The Cradle has a wonderful group of families waiting to adopt a baby. Here
are some of the letters and pictures our waiting families have compiled as a
way to introduce themselves to you. Rest assured that all of The Cradle's
families have been thoroughly screened to ensure that every baby we place is
going to a safe and loving home.
Craig & Max
We are Max and Craig, fathers of Mosi, and we are excited to continue growing our family. Mosi is also very excited to have a sibling! We think a child feels most “complete” when nurtured with honesty and love. We hope to have a relationship with our second child’s birthparents, sharing his or her growth and important milestones.

Ann & Joseph
This picture says a lot! "Ann & Joe under the Eiffel Tower -- Dec. 2007". Paris was our first adventure together as students back-packing through Europe. We returned last Christmas to take in the architecture, lights, culture...and "The city of love". Through education and travel, we want to expose our children to the world and teach them to treat all human beings... View Family |

BASICS ABOUT US AS A COUPLE
We have been married three years. This is a first marriage for each of us. We each were looking for a partner that would help us grow and a relationship that would weather challenges.

Danny & Bernard
IN AN AIRPLANE OVER THE OCEAN, somewhere between Chicago and London, Danny took a deep breath. "Bernard," Danny said, smiling, as he took out a small box from his bag, "you are the love of my life. Will you marry me?" Bernard gasped and, returning a wide smile, he replied: "Yes! - I love you, too. But you just ruined my plans!" Danny had no idea that B... View Family |

Alyse & Frank
So there we were, dancing up a storm to a classic swing tune at a dance hall in San Jose, California. We talked earlier in the night and I finally got up the nerve to ask her to dance. About midway through the song, I brought her in close and asked her, "So, do you have a boyfriend?" Before she could answer, I swung her out into a long, winding turn and waited with bated breath...

Katie & Rob
Reading bedtime stories, rolling around in a pile of leaves, building a snowman, taking the training wheels off of the bicycle, opening presents on Christmas morning, making cookies on a rainy afternoon, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake…these are just a few of the things in life that we look forward to sharing with a child. We are excited about starting our family through ad... View Family |

Maureen & Keith
Could you imagine a psychologist who likes rehabbing houses, and a wedding planner who loves cooking getting married? These two people have very different talents, yet share so many of the same goals and compliment each other's strengths and weaknesses.
Each of them has high hopes and big dreams. How would their story take shape, and how would a child fit into this picture? If you are cu... View Family |

Hello!
We have a fantastic love story to share with you. We met many years ago in Omaha, Nebraska as kids, were separated, and then fell in love two decades later when we were reunited by good fortune. After Adam's family moved away, we never imagined that we would meet up again in another city, fall in love, get married, and want to create a family. We are Renee and Adam and are ... View Family |
