dear expectant mother
It takes a brave woman to place a child for adoption, putting all of your faith into a family you've only met through letters, pictures, and phone calls. We cannot fathom the sheer strength it takes in choosing a family for your child. If you picture a life full of love, support, happiness and weekly family gatherings then we are the family.
An adopted child isn’t given up, he or she is given a family, unconditional love and a future of opportunities. They say it takes a village to raise a child, this child will not only be surrounded by the love of immediate family but extended family and friends as they support our efforts to adopt. Our hope is that we are chosen to expand our family through your love and generosity. The greatest gift anyone could ever give is a piece of their heart to make another's whole and for that, we are forever grateful.
About Us
We have been together for seven years and married for five and we have a four year old little boy named Forest which we absolutely adore. Ed and I met at a McDonald's I was working at in high school, I took his order for a number two and a coke and we've been together ever since. Ed owns his own tree service and I am a barber on an Air Force base.In my spare time I enjoy baking, refinishing furniture and spending time with family. Ed's hobbies include going to auctions, riding atvs, antique tractors and of course spoiling our little boy!
Our Home & Pets
We live on five acres on the outskirts of our little town. Our home has four bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. Our backyard is large and fenced in which is perfect for our pets. We have a pot belly pig, a goat and three little dogs.
Our Extended Family
Ed and I are very close to our families. As a matter of fact all of our family live in the same town. My sister lives next door with her husband and our two-year-old niece, my grandparents live behind us and my parents are just a etreet over! It's so nice living so close. Ed’s parents are no more than a five-minute drive across town. We are constantly having get togethers and we have parties for every holiday for the kids to enjoy. The only ones missing are Ed’s sister and brother in law who are currently living in Washington.
What Led Us To Adoption
When our son was about a year old we started trying to conceive again. After about a year we sought medical intervention. Unfortunately, the treatments were unsuccessful. We fell into the category of unexplained infertility. Ed and I knew we were meant to have more children and we truly believe it's God leading us to adoption.

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!
