dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
There are not enough words to describe how thankful we are to even be considered in this process. We have no way of knowing what it is like to be in your shoes. We do know that it takes a lot of strength, courage, and selflessness, and we admire you for your decision. We would be extremely gracious in telling our future child about the love you have for them and the selfless choice you made.
Should you choose us, your baby will be given so much love and support all throughout their life. They will be raised in town and on a rural farm. They will learn how to play musical instruments, play sports, and work on a hobby farm. We look forward to having campfires in our yard, grilling out with family and friends, and just being a family. We want our children to know the complete and abounding love that God has for them and that they are perfectly and wonderfully made in God’s image.
We wish you all the best in making this decision and hope you find comfort in the option you choose. We would be excited, honored, and completely grateful to be chosen for your baby. We would make it our goal to make you proud and confident in choosing us to be the parents of your child.

About Us
The saying “opposites attract” could not be any truer for us. Adam grew up in a suburb of Minnesota and loves anything sports or music related. Adam was passionate about his education and used his knowledge to succeed in all school functions. Adam currently enjoys being outside doing yard work and enjoying bonfires. Kelsey grew up on a farm in rural northeast Iowa and showed cows, participated in 4-H, was crowned the fair queen, and was always willing to lend a hand. Kelsey spends a lot of time singing music while Adam sings along and strums his guitar. We love the bond that music has brought to our relationship and hope to share the love of music with our children. Kelsey describes Adam as super smart, compassionate, and trustworthy. Adam describes Kelsey as compassionate, kind, humorous, silly, and always putting others before herself.
Our Home & Pets
We bought our first home in August of 2020. We have made many improvements to the house and around our yard. We have a nice big yard for children to play in and a big garden to grow lots of healthy foods! We have two cats. We have a black/gray Maine coon and an orange tabby. Our cats bring so much joy into our lives. Our town feels like one big neighborhood. We have lots of parks and trails within walking distance of our house. We are always willing to help out when our older neighbors need help. It's as simple as picking up the leaves in their yard. An act of kindness can go a long way.
Our Extended Family
Adam comes from a small family. He has an identical twin brother. Adam’s parents still reside in the house that Adam was raised in. Adam’s extended family is small with three cousins for both sides combined. A tradition that the family has is every Christmas Eve they read the Christmas story directly from the Bible.
Kelsey is the youngest of four; she has three older brothers, one deceased from cancer. Kelsey’s parents reside on the acreage she grew up on about ten minutes away from where we live now. Kelsey's extended family is very large, having about 20 cousins on each side. Most of them reside within the community we live in. Some family traditions are a Fourth of July hot dog roast and a Labor Day camping trip.
We have seven nieces and nephews we love to spoil and take on adventures. We love watching them learn new things and grow as people. Our families are very supportive of our adoption journey.
What Led Us To Adoption
Our road toward the decision to adopt was strenuous. We have been married for almost three years and have been trying to have biological children for over three years. We recently found out that due to genetics, we may never be able to have a biological child. Adopting is the right decision for us as we have so much love to give and will welcome any child into our hearts with loving arms. The wait for children has brought us closer and has strengthened our relationship with each other.

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!
