dear expectant mother
We know this is such a difficult time for you and want you to know we admire your strength, perseverance, and determination to see your pregnancy through. The idea that you would consider our family to raise your baby is such an unbelievable blessing.
We are beyond excited at the possibility of welcoming a second child into our home. This baby will be loved so strongly and will be provided with an opportunity to become whatever they strive for in life. We feel we can provide a nurturing, stable environment that will allow your child to feel comforted, loved, and supported. Holly cannot wait to introduce horses into their life, and Thomas cannot wait to take them fishing. Weekends will be spent going out on the boat looking for dolphins or heading to the mountains to do some hiking. We want to show your child how much joy can be gathered simply through experiencing the outdoors.
We will do everything we can to understand and support your child’s interests while helping guide them in the right direction to become a strong, functional, kind adult. We want them to have a passion for life and know they have a purpose in this world. We want to give your child every opportunity we know you would want for him or her. You will never need to worry about our love for your child. Thank you so much for considering us as possible adoptive parents. We wish you the best.
About Us
We are veterinarians and own our own practices. We love being able to share our love for animals together through the co-ownership of our practices. Holly is an avid equine enthusiast who enjoys riding her horse, Rupert, through the beautiful l country. Thomas is a die-hard fly fishing enthusiast who spends much of his time wading through the lowcountry flats. Although we have different hobbies, we both enjoy spending time together while doing these hobbies. We are huge animal lovers and have many pets we share our time with! We both enjoy spending our free time outdoors and exploring new places. We adore sharing this with our son, and we hope to be able to share it with our new addition sometime soon!
Our Home & Pets
Our home is set on eight acres of what we believe to be paradise. The acreage consists of our horse pasture, hardwood trees, beautiful ponds, and a garden. Our home gives us the opportunity to enjoy and experience what nature has to offer right outside our back door. Our neighborhood is “farmlet” style with each home sitting on five to eight acres. We are very close with our neighbors and enjoy the close friendships we have developed with them. We can envision our future child loving to play in the treehouse, playing with our Shetland pony, and expanding their imagination while experiencing the outdoors. We believe our children will benefit in many ways from the security and comfort of growing up in this type of environment.
Our Extended Family
Our traditions include spending Thanksgiving with Holly’s family and Christmas Eve with Thomas’s family. We are very big on spending Christmas morning at our house, allowing our child (and next child) to wake up at their own house to see what Santa has brought. We always leave carrots for the reindeer. They cannot be forgotten! Easter mornings consist of Easter egg hunts and written letters from the Easter bunny. We want to make sure our children have wonderful childhood memories to last them a lifetime.
Our parents are so excited about this hopeful adoption! They are all so excited about the possibility of another grandchild. In addition, our little boy is ecstatic over the idea of a brother or sister. He has already started helping us pick out names. We can promise you this baby will be SO loved and cherished and raised to the best of our ability.
What Led Us To Adoption
We are so excited about the possible addition and adoption of our second child. We are ecstatic about our son getting a brother or sister and being able to share our home with our future child. We have heard beautiful adoption stories from close friends, including one of our associate veterinarians (who was adopted herself as a newborn). We love thinking about the hopeful life we could provide for our prospective adopted child. We believe the addition would help make our family complete.

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!
