Colton & Emily

Hi, we’re Colton and Emily! We share a happy and adventuresome life together, always seeking new experiences in new places. We value stability and kindness in our family, and we strive to always have an optimistic outlook on life. We are so excited to begin our adoption journey and can’t wait to give a child a loving and happy home!

Chris & Laura

Hi, we are Chris and Laura! Originally from Texas, we have lived here in Knoxville for 9 years and are excited to grow our family through adoption! We love travelling, skiing, hiking, going to the beach, and spending time with our family and friends. Chris has a fulfilling career as a nuclear engineer. Laura has spent the last 9 years in childcare: working at an after school care program, running a summer camp, and directing a middle school choir. Adopting a child will be the greatest privilege of our lives, and we promise to provide a stable, loving home with plenty of laughter and fun adventures.

Jonny & Susie

We are Jonny and Susie, and we have an incredible adopted son. We had dreamed of adopting for years before discovering our inability to have biological children, which was more confirmation for us that adoption is right for our family. We love being parents and are hoping to adopt again! Both of us come from large families with over 30 cousins. Your child will be immediately accepted and loved and have many close playmates throughout life including his/her brother. We have been married for 13 years and love each other deeply. We lead an active life and are hoping for another child to join us in our many adventures. If you consider us as parents for your child, we promise we will give them a secure, nurturing, fun home.

Daniel & Alexandra

Hi! We are Daniel and Alexandra. We are so excited to grow our family through adoption. We both enjoy spending time outdoors, cooking meals together, and spending time with our two dogs. Our faith is a central part of our life. We promise to provide a safe and loving home that always provides support, empathy, and fun family adventures together. We both have very supportive family and friends who are just as excited to have another member join the family. Thank you for considering us as possible future parents; we are immensely grateful.

Ben & Shelly

Hello! We are Ben and Shelly. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. Ben has two amazing children, and Shelly loves her role as bonus mom. We all love to spend time together, playing games, going on adventures, attending sporting events, or playing with our pup. We laugh a lot and always have a good time! All four of us are excited to start our adoption journey. If you choose us as an adoptive family, we promise to provide a loving, accepting, happy and fun home for your child.

At A Loving Option Adoption, we’re honored to be a part of your adoption journey. From the first steps to this incredible moment of finding your match, we’re grateful to have walked alongside you. Here’s to the beautiful road ahead as your family grows with love and joy!

Many thanks to outside partners and agencies who have also walked with our families through various stages of this process.
