Alfieri, an artist, and Clark, a writer, decided to combine their skills. Alfieri drew what would later become the design for their first greeting card -- a mother and child hugging above the earth -- and asked Clark for a line to go with it.

\"It said, 'In this great, wide world, we found us,'\" Clark recalled. \"And then we went, 'Oh, that's adoption right?' You find each other in the world and you come together and you become family.\"

By 2018, the pair had designed concept sketches for their first set of cards and sold them to a local adoption agency. In February 2020, they officially launched a website for Adoptionly Yours, complete with an online store.

Currently, Adoptionly Yours offers a selection of 112 greeting cards, all aimed at adopting families, birth parents, foster parents and children, social workers and supportive loved ones. The cards are also inclusive, featuring images of families with two moms, two dads and people of color.

As for how they come up with new designs, Alfieri and Clark base it around where they see a need and draw inspiration from other people's stories.

\"What I like to do is to get into the heart,\" Alfieri said. \"What are we trying to say here both visually and through words? How are we going to connect to the person that's receiving the card? Is this going to speak to that moment in their journey?\"

\"We think deeply about what it is we're trying to speak to,\" Clark added.

Through their cards, Alfieri and Clark aim to provide a pathway to understanding, education and empathy for all those involved in the adoption process. In addition to expanding their line of cards, the two hope to one day offer inspirational prints and create picture books for children that talk about the meaning of family.

\"These greeting cards create the opportunity for people to connect in ways that'll really help them and celebrate this really important journey to motherhood that hasn't been supported before,\" Alfieri said. \"We just created this opportunity for people to love each other through greeting cards.\"

\"There's so much to love and understand,\" Clark added. \"There's hurt, difficulty, and worry but at the end of the day, it's about loving a child. It's people loving each other and people coming together for the love of a child.\"
