dear expectant mother
A hundred years from now, it will not matter how big our bank account was, or how big the house we lived in was, or which car we drove. What matters to us is that we have a life filled with laughter and joy because we are able to build a loving home for a child.
As soon as we knew we would spend the rest of our lives together, we began talking about everything we wanted out of life, which always came back to having a family. We talked about our childhood experiences and how we wanted to recreate that with our children. We committed to raise compassionate and independent children who believed they could do anything they set their hearts and minds on. What we didn’t expect was being told we were unable to have children.
As we write this, we realize we have and are still going through many emotions. Among the emotions, we feel empathy and gratitude, most of all, that you are considering us as adoptive parents for your precious child. We know that to bring a child into our home will be life-changing.
Life is unpredictable, with highs and lows, and with happiness and sorrows. While we cannot predict what the future will hold, we can wholeheartedly promise that, if you choose us, we will give all of our hearts to your child. We will be there to scare away the monsters under the bed, to kiss every cut and bruise, and to be your child’s #1 cheerleader in every life endeavor.
Thank you so much for getting to know us and for considering us as adoptive parents for your baby.
About Us
We met through mutual friends over ten years ago. We found out we had a common love for the Chicago Cubs, for traveling to far away countries, and fo BBQ food. We have been inseparable ever since! We are an affectionate, friendly, and active couple, spending our weekends trying new restaurants in the city, taking our french bulldog Chubs to the dog beach, going to the theatre, and hanging out with family and friends. Bradly runs his family’s company, which makes cookies and snacks for big retailers and grocery stores. Ashley is an executive managing data analytics for a supply chain company.
Our Home & Pets
We own a four-floor, three-bedroom townhome in a very family friendly, urban neighborhood with an amazing school district. Our neighborhood is always active with kids playing outside after school, family block parties, or movies in the park in the summer. The dogs play catch in the local dog park. Another perk is that it is extremely easy to walk to parks, restaurants, and shops.
Our Extended Family
Both of our families live in the same city, so we are fortunate to be able to see them every week for family dinners, birthday, or holidays. Ashley grew up in a very large and boisterous Italian family where every Sunday we would get together for a big italian dinner. Ashley has three siblings and two nephews.
Bradly also grew up with two siblings, and he has three nieces who we are fortunate to be a big part of our lives. Our families celebrate every birthday, anniversary, and graduation together. Family traditions are also very important. For example, every year we take an extended family vacation. During the holidays, our entire family gets together to make gingerbread houses and to drive up north to cut down a christmas tree.
What Led Us To Adoption
Growing up, Ashley had a best friend whose parents were unable to have kids naturally, and they adopted her and her siblings. It touched Ashley to see how much love and joy was within that family. What a blessing it was that the birthmother had provided such a wonderful opportunity that otherwise a couple may not have had. When we found out that we were unable to have our own kids biologically, we knew immediately that we wanted to adopt so we can experience the same joy of a family.

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!
