dear expectant mother
We know you are considering making one of the hardest decisions of your life, and we are incredibly grateful for the time you are taking to discover a little more about our family. We sincerely believe it takes a lot of strength, courage, and unconditional love to make an adoption plan for your child. Regardless of your choice, we will have you and your family in our prayers.
We have been married for almost 14 years and are the parents of a nine-year-old girl, Anna, who is glowing with the possibility of having a brother or sister. The best experience of our lives is being parents, and we would love to go through this experience again through adoption. Our little family is very close to each other; respect and love are the basis of our relationship. These attributes also give us peace of mind as each of us knows we will get unconditional support when the challenging moments of life come.
Our hearts are full of love toward expectant parents, and we would be delighted to have you as part of our lives, if you wish. We would love to share photos, milestones, and daily experiences. We thank you very much for considering us as a family for your baby, and we are excited about the opportunity to welcome your precious baby into our lives.
About Us
Our story began 21 years ago, when we volunteered as high school students at a nursing home, and that's when we fell in love. We got married in 2005, and in 2010 our daughter was born. Marcus is a software development manager. He’s responsible, hardworking, intelligent, and loving, and he enjoys playing video games in his spare time. Aline is a preschool teacher. She is cheerful and creative, painting in her spare time, and she loves to learn new things. We value our family time very much. We spend the weekends playing silly board games, watching movies, or enjoying the outdoors. We love to travel, to learn about new places, and to meet new people from different cultures.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a comfortable four-bedroom home located in a friendly neighborhood in the suburbs. Many children live in our community, and during the summer, they can safely have fun outside riding bicycles, playing hide and seek, and enjoying the warm days.
We have two dogs, Sofia and Bella, who are part of our family. Sofia is 13 and being an older dog, she loves to sleep! Playful Bella was adopted four years ago. They are both loving and enjoy being around us.
Our Extended Family
Our decision to adopt a child overjoys our whole family. We sincerely believe that love is the ingredient for making a family happy, and that adoption certainly brings us. Although we are physically distant from our family, our hearts are connected all the time, whether through thoughts or prayers. And thanks to technology, we can regularly include them in our day-to-day routines. Whenever possible, we travel to visit them, or they come to visit us, it is always very joyful to be with our family. When we moved away from our family members, our friends came to play an essential role in our lives. With them, we celebrate birthdays and holidays, take vacations together whenever possible, and share the daily joys and challenges of life.
What Led Us To Adoption
Adoption has always been part of our plans, even when we were newly married. After our daughter's birth, these plans to adopt were temporarily paused so we could take care of our girl. By the time she was big enough that we could devote most of our time to a baby, these plans returned to our conversations—this time with one additional voice advocating for the growth of our family through adoption. Our daughter is entirely on board with our wish, and she is over the moon with the possibility of having a sibling.

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!
