dear expectant mother
We admire you so very much for your strength and the selfless love you have for your child to make an adoption plan. We know whatever choice you make for your child will be made out of the deep love you have for your baby. We pray for your child every day and cannot wait to meet him or her someday.
We have five biological children and find deep purpose and joy in being their parents. As a parent, there are seasons of challenges, change, laughter, joy, and tears, but through it all, we embrace all stages with the strength we receive from God.
Our favorite family memories are traveling, camping, or simply sharing stories around the kitchen table during our evening meals. We would so love for your child to be a part of those memories, whether around a campfire or around the table. Our motto for our children is “Give them wings to fly, roots to come back to, and reasons to pursue what we taught them.”
About Us
We have been married for twenty-two years, and we are business owners with a full and exciting life. We believe in living life to the fullest and not only pursuing our dreams and developing our talents but also supporting the dreams and talents of our children as well. Dennis is a welder and steel fabricator, while Rose is a stay-at-home mom enjoying her career as a wife and mother. Dennis is a self-motivated, dedicated husband with a rare passion for his work and the people around him. Rose finds purpose and fulfillment walking beside him as his wife and loving her family taking care of her family’s needs. Our motto is work hard then play harder.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a ranch-style home with four cozy bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a yellow sunroom with a fireplace that we sit by to open our gifts every Christmas. We live in a cozy town on two acres, and our family has a garden every summer with fresh vegetables that we either enjoy right away or can in the fall. Our community enjoys spending summer days swimming or riding bikes and our evenings gathered at the ballpark playing softball. Friends tend to come over often to relax at our home for a campfire and s'mores or a cookout with steak and hamburgers. We can’t wait for your child to experience the memories he/she will create with our wonderful, supportive community and family.
Our Extended Family
Our extended family is very special to us, and we both come from a family of seven. Each year we look forward to our annual camping trips as well as our Christmas traditions. On Christmas Eve, we gather together and have an evening full of games, coffee, and food. The next day we celebrate it with gifts and, of course, more food. We have lots of nieces who are keeping close tabs on our adoption process. They are super excited and can’t wait to meet this child.
What Led Us To Adoption
Rose has always had a heart for adoption. As a child, she was surrounded by many family members who either fostered or adopted sweet children. The fun memories Rose made with these wonderful children was something she always kept close to her heart. In fact, one of her best friends growing up was her adopted cousin, and this planted the seed to want to adopt her own children one day. We wanted to add to our family, but after some high-risk pregnancies and births, we knew the time had finally come to pursue our passion for children and add to our family by adopting a wonderful child.

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!
