dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
We have put so much thought into this process and waited until the time was right for us to start our family. Trying to find the words to express our gratitude for considering making this dream of ours come true is difficult. We understand this decision takes a lot of thought and requires a very loving heart from you. It must be so difficult, but we want you to know your baby will be so very loved and taken care of if you choose us. It is a truly selfless gift you would be giving us.
We have known from young ages that we wanted to be dads. We have nieces and nephews who bring us so much joy. We enjoy watching them grow up and attend all of their sports and school activities. We cannot wait until we get to be the parents going to these events. Family has always been a big part of our life as well as having family traditions we continue. We’re also looking forward to starting some new ones of our own.
Thank you again for considering providing us with the blessing of being able to have a family of our own and the ability to love your child. They will be our world!
About Us
We met when Cory moved into the townhouse next door to Jose. We frequented the same local hangout spots and found out we were neighbors. That summer we started spending more and more time hanging out with a mutual group of friends. By the end of that summer, we were inseparable. We are outgoing and love spending time with friends and family. We are definitely pranksters, always playing jokes on each other and our coworkers. We enjoy going on adventures and finding new places to visit. In our free time, we go to Disneyland with friends and family. We are passionate, hard workers and love our jobs. We both work in management, leading large teams. Jose is in sales and distribution, and Cory works in training management. We make time to volunteer monthly at our local shelter. Road trips and camping are our way of escaping the hustle and bustle of our jobs.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a charming 1940s craftsman-style home with all the modern updates on a quiet street within walking distance from the university and downtown. We enjoy doing small home improvement projects to make our house our home. We recently built a white picket fence as a summer project. We like to spend most of our time in our backyard we landscaped with water fountains and an outdoor entertainment area. We have two French bulldogs: Bruno (3) and Lola (2). They love going on walks in our neighborhood and stopping at all the neighbors’ houses for rubs and attention. They are both well trained and very playful with our nieces and nephews. We are walking distance from the elementary school Cory attended as a child.
Our Extended Family
Cory comes from a small family consisting of his parents and older sister. They only live a few minutes from us, so we get to spend a lot of time together. His sister has four children we take on Disney trips and weekend getaways. Cory grew up camping with his family, and Jose has jumped right into the camping and outdoors lifestyle.
Jose comes from a small immediate family with his mother and younger brother. He has a large extended family with his mom being one of ten siblings. We enjoy having dinner and game nights at his grandparents’ with his aunts and cousins who live in the area. Our favorite tradition is Christmas Eve at his grandparents’ with all of our extended family and having tamales and playing games until we open gifts at midnight. On Christmas morning, we all get together at his sister-in-law’s house with Cory’s parents and grandmother from Idaho.
Easter Sunday is our holiday. We have both sides of the family over for lunch and a huge Easter egg hunt for the kids. We go all out with decorations and cooking for 25 people. Our families love getting together and having barbecues in our backyard.
What Led Us To Adoption
Growing up with such close and loving families, we knew we wanted a family of our own someday. Every option to have a child was considered, from surrogacy to a friend carrying our baby, but adoption felt like the right choice for us. We have nothing but space and love to give. We are excited about adoption and to be chosen by a baby’s mother as the perfect family for her baby.

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!
