Your Profile Is Your First Impression.
Make It Unforgettable.
That’s what you’re hoping to say about the adoption process in the near future. You just survived all the ups and downs of fertility treatment (which should honestly garner you some kind of medal), and now you’re in a good headspace to adopt. You don’t expect the process to be EASY, but easier than what you’ve already been through would be appreciated. There’s just one hold-up…
This service is for families who are self-networking their adoption journey and want a professionally crafted profile — without the DIY stress. You'll be working with a profile creation specialist we've handpicked to bring your family's story to life.
Already planning on joining our Domestic Adoption Program? You're covered — professional profile creation is built right in. No need to add this to your cart.
The Problem with DIY Adoption Profiles
You've seen the advice: "Just make your profile authentic and heartfelt!"
But here's what they don't tell you:
❌ Birth parents look at dozens of profiles before choosing a family
❌ You have about 30 seconds to make an impression
❌ Poor photo quality, cluttered layouts, and generic text make families blend together
❌ Most families have no idea what makes a profile actually stand out
You could spend weeks trying to design your own profile...
Agonizing over which photos to use, what to write, how to lay it out, whether it's "good enough."
Wondering if you're saying too much. Or not enough. Or the wrong things entirely.
Or.
You could hand it to professionals who've been doing for years and know exactly what works.

Why Professional Profile Creation Matters
For families who plan to self-network, your adoption profile is one of the most powerful tools you have — it's often the first glimpse an expecting mom gets of who you are and what your family is all about.
Some families love the DIY approach. Others would rather hand it off to someone who does this every day. That's exactly what this service is for — a profile-creation specialist we've handpicked will handle the writing, structure, and design so your story comes through clearly and beautifully for your self-network adoption.
What Professional Design Does:
➔ Grabs attention immediately with clean, beautiful layouts
➔ Tells your story visually through strategic photo placement
➔ Builds emotional connection with authentic, well-crafted writing
➔ Stands out in a sea of generic, DIY profiles
➔ Gives you confidence that you're putting your best foot forward
“I want to thank you and Shawna for all you have done for us throughout this portion of our journey. I appreciate all you have done for us and helping us get through this crazy time! Thanks again! You all have been so wonderful to work with!”

How it works
BONUS #1: The Ultimate Home Study Success Guide — $600 value
Say goodbye to home study anxiety! This guide is like having a cheat sheet for the most important test of your life—except it's totally ethical and legal. My clients consistently have social workers asking, "Have you done this before?" while they're secretly wondering if you're some kind of home study savant.
BONUS #2: Adoption Funding Resource Directory — $1000 value
Worried about finances? This directory contains more funding options than your junk drawer has mysterious keys. With over 20+ grants, loans, and creative funding solutions, you'll feel like you've discovered an ATM specifically for adoptive families.
BONUS #3: Red Flag Checklist & Match Meeting Question Guide — $450 value
Never stumble through a match meeting like you're on an awkward first date again! This guide gives you all the right questions to ask without sounding like you're conducting a job interview. It's the difference between confidently building an authentic connection and accidentally asking, "So... do you come here often?"
BONUS #4: My Personal List of Trusted Professionals — $5,950 value
This is my carefully guarded Rolodex of adoption all-stars—the contacts I wouldn't even share with my own sister (sorry, Jen!). After years in the adoption space, I've filtered out the professionals who couldn't find paperwork if it had flashing lights on it, leaving you with a dream team that actually returns calls and remembers your name. These are the experts who make complicated processes feel manageable, not the ones who make you contemplate a career change to become a professional paper-chaser.
BONUS #5: A Professionally Designed Adoptive Profile Book, Website & Video — $2,262 value
Profiles are so good that birth parents will swipe right faster than on dating apps. No more profile books that scream "I made this with clipart from 1997!" A personalized profile of your family that is professionally designed, so no worries if your own artistic skills don't extend beyond stick figures.
BONUS #6: Clear Expert Guidance from a Licensed Professional — Priceless
Throughout this program, you'll have me—someone who can translate "adoption-speak" into plain English. I'm like your personal adoption Yoda (without the weird syntax).
BONUS #7: Future Services Credit Voucher — $2,000 value
Consider this your golden ticket to adoption services! Upon completing this program, you'll receive a voucher good for one year equal to $2,000 that can be applied toward additional qualifying Adoption & Beyond services. Whether it's your Home Study Evaluation or Home Study Case Management Fee (if you're in KS or MO) or the Agency Program Fee (for those who meet eligibility requirements), this credit ensures your investment keeps working for you. Think of it as adoption karma—what you put in now comes back to support your journey later! No complicated redemption process, no fine print written in microscopic font that requires superhuman vision. Just straightforward savings on the next step of your adoption journey with us.
That's over $10,800 in bonuses alone!
Enough value to make your wallet do a happy dance while your adoption journey gets a first-class upgrade.
STEP #1: You Provide the Raw Materials
If you decide to move forward with our professional profile creation, you'll begin with a simple guided questionnaire and submit your favorite photos. (Don't worry — you'll be guided on exactly what's needed.)
Step 2: Your Profile Is Created For You (3-4 weeks)
A team of designers design your PDF profile, builds your website and blog, and posts your profile across adoption platforms.
Step 3: You Review & Approve
You'll be sent everything for review. You can request adjustments to make sure it feels authentically you. Bonus your profile will be reviewed by Steffany Aye herself to provide expert guidance on what looks good and what can be improved upon.
Step 4: Launch & Share
Once approved, you'll receive:
Your print-ready PDF profile
Your website URL and login credentials
Instructions for sharing and using your materials

But here's what we see happen:

20-40 hours of work (design, writing, photo editing, layout)
Steep learning design software or settling for basic templates
Second-guessing every word and photo choice
Printing errors and costly reprints
Profiles that blend in instead of standing out
Professional Route:
2-3 hours of your time (questionnaire + photo selection)
Expert design, and strategy
Confidence that your profile represents you well
Print-ready files for printing a physical profile book
A profile that gets noticed
The question isn't whether you can do it yourself.
The question is whether you should.

Feeling uncertain?
