dear expectant mother
First of all, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering us to be part of your child’s life. This will be the beginning of a long journey, but we are ready to love and provide for this new life. We can’t imagine what you are going through at this time, but we have the utmost respect for the decision you are making.
We will be able to provide a safe and stable home and will be able to give your baby many opportunities, including a college education. We can’t wait to go to Disney World and the Lego store, to have BBQs and eat in the backyard, and to go see the Polar Express with your baby. Another family tradition that we can’t wait to pass on is Christmas Eve, where everyone gets new pajamas that we wear while watching Christmas movies. We will also eat freshly baked Christmas cookies, which we can now do with the fireplace crackling in the background. Baking and decorating Christmas cookies while drinking eggnog and decorating the tree has always included the whole family.
We will do anything we can to provide a loving, caring, and safe home, and we look forward to taking this journey together with you.
About Us
Sara is a mental health technician who has the privilege of caring for individuals with developmental disabilities. She has been lucky enough to be part of their lives for almost eighteen years. Bill works in information technology as a government contractor. We are a couple that has fun together, whether with a group of our family and friends or doing things by ourselves, like grocery shopping, watching Jeopardy, watching a play, or camping. We are a couple that supports each other when tackling new challenges, from starting a new career, graduating from college, or becoming the union president. We enjoy hosting family and friend gatherings because we like to have make people laugh and enjoy life. We are the couple that has homeless bags in our vehicles to help those we see in need. We enjoy each other's company and make every moment count.
Our Home & Pets
We recently purchased a new house in Bill’s hometown with a child in mind. The new house has a great fenced-in yard with plenty of room for playing catch and having a swing set and also has a covered patio. The house has a large basement for family gatherings and playdates. The town has a nice public pool and a park with a skating rink, soccer and baseball fields, and a huge play area with picnic areas. The town hosts parades, boy and girl scouts, and annual fairs. The schools have small-setting classrooms with caring teachers and many extracurricular activities. Our home has two dogs waiting for a two-legged brother or sister to play with, a basset hound and an English bulldog.
Our Extended Family
Our families are always getting together for gatherings that include BBQs, camping, holidays, and birthdays, which are filled with laughter and making memories. Having strong family ties is definitely important to both of us.
Some of our family and friends have been told that we have started this journey. They have already planned baby showers, shopping trips, and room decorating, which shows how excited they are to be part of this child’s life with us. Since we were unable to start a family naturally and surprise our parents that way, we have not told them yet. After someone chooses us, we will have our own special reveal by showing them the new nursery.
What Led Us To Adoption
We have seen many people in our family happily grow their families through adoption. Bill has several cousins that have adopted. One cousin adopted three children from Guatemala. Another cousin adopted two children from an organization similar to Angel Adoption. One of Sara’s cousins also adopted two children from a similar organization. Seeing how adoption has changed their lives more than words can describe has made us realize our family is not complete. We can’t wait to be as lucky as they are and to have a beautiful family like theirs.

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!
