dear expectant mother
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We cannot imagine all the feelings and questions you may have. Please know we are already praying for you and your baby. Even if you do not choose us, we are still inspired by your courage and are praying you find peace in your decision.
If you choose us as your child’s adoptive parents, we promise to always honor you by making sure your baby knows the sacrifice you made for them. Your baby will have unconditional love and support while we guide him or her through life’s ups and downs. We are excited to share new traditions as well as old ones we had as kids, such as pumpkin patches, going to the zoo, trips to Disney World, Thanksgiving dinner, and Christmas mornings with family. But we also know the small things are important too, like snuggling at bedtime, watching movies, reading books, and cooking together.
We know this is a difficult decision and want to make sure you are fully comfortable throughout this process by answering any questions you may have. We appreciate the sacrifice you are making for your baby and want you to know he or she will be surrounded by love and family. Thank you so much for reading our profile and learning a little bit about our lives and family. We are so grateful you are considering us to be adoptive parents for your baby.
About Us
Charles was born in the countryside of Arkansas and raised to be a hard worker who treats everyone fairly. He loves reading, learning new things, and relaxing on a quiet day. He works in IT fixing and reprogramming computers for the military. Ashley was born in Texas, raised by her single mom in the early years, and then adopted by her dad at the age of four. They taught her to put faith, love, and family first. She is a special education teacher for second grade students. She loves them like they are her own. Education is very important to both of us, and we love to read. Storytime is a must in our home. She has summers off, which will give us more time to do family vacations and fun new traditions. We LOVE holidays, so pumpkins, turkey, and Christmas mornings will be “kind of a big deal.”
Our Home & Pets
We live in a suburban neighborhood with many military families and lots of kids running around. We have a four-bedroom home with two full bathrooms and a big backyard with plenty of room for a playhouse. We live 10 minutes from Ashley’s parents, which is convenient for family dinners and cookouts. What really makes our house a home is our family and traditions. Our living room has a big couch that is great for snuggles and watching Disney movies with popcorn. Our pets also bring a lot of love and enjoyment. Rosie is a German shepherd mix, and Daisy is a Boston terrier mix. They love to play outside and cozy up on the couch to relax with us.
Our Extended Family
Ashley was born to a single mother who then married the love of her life, who adopted Ashley when she was four. This was very special as she celebrated having a new dad by taking him to Show and Tell in kindergarten. She has a younger brother who has high-functioning autism, which inspired Ashley to become a special education teacher. All of her extended family lives in Texas, and we are all very close. Though the family does not live close by, she has made lots of “family” through moving with the military. Ashley’s parents are loving, hardworking, and always supportive. They can’t wait to share their love with a new member of the family and share all the family traditions with their first grandbaby.
Charles has two older brothers and nine nieces and nephews. His parents taught him to be hardworking and to treat others with respect no matter who they are. Through the military, Charles has been able to find friends and new “family” in the different places he has been stationed. He became extremely close to Ashley’s family after we got married and loves family dinners and the traditions we share during holidays.
What Led Us To Adoption
Our story is somewhat of a fairytale as we became engaged at Disney World. We have been together for three years and both have dreamed of becoming parents. Ashley was adopted by her dad at the age of four, and her cousin also had an amazing adoption story; she adopted twins, and they complete her family. Ever since we became a couple, we have known we wanted children, and we knew adoption was the pathway we wanted to take. Due to infertility issues, we have not been able to do so on our own and need your help to make our fairytale ending come true. We have so much love to give and are hoping you will consider us and bless us with a baby.

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!
