dear expectant mother
We would like to begin by thanking you for considering us as parents for your child. We have so much love and respect for you. If you choose us, please know that your child will always know how special you are to us and to them.
We have a home filled with love, silliness, music, dancing, and laughter. We will raise your child in a loving Christian home, with God as the center of our lives and where there is always a roof over their head, food in their bellies, and plenty of opportunities for them to just be a kid. We have a large family support system who are always there for us and are so encouraging and open to adoption. We also have a daughter, Lexi, through adoption who will be an amazing big sister. She is outgoing, and silly, and she’s so excited and ready to explore every trail and park with your child, show them how to make every silly face in the book, have endless laughs, and just love on her younger brother or sister!
We are excited to meet with you and hear your hopes and dreams for you and your child. We are open to various levels of communication you may be comfortable with. We pray that you will have peace with your decision and promise we will always value you and the selfless love you have.
About Us
We met more than 19 years ago as kids, throwing snowballs in the street, and have been married for almost ten years now! We became best friends over the years, and our relationship grew into an unconditional love for each other that keeps on growing. Cory is our rock; he is level-headed, faithful, and very funny! He works as an HVAC specialist for a small company that values family. He is a great guitar player and even plays on our church’s worship team. He loves learning and most recently started woodworking. Danielle brings so much love to our family. She is passionate, selfless, and giving. She is the youth leader at our church and loves spending time with kids. She likes taking classes at the YMCA and swimming, and she works as an HR specialist with a family-friendly company. We love spending time together; at night, we spend time together in the kitchen, cooking dinner, cleaning up, and often breaking into song and dance. When it’s nice out, you can find us together at the pool, zoo, or on a bike ride around town.
Our Home & Pets
We are blessed to have a beautiful home in a great neighborhood. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are all open, which is what drew us to the home, as it promotes togetherness. The area also opens to a sunroom that has been made into the perfect play room for us to play games together and spend time playing make-believe! We also have a music room with lots of different instruments to play and learn. We have a large backyard, with swings and slides and a path straight to a beautiful bike trail that leads to several parks we love going to with our daughter. Our family also includes two loving dogs who will cuddle up with us on the couch or hang out with us outside while playing catch.
Our Extended Family
Our parents are our biggest fans. They love having a grandchild and are extremely excited that we are adding to our family again. Our parents and siblings all live within 20 minutes of us. Danielle is the oldest of four children, and her siblings love to come over and hang out. We go over to Danielle’s family’s houses often to swim and have large grill-out parties in the summer, and we have big Christmas get-togethers with many family traditions, such as decorating cookies, playing games, and just hanging out and sharing lots of laughs.
Cory’s parents attend church with us, so we get to see them every Sunday and often go out to dinner with them. Cory’s family also has a big gathering every year. There are almost 50 people who participate in some very crazy and unique games, like human disk golf, golf cart races with full water cups in the back you can’t spill, or taking pennies off mouse traps without getting snapped. It reminds us of the show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” where the games are made up and the points don’t matter!
We also live in a town with many close friends we hang out with often on weekends, including a Bible study on Sundays with friends and their children. It is great to share and fellowship with them while listening to a house full of energetic and happy kids.
Our Adoption Story
We have always wanted children and tried to conceive before our adoption journey began; however, this was not in our cards, so we knew God was drawing us to adoption. Danielle’s family has been touched by adoption, as Danielle was adopted by her father when she was six and her cousin was adopted into their family as an infant. We started out on our journey and met our daughter’s parents, and it’s been three years since we adopted Lexi. She brings so much love and joy to our family and we know that will only continue to grow as our family does.

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!
