dear expectant mother
Thank you for taking the time to look at our profile. We can’t begin to imagine the emotions swirling through your head while considering the best path for you and your precious baby.
It feels sort of awkward and weird to sit here and try to sell you on how great our family is. Obviously we think we are great and have all of the abilities to be able to raise your child, but we hope you see that too. We would be so grateful if you considered us to be the adoptive parents of your baby. We can provide your little one with superhero costume parties, hiking adventures, boat rides and fishing trips in Maine, and so many other great life experiences. Your child would have a huge family always there to support them. They’d have cousins their age to play with at our family’s summer camp and plenty of opportunities to meet other kids back home while we visit our friends who are also having kids at this time. We want you to know it won’t be just us raising your child. We are lucky enough to have a community of so many wonderful and loving people who will be there for him or her too.
We want so badly for you to choose us, but even if you don’t, we wish you the best and hope you feel supported and at peace with your decision.
About Us
We are a normal middle-class couple anxious to start a family. We believe strongly in our relationship foundation, team mentality, and support systems to raise a happy and healthy child. Brian works in marketing for a manufacturer of IT infrastructure solutions. Brian enjoys the people he works with and appreciates the family/team-oriented atmosphere. Cassie works as an administrator for a contract management agency. Cassie enjoys her coworkers and the flexibility her job allows her. We wish to pass on our strong work ethic and devoted mindsets to a child. We wish nothing more than, to the best of our abilities, to facilitate a loving and family-first atmosphere. The adoption process is a blessing we are truly thankful for and highly appreciative of.
Our Home & Pets
We own a four-bedroom, three-bathroom, ranch-style home in Connecticut. Our house is located at the end of a dead-end, private road, so there is almost no traffic. We have a big, grassy yard with plenty of room to run around and play. There are a few large, old trees we can imagine our future child climbing on one day and an area next to our house where we can go on family walks. Our town has a great school system, a cute little downtown shopping center, and plenty of options to get out and be active. We regularly take our dog to the off-leash dog park down the road so she can run around and explore.
Our Extended Family
We have an amazingly supportive extended family that has been helpful financially and emotionally, and they are lovingly excited to embrace the adoption process with us. Brian has a large extended family on his mother’s side consisting of seven aunts and uncles, all with families of their own. Brian is close with his cousins on his dad’s side. They see each other every summer for several days during the Fourth of July holiday at the family lake house in Maine. Cassie has extended family also, and we have been lucky enough to spend a few vacations with them over the years.
One of our favorite traditions is the birthday tradition: Whenever it’s someone’s birthday, we go around the table and everyone says something nice about the birthday person. We also enjoy the Fourth of July fireworks tradition, when the family sets off fireworks at the summer lake house in Maine. The extended family cruise vacation is another tradition. Brian’s grandmother pays for the entire extended family to go on cruise every five years. She has been doing it for the past 22+ years.
Our Adoption Story
About six months into our relationship, we had a couple of conversations about children and whether or not each of us wanted kids. We quickly realized both of us are very passionate about wanting to raise an adopted child. We feel we are in the right place and have confidence in ourselves and our relationship to provide a child a great life where they will feel loved and supported and where they will have fun and build healthy relationships.

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!
