dear expectant mother
To Our Possible Angel:
We want to take a moment to let you know how incredibly loved and special you are already. We know how difficult this road may be for you, and we can’t begin to imagine all the emotions, thoughts, and feelings that are circulating around your head and heart.
But the one thing we do know is, if you bless us by choosing us to raise your child, we vow to give you comfort and peace. This child, your child, will be so loved. We promise your child will be given the world. They will laugh until their tummies hurt, and they will have an education and opportunities like no other. We will love them unconditionally, and they will have the biggest of hearts to never judge, to always be loving, and to treat others with dignity and respect.
We want you to know adoption has always been on our hearts, and our children have been praying for this moment and are so excited for this chance of a lifetime. We would owe you our world for making our dreams come true. Our children have always wanted a sibling and have always wanted to adopt without us even saying anything about it. We know everything happens in the right timing, and we truly believe everything happens for a reason. We hope you and your precious baby are God’s timing for us.
About Us
Hi! We are Ashley and Jody, and we have been inseparable since 2010. We met playing collegiate sports and are about to embark on our ten-year wedding anniversary this year. Ashley is a complete extrovert and loves making people laugh and putting smiles on everyone’s faces. She’s never met a stranger. She enjoys traveling, modeling, art, cooking, and speaking Swahili. Jody loves not only laughing at Ashley but lifting, all things sports related, comic books, children, and animals. We love fossil hunting with our children, traveling to different parts of the country, trying new things, and going to collegiate and professional sports games. We cannot wait to add another child to enjoy the fun of life with.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a very blessed neighborhood. It’s quiet (unless we're home), with a lot of land to roam. We live in a great house for Nerf gun wars and hide and seek. We have a theater room, game room with old-school arcade games, basketball court, pool and hot tub, and lots and lots of land. We have an indoor dog, Foxie, our most recent rescue, as well as outside rescue dogs: Pickles, Cass, and Gutter. We work with the local animal shelter, so our hearts are always open to fur babies. The school districts are unbelievable, and we are currently in private schools. We focus on their school work and whatever extracurricular activity the children dare to dream of. Whether it’s cooking, football, dance, gymnastics, art, acro, basketball, we find the time.
Our Extended Family
Oh mylanta! We sure do love our family and are so close. We share our land with Jody's parents, and Ashley’s parents split their time either two minutes away from us or in California. Both our families spend holidays together! Ashley is the oldest and has one younger brother who resides in California with her parents. Jody is the oldest of three boys. One is married with three children, and the other is finishing up law school.
We love spending time with our extended families as well. We both have an astronomical number of cousins, aunts, and uncles, and the children even have a great-grandma on Ashley’s side who is 93! We cannot wait for our newest addition to be a part of such an amazingly large and well-loved and cherished family.
What Led Us To Adoption
At the age of 13, Ashley was told she could never have biological children, so she grew up wanting to adopt. After our two miracle babies, we can no longer have children due to infertility. We would love to fulfill that life-long dream to add another blessing to our family through adoption. We want to continue to grow as a strong, fun-loving family, and in our hearts, we know adding another child to our lives would not only bring so much joy and happiness to us but our children as well. They are so excited and pray about it every day in school.

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!
