Dear Birthmom
Let us begin by saying how incredible we think you are. By reading this, we know you are ridiculously strong and courageous. Our prayers have been with you to keep giving you strength and hope through this difficult time. We are grateful for you and the hope you have for your baby’s life. We promise to keep that hope alive and well. We will love your baby with all our hearts, just as you do. We promise to provide, protect, and help your baby grow into an incredible person, who is as strong as you are. We pray you feel these promises and understand how serious we are about keeping them.
We want to share that our family has been touched by the blessing of adoption before through Brandon’s grandparents, who adopted Brandon’s mom. Our family wouldn’t even exist without Brandon’s mom’s birthmother, so we have seen how so many lives and families are changed because of brave woman like yourself. We cannot wait to see how many more lives are touched because of you and your baby and we hope you will consider our family. We are eager, ready, and able, and we cannot wait for this incredible story to unfold.
About Us
We are Brandon and Tkale! We met during college, when we were both high achieving athletes, Brandon playing football and running track and Tkale playing soccer and volleyball. We’ve been married for 5 years now! Brandon is co-owner of one of Colorado’s most successful and highest selling Real Estate teams. Tkale became a Surgical Technologist, and was recruited by a private practice, working alongside some of the nation’s top surgeons. Although she enjoyed her work, her life’s calling has always been to be a mom. In December of 2013, that dream was realized with the birth of our son, and Tkale left her job to become a stay-at-home mom. A few years later, we were blessed by the birth of our daughter.
Our strong marriage is the core of our family and everyday life. To this day, we are still very competitive and enjoy playing our chosen sports in adult leagues around town. Tkale also enjoys cake decorating and doing hair for weddings. Brandon is kept busy by his passion for growth and continued learning, and enjoys spending his free time golfing. Together, we also love Disney and our favorite thing to do as a family is take our quarterly Disneyland trips!
Our Home & Pets
We live in the city Brandon was born and raised in and built our home from the ground up in 2015. We feel very fortunate to live in the family-friendly neighborhood we live in and enjoy the walking trails, park, and awesome community center with pool. Our neighborhood has one of the lowest crime ratings in the country and is also in one of the state’s highest ranking school systems.
Our home has 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths and a finished basement designed for the kids to play in and includes their own bounce castle! Home wouldn’t be complete without our large, lazy and loving dog, Darla, who is a Great Dane.
Our Extended Family
We consider ourselves very fortunate to have such an incredible family structure surrounding us. Brandon's parents live one mile from us, in the same neighborhood. There is a park directly between our houses, where we often meet to play, followed by dinner at one of our houses. Brandon's sister and brother-in-law live about 5 minutes away and often join us for dinner, bringing their 1-year-old daughter. Brandon's real estate business is a family business with his parents and is also located nearby, allowing time for drop-ins and breaks with the family.
Tkales's parents are divorced and both remarried, so her side of the family is a bit larger and more spread out. She has numerous half siblings that get together for large family events several times per year. Most our time is spent with Tkale's mom's side of the family and we are at Tkale's mom and stepdad's house at least once a week. They live on a lot of land, so we are constantly over there playing outside or in their barn, where they have an indoor basketball court and baseball batting cages. We are also close with Tkale's grandparents, who are diamonds in this world and love and support us to no end.
What Led Us To Adoption
When we first got married over 5 years ago, we always discussed how we wanted a large family, filled with love and excitement. After Tkale had two really tough pregnancies and deliveries, we knew we were done having children biologically. From that point on, we turned our hearts towards adoption as the avenue to further grow our family. After thinking, reading, and praying about adoption separately, we concluded we were not only prepared in all aspects of life, but were eager to welcome another member into our family.

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!
