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 through adoption who will be an amazing big sister. She is outgoing, ready to love on her sibling and be by their side for all life adventures, eager listen to all their secrets, and excited to share a lifelong bond.
We are excited to meet with you and hope to have an open, ongoing relationship with you, to share updates, growths and milestones along the way. We pray that you will have peace with your decision. We will always value you and the selfless love you have for your child.
About Us
We met more than 18 years ago as kids, and we have now been married for more than eight years. We are fully committed to one another and take our wedding vows seriously. We have an unconditional love that keeps growing, and we work hard on communication skills to ensure we continue our strong marriage. As long as our home is always filled with love, we’ve succeeded. Cory is level-headed, calm, loving, considerate, faithful, and very funny! He works as an HVAC specialist for a small company that values family. He plays guitar on our church’s worship team, loves learning (most recently wood-working), and has picked up cycling. Danielle is passionate, honest, selfless, giving, and incredibly loving. She is the youth leader at our church and loves spending time with kids. She likes taking classes at the YMCA and swimming. She works as an HR specialist with a family-friendly company.
Our Home & Pets
We recently moved to a beautiful new home, with four bedrooms and four baths. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are all open, which is what drew us to the home, as it promotes togetherness. There is a sunroom that has been made into the perfect play room and an open office off the other side, making a whimsical 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 that we love visiting. We also have two loving dogs, a black lab who is curious and great with kids and a small beagle mix who loves cuddling.
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. 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. They love play-fighting over who is the favorite aunt or uncle. We go over to Danielle’s mom’s house often to swim and have large grill-out parties with extended family at her dad’s. Her extended family always holds big Christmas get-togethers with many family traditions, such as decorating cookies and playing games.
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. It is a full weekend event with lots of food, love, and laughter.
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; unfortunately, a traditional birth was not our path. We knew this was God’s way of drawing us to adoption to grow the family we’ve always dreamed of. Danielle’s family has been touched by adoption, as Danielle was adopted by her father when she was six and her cousin was adopted as an infant. Our journey to adopting our daughter, Lexi was also quite magical. We met her parents about a month before she was born and everything clicked. We made it out to where she was born shortly after her birth and were able to spend time together as a big family in the hospital.

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!
