dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
We were married in 2016 and quickly began trying to start a family. Unfortunately, infertility issues, including two miscarriages, have prevented us from having children on our own. While our journey has been difficult, it has made our relationship stronger. We always knew we wanted to expand our family through adoption. After much consideration and praying, we felt in our hearts that this was the right moment.
We are both very grateful and honored you are considering us as adoptive parents. We realize this journey is difficult for you and fully respect your brave and selfless decision in choosing an adoption plan. Please know your child will be truly cherished, loved, and cared for. We will provide them with all their needs, including a good education, a safe home, and an environment where they will be nurtured.
We are excited to share many experiences with your child, such as watching Disney movies together, reading books before bed, playing on the swingset at the park, cooking with the family on Christmas Eve, going on family vacations to Disneyland to ride Dumbo, making s’mores on camping trips, and building sandcastles at the beach.
Please know you will always have a special place in our hearts and our family. You’re not only bringing love and life to your child but bringing joy to our family. Thank you for your time and consideration. No matter what you decide, we wish you all the best.
Sincerely yours,
Eddie and Erica

About Us
We met on a blind date set up through a mutual friend in 2012. We dated for four years and experienced new adventures together. We went ziplining and camping and ran a half marathon together. We also spent hours on the couch drinking tea and sharing stories of our pasts as well as our hopes and dreams for the future. In October 2016 we tied the knot. We both enjoy our time together as well as our separate careers. Eddie joined the Air Force after high school and has been in ever since. Erica is a manager for a financial company where she started as an intern in college. We enjoy spending time with our family and friends, traveling, and working out together. We continue to grow as a couple, learning new things about each other and making the best of every day.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a family-friendly neighborhood with plenty of parks and an excellent school district. Our home is a three-bedroom house located on a safe cul-de-sac, which we chose with future children in mind. We have a nice backyard with plenty of space to build a playground and room for your child to play. We have two pets, a cat named Leo and a friendly beagle mix dog named Roxy. We’re excited to take our child to the places we enjoyed growing up, like the local zoo, museums, and theme parks.
Our Extended Family
We both have very close and tight-knit families who are very supportive of our journey to adopt. Eddie has four older sisters in California, with nine nieces and nephews, while Erica has one older and one younger brother. We have both experienced the loss of our fathers, but despite these tragedies, we both have our mothers, who are extremely excited to be grandmothers.
We are also very close with our extended families (aunts, uncles, and cousins). We normally get together as a family to celebrate birthdays, holidays, and reunions. We look forward to sharing with your child our traditions of baking cookies and making tamales at Christmas, game nights with our brothers and sisters, and listening to family stories.
What Led Us To Adoption
While we were dating, we both shared the same dream of expanding our family through adoption. It wasn’t a matter of if we would adopt but rather when the time would be right. The challenges of conceiving on our own have been difficult but have made us a stronger couple. We both know in our hearts that our next journey together is to adopt. We’re very excited to open our hearts and our home to a 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!
