dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about us. We hope you are able to feel the love we are eager to give a little one. We want you to know, should you choose us, your baby will be cared for and shown the love you would want them to receive. We would like to spread the love we have for each other and give your baby an upbringing with love, laughter, comfort, happiness, and opportunity.
As parents, we will always pick them up when they fall, guide them when they are lost, and stand up for them. We will always be there for them when they need someone to play with, cuddle with, talk to, lean on, cry to and share their accomplishments with. Our jobs as parents will never end, even when they are grown.
About Us
We are an easygoing couple and have been married for six years. Chris works as a general manager at an optical company, and Brian works as a customer service representative at a privately owned salon. We met through a dating website and quickly discovered we enjoyed the same foods, valued family, loved to travel, and enjoyed pets. Over time, we have developed our relationship from a friendship into marriage. We base our relationship on respect, trust, and, most of all, love.
Our Home & Pets
We enjoy all seasons in our home, a raised ranch with a large yard that we have landscaped ourselves. Our home has a lot of space for us and our two wonderful dogs, Molly (French bulldog) and Cujo (chihuahua terrier). There are several trails to explore in the nearby forest preserves within walking distance. There are also three playgrounds within the neighborhood. We are so excited for the day to come when we can bring a little one home to start creating memories!
Our Extended Family
Our families have a huge impact on our lives despite them living several hours away from us. We stay in contact with them either by phone or by FaceTime. We are both proud godparents of two wonderful children. Brian is the youngest of four children. His extended family is large, and most of them still live in his Kentucky hometown. They include his parents, siblings, and nine nieces and nephews, and five grandnieces and grandnephews.
Chris grew up with his sister in a military family, and to this day, they are still very close. His family currently resides in the wonderful states of Maryland and Virginia. He is a proud uncle of two nephews, whom he spoils as if they were his own children.
While we are several states away from our families, we still find time to visit and gather with each other often. We have even been welcomed as members of a local family here to share family moments with. Family is made of people you love and cherish, not always DNA.
What Led Us To Adoption
We’ve always known we wanted a family, and in our hearts, we know adoption is the path meant for us to make our dream of becoming parents come true. We have so much love to give and want nothing more than to surround a child with love. We are thrilled to be on this journey and can’t wait to start this exciting new chapter in our lives. Chris has a family member who’s adopted, and our lives are so much richer with them in it. Brian works in an environment where many families were brought together 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!
