About Us
We are Chris and Alexia, and we have been married for over five years. Chris is a corporate financial analyst, and Alexia is a teacher in a public school district. Chris enjoys the analytical part of his job, such as working with numbers and formulas, while Alexia enjoys teaching and interacting with children of all ages. On the weekends, we like taking road trips to farmers’ markets, festivals, or any peaceful destination. We like spending time in our home and in our backyard gardening or grilling, especially when the weather is nice. We enjoy going to church, reading, cooking, watching movies, listening to music, walking, riding our bikes around the neighborhood, and spending time with family and friends. Chris enjoys playing sports, running, and exercising, while Alexia enjoys swimming, playing the piano, ballet, and collecting vintage and Christmas treasures.
Our Home & Pets
As a teacher, Alexia believes that education is of paramount importance in a child’s life. For this reason, we sought out a neighborhood that boasts one of the best school districts in our state. Moreover, the library and park district are highly rated and nationally recognized. We live in a beautiful, safe, and friendly neighborhood with many parks, swimming pools, and fun things to do for families. Our backyard is very big, which is perfect for children to play in, and our home is clean, organized, and welcoming. There are a lot of children in our neighborhood, and we often see them playing outside with their friends. It truly is the perfect home and neighborhood to raise a family in!
Our Extended Family
Alexia’s family lives just five minutes away, and her parents are looking forward to becoming grandparents for the first time! They are both recently retired. They are very loving, supportive, and generous people who will be amazing grandparents. Alexia's mom taught in a middle school for 21 years and was loved and respected by all her students. Alexia also has a brother who is married and lives close by. He owns a music school, and his wife is an elementary school teacher. Alexia is blessed to also have two grandparents who also live close by, and they are looking forward to becoming great-grandparents!
Chris’s family resides in the city. His parents emigrated to America from Europe, and they worked hard to start and operate a restaurant business in the city. Food, music, and spirituality are big aspects of his family. Chris has three older brothers and a younger sister. One of Chris’s brothers is a veteran Marine who enjoys playing the guitar; another is a chef who loves to bake for family events.
Family is a big part of our lives, and we often gather together for Sunday dinners and to celebrate birthdays, holidays, and reunions.
What Led Us To Adoption
From the time Alexia was a young girl, she had a desire to adopt a child. Perhaps this is because her parents wanted to adopt but couldn’t afford it at the time. Alexia has an aunt who is adopted and she also has several students who have been adopted, so adoption is very natural and familiar to her. We always had a desire to grow our family because of our love for children, but we were unable to conceive naturally. We viewed this as a sign from God to adopt a baby. After much prayer, we were convinced adoption was meant to be part of our life story.

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!
