dear expectant mother
We know this is an incredibly difficult time for you and can’t even begin to understand what you are going through right now, both physically and emotionally. We are so honored to be considered to love and cherish your child. If you choose us, we will raise your child in a happy, loving home and make sure they have every opportunity to thrive and grow into an amazing and kind person.
If you choose us, your child will have two wonderful older brothers, very close in age to them, and lots of cousins to play and have adventures with. Family means everything to us.
We wish you the best and hope that even if you don’t choose us, you find the perfect path for you and your precious child.
A note from Dave:
I had a pregnancy scare very early on in my career (long before I met Danielle), and I remember thinking about how I just wasn’t at a place in my life where I could give a child the amount of time and love they absolutely deserved. If there are things you still want to do with your life and you want to have your child provided for and completely loved and cared for, we’re the family you’re looking for. We want you to have the chance to accomplish everything you’ve ever dreamed of while knowing your child is getting all the love and attention parents can provide.
About Us
Hello! We are Dave and Danielle, we have been married for eight years and have two awesome little boys, Kit and Asher. We know they will make amazing big brothers! We met on a university team that builds solar-powered race cars and became close friends who then fell in love. We are both electrical engineers and work from home, which is really amazing and allows us to have a good work/home balance.
Danielle about Dave: He is always doing some project or other and loves spending time with our kids/nieces/nephews. He’s funny, loving, and always up for an adventure.
Dave about Danielle: She is very organized and caring, wonderful with kids, and always planning fun activities for the family.
We love being outside hiking, camping, and exploring our beautiful area. We spend our time inside playing board games with Danielle’s family, cooking healthy delicious food, and relaxing to a good movie.
Our Home
We live in a quiet neighborhood with kids riding bikes and people walking pets, running, and enjoying the outdoors. There is a wonderful park nearby that we walk to with our kids almost daily for playing and picnics. There are great schools within walking distance of our house, as well as our favorite frozen yogurt place. Our home is a spacious five-bedroom house with a huge backyard that has a playground, sandbox, garden, fruit trees, and a large BBQ area that sees many summer parties.
Our Extended Family
We are both very close with our families, and we do group chats with them daily. Danielle is the second oldest of six kids and has lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins. Her siblings and parents are all very close and live anywhere from a couple minutes to a few hours away. They get together regularly for holidays and birthdays and spend a lot of time together doing activities like camping, hiking, painting nights, movie nights, house projects, and lots more!
Dave is the oldest of four kids and also has lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins. Dave and his siblings all talk regularly and visit each other as often as possible. Dave’s family is more spread out around the world, with a sister in Brazil, a sister in California, and a brother in Wisconsin, but we still try to see them whenever we can. We do Christmas in his hometown every other year. We actually bought his grandparents’ house, and it is now our home away from home.
We have a combined 12 nieces and nephews and love spending time with all of them! Dave is well known as the “fun uncle” in the family.
What Led Us To Adoption
We have both been interested in adoption for some time. Once we started our family, we knew we wanted a blended family of adopted and biological children, and this sentiment was solidified for us when our youngest was born. We believe love and acceptance are what make a family, and we can’t wait to grow our family through the powerful journey of adoption. We look forward to seeing all of our children learn and grow together and form lifelong bonds of friendship like we have with our siblings. Both of our families are so loving and supportive of our decision to adopt and can’t wait to meet our newest family member.

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!
