dear expectant mother
THANK YOU for the blessing you are considering giving us! We have dreamed of starting a family for such a long time, and after years of waiting, we know adoption is perfect for us. If you choose us, your baby will be loved by so many people, not just by us but our extended family.
We are excited to start making family traditions like we had growing up, from carving pumpkins together and making gingerbread houses to baking Italian and traditional Christmas cookies and Easter egg hunts in our yard as well as going on family vacations. We have always wanted children, and we are so excited that it may finally come true! We would hope our child would become great friends with their cousins, like we were with our own! Our baby would be loved and cherished by so many!
Since we both had such good childhoods, we can’t wait to give that same experience to our child. Cecil, our dog, would love to have a child in the home. He loves people and adores our nieces, who love to chase and play fetch with him. We can’t wait to introduce our baby to our family and friends, who are so very excited to meet the baby. We have been on a long journey to get to this point, and we feel so fortunate and honored that you would consider making our dream come true!
Thank you sincerely,
Emily and Colby
About Us
We met in our sophomore year of high school. Our siblings went on a few dates before we met, and Emily and her family lived next door to Colby’s aunt and uncle. There has been a longstanding belief we were meant for each other. We started dating after Emily asked Colby to our first school dance. We stayed together throughout high school and college. We then married in September 2004. Emily works for an eye doctor group as an appointment scheduler, and Colby works as a registered nurse. We are best friends still, always giving each other a kiss and hug for hellos and goodbyes. We are truthful and honest with one another. We feel that we will provide a tight-knit, loving, and fun family for our newest blessing. We will give a child every opportunity we can possibly offer and support them always and in any way we can.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a two-story, new construction, farmhouse-styled home. We have a nice front yard and a decent-sized fenced backyard. It is perfect right now for our dog, Cecil. Cecil is a miniature dapple dachshund, who is nine months old. Cecil is the friendliest dachshund we have ever met! Since our home is located in a new construction neighborhood, there are a lot of young families with children. We have sidewalks on both sides of the street and throughout the neighborhood. We also have a few neighborhood parks, a basketball court, a miniature soccer field, a playground, and a dog park scattered throughout the neighborhood. We feel very safe and love this community.
Our Extended Family
We both have one older sibling each. They are both married, and we have three nieces. Our parents are similar in age. We both have many aunts, uncles, and cousins we are close with. Our cousins are close in age with us too, and many have little ones who will be able to grow up with our new addition. Our parents and extended families get along really well and often share holidays and birthdays with one another.
We go to each other’s houses for all the holidays. We enjoy going to the pumpkin patch with our nieces and making Italian ravioli and Christmas cookies with our family. Holidays are really important to our family. Everyone gets together, eats fabulous home-cooked meals, has great conversations, and just enjoys the time spent with each other. When we were children, we enjoyed spending the night at our grandparents’ or aunts and uncles’ houses during the summer or other special times.
Our entire extended family, on both sides, has expressed enthusiastic excitement for us in regard to us adopting a baby. They can’t wait to be new grandparents, aunts, and uncles again.
What Led Us To Adoption
Our journey to adoption has been a long one, and due to a health issue, we knew our path to growing our family would be adoption. We can’t wait for our new family member and the opportunity to put all our love into a child who is blessed to us by a brave mother. We are so grateful to the mother who is willing to allow us to provide a wonderfully loving, fun, happy, and supportive family for her 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!
