dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
We would like to take a moment to express to you that the magnitude of you considering us to be your child’s parents is not taken lightly, and your selflessness will never be forgotten if we are chosen. We hope that as you take this journey, you know your child will be loved unconditionally and will be reminded each day that they are so special that the universe gave them a loving birthmom and loving parents.
Adoption holds such a special place in our hearts. We have been fortunate to see firsthand the impact of three adoptions. Ashley’s dad adopted her when she was four, her brother was adopted when he was three, and our goddaughter was adopted at birth. Because of these very personal experiences, we feel we will be able to support a child through the adoption journey and help them grow up knowing their mom loved them so much that she gave the ultimate sacrifice for the betterment of their life.
You are truly loved and supported no matter your decision. Thank you for considering us to raise your child. If blessed with this gift, we will spend the rest of our lives honoring you by giving your baby the best life possible. We are here for you, and we are so thankful for you.
With much respect,
Jason and Ashley
About Us
We are college sweethearts. Jason has been a registered nurse for 15 years and is currently the Director of Operations for a home health company. Ashley is also a registered nurse and has worked in the long-term care industry for the majority of her 19 years of nursing. She is currently the Executive Director. Jason is the quiet one, but that is possibly because he knows he has to balance Ashley’s very outgoing and talkative personality. Jason loves building things, gardening, weightlifting, cooking, and sports. Ashley enjoys crafting, decorating, and playing fetch with our three dogs. In addition to our professional careers, we also run a small home decor shop where we sell items that Jason builds and Ashley decorates.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a small community near a park and school. The community is close knit, and everyone knows each other. We live in a two-story home with three bedrooms, a music room, and an office. There is an inground pool off the back of the patio and a fenced-in yard with lots of space to play. We have a garden and peach trees. We live right next to a large farm, so we joke about our neighbors being cows and a donkey. The farm animals are tame, and they love being petted. We have three dogs: Walter, Amos, and Penny. Walter and Amos could spend their entire day playing fetch, and Penny is content lounging on the couch. All three of them love anyone who will scratch their ears.
Our Extended Family
Our extended family is pretty small compared to most, but we feel that only makes us able to have better relationships with everyone. Jason is an only child. His mom and stepdad live in the next county over and run a little hobby farm with pigs, chickens, and rabbits. Anytime we go to visit, we have to pinky promise each other not to bring home any cute farm animals. Ashley is the eldest and has one brother, who is ten years younger than Ashley and is currently stationed in Florida, serving in the Navy. Both of Ashley’s parents passed away in 2021. Our extended family consists of Ashley’s mom’s sisters and their children.
We talk to each other weekly, and we get together for birthdays and holidays. Our most cherished family gathering is the annual “Celebration of the Casseroles.” This tradition was started in honor of Ashley’s dad, who was known for making casseroles for any and all occasions. Now the celebration is held each year on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, and all the aunts and cousins come together to fellowship and feast on the variety of casseroles.
What Led Us To Adoption
Adoption has always been in our hearts and in our life plan. Ashley was adopted when she was four years old. Her mother was a single mother and married a man who felt Ashley should be his daughter both emotionally and legally. Ashley’s parents adopted her brother through an open adoption when he was three and Ashley was 13. In addition to the personal experiences, we were also gifted with a goddaughter eight years ago when Ashley’s aunt was approached about adopting a baby girl by a birthmother who was not in the position to care for a newborn. We’ve always known that adding to our family through adoption was meant to be.

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!
