Parent Profiles

Check us out: Shane and Megan on Parent Profiles!

Many of you have asked at one point or another if you could give us a recommendation or referral for adoption, so that prospective birth parents would know that we have loving family members and friends who not only support us in our adoption efforts, but would recommend us as adoptive parents. Until now, there wasn't really a way to do that. However, we now have an online profile with a website called Parent Profiles that allows family members and friends to make contributions to a profile. Parent Profiles is just what it sounds like -- profiles of prospective adoptive parents for prospective birth parents to search through. The reason why we are interested in Parent Profiles is that we can get a lot of exposure from it. According to their pamphlet, "ParentProfiles.com works with top adoption web sites such as Adoption.com, Adoption.org, Crisispregnancy.com, Adopting.org and Birthmother.com to ensure maximum availability and exposure for your profile." They claim to be "The #1 Registry of Adoption Parent Profiles." We have known about Parent Profiles for several years, but have waited until now to use it because we had not felt it was right before. We now feel it is the right time for us to be on Parent Profiles and we are prayerful that the right connections will be made.

One of the features through Parent Profiles is a section called "Journal." It is suggested that the journal section of our profile include "things family members and friends have to say about you, your love for children, and your unique ability and desire to be a parent." And so, if you feel so compelled, we would invite you to leave a comment on this blog post with a contribution. We know you are all busy, so it can be very brief or as long as you want. There is also a spot for a picture with each entry. You can either e-mail a picture of you or your family with your referral, or we can add a picture we already have.

We are eternally grateful
for all of your on-going support and prayers in our behalf!
Much Love,
Shane, Megan, and Carter
