoy spending time with our two basset hounds, Gerty and Esther. In our free time, we like to go on hikes, browse antique stores, try a new recipe or spend time outside in our garden. We love seeing live music, movies and going to a new restaurant on date nights. Family hikes, camping trips and any reason to get out in nature helps us recharge!

Teresa works remotely in fashion design, is passionate about sustainability, enjoys baking bread and spending time crafting. Cole works in retail store management, loves a good joke, is a huge Lego fan, movie buff and master of the grill. We also love to host theme parties or dinner parties with friends and family.

Carrie and Douglas love living in their west-metro neighborhood because they are surrounded by a great network of neighbors with whom they spend their free time with. They have two loving dogs named Aspen and Willow. Carrie enjoys spending some of her free time in the summer volunteering at a National Wildlife Refuge and Douglas spends his time remodeling their home. Carrie and Douglas enjoy traveling internationally and enjoy going on road trips across the country as well. When not traveling, they also love to just hang out at home with the dogs by the fireplace, cheer for the Vikings, or watch a good movie.
