dear expectant mother
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being so strong and courageous during this difficult time. We can’t even begin to imagine the journey you have been on, but we promise to be here every step of the way.
Having a family has always been a dream of ours, and we thank God every day for having been given this opportunity to grow our family. Rohen has been the biggest blessing, and we are so thankful to be adopting our second child. Thank you for considering us to care for your child. If you choose us, your child will grow up in a safe and loving home. We will support them, love them, and guide them as they grow. We have a playset in our yard where your child can run and play with our puppies. Rohen loves playing with Maple and Bella, our fur babies.
We have so much love to give, and we would be honored to open our hearts and home to your child. We will promise to support them, love them, and put their needs and wants first. We will support you in any level of openness you may choose. We want to raise your child knowing where they came from, supporting them and you from the day we meet and letting them know just how loved they are. Choosing and trusting someone to raise your child requires strength, bravery, and unconditional love. We want you to know, even if you do not choose us, we will pray for comfort and peace as you make your decision.
About Us
We met through mutual friends in 2013 and made it “official” the following year. If we had to describe ourselves, we’d say we are a loving, hardworking, fun, family-oriented couple. We have one daughter, who we adopted two years ago. She has been the best thing to happen to our family. We have an open relationship with her birthmom, and she has become the best addition as well. We are often on the go visiting family, going for ranger rides, or working on our farm. Slow nights include movie nights with popcorn, playing babies with Rohen, or just hanging out as a family. Allie is a registered nurse working full-time at our local public health agency, and Max is self-employed. He owns his own construction business and farms with Allie’s family. Our jobs allow us to put our family first.
Our Home & Pets
We bought a farmhouse three miles from Allie’s dad’s house, where Allie grew up. We remodeled the entire house to make it our home. Our home includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms. We live on a farm with acreage, so we have plenty of room to run. We recently screened in our porch and love a good movie night or eating dinner outside. Rohen loves to drag her toys out on the porch to play. Our favorite thing is to be outside. We love to go for walks, garden, play on our playset, or just relax. We know all of our neighbors and frequently have visitors stop by. We have fur babies that would love to have a second baby around to love on. We can’t wait for your baby to experience everything with us.
Our Extended Family
Our families are the most supportive people we could ask for and are so excited for our adoption. We have a niece and nephew on Allie’s side whom Rohen loves playing with. Allie’s dad lives about three miles away, and her mom, sister’s family, and Max’s parents all live within an hour away. Max’s brother and his wife live in Utah, so we are thankful for FaceTime. Our families play a very big part in our lives, and we see them all frequently.
Our extended family also lives very close, so your child will grow up with many cousins to play with and will have a lot of love and support growing up. A few favorite traditions are renting cabins together every year and having scavenger hunts in the woods that lead to delicious home-cooked meals over the fire. Max loves to smoke food and try new recipes on our grill, so weekends are for great food and family and friend time. We love all our family outings, but hanging with us three is our favorite. We’d love to open our hearts and home to your child to make it four.
Our Adoption Story
After learning that carrying a child would be too risky for both Allie and a baby’s health, we realized it was not the way we were meant to become parents. After many discussions about our potential options, we soon decided God had another plan for us all along. We are so excited we were chosen for this path and cannot wait to complete our family with adopting our second child. We have trusted in God’s plan from the beginning and realize just how lucky we are. Adoption has blessed us with our daughter, Rohen, and her birth mom as extended family to us. We would not have wanted it any other way. We believe everyone should experience adoption and we are lucky enough to get to.

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!
