dear expectant mother
Thank you for taking a glimpse into our lives and learning about who we are and what brought us to you! We know this is a challenging time for you while you figure out the best option for you and your precious baby. We hope you feel supported and loved no matter where you are in that journey. We know how much you love your child, and we pray for you both every day. With Danielle being adopted herself, we are familiar with what a selfless, loving act you are currently walking through. We are humbled by your courage and strength in considering adoption.
We want to assure you we will cherish and love your child and will provide a safe, happy home and a life with every opportunity possible if you choose us. We are looking forward to making sure he or she knows who they are and where they come, starting at the very beginning. Their story will be shared with them, and we will openly discuss what a blessing you are to our world. We will provide a safe space for them to be who they are meant to be and to follow in the path they choose, and we will support them no matter what.
As you walk through this decision, please know you are covered in prayer and love by two strangers who would be blessed and honored to be a part of this journey with you through all of the tears and joys.
Danielle and Eric
About Us
Eight years ago, we met at a parade through Eric’s brother. We became friends instantly and had a really special connection. Pretty quickly we became inseparable and fell in love. We truly felt we were brought into each other’s lives for a reason and understood the meaning of a soulmate. For the last few years, we have both settled into our careers. with Eric being a truck driver and Danielle in management for a staffing company. We both enjoy our lines of work and feel blessed to be able to do something we love with the flexibility of work–life balance, which we feel is extremely important. We are excited to grow our loving family together and continue God’s path for us.
Our Home & Pets
We recently moved into our dream home in a small lake town in Indiana. We have four bedrooms, three baths, and a spacious yard. We have close relationships with our neighbors and love spending time outside with them. We enjoy taking our border collie, Lucy, on walks around the neighborhood and to the park down the street. In the summer, we drive down to the small beach on the lake and enjoy the sunshine. In the evenings, we spend time at our local farmers market listening to the bands and walking around shopping at local vendors. We love the family-oriented town we ended up in and are looking forward to raising our children here.
Our Extended Family
We are incredibly lucky to both have loving families who support us and guide us in our lives every step of the way. We spend a lot of time with our families playing games, having cookouts, and celebrating birthdays and holidays.
We love getting together on the Fourth of July; Eric’s dad puts on a great firework show, and we play volleyball. We love Christmastime with Danielle’s family. They continue their tradition of hiding the pickle on the tree, and whichever cousin finds it gets the prize. Family is the most important thing in both of our lives, which is one of the reasons we were so drawn and attracted to one another. We can’t wait to add more littles ones to our family to join in such fun traditions!
What Led Us To Adoption
We always knew we were interested in growing our family through adoption because Danielle and her brother were both adopted into a loving family and felt very strongly about doing the same one day. A few years ago, we learned of Eric’s inability to naturally conceive, which led to us discussing what our next chapter looked like. We both decided adoption felt like a natural next step for us, and we felt a sense of peace with that decision. It’s hard not to feel that God brought us together for this specific reason. We have never been happier in knowing this is the path we were brought to and pray every day for our future child and their birthmother.

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!
