Meet Seth and Nicole

October 18, 2025 by joiningheartsarizona

Hi there! We’re Seth and Nicole. Our love story feels meant to be. Though we lived just a mile apart, it took meeting online for our paths to cross. We felt an instant connection and got engaged within a year. We’ve been married for just shy of five years now and we are truly best friends who love doing life together.

Some of our favorite ways to spend time together are having weekly date nights, traveling, doing renovation projects, going to the gym, watching football, and spending time with our pups Luna and Maya.

Nicole is a bubbly, loving, and caring person who makes our house feel like a home. She works as a teacher and she loves her students with her whole heart. She has one brother and 2 nephews from him. She is always up for a weekend getaway, a good book, or a juicy reality show. Seth is a selfless, supportive, and thoughtful person who always looks out for those he cares for. He works as a project manager to develop applications that ensure drinking water is safe. He has three siblings and 2 nieces/nephews from them. He is always up for a trip to the gym, going fishing, or watching whatever sports game is on.

Seth and I, as well as our extended families, are excited to grow our family through adoption. We’ve struggled with infertility for years; however, we believe that journey happened for a reason. We believe the child that is meant to be ours isn’t supposed to be related by biology, but rather by love. We have so much love to give and are ready to provide a safe, nurturing, and joyful home. We’re so excited to add a little one to the family and give all the cousins another playmate!

Andres and Yulissa

August 5, 2025 by joiningheartsarizona

Hello, we are Andres and Yulissa! We have been married for 7 years and have two dogs. We are hopeful to grow our family through adoption and have always wanted a big family. We have struggled with infertility for 6 years and are so excited to open this new chapter in our lives.

We live in Southern Arizona and have both our extended families within a couple miles of us. It takes a village to raise children, and we are so thankful we have them all nearby. We have 13 nieces and nephews waiting to meet their cousin(s)!

We enjoy going to the gym, on picnics, and love spending our Friday nights watching movies or playing Mario Bros. We love hosting family get-togethers for every holiday! From Easter gathering to Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas parties. We are excited to start new traditions with our future kids and see the magic of each holiday through their eyes.

In our marriage, we respect and admire each other’s dedication and hard work. We make a great team and take care of each other as best we can. We vow to each other, and to you, to be the best versions of ourselves for each other and for our future children. All we wish for our future children is that they always know that they can be whomever they wish to become. That we will always be there to help guide and support them along the way. We will always be praying for their protection and their lives. We wish that they will always know their beautiful story and where they come from. We wish nothing but peace, health and happiness for our children. We will continue to pray for you and your baby, no matter where your heart leads you.

Meet Andy and Tiffany

July 30, 2025 by joiningheartsarizona

Hello! We are a family of 3 hoping to soon be a family of 4. Andy is originally from New Zealand and became a US citizen in 2022. Tiffany is from Chicago and still has family in the Chicagoland area. We adopted River at birth in 2017. We also have 2 dogs named Bingo and Bluey whom we adopted in 2021.

Andy and Tiffany are both college graduates and have worked for different companies as well as owned their own businesses. We both volunteer in River’s sports and school, taking every opportunity to participate in his life that we can.

We are a very open-minded and adventurous family. We love to travel and feel some of life’s greatest lessons can be learned from interacting with people from different cultures. Since his birth, River has traveled internationally twice and has been to 20 different states!

We value family time, love, faith, honesty, hard work and keeping our commitments. We strive for balance in our life in all things. We work hard so we can play hard. Sometimes we go out for ice cream right before dinner and ruin our appetite!

We have been very intentional with the decisions we have made in life to get us to where we are now. We can provide a very comfortable life to a child while being loving, caring, fun and consistent.

We have maintained open communication with River’s biological parents through semi-annual photos and updates. We hope to have the same type of relationship with the parents of any more children we adopt. We have learned that those bonds and the knowledge of “where I came from” are vitally important for all humans.

Hello!

We are Marc and Leah. We met in 2016 and connected immediately over trying new foods and our shared faith. We got married in 2018 surrounded by our loving family and friends. Our favorite things to do are to go camping, find a new restaurant and take our dog, Remi, on walks. He is our sweet pup that we got in 2022. We love the traditions we have together including our fall pumpkin carving contest, making tamales at Christmas and spending time in the summer at the beach in Mexico.

Leah is thoughtful, fun-loving and a true nurturer. She works at a Catholic school as a reading specialist. She loves helping struggling students learn to read. She is always trying a new coffee spot or making a new craft projects. Leah has one brother and a nephew from him. We spend time playing pickleball and board games with her family.

Marc is confident, smart and outgoing. He makes everyone laugh. He is a Senior Economic Development Project Manager for a power company. He loves taking our nephew out to explore nature. Marc has three sisters and they are all very close. We spend time with Marc’s family off-roading and playing in the ocean.

We hope to raise a child that can be themselves. We hope to help them dream big and know that we will support them in that journey. We want them to know their story and how loved they are.

We are excited about the possibility to grow our family through adoption. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us and for considering us to be a part of your journey.
