dear expectant mother
Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know us! We are grateful for your courage and are here to support you through your choice of creating an adoption plan. If you choose to make adoption a part of your path forward, we want you to know we will love and treasure your beautiful baby. We would sincerely love to provide a stable and secure home where a child’s hopes and dreams will be nurtured in every way.
We want to assure you we will respect you in whatever level of openness and contact you want to have with your child. We are not able to have a biological child, and we can’t wait to give our unconditional love, support, and encouragement to your child. We want them to be well educated in their cultural heritage and to have experiences and adventures that will develop them into a well-rounded, thoughtful individual.
Know that we are praying for you and your sweet baby throughout your pregnancy and hoping you will find peace in whatever decision you make.
About Us
Jen is a naturopathic doctor and loves making a difference in her patients’ lives. Karl works in finance, and he loves working on projects and leading a diverse team in a global company. We are a loving, supportive, hardworking couple who like to walk our dog, listen to live music, travel, and attend sporting events together. Jen says Karl is kind and energetic with a good sense of humor and an affinity for sports. Karl loves that Jen is so caring and comforting to those around her and has such an amazing disposition for treating patients.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a two-story, three-bed, 2.5-bath home in a family- and pet-friendly neighborhood in sunny Arizona. We live two blocks from the neighborhood park, where we can’t wait to bring our little one to meet the neighborhood kids. Our backyard has a large grassy area where we can play on a swing set and enjoy lots of outdoor fun and games. We love lying on the grass, watching the clouds as they float by. Our friendly dog, Cooper, loves his daily walks. Our two cats, Cecil and Wally, love to snuggle and play together. They are brothers through adoption and love each other as much as any litter mates could.
Our Extended Family
We both grew up in large extended families with small-town values. We love to spend birthdays and holidays with as much family as we can. We believe family traditions are a wonderful way to create lasting bonds and wonderful memories. During family get-togethers, we enjoy playing games, chatting around a campfire, or helping Grandma and Grandpa put a puzzle together.
We each have two siblings who are all very close and talk often. There are twelve total nieces and nephews, four of whom are our godchildren, and they all love to hang out with their Auntie Jen and Uncle Karl. They are all so excited to welcome a new member to this loving extended family. A favorite tradition for Jen’s nieces and nephews is to pile all four cousins on top of each other (oldest on the bottom and youngest on the top) and take a picture each year so we can see how much each has grown. The kids just think it is fun, and it creates a great family memory for everyone.
What Led Us To Adoption
We’ve tried many ways to build our family. We truly believe adoption is the best way for us to create our family. We believe all children are a special gift and would love the opportunity to create a family through adoption. On a personal level, Karl has two multiracial cousins who were adopted as infants. They are both wonderful members of his extended family who have been friends since childhood. We both love different cultures and intend to embrace the culture of any child we are blessed to adopt. We look forward to the opportunity to grow our family, and we would be grateful to provide a loving home.

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!
