About Us
Hello! We are Gary and Jen and are looking forward to getting to know you. We have been together since 1997 and have been happily married since 2002. We have an 8-year-old son named Aiden who is the light of our lives. Gary is a computer teacher/technology coordinator at a private school in Chicago. He coaches the girl’s basketball team at school, as well as most of Aiden’s sports teams. He loves to travel, play sports, and currently has a side business to help older people learn how to use technology. Jen is a stay at home mom and currently provides day care to our baby nephew. She loves to travel, garden, and volunteers for Meals on Wheels once a month. We are so excited to begin our adoption journey together and expand our family.
Our Home & Pets
We built our home about 4 years ago in a wonderful neighborhood full of young families. We live in a rural/suburban town in Northwest Indiana. Our home has 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths. We have a large yard that our two dogs Abby and Tobey can run around in. Our two cats Jules and Tide also enjoy sneaking out to play. We recently built a patio with a fire pit where we spend a lot of time with family when the weather is warm. The town is also building a new park down the street with a playground, ballparks, and eventually an area to have entertainment for families to enjoy.
Our Extended Family
Gary has one younger brother and an older sister. There are 5 nieces and nephews between the two. His sister and dad live about a mile away and we get together for dinner a couple times a week. We also go on family vacations together every other summer. Jen has 2 younger sisters and a younger brother. We have 3 nephews on her side. Her sister, brother and mom live a mile away from our home. We get together for a family dinner every Sunday and are in contact with each other every day. Our family is very tight knit and is so excited to have another baby in the family!
What Led Us To Adoption
After the birth of our son, we tried for several years to conceive another child with no success. After going to a few doctors we found out it was not going to be very easy for us to conceive again. We focused on raising our son and began talking about the possibility of adopting. We finally made the decision to complete our family. Our son is old enough to understand the journey of adoption and he is excited to become a big brother!

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!
