dear expectant mother
We hope you enjoyed getting to know our family and the love, support, and care we all have for each other. Thank you for considering us as adoptive parents for your little one! We can only imagine how overwhelming this process is, and we pray you will find peace and a sense of comfort in making such a difficult decision. If we are blessed to be the family you choose, you can rest assured we will offer your little girl all of the love, affection, and tenderness within us, no holding back.
We treasure our boys, but our family does not yet feel complete. Your little girl would have the best security detail with two doting brothers to protect her. Bridgette would introduce her to dance, crafts, and Barbies, while Josh looks forward to daddy-daughter dances and movie nights with The Princess Bride (or maybe Frozen and Frozen II to start!). We are so excited to share our traditions and welcome her to our loving and fun-filled household.
As parents already, we understand the love that overwhelms you as you carry a child. We want you to know how incredibly strong, courageous, and special you are as not only an expectant mother but as an individual! We pray for you and your decisions ahead and would be honored to share more if you are interested in getting to know us better.
About Us
Our story began with a magical first date over chicken wings, where we traded stories and shared ambitions (and dipping sauces!). Realizing we were each other’s “one,” we married and merged our dog families together (four total pups at the time) and then expanded in 2016 (with some fertility help) with our first son, Langston. We added Grayson in early 2019, and both boys get along great. They love to build wooden block towers and then knock them down. Bridgette has a passion for senior care and manages a retirement community. Josh’s passion is in investments. We love hanging out with our families as much as possible. Bridgette also enjoys scrapbooking, photography, reading, and trying to cook. Josh enjoys baseball (and sports in general), art, and working on Bridgette’s “honey do” list. We also love great conversation, volunteering, concerts, traveling, festivals, and Netflix nights.
Our Home & Pets
We live in Texas in a very family-friendly neighborhood with kids of all ages and ethnicities. Our two-story home has plenty of room for the kids to run around and play, both inside and outside. We have a spacious yard and love to be outside with the kids, helping them ride their bikes or taking them around in the wagon. Our backyard is perfect to play ring toss or soccer, play with our pups, and/or bring out the kiddie pool on warm days for water fun! Friends and family visit us frequently, so there’s always something going on.
Our Extended Family
Our families are super excited for a new addition, and the grandmas and grandpas can’t wait to hold our new blessing! We’re sure we’ll have one big “welcome to the family” get-together to celebrate. Josh has four younger sisters and an older brother, and Bridgette is the oldest, with a younger sister and brother. In all, we have twelve nieces and nephews ranging from infant to age 12. It is so much fun for all of us to get together for holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and even just a Sunday afternoon cookout.
We like to celebrate the holidays big time, and Bridgette gets us in the spirit by decorating. We have Easter egg hunts in the front yard, watch the Fourth of July fireworks, go trick-or-treating, eat Cajun turkey at Thanksgiving, and wear matching Christmas pajamas to celebrate the season! We swim at Grandma and Grandpa’s house in the summer, pick apples in the fall, cook Texas chili to warm us in the winter, and cook up some spicy crawfish during our annual boil. While our “big” traditions are great, we treasure daily traditions too, like playing with the dogs, reading Dr. Seuss books, and saying our bedtime prayers.
What Led Us To Adoption
Adoption has always been a part of our family plan. We are blessed to have two biological children but wish to continue to grow our family. Given our past fertility challenges, we feel now is the right time to pursue our adoption journey. We are thrilled for this opportunity. We have seen adoption touch the lives of our immediate family, extended family, and friends. Josh’s brother, father, and cousin are all adopted, as are his aunts and uncles on his dad’s side. We also have multiple friends who have adopted. Our families’ histories with adoption have been such a positive influence for us and have led us to pursue this path.

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!
