dear expectant mother
We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering us to be the parents of your baby. We understand that making an adoption plan is a big decision and would be honored to be part of your story. We see you and your choice to pursue adoption as incredibly brave, selfless, and loving.
Family is everything to us. We both come from close, supportive families where everyone is always there for each other. To us, that’s what family is all about, and we’d love to share that value with your baby. We promise to raise your baby with positivity, encouragement, unconditional love, and endless support. If you’re open to it, we would love an open adoption where your baby would have even more love and support. We believe that your baby should know their story, know about you, and know your love.
We are so excited to start our family through adoption and for the joy a baby will bring to our lives. We look forward to creating a lifetime of memories consisting of daily laughs, family get-togethers, summers at the lake, adventure and travel, and so much love.
Thank you again for considering us to be the proud and loving parents of your baby!
About Us
Hi! We are Sara and Andy! We met over 10 years ago as freshmen in college and have been married since 2016. Andy is an options trader who balances his hardworking nature by being so fun-loving. This is especially obvious when he’s playing games with our nieces or running around with our dog, Ace. He’s a huge sports fan, and you’ll always find him cheering on his favorite teams. Sara is patient, gentle, and compassionate. Her passion for helping others shines through in her career as a healthcare marketer. She enjoys yoga, hosting friends and family at our home, and reading outside on the patio. Together we love to experience new things. In cities near and far, we enjoy checking out museums, experiencing the outdoors, and finding the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants. Although we love to explore, we cherish Friday night movies at home and long walks with Ace just as much.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a spacious single family home in the city. We have five bedrooms, a finished basement ready to be used as a playroom, and a large rooftop deck. Our neighborhood is filled with families, and we are a short walk away from several parks and playgrounds. We also recently bought a lake cottage just a couple hours from home. We look forward to spending quality family time there swimming, playing outside, and having bonfires.
Our dog, Ace, is a people lover who thinks he’s a lapdog. He’s wonderful with kids and loves to give out puppy kisses. When the weather is nice, we enjoy walking Ace around our neighborhood, where there are always festivals and other activities.
Our Extended Family
We have an amazing, supportive family that means the world to us! Both sides are so excited about our adoption journey and can’t wait to welcome a new member into the family.
Sara comes from a large, close-knit family with three sisters and two brothers. Her parents and all of her siblings live in a neighboring state, and we have family gatherings often. Whether for a holiday, a birthday, or just because it’s been a while, we love coming together and celebrating as a family. At Christmas, we love to bake batches of her mom’s famous poppy seed bread to share with everyone we know.
Andy is the oldest of three siblings, with one sister and one brother. Nearly all of his family live within an hour’s drive, and we see them regularly for dinners and other get-togethers. When together with his family, we enjoy watching baseball, playing board games, and listening to vinyl records. Two of our favorite holiday traditions are spending Thanksgiving at Andy’s parents’ home with his extended family and hosting Easter at our home.
What Led Us To Adoption
Before getting married, we discussed adoption as part of our plan to grow a family. Sara’s oldest brother is adopted, so adoption has always been close to our hearts. After trying to start a family for a couple years and facing unexplained infertility, we decided adoption would be the way we start, not just grow, our family! We are excited to be on this journey and can’t wait to share all the love we have.

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!
