dear expectant mother
We are extremely excited and grateful you are looking at our profile. We appreciate the time you are taking to get to know us, and we want to thank you for considering us as parents. There are not enough words to tell you of the gratitude in our hearts.
We can’t imagine the process you are going through in making this decision, but we believe there is something that has guided you to look at our profile. The decision to allow someone else to raise your child is the most selfless act a mother can do, and we want you to know we are willing to answer any questions you may have.
We look forward to making many memories by sharing holiday traditions and going on family outings together. We are excited for this child to get to know the many cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents they will have in their life. We will give them all the love and support any parent can. We will guide them throughout their life and help them achieve their dreams. We look forward to getting to know you through this process and appreciate you taking this time to get to know us and considering us as parents.
About Us
As a workforce case manager, Amy helps individuals in generational poverty, with addiction issues, or who are incarcerated go through trainings to develop skills and gain a job with a living wage. She is sometimes called their cheerleader! Kai drives a truck and delivers steel to companies in our tri-state area but is home every night. We met 14 years ago, when Amy was taking care of Kai’s ill father in a nursing home as a certified nursing assistant. Not long after, we ran into each other again and decided to have coffee. We’re still having coffee together 13 years later! We dedicate time to our church, people in recovery, our community, and each other. We enjoy spending time with friends and family, and as a couple, we go on motorcycle trips, sometimes with friends and sometimes just with each other. We also enjoy the occasional hockey game.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a three-bedroom ranch-style home with a large fenced-in backyard. Our neighborhood is quiet, safe, and close to our local schools and many parks. Our diverse community has many family-friendly activities to engage and teach children new things. We also have two dogs, named Buck and Diego. Buck is a blue-heeler puppy we recently got. He keeps Diego and us on our toes. He is mischievous, playful, and full of love! Diego is a chihuahua mix who was rescued and loves laying in the sun while he takes his naps.
Our Extended Family
Amy’s parents live on a small farm only 20 minutes from us. She has one brother and four sisters, all of whom are married and have children, for a total of 20 nieces and nephews. All of her siblings and their families live within an hour of us, so we get together a lot for birthdays or holidays with big family meals. We usually spend this time visiting, playing outdoors, or playing games with everyone.
Kai’s parents have unfortunately both passed away, but his stepfather lives about 10 minutes from us. We enjoy eating meals and spending some holidays with him. Kai also has a sister who lives a few hours from us. We talk to her on the phone weekly and visit a few times a year. Kai has three children who all live close by and come over occasionally to have a meal or watch a movie.
We are very close to both sides of our families. They are all very excited about and supportive of our adopting a child.
What Led Us To Adoption
After many tests and fertility treatments, we learned we were unable to conceive, and this led us to the decision that adoption was where our journey was leading us. We have a strong belief that God is leading us on this journey, and we could not be more excited to be on it. We have a number of friends who have been adopted, and they highly encouraged us, knowing the love and support we could give to any child. We are excited about the opportunity to enrich our lives as well as the life of a beautiful 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!
