dear expectant mother
We believe the choice you’re considering is one of courage and selflessness. As difficult as it can be to walk this out, we want you to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we fully understand this isn’t an easy decision. Know that the path you’ve chosen proves your love for your unborn child and your commitment to life itself. Words cannot begin to express how grateful we are, and we are humbled that you would consider us to raise this baby as our own. You reading this profile right now says to us there is truly a connection already that the Lord is working out.
We absolutely cannot wait to show your child the ways of the world and how to grow into a confident, compassionate, and loving person. This is a lifelong process that involves moment-by-moment teaching, mentoring, and caring. We believe in playing sports, learning musical instruments, arts and crafts, or doing anything that can help your child achieve the best version of themselves. Opening your child’s eyes to and exposing them to as much as we can will help them develop into a bright light for this world.
We thank you, again, for this consideration.
About Us
Hi, we’re John and Christine, and we’ve been happily married for 13 years. We met back in our 20’s, dated on and off, then eventually reconnected in 2004. We tied the knot in December of 2005, and, since then, God has taken us on an incredible journey. We do everything together and believe our future family will be the same way. We talk often, making sure we don’t take life too seriously, and together we like to work out, cook, read, and serve our church and our community. Spending lots of time teaching others how to live out their faith serves to grow our own, and we could not ask for anything more.
Our Home & Pets
Our home is located in a safe townhome community close to the mountains. There is a salt-water pool, a fishing pond, and other great families nearby. Our home is three levels with a large finished basement. It offers modern amenities, three spacious bedrooms, and multiple bathrooms. We also enjoy a private deck with a wooded view, and our close family lives only a few doors down. Plus, our hometown has been rated the best place in the U.S. to raise children for the last two years! It’s the perfect place to raise a child, and we cannot wait to begin.
Our Extended Family
We have a huge family with a wide variety of nationalities. Locally, we have one set of parents (Grampy and Joyce), who we are involved with heavily. We also have Christine’s brother, his wife, and our two nieces (ages 15 and 11) who live a few doors down from us. We are intimately involved with them on a fairly regular basis, from taking the kids to a movie, eating dinner together, and to attending some of the kids’ soccer games. We also travel with our family to Disney every year, a tradition we all look forward to.
A large portion of our extended family lives up north, so traveling frequently is a very important tradition, as well, especially during the holiday seasons. We love getting together with everyone, with things getting loud and everyone eating way too much food! Our family consists of great-grandparents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and nieces and nephews, all so excited for us to be adopting!
What Led Us To Adoption
We believe adoption is a plan fully designed by God, and so adoption has always been a part of our plan. It's truly been a journey, and we anticipate God continuing to move us until He brings us the child He has planned for us all along. It was never a matter of if we adopted, but when, and this was more clearly noticeable as the years passed and our relationship flourished. Now, we are excited to finally move forward in this journey and complete our family with a child.

Choose a Family for
Your Baby With Confidence
As you browse our list of hopeful adoptive parents, you can feel confident in knowing that all of the adoptive families working with Angel Adoption are prepared to offer your baby a safe, stable, and loving environment along with a wealth of opportunities for a happy and fulfilling life.
Each adoptive parent has been thoroughly evaluated through a home study course conducted by a licensed agency. A completed home study means the family is emotionally, physically, and financially ready to adopt a baby.
The home study process includes assessments of each parent’s character, marital stability, financial situation, lifestyle, and medical history. The agency also runs background checks to verify there is no record of criminal activity or child abuse. In addition, a social worker will inspect the family’s home to ensure it is a safe environment for a child.
Furthermore, Angel Adoption requires each family to be educated on adopting and parenting. After a baby has been placed with the adoptive family, a social worker will continue to monitor and supervise the family. We go to great lengths to make sure all the families you have to choose from are going to be excellent parents for your baby!
