About Us
We are Ashley and Jared! Ashley is a banquet director and children’s summer camp director, and Jared is a head golf professional. We both work at the same country club, which is great because we can see each other occasionally at work. We met in college in the fall of 2011 through mutual friends when Jared was a sophomore and Ashley was a freshman. We spent the entire night talking and went on our first date the next day. There was an instant connection. We had a big wedding in 2016 surrounded by our loved ones! We have become each other’s biggest supporters. Ashley is an extrovert and Jared is an introvert, and because of that, we bring out the best in each other. Some of our favorite things to do together are golf, cook dinner or try new restaurants, explore new cities, and visit every zoo we can!
Our Home & Pets
We recently bought our first home and have fallen in love with the house and the location. It is in a good school district and neighborhood, with a playground right down the street. There are a lot of families with young children in our area. We have a fluffy goldendoodle named Cooper, and now we have a backyard with enough space to play with both Cooper and our future children, and to entertain family and friends. We love to hike nearby trails, take a quick trip to the beach, and venture up to a local lake to swim. We are also not too far from the city, which allows us to experience the culture, sights, and food a city has to offer.
Our Extended Family
Our families are just as excited as we are that we are trying to adopt. Ashley is the oldest daughter of three, and this baby will be the first grandchild for her parents. They cannot wait to spoil a baby with unconditional love, gifts, and attention! Jared’s parents have one grandchild, our niece, and seeing the bond between them excites us about how much love they will have for our child and the relationship they will share.
Christmas is our favorite time we share with our families. Both of our parents come to visit as well as our sisters. We wear matching pajamas we open on Christmas Eve, cook a huge breakfast, and spend all day playing games and watching movies together. We often talk about how much we look forward to all the memories and traditions we will create with our child and how we will make the holidays magical like our parents did for us. We are also excited for all the birthdays we will get to celebrate that will bring the family together to make your child feel extra special as they grow, especially because Ashley loves to throw a good birthday bash!
What Led Us To Adoption
We have known since we first started dating that family was important to both of us and how much we want children. One of the things Ashley loves most about Jared is the way he interacts with kids and how much they love him. After learning carrying a child would be a risk to Ashley’s health, it was an easy decision to choose adoption to grow our family. We have always been open about the idea of adoption. There is so much love we have to offer, and we cannot wait to share that love with your child. Your child will be the center of our hearts and our attention, and we are excited for all of the memories we will be able create.

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!
