Profiles
This presentation is designed for birth parents to review as they search for an adoptive family. Michael Smith is a graphic designer and professional photographer who creates modern, thoughtfully crafted adoption profiles that are both distinctive and deeply personal to each family.
Agency partners and clients consistently share that “his profiles are thorough, creative, and present beautifully, while remaining easily accessible when it matters most—getting the profile in front of birth parents.”
Once the profile is completed, it is emailed to the adoptive family for review. Families are encouraged to go through the profile page by page and provide detailed feedback or requested changes. The profile fee includes one printed hard copy, a digital copy on disc, and up to three rounds of revisions. Additional revisions beyond the three included rounds may incur an additional charge.
Michael’s priority is ensuring that families are genuinely happy with their profile. Each profile is thoughtfully designed to reflect the family’s unique style and personality, as well as Michael's professional experience working closely with birth parents. Families are encouraged to share any preferred styles, fonts, or color palettes at the start of the process.
Before the final draft is completed, each profile is reviewed by a former birth mother to ensure it resonates authentically from a birth parent’s perspective. Working collaboratively with the family, Michael blends professional expertise with personal creativity to produce a compelling profile—one that a birth mother can quickly connect with and feel confident choosing.
A detailed questionnaire for profile text, along with a list of requested photographs, will be provided to guide families through the process.
