dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
The first words that come to mind when we think of you are gratitude and courage. We know what you are considering is not an easy decision, and we admire not only your strength but your compassion. If you choose us, we would be honored to walk with you and support you as much as you’re comfortable with. We understand the sacrifices you are making for your baby, and we want to make sure your needs are met.
We are so grateful you are considering us, and we want to assure you we would provide a loving and supportive home. We decided to adopt because our love has grown and blossomed, and we have so much of it to share. We are thrilled by the thought of adding another special member to our growing family and rejoice in the idea of being able to love and be loved by another precious baby.
Our love for each other knows no bounds, and the same goes for our daughter and any future child we’re blessed to welcome into our home. Again, we are incredibly excited and forever grateful for you considering us to love your baby.
Josh and Andrea
About Us
We are a fun, outgoing couple who love spending our time with family, friends, and, above all else, our five-year-old daughter, Molly. Josh is an attorney, and Andrea works in client services for a finance company. Our everyday activities include walking our dogs, watching movies, finding fun ways to spend time together and Molly’s many extracurricular activities. We enjoy cooking and eating dinner together, where we catch up on each other’s day and then help Molly with homework. We often host gatherings for our loving family and friends on the weekends. We also both enjoy the beach and being on the water.
Our Home & Pets
We live in Florida. We have a four-bedroom, three-bathroom house that sits in a cul-de-sac in a great neighborhood. We are across the street from the local elementary school. We have a pool, jacuzzi, swingset (Molly refers to this as her “park”), outdoor kitchen, and firepit where we have spent many evenings making smores. We have three dogs: Stabler (Great Pyrenees/husky mix), Benson (poodle), and Joe (Yorkie). Molly also has a horse named Riley that we keep at a local stable and do weekly riding lessons. We live less than ten minutes from the beach, where we often go to play in the water or enjoy dinners and watch sunsets together.
Our Extended Family
Josh’s family lives about six hours away. Josh’s favorite family tradition is their annual trip down to Key West to go fishing and lobstering as well as visiting the delicious restaurants down in the area! While Josh’s family is a few hours away, they are constantly in contact and always offering love and support for our family.
Andrea comes from a BIG family! She has three sisters and one brother, multiple nieces and nephews, and even two great-nephews and a great-niece on the way. Most of her family live close by. One of our nieces works as a nanny for Molly, taking her to various afterschool activities before we come home from work. Josh and Andrea’s brother are best friends, and we can often be found doing stuff with him, his wife, and their two boys. Andrea’s mom is truly her best friend and the greatest Gigi to Molly.
What Led Us To Adoption
Due to medical reasons, we are unable to carry another biological child but know we are meant to be parents again; our daughter can't wait to be a big sister either! Josh was incredibly supportive of this decision and said that Andrea’s health came first. We knew we wanted our family to continue to grow and that the path that would be right for us would present itself. Recently a friend of Andrea’s adopted a baby boy, and she really encouraged us to research adoption, which is how we ended up at Angel Adoption.

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!
