dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
Thank you for reading our profile. We are humbled and inspired by your selfless love. We cannot begin to understand how hard this decision may be for you. We are grateful and thrilled for the opportunity to be considered to join you along this journey and want you to know it is our dream to spend our lives raising your child with unconditional love.
If you choose us, your baby will be surrounded by love and support. We are excited to show them the world but also to give them the confidence, knowledge, and love for them to become whoever they want to be. Our son, Binyamin, starts each day with the affirmation, “I am smart. I am kind. I am capable. Today is going to be a great day!” He ends each day, after reading bedtime stories, with us saying, “We love you to the moon and stars and back. Always remember, we love you no matter what.” Those aren’t just phrases but statements we live by, and we can’t wait to share them with your child as well.
Your baby’s life will start with your selfless love, and we will continue your example. If you choose us, we will nurture your child and teach them to love who they are and where they came from. We wish you the best in making this decision and would be honored to take the next step with you.
With love,
Beth and Teddy

About Us
What happens when a Southern gal and an East Coast guy are set up by friends on the West Coast? In our case, they fall in love and live happily ever after. Teddy is an outgoing and fun guy who has a huge heart. He can usually be found playing with our two-year-old son, Binyamin, either building train sets or making sandcastles at the beach. Teddy also loves to learn about history, economics, and science, which works well for him as an electrical engineer. Beth loves to spend time with close family and friends. She’s the friend who others come to when they need a listening ear or a hug. Beth is a pediatrician and former teacher. Some even call her the baby whisperer! She loves reading, singing, and taking long walks with our son. We truly balance each other out and cannot wait to add to our family.
Our Home
Our home is located in sunny Southern California. We live on a quiet, tree-lined street filled with families and children. We are surrounded by several parks, which we love to visit. Binyamin loves that he has cousins two blocks away who are always ready for a playdate. We are a close drive to beaches, mountains, and even Disneyland! This is a great city to raise a child; it’s full of nature, culture, music, and more. We love to take advantage of the great weather all year long.
Our Extended Family
Family is very important to both of us. We are fortunate to have family close by as well as frequent visits from those who live farther away. We see Beth’s sister and her family multiple times a week for meals, beach trips, and all types of fun adventures. Both of our parents live on the East Coast, but they love to visit and are very involved grandparents. Binyamin has regular FaceTime dates with them to show off his latest accomplishments. We also enjoy traveling the world to visit family and friends near and far.
Beth loves sharing her Southern roots, particularly through delicious family recipes. Teddy likes to add dishes from his Eastern European heritage, but we often ask our diverse friends for their favorite recipes as well. Thanksgiving is a much loved holiday filled with food, family, friends, and football. Beth’s peach cobbler is always a hit, but she prefers her father’s cornbread dressing. Teddy loves to have generations of family together for Passover and is the center of conversations that go long into the night. Our family and friends are excited to support us on our adoption journey, and we are eager to share the wonderful blessing of our new addition with them.
What Led Us To Adoption
Beth has several family members and friends who have adopted. Since childhood, she always had a vision of a blended family of biological and adopted children, which has grown stronger after working with many foster and adoptive families through her work. She even brought up the idea to Teddy while we were dating. Our dream was to have a happy, loving family regardless of how the child came to us. We felt strongly about moving forward after grieving the loss of our second son at 32 weeks. We are excited and honored to have the opportunity to grow our family through adoption.

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!
