dear expectant mother
We would like to thank you for taking the time to read through our letter and considering us as a family for your child. We know that this is one of the most difficult decisions that you will ever have to make. It takes amazing courage and unselfish, sacrificial love to want to provide the best for your child.
If you choose us, we are excited to provide a loving, nurturing, and stable home for your child. Adoption means the world to us as that is how our daughter became our daughter. Our hearts and home are ready to welcome another bundle of joy into our family. Your child will be part of a family that focuses on a strong faith, love, a connected family, and providing life experiences. Our family values education and having opportunities to explore the world around us. We also look forward to providing your child the opportunity to learn valuable skills such as swimming, music, sports, and other interests that they want to explore.
Our family is open to an open adoption. We understand the importance of your child having a connection with his or her birth family. We look forward to getting to know you and building a relationship with you and your family. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers as you continue on this journey and hope that you will consider our family as a family for your child.
About Us
We are Joshua and Jennifer. We met through a mutual friend at a local bowling alley and have been married for 17 years. Over the years, we have built our relationship on trust, love, and our faith in the Lord. We have an amazing seven-year-old daughter who is the love of our life. Joshua is a 5th grade teacher and has spent most of his career working with youth. Jennifer is a Medical Receptionist for a local doctors office. We are a fun, loving, and caring family and we value family time, which includes game nights, hiking, traveling to local rivers and beaches, and spending time up on the mountain. We love having family get-togethers where we will barbeque, play games, and catch up with everyone. One of our favorite activities is to go camping during the summer. We love exploring new places and traveling.
Our Home & Pets
We live in an amazing, family-friendly neighborhood in Washington State. Our house is a one-story, three-bedroom, 2.5-bath, open concept home. It sits on a quarter of an acre, which provides a big backyard for kids to play in. We have a swing set and lots of fun play equipment. We are located near multiple parks, which we frequent regularly. There are lots of young children in our neighborhood who play with our daughter. Our pets include a German shepherd lab mix dog and a cat. Our dog is great with kids, and the neighbor kids love to come over and play with her. Her name is Belle, and we love to take her on walks. Our cat, Cherry Pie Sugar, was named by our daughter.
Our Extended Family
Jennifer’s parents, Brian and Linda, have been married for 40 years. Her sister, April, is in a nine-year relationship with Ryan. Ryan has two children: Beau, 15 years old, and Kodi, 20 years old. We live about 15 minutes away from Jen’s family.
Josh’s parents, Rick and Colleen, have been married for 46 years. Josh has two brothers, Aaron and Sean. Aaron is married and has two children: Tiernan, who is 15 years old, and Henry, who is 12 years old. Sean also has two children: Jayden, who is 17 years old, and Sadie, who is six years old. We also live close to Josh’s family.
We also have cousins and family friends in the area whom we are close to. Family is very important to us, and we love to have family get-togethers on a regular basis. We also go out and do a lot of activities with our families, including camping, exploring parks and hiking trails, and taking part in local activities. We spend Thanksgiving in a cabin on a mountain and go on multiple camping trips during the summer. Our extended family supports our decision wholeheartedly and is excited to welcome a child into our family.
Our Adoption Story
Our adoption story began nine years ago when we started the process of adopting our daughter. We were chosen by a birthmother when she was approximately six months pregnant. This allowed us to support her through the last months of pregnancy and build a strong relationship with her and her family. It was so heartwarming to start our family and continue to have a positive relationship with the birth mom and her family. For the last four years, we have been foster parents, and we have felt led to return to private adoption to grow our family. Our daughter is very excited to have a sibling, and we are excited to expand 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!
