dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
Thank you so much for taking the time to read our profile. We know you are facing an incredibly difficult decision—one filled with emotion, reflection, and deep love. Please know that we see your strength, and we hold profound respect for you as you consider what is best for your baby. It's humbling to think that we might be part of your journey, and we are truly grateful just for the opportunity to share our hearts with you through this letter.
We are a same-sex couple who has built a life rooted in love, laughter, and unwavering commitment. Our relationship is filled with mutual respect, shared values, and a deep desire to grow our family. The idea of creating a family through love, openness, and intention speaks to our souls.
We won't pretend this journey hasn't come with a mix of emotions. Like many, we've felt scared, vulnerable, and anxious at times. But more than anything, we are filled with hope—hope that we will become parents, hope that we'll raise a child in a home full of joy, warmth, and stability. If you choose us, please know that your child will be cherished deeply, that their identity will be honored, and that their story will be held with love and gratitude every step of the way.
About Us
Hello! We are Chaz and José, and we want to begin by saying how much we admire you for navigating this incredibly meaningful journey. We’re grateful for the opportunity to share a bit about ourselves with you.
We’re a loving couple who balance each other beautifully. Chaz is outgoing and energetic—a guidance counselor passionate about helping others grow. José is calm, patient, and thoughtful—a civil engineer who brings steadiness to everything he does.
We love traveling and exploring new cultures, whether it’s a weekend road trip or a big international adventure. José enjoys gardening, while Chaz finds joy in live music and concerts. Together, we spend our days visiting museums, trying new restaurants, walking our dog, and laughing with family and friends.
Our life is full of joy, love, and connection—and we can’t wait to share it all with a child.
Our Home & Neighborhood
We live in a beautiful, historic district in New Jersey. Our home is a cozy and spacious four-bedroom, two-bathroom house filled with love, laughter, and room to grow. Our neighborhood is diverse, friendly, and full of life—with tree-lined streets, warm neighbors, and a strong sense of community.
We're within walking distance of excellent parks, thriving restaurants, and highly rated schools at every level, including colleges. Two nearby train stations can take us directly into New York City in just 30 minutes, giving us easy access to all the arts, culture, and adventure the city has to offer.
We also share our home with our sweet dog, Starr—a three-year-old Cavapoo who is gentle, playful, and incredibly spoiled. We're excited to welcome a child into this warm, joyful environment that we've built with so much care.
Our Family & Friends
Our lives are also deeply connected to our friends, mentors, and community members who have become like family to us. These are the people who show up—whether it's to celebrate, support, or simply spend time together. Many of them have children of their own, and we already imagine the playdates, birthday parties, and shared milestones that would be part of our child's life. We believe in the power of community, and we are blessed to be part of one that is loving, safe, and rooted in kindness.
What Led Us To Adoption
As a same-sex couple, we've always known that growing our family would look a little different. At first, we considered surrogacy, but our hearts kept coming back to adoption. We realized that there are so many children already in the world who need a loving, stable, and supportive home—and we are ready to provide just that.
The idea of becoming parents through adoption fills us with hope and joy. We're excited about the chance to share our lives, values, and traditions with a child. While we haven't adopted before, we've seen how beautiful adoption can be through close friends who have built their families this way. We believe every child deserves to be deeply loved, celebrated, and cherished—and we are ready to be that 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!
