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 vibrant, 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 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.

We’ve been married for four and a half years and love spending time outdoors and playing games together. Our home is full of love, a lively mix of pets (a dog, two cats, a bird, fish, and even snails), and often the smell of homemade bagels.

We live in a cozy home on a quiet street, surrounded by family. We’ve always dreamed of growing our family through adoption, and we’re excited to share our love, curiosity, and everyday adventures with a child. We look forward to encouraging them to explore their interests while always knowing they are deeply loved.

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). Our family of four lives 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 having friends or neighbors over for a backyard gathering, we enjoy being active, being outside with our children, and surrounding ourselves with incredible community.
We both love to travel, listen to audiobooks, and participate in family activities. We can often be found playing or scootering around our cul-de-sac, planning our next family vacation or adventure, dreaming about attending family camp in the summer, camping in our backyard in the fall, or creating memories at every holiday. We recognize our children will only be young once, so we want to enjoy each moment.

Hi there! We're Claire, Andy, Luke (9) 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

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. ❤️

If you’d like to learn more about us, please check out our profile on the CH/LSS website: Lizz and Justin’s Profile. You can also reach out to our adoption worker, Essie Broich, at essie.broich@chlss.org.

Thank you for considering us. We look forward to connecting with you! 🙏

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’re Eli and Mitch!

We live in South Minneapolis and love it! The neighborhood is diverse, and we are a
short walk away from parks, Dairy Queen, Minnehaha Parkway, and Lake Nokomis.

We keep busy with our jobs, our dog Sullivan, friends and extended family. Eli teaches preK-8th grade music, where he directs a children’s choir and the school musical. Mitch works from home for a payments technology company serving Credit Unions. We are often on the go visiting our families on the farm or at the family cabin, making yummy food with friends, walking Sullivan, going for runs and hanging out playing games. We also like to relax and recharge by reading a good book or watching the latest mystery series on Netflix.

We recently took a family trip (9 of us ages 11 to 82!) to Norway to visit family, experience our family histories and take in the spectacular sights. It was two amazing weeks that we will never forget.

We're Tucker (left) and Timmy (right) Besel: two future dads 👬 Our resolve to grow our family through open adoption has never been stronger. This journey has been full of ups and downs, and we can't thank our support network enough for everything you've done for us over the years.

If you're an expectant parent considering an adoption plan: hi there 👋 We know you're going through a lot, and we want you to know we're here for you, whatever that looks like.

We live in North Minneapolis, walking distance from schools, parks, and trails, with two very spoiled dogs (Kona and Salsa) who are ready to share the couch. We're active in our church, love our families, and love what we do: Tucker is finishing his PhD at the University of Minnesota and Timmy is a senior engineer at a biomedical company. A child in our home won't just be cared for and loved; they'll be cherished and celebrated every single day. Even on the late nights with no sleep and exploded diapers in the grocery store.

Want to learn more about us? Visit tuckerandtimmyadopt.com or reach out anytime at (612) 361-7899. We'd love to hear from you. 🧡💚

We live in Northeast Minneapolis and enjoy spending time with our two basset hounds, Gerty and Esther.

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.

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.
