dear expectant mother
The decisions you are considering may be some of the hardest you make in your entire life. We do want to take this time to thank you for considering an adoption plan and for thinking about us as adoptive parents for your precious baby. We commend your courage in considering adoption.
While we cannot relate to the decisions you are facing, we can relate to the love you have for your child. After all, you are caring for and nurturing a child of God and that is a wonderful and rewarding feeling. We share this love for our children and are we very excited to open our hearts and arms to another child.
We are looking forward to another opportunity to provide unconditional love and support to another child. We are also looking forward to another opportunity for a relationship with you as well. Our family cannot wait to share holidays, milestones, and special moments with you and your child.
We hope you enjoy this glimpse into our lives while you are hand-selecting the best family for you and your child. We are truly honored by your consideration.
About Us
We are Bryan and Ashley. We have a seven-year-old daughter and a three-year-old son. We welcomed our son into our home through adoption at birth.
Bryan works as a fuel manager for his family’s business. Ashley works part-time as an occupational therapist at our local hospital or doing home visits for children with special needs. We are both able to make our own schedules which allow us to spend extra time with our family.
We long for another child to raise by faith and God’s word, and to share in this life with his or her siblings. Our family and our hearts have room to grow and we cannot wait to share our lives and love with another child.
Our Home & Pets
Our little family lives in the country with our two dogs Connor and Oakley. We have a large fenced yard for the kids and dogs to enjoy chasing each other and getting dirty. We enjoy riding bikes and scooters, swinging on the swingset, and playing in the sandbox. Our family also enjoys swimming in our pool on hot summer days and tending to our large garden. Our children love picking vegetables and fruits from the garden and taking long walks to visit our country neighbors. Our local school is close by and our daughter attends first grade there. We also enjoy watching her participate in dance, gymnastics, and t-ball activities.
Our Extended Family
Both of our extended families are quite large. We enjoy trips, gatherings, and celebrations. Holidays are always big, fun, and a little loud!
Ashley has one older brother. He and his wife and Ashley’s parents all live nearby, and we see them often. We enjoy getting together for supper at least once a week. Ashley’s family, including many aunts, uncles, and cousins, enjoy camping together at the lake most summer weekends. Holidays, weddings, and birthdays are always celebrated in a big way in Ashley’s family, and we cannot wait to add one more person to celebrate.
Bryan has two younger sisters and one brother. His parents and one sister live nearby, and we get to see them often. Bryan and his dad work together every day in the family business, and Bryan’s mom babysits for us often. His other sister and brother live within driving distance, and we make it a point to see them as often as possible. Bryan’s brother and his wife have three children, one of which was adopted. Our nieces and nephew are very close in age with our kids and they are all great friends.
Our Adoption Story
We welcomed our son into our family through adoption. We were blessed to meet with his birthmother before he was born, and we were there to welcome him into the world. Although he had to remain in the hospital for a short time for substance withdrawal, we enjoyed focusing on him and getting to know him in those first few days in the hospital. During that time, were able to meet more members of his birth family, and we have been able to stay in contact since. Several other members of our family have been brought together by adoption and we truly believe that love is what makes a 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!
