dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
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 by you.
Should you choose us, we would love, protect, and care endlessly for your child. We would do our best everyday as parents of your child to help them grow and thrive in our family. We would share their adoption story in a loving and empathetic way with nothing but 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 excited. We feel overjoyed at the thought of loving another baby and 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 so much for reading our profile. It means the world to us.
Beth & Mike
About Us
We are a happy, caring, adventurous, and loving family. Family time is one of the most important values to us. Over our 15 years as a couple (married 10), 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 playing with our son, Max, running, and working on house projects. Beth’s top job is caring for our son. She babysits a family of 3 kids one day a week and works for her family’s business while Max is in school. Along with those jobs, she loves crafts, exercise, and planning for the family—vacations, appointments, playdates, and birthday parties. We love to do anything as a family - movies, camping, fairs, seeing new places, and trying new things.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a subdivision on a quiet and safe street with small, nicely kept homes. Our home is a tidy three-bedroom ranch with a front porch and a fenced-in backyard, two cats (Oscar and Winston), a lot of flowers, trees, and a playset. It is within walking distance of many parks and schools. The kids in the neighborhood play together, Max loves riding his bike up and down the sidewalk, and our neighbors are friendly and welcoming. 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.
Our Extended Family
Between the two of us we have a big family and quality time together is a priority. We are surrounded by unconditional love, support, and encouragement. We both work within our family businesses and get to spend time with them daily. We have lots of holiday traditions - if there’s an occasion, we’re seeing each other and celebrating. If there’s not an occasion, we’re still seeing each other and celebrating.
Mike comes from a family of five: his mom, dad, and two siblings. We love getting together for a meal and catching up, visiting their beach home in Florida, and camping together. Most of Mike’s extended family lives farther away, but a couple cousins, aunts, and uncles live closer and we love visiting with them.
Beth has her mom, dad, stepmom, four sisters, a brother, a stepsister and stepbrother, plus all their significant others. Max has eight cousins within Beth’s family and we see each other often for babysitting and dinners. We also love going to crafts fairs and camping together. We attend church with Beth’s mom each week and we visit Beth’s extended family often.
Within both of our families there is a lot of love, laughter, and fun.
What Led Us To Adoption
We have been a family of three for the last five years, but our journey to build our family started seven 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 that joy with an adopted child. Beth has an adopted cousin, and we know first hand the love and joy an adopted child can bring to our whole family, 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!
