dear expectant mother
First, thank you so much for taking the time to review our life; we are so thankful to even be considered as the adoptive parents of your child. One can only imagine the wave of emotions you are experiencing as you consider adoption.
If you choose to be part of our story, we will respect what you want that to look like. We would be forever grateful for such an amazing gift of a child, something we both have been dreaming about since we were children.
There aren't enough words to express how much unconditional love your child will receive from us and our extended family, experiencing every passing day of how strong our family bond is. We plan to support your child by knowing where they came from as they grow and learn who they are as a person.
In our home, you, our birth mother, would be spoken of with the utmost respect, love, and gratitude.
No matter what you decide, we wish you the very best in your journey.
Love,
Scott and Abbey
About Us
Hello! We are Scott and Abbey from Illinois. We met in March of 2021 and were engaged by July 2022. We enjoy life in the suburbs, but still have easy access to the excitement of the city. Scott is a kind-hearted gentle giant, who loves to golf and to be outdoors. Both of us love to cook and entertain for family and friends, whether that's at home or on a getaway somewhere. Abbey is so lovable and always puts others first. She loves walking our rescue pup Stella and chatting with the dog community in the neighborhood. Scott works for an international logistics company in the Ocean Export department. Abbey is a behavior analyst providing clinical support to individuals with disabilities. She works as a consultant, allowing her to make her own hours and work from home a few days a week, offering great flexibility for family time.
Our Home & Neighborhood
We currently live in a cozy two-bedroom home by a lake that offers great amenities to families. Our favorite is the community pools and walking trails for Stella. We are in a safe area with great schools and a cute downtown. Scott's mom, dad, step mom, and 2 of his brothers live within 10-20 minutes of us.
We decorate for all holidays, especially Christmas. Scott tends to go over the top in decorations and, as you may have noticed in our photos, he has lots of festive shirts to celebrate! One tradition we have started together is cutting down a fresh tree from a Christmas tree farm. We can't wait to share this experience with our new little one.
Our Family & Friends
We are very lucky to have such an amazing extended family along with friends who are considered family. We are all a great support system for each other. Abbey and Scott adopting a child will be the first grandchild for both sides. Everyone is beyond excited to see who the new addition will be.
Our close friends have kids, and we cherish being Auntie Abbey and Uncle Scott to them.
Scott is the 3rd of 5 siblings. Growing up, the kids always looked forward to family movie night every Saturday night. Scott and his 2 older brothers were also in Boy Scouts and would often go tent camping to National Parks with their mom. We look forward to continuing this tradition.
Abbey has a younger sister, cousin, and both parents who live out of state, but they chat often and visit whenever possible. Abbey's family has a summer cottage by the ocean, so everyone coordinates schedules for beach days and seafood feasts together.
Abbey's family tradition every Christmas morning is making monkey bread to enjoy while opening presents. The only difference now is Abbey is in charge of making it.
What Led Us To Adoption
We have struggled with infertility, however, through that journey it only brought us closer as a couple. It was very apparent we were still excited for the opportunity to love and raise a child together and to instill the values we believe will support them through all the lessons life has to offer. We have close family friends on both sides who have been adopted or been through the adoption process and have shared their positive experiences with us.

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!
