dear expectant mother
We can’t imagine what your life has been like, but to carry a child to term and do whatever it takes to ensure that child is given the best opportunity to be loved and cared for is a true act of selflessness, love, and strength. Thank you for the time and effort that goes into making this little bundle of joy. We are truly blessed and thankful for your consideration.
Should you choose us, please know that this little boy or girl will be loved by so many people. They have cousins eagerly waiting to meet them. We look forward to sharing our passion for cooking, gardening, and sports. Our goal is to be encouraging parents, not just by exposing the child to new things but also encouraging them to try things that interest them. We have worked hard the past few years to get where we are now. The only thing missing from our lives is a child to share it with.
We wish you the best, and we pray the Lord continues to help guide you throughout this journey. If you choose us, we look forward to meeting you and getting to know you at any level you’re comfortable with. We are confident that in our home, this child would feel an abundance of love and security and know they are a blessing to us.
About Us
Hi! We are Justin and Julie. We met in December 2007, got engaged in December 2011, and then were married the following October. Justin is hardworking, loves to cook (especially BBQ), and is full of fun historical facts. Julie loves doing a variety of activities, from climbing rock walls to reading classic literature. She loves trying and experiencing new activities. We recently moved from California to our forever home in Idaho. As Julie works from home, there is a lot of flexibility throughout the day to work on small projects to make our new home feel cozy. We enjoy life’s simple pleasures, including spending time out in the yard with friends and family.
Our Home
We live in a small city with great neighbors, where there is a sense of community. There are quaint local shops for everyday needs, but larger stores and other entertainment are a mere 30 minutes away. Our house is newer, built in 2019, and didn’t require too much updating when we moved in during the summer of 2022. The backyard is huge and full of grass. Our plan for this spring is to put in a handful of garden beds and fruit trees. Both of us have grandparents who grew up on farms, so it’s in our nature to cook with what you grow. Although our neighbors are nearby, the houses are far apart, so there is privacy and tranquility. This spring, we adopted a 6 year old German Shepherd mix named Kenya. Although we've only had her for a short time, we have quickly bonded and Kenya has made herself our protector. Kenya is friendly with people and especially enjoys it when the neighborhood kids pet her. Despite her age, Kenya still knows how to have fun by chasing birds, going out on walks, and running around in the backyard. Kenya can't wait until she has a kid of her own to play with and keep safe.
Our Extended Family
We absolutely love outdoor get-togethers. Julie’s mom’s backyard is a little piece of paradise and is perfect for BBQing, croquet tournaments, and leisure activities. Julie’s family is tight knit, and there is never a shortage of family get- togethers or good food. When we get too busy from work and need a change of pace, we like to go to Julie’s brother’s house to enjoy the country life. Julie’s brother has six kids between the ages of one and ten, and all of them are eager to have some younger cousins to play with.
Justin’s family is filled with automotive and aviation lovers! His parents even live in an air park, where Justin’s dad has built a small aircraft and restored several classic cars. Their neighbors are friendly and share similar interests and values, always making it a nice home away from home. They are really big on their Christmas traditions: watching movies, opening Christmas stockings, and making carmel corn.
Julie’s family gets together every other holiday. Julie’s mom’s side of the family is French and Italian, so it’s no surprise that everyone loves to cook and shares their latest recipes. Food brings the family together, but it’s this family’s deep faith, love, and common interests that keeps this family committed to one another.
What Led Us To Adoption
Although we haven’t been able to have biological children, we have tried to stay positive, knowing that God has had a plan for us. Over the past few years, we have been working toward the lifestyle we wanted. We not only feel our current location is a better environment to raise a family in but we are also financially, mentally, and emotionally in a good place. The challenges we have overcome to get where we are today have strengthened the bond between us, making us grateful for each other’s support and love. We can’t wait to share all the love we have with that special baby.

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!
