dear expectant mother
Hello! We hope you are doing well. Thank you so much for taking a moment to get to know more about us as you consider an adoption plan for your baby. We acknowledge that this is an incredibly difficult time for you and that you must have incredibly admirable strength and a loving heart. We understand this may feel outside of your control, but know that should you choose us, we will do everything in our power to help you get through it.
We have been preparing both physically and emotionally for a baby for the past five years, and we would be beyond honored and grateful if you chose us. As a family that loves to travel, we have already been planning ways to incorporate a baby into our adventures. We daydream of family walks on the beach, chaotic yet absurdly fun trips to Disney, and game nights that have no business being taken as seriously we do. We have family members from both sides already volunteering to babysit and talking about what they want to get for the baby.
We are a family that believes in unconditional love, spending time together, and, above all, sharing laughter and fun. We are excited to see what type of person they grow up to be and to offer them the encouragement and support they need to be the person they want to be. Regardless of who you choose, we wish you the very best in your journey!
About Us
Howdy! We are Bethany and Ben, and we met twelve years ago working in the business department of a medical company. Bethany was shy and introverted, while Ben was more outgoing and brought her out of her shell. Regular lunch outings turned into dates and eventually a loving relationship that culminated in a marriage in 2018. Opposites indeed attract, but we both share many aspects in common, some of which being we are both into video games, fantasy, and science fiction. We also enjoy unique and new experiences as we create memories. Ben owns a personalization company that has grown rapidly in the past ten years. Bethany works for the same business from home with human resources, sales, and website management.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a ranch-style home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms in a small, quiet, and scenic neighborhood a stone’s throw away from the beach. Our newly shaded backyard is made private with tall bushes, and we have a firepit where we sit and entertain guests. We have a super friendly Yorkie named Stanley who is very loving, playful, and affectionate. He is very patient and understanding with small children and loves to play fetch and run around in the grass in the backyard.
Our Extended Family
Both of us were raised in very affectionate, loving, and forward-thinking families who taught us to be accepting and loving of the people in our lives. Bethany’s family lives in Texas, so we take trips at least once a year to see them there. She was raised in a large, unconventional, loving household with her grandparents, aunts, and twin brother. Ben’s family lives nearby, and we see them often. His father helps with the business at the office, and his mother works from home in sales. Ben’s brother has a three-year-old whom we are very close with. We can’t wait to give him a little cousin to play with!
Aside from Christmas, we also have what we call “Birthday Season,” which kicks off in June and ends around November. Birthdays are very important to our family, and everyone gets a cake, a song, and a family dinner party. The only event that rivals Birthday Season is Christmas. We gather every Christmas Eve for a meal and opening gifts. Christmas Day we gather for a casual midday meal to close out the holiday.
What Led Us To Adoption
We decided before we were even married that children would be a major part of our lives. Life, however, often sets obstacles in one’s path. Ours was unexpected infertility issues putting our family planning through many ups and downs. Through our hardships, we’ve realized we were meant to adopt. We have a lot of love to share and are overjoyed and humbled that we get to start a new adventure with a child regardless of their genes.

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!
