dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
First, we would like to honor, respect, and hold space for this moment in time. Thank you for taking the time to catch a glimpse of our lives. We hope the love we feel for one another, our families, and our community has shown through the pages and pictures. We want you to know you have our warmest encouragement and support.
We can’t imagine what it’s been like up to this point, but we hope to invite peace and comfort into your life knowing we are two individuals who truly believe in empowering children to be their most authentic selves. As an interracial couple, we have been met with unique challenges over the years that have led to us advising other families/co-workers on raising children from diverse backgrounds. We look forward to pouring the best parts of both of us into a child and know they will always be protected.
About Us
Hello! We are Gabi and Macy. We are excited to introduce ourselves to you. We have been together almost ten years and have built a foundation on love, faith, trust, and respect. We met at new employee orientation and connected over music, culture, food, and our love of community building. Gabi is a family service coordinator at a non-profit in town, and Macy is a therapist and senior advisor at a local healthcare center. We are actively involved in our community, serving on local boards and volunteering. We make the time to spend time with those most important to us and fill our cups to encourage one another. Our relationship is based on empathetic communication, shared values, and a deep understanding of one another. We come from differing backgrounds and believe it has enriched our lives in infinite ways. We hope our profile gives you a glimpse of our love, community, and feeling of home we can offer a child.
Our Home & Pets
Our hometown is bustling with live music, high school and college sports, and band competitions. Fall is our favorite time of year, when the leaves on our main streets start changing colors; it feels perfect for hoodies and bonfires. The neighborhood we live in has a daycare around the corner, several schools, and a local pool where Macy is the VP of the board. Our home is quaint and brick, with a fenced-in backyard to keep our dog, Max, contained. A labradoodle in name only, she appears like a Lab until her hair starts to curl up when she gets wet. Our cats, Toby and Stella, lounge and put up with our antics when we want to clean to loud music or watch basketball games. It can feel like organized chaos, but we call it home.
Our Extended Family
Our extended family members are wonderful sources of support for us. Both sets of our parents live within ten minutes of us, and many of Gabi’s extended family members remain within our county limits; some are a long car ride or plane ride away. Gabi’s extended family members on the West Coast send pictures of her young cousins on the beach. Gabi has three siblings, with two living on either coast and one a few hours away in Illinois. Her brother has two young children, and Gabi adores being their aunt.
Macy has many family members in densely populated areas of the country and enjoys quick trips to see them. Often we will pack a weekend bag and stay with Macy’s younger sibling, who works at a university in the city. When we visit our extended family members, we like to bring card games to play and stay up talking way too late like we’re all teenagers again. Each of us have strong bonds with our siblings and look forward to the day when we can all take one big trip together.
What Led Us To Adoption
As a same-gender, loving, interracial couple, we knew building a family would come with its own set of unique and wonderful experiences. We have dreamed of building a family since our early years together and often talked about what it would be like to raise and love children together. We’ve both worked alongside adoptive parents, foster parents, and their children in our work lives and always felt it in our souls we would embark on our own journey one day. We understand that adoption is a journey filled with love, intention, dedication, and commitment, and we look forward to the incredible adventure.

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!
