New Life Adoptions

We have a new waiting family!

Hi, we’re Oga and Nicole.

We’re deeply grateful for the opportunity to grow our family through adoption. This journey is something we don’t take lightly—it’s rooted in love, faith, and a genuine desire to provide a safe, nurturing, and joy-filled home.

Our story began in the parking lot of a small church in Stone Mountain, Georgia, and nearly 12 years later, we’re still building a life centered on God, purpose, and each other. Oga is an instructional design engineer and also helps lead a foundation that creates opportunities for college students in Nigeria to share God’s love through music and community outreach. Nicole is a life coach with a private practice, walking alongside women and teens as they grow in their personal and spiritual lives. We both work from home, which allows us to be present, intentional, and deeply involved in the life we’re building.

Our home is filled with laughter, music, and connection. We love traveling, movie nights, sports, dancing in the living room, quiet walks, and getting lost in a good book. Oga brings a thoughtful, steady presence—he’s the scholar of our home—while Nicole brings creativity, warmth, and energy.

Family means everything to us. We’re both very close to our families and cherish time spent celebrating birthdays, holidays, and everyday moments together. We’re also actively involved in our church community, where we’ve both had the privilege of serving—Nicole with youth, media, and missions, and Oga through small group leadership.

More than anything, we want to say thank you. We see your strength, your courage, and your love. We are praying for you, and we honor whatever this journey looks like for you. We would be truly grateful for the opportunity to meet you and, in some way, become part of your story.

Will I Have a Relationship with My Child if I Place Them for Adoption?

As an expectant mother or birth mother, you can determine how much contact you wish to have with your child after placement. By choosing the adoption plan that works best for you, you’ll have the opportunity to have a relationship with your child and their adoptive family.

At New Life Adoptions, an adoption specialist works closely with you to create a specific plan that gives you the type of contact you desire. Let’s review those plans and see how each one can impact a future relationship.

Three Types of Adoption Plans
Your first step is to create an adoption plan that reflects your comfort level and your wishes. We work with families who are committed to ongoing connection, if that’s what you want.

Open Adoption
If you wish to have immediate contact with the adoptive family and you’re willing to share identifying information, select an open adoption. You’ll stay directly connected.

Openness can take the form of phone calls, letters, emails, or even personal visits. You select an adoptive family that wants the same type of communication and exchange the amount of information you wish to share. It is important to note that while option adoption can be agreed upon continued contact it is not legally enforceable in the state of Texas. However, New Life will always advocate for your adoption plan. Adoptive Families sign a covenant with us to stay in contact with you.

Closed (or Confidential) Adoption
A closed adoption means that you have no plan to continue contact after placing your child. If you are looking for a closed adoption, New Life Adoptions and the adoptive family will respect your wishes. You also may wish to initiate contact at some point after placement, and that is up to you as well.

However, statistics show that 90-95% of adoptions today include some form of openness. A completely closed adoption is rare.

Semi-Open Adoption
A semi-open adoption plan is a bridge between open and closed adoption, with communication facilitated through New Life Adoptions. You and the adoptive family communicate with one another, but you do not have direct contact with them.

A semi-open plan provides a level of privacy that many birth mothers and adoptive families find comforting in the beginning. At New Life, all adoptions begin with this plan and move to an open adoption after six months.

Building Relationships Through Contact
Both adoptive parents and birth families have doubts and fears about the benefits of openness in their adoption. Adoptive parents fear their child won’t bond correctly and that the birth mother will fight to get her child back. Birth mothers fear that seeing their child will make it harder and confuse their child.

We have a new waiting family!

Hi there!

We are Joshua and Jessica!
We met playing volleyball at church and hit it off with our love for sports and humor. We started dating in 2015 and got married in 2020.

We have walked a difficult road with infertility, but adoption has always been something we wanted to pursue.

We don’t know your story, but we already have so much respect for you. Considering adoption takes incredible courage, and we want you to feel supported.

If chosen, we promise to love your child wholeheartedly and raise them in a home rooted in faith, joy, and strong family values. We will remind them often of how loved they are—not just by us, but by you—and how their story began with a brave and selfless decision.

We would honor whatever level of openness you’re comfortable with and always speak of you with kindness and gratitude.

Our prayer is simple: that God would guide you, give you peace, and write a beautiful story for all of us.

Babies are sweet, precious and wonderful but maybe now is not the time for you to be a mom. That's ok! Parenting is hard and we understand.
We have families that want to walk with you and your baby for life (if that is your wish).
