dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
It’s impossible to understand the weight of the decision you are trying to make and what you are going through with your baby now. We empathize with you, and we are beyond grateful to you; just being considered is an honor. Having a little boy gives us some insight into just how difficult this decision must be for you. Your strength is admirable, and your baby is blessed to be your child.
Should you bless us with this priceless gift, we would love, protect, and cherish your child. We would share their adoption story in a selfless, loving, and empathetic way. It's important to us that you know you have a friend and family in us, if that’s your hope. We have endless respect and compassion for you.
It feels hard to tell you how excited we are to adopt knowing you must be struggling, but we are so excited. We feel overjoyed at the thought of loving another baby and overwhelmed with emotion at the chance to be chosen by you. It is our promise to you that the security, comfort, nurture, and love we would give your child is limitless.
Thank you for reading our profile. It means the world to us.
Beth & Mike
About Us
We are an optimistic and loving couple. A balanced life, work ethic, and time for family and fun are important values to us. Over our 14 years as a couple (married 9), we have learned to make the most out of any situation. We are flexible and work together to solve life’s obstacles. Mike is a manufacturer’s rep in the electric industry. When not at work, he loves working on house projects and playing with our son, Max. Beth’s top job is caring for our son. She babysits one little girl within our home a couple days a week and works for her family’s business while Max is in school. Along with those jobs, she loves planning for the family—appointments, playdates, and birthday parties. As a family, our favorite things to do are camping, vacations (especially Disney), going to our town’s summer festivals, and spending time with extended family.
Our Home & Pets
We have two older cats, Oscar and Winston. Our home is in a small town in Wisconsin with a historic downtown area of unique shops and restaurants. Throughout the year, our town has many fun family festivals and concerts we love going to. We live in a subdivision on a quiet street with small, nicely kept homes. Our home is a tidy three-bedroom ranch with a front porch and a fenced-in backyard with a lot of flowers, trees, and a playset. It is within walking distance of many parks and schools that Max and your baby may attend. The kids in the neighborhood play together, and our neighbors are friendly and welcoming.
Our Extended Family
Family is extremely important to us, and quality time together is a priority. We are surrounded by unconditional love, support, and encouragement. Between both of our families, we have rich holiday traditions. If there’s an occasion, we’re seeing each other and celebrating. If there’s not an occasion, we’re making one up.
Mike comes from a family of five: his mom, dad, and two siblings. We get together twice a month and love golfing and barbequing. Mike works with his dad and brother. Much of his extended family live farther away, but a couple cousins, aunts, and uncles live closer, and we visit them at least once a year.
Beth has her mom, dad, stepmom, four sisters, a brother, a stepsister and stepbrother, plus many significant others. Max has seven cousins. We see each other at least once a week for babysitting, and we often get together for camping and birthdays. We attend church with Beth’s mom and her aunts. Her dad owns a business, and she works for him along with several other family members. We see Beth’s extended family several times a year. There are a lot of laughs, hugs, food, and games when we are together.
What Led Us To Adoption
We have been a family of three for the last four years, but our journey to build our family started six years ago. During that time, we struggled to get pregnant, we miscarried twice, and Mike overcame testicular cancer, but we were blessed with one healthy boy, Max. We are choosing the path of adoption because we have so much love and joy to share with another child. We have such a happy home and family, and we want to add to it so badly. Beth has an adopted cousin, and we know firsthand the love and joy an adopted child can bring to our whole family. Adoption was always an option for us, and we are beyond excited to be on this path.

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!
