dear expectant mother
Our first thought is of you and how you are navigating one of the biggest decisions of your life. Whatever feelings you are processing, please know we are in awe of you and honored to be considered in this major decision. Our heart is not only for your child but for you as well.
As a mother herself, Jen wants to be clear and let you know you are not alone in this journey (unless that is what you prefer). We will support you through this process however you desire—nothing more, nothing less.
Should you decide that we are the family for your child, please know that our family highly values and respects truth, integrity, kindness, honesty, cultural differences, traditions (new and old), peace, and experiences through adventure. Your baby will understand their story and be celebrated, loved, and encouraged to become who they are meant to be as an individual every day of their life.
Thank you for your agape love (in Christianity, the highest form of love) for your child and for considering our family to be part of your adoption process.
With love and blessings,
Jen & Jason
About Us
We are a blended family of five with two “big kids” who have already left the nest. We work remotely, and our daughter Mary attends preschool. A typical week includes working, dinner together (sometimes around the table and sometimes watching a movie/show), swimming lessons, taking walks, or other activities. On weekends, we work on house projects, attend community events, host events in our home, attend church, spend time with family, or just rest. Every year our entire family rents a condo on the beach and spends the week having fun together playing, eating too much, and shopping. It’s a highlight for sure! We love the holidays, and family always comes over to celebrate. We LOVE it! We have compatible personalities. Jason is patient, understanding, peaceful, and strategic and enjoys bad dad jokes. Jen is a free spirit who appreciates adventure and keeps the family organized.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a small community surrounded by nature, hiking trails, and a pond where we swim in the summer and ice skate in the winter. We see deer every day! Our neighborhood has “Fun Fridays” where one family brings treats for the kids getting off the bus. Luminarias are placed around the pond during Christmas, an egg hunt is on the trails for Easter, and there is a potluck during Halloween. We have rescued two dogs. Hazel is a beagle mix and sweet as they come. Luna is a Lab/husky mix and just wants to love anyone who will allow her to be close to them. Our home is a blessing that we share with our friends and family. There’s lots of love, laughter, sometimes tears, growth, learning, and always acceptance in our home.
Our Extended Family
We both have relatively small families but are very close knit. Both Jason’s parents are local, and his sister lives in Florida. Jen’s mother lives in Florida, but her father and stepmother and her sister and her fiance are both local. Between the two of us, there are six grandparents, two aunts, three cousins, and multiple step-family members as well. In addition to our traditional families, we have an extensive community of friends we consider family.
Our families get together every year for the holidays and have a fantastic time cooking, watching football, and just being together. We also love to vacation together at the beach.
It is 100% certain that there will be laughing until tears flow, and hearts are full when we all get together. During the times when we are not celebrating birthdays, attending school functions, or enjoying the holidays, we are always connecting with each other over text or phone calls. Family is everything to us, and we are blessed with all the love and support in the world!
What Led Us To Adoption
We both have different reasons for wanting to grow our family through adoption. Jason and his sister were adopted and experienced firsthand the unconditional love and acceptance his family gave him as a baby and every day since. Jen has traveled the world doing mission work and came to appreciate the need and love of a mother to place her child for adoption. It was in India that she knew her family would grow through adoption and was confirmed while visiting an orphanage in South Africa. Before we decided to get married, we agreed that our family would grow through pregnancy and adoption; it is that important to us. We both have so much love to give and believe the time is right for our family.

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!
