dear expectant mother
We recognize we are not the typical family pursuing adoption, but if you are looking for a large family full of fun and love to welcome your baby, we would be honored for you to consider us. We look forward to sharing a look into our home and lives to give you a better picture of who we are as a family!
The love we have is shown in many ways, including activities like cooking, playing games, watching movies, and the family favorite, which is traveling to new places! Your baby will have the support of eight siblings, parents, and extended family dedicated to watching over him or her. Our home is known by many as the place people feel happy, safe, and secure. We cannot wait to show this new little one how to shoot a basketball, swim in the pool, catch a fish, and make smores on a cool night with family and friends.
We promise to love, guide, and provide endless opportunities to your baby. From being there during scary times with hugs and kisses to providing a great education to traveling the world, we will walk alongside him or her. We are a warm and loving family, and we often express love and admiration for our adopted children’s birth mothers. We consider them brave heros to our children and family. We are very excited to share our love, home, and knowledge with this wonderful blessing from you.
About Us
We have been best friends for over 10 years and got married in Central Park in New York about four years ago. We have both been in the medical field for over 20 years and are fortunate to have our own company, which provides financial stability and allows our time to be flexible with family activities. We have a wonderful blended family of eight kids (some are adults). Brian brought five amazing kids to the family, and two of them are adopted. Jen brought three amazing kids to the family, and we couldn’t be more proud of how close they are to each other. Everyone who knows us speaks about how much we love children and how important family is to us. We are a family built by grace, and our goal is that the kids feel this daily.
Our Home & Pets
We live in an eight-bedroom, nine-bathroom home in a safe, beautiful gated community in Ohio. The nursery is directly adjacent to the master bedroom. There are endless activities for the entire family, including a playground, an exercise facility with indoor basketball courts, a golf course, tennis courts, and a community pool. On a typical day in the neighborhood, you will see many families walking and running or on bicycles or golf carts. Our school system is terrific. We are in close proximity to airports, making it convenient to travel, which is one of our favorite things to do as a family. Our family has one cute little dog. She is a mini Aussiedoodle named Dasha.
Our Extended Family
We cannot wait to introduce the baby to our entire family. We have a family lake house about 20 minutes from home, and we spend an extraordinary amount of time there in the summer boating, tubing, kayaking, and swimming. Often both of our extended families will be gathered there on a weekend to celebrate birthdays. The kids love when their cousins are there too, and they have sleepovers at the lake house. The Fourth of July at the lake is so much fun; we take the boats out to watch fireworks.
Brian has one brother, who also works in our company, and he and his wife have four kids. Brian’s parents live about an hour away, but we get to see them often, and they are very involved in the kids’ lives and activities. Jen has two brothers, and they have four adult children who have children of their own. Jen’s mom lives in a condo about two minutes from the house, which makes it convenient for her to pop over and help in any way needed. The kids look forward to her coming over and baking cookies with them or her making them a home-cooked meal of chicken and dumplings.
What Led Us To Adoption
Adoption has been on our hearts for a very long time. As a family, we have so much love to share, and it felt like the logical next step. We feel fortunate to already have two adopted children who will be excellent support systems for your child. It was extra special talking with our two adopted daughters about adopting again. Our children are all overjoyed about adding another sibling to our family and cannot wait to show him or her the ropes. We can’t wait to tell you how each sibling reacted to the news!

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!
