Dear Birthmom
We can only imagine how many mixed emotions you may be experiencing right now. It is truly a great thing you are doing, bringing this little wonder into the world, and we are so thankful for both you and your child!
We’re honored to have you look at our profile and consider us as adoptive parents for your baby. We are very excited about embarking on the journey of parenthood. We want to grow our family and share our love with your child throughout their life. During the 16 years we have been in love, we always knew adoption would play a part in our family plan. We look forward to sharing the many joys in life with your child while working hard to provide them with the tools they will need as they grow into an adult.
We want to assure you we will welcome your little one with open arms and big hearts, providing lots of love along the way. We have worked to build a house full of love that we cannot wait to experience with your child as their adoptive parents. We understand parenting is a lifelong journey that requires patience, nurturing, and guidance. We want to give your child every opportunity we can so they can be happy and thrive.
Thank you again for considering us to parent your child. We have lots of love that we look forward to sharing with a new baby.
About Us
We met in college and have been together for 16 years. We were married two years ago and enjoyed having our many friends and family participate in the wedding. Aaron is a loyal and loving person. He is a professional musician and works with kids, ages four through 18, in both church and school environments. One of his greatest joys is having the privilege of playing the great organ in the National Cathedral on a regular basis! Aaron looks forward to the chance to teach a child how to play the piano. Matt is a fun, thoughtful, creative, and loving person. He is a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist and loves caring for patients in the surgical setting every day.
Together, we love to travel and have enjoyed touring Spain, Italy, New Orleans, Charleston, and Miami together. In addition to traveling, we enjoy going to concerts, trying new food, and spending time with friends and family.
Our Home & Pets
Last year, we purchased our first home in a family-friendly and diverse neighborhood, located outside our nation’s capital. We have a three-bedroom townhome in a neighborhood with many children. Knowing we planned to pursue adoption, we made sure our home could accommodate a little one. We were fortunate to find a place across the street from one of our neighborhood parks. Many families will bring their children to the playground there each day and we look forward to joining them. Our neighborhood pool is close by, and we look forward to taking a little one there in the summer.
We have a standard poodle, Toby, who we enjoy taking for walks in the neighborhood or watch chase sticks in the park across the street. Toby loves getting to meet children on his daily walk and is always patient and sweet with them.
Our Extended Family
Matt grew up in Indiana with his parents and an older sister. Matt’s family is very close and enjoys spending time together for many family functions throughout the year. Unfortunately, Matt’s sister passed away after battling cancer. Matt was there to care for her every step of the way and is grateful for the time he had with her. Today, Matt’s parents live in the same area we do and are so excited about getting to play with a new grandchild. Matt’s extended family is in the southeast and northeast. We visit Matt’s grandmother and aunt a few times a year.
Aaron grew up in southern California with two parents and a younger brother. He also had the privilege of growing up with his Filipino grandparents as a young child, then later in high school. Aaron’s parents and brother are still in California and we get to visit them or they come visit us a couple of times a year. His extended family is in northern California, including his two uncles, who we like to see every year. Our extended families look forward to the new addition to the family as this will be the first grandchild for both families!
What Led Us To Adoption
We’ve learned how to love and support and grow from our families. Since the first time we talked, we knew we were on the same page about starting our own family. This network of love and support is such an important part of our lives and we want to be able to share this love with a child. Adopting a child will give us this opportunity and we are ready to start this journey with you and your 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!
