dear expectant mother
We are so grateful to you for your selflessness and courage to consider creating an adoption plan for your baby. We can only imagine the many considerations you’ve weighed. We want to provide you with the commitments you need to feel completely confident that your baby will be in the best home possible if you choose us.
We want, with all of our hearts, to ensure that your baby has a stable and secure future, and we believe that will happen by being open about the decision you are making and offering love and support in the most unconditional way we know how. If you choose us, we will raise your baby with encouragement, honesty, adventure, and lots of love. We will support their dreams in every way possible. We are prepared to do whatever it takes to provide as many opportunities as possible for your child to explore all their interests. Your child will be the center of our world, a world in which your child will experience unconditional love, safety, and security surrounded by older brothers and a sister and big families.
About Us
We met as co-workers and subsequently became great friends. Over the years, the friendship grew, and we started dating. We were married surrounded by our family and friends in November 2018. Kristin has a deeply compassionate spirit and a special bond with animals and children. She has volunteered for numerous organizations and is known for helping lead searches for lost dogs. Jason is hardworking and a gifted leader. Kristin works for the federal government, and Jason is the Chief Operating Officer for a nationally ranked construction management firm. We enjoy the outdoors and athletic activities and focus on living a healthy lifestyle. Kristin is an avid reader, and Jason plays guitar and loves music. We are fortunate to be financially stable and able to provide a child many opportunities when it comes to education, extracurricular activities, travel, and other interests a child may want to explore as they grow.
Our Home & Pets
We share our home with our awesome pets: two rescued French bulldogs named Wrigley and Addison (Cubs fans!), two cats named Lucy and Snickers, and a fish named Mochi. We’re both huge animal lovers, and we have been “parents” to rescued rabbits as well. Our home is situated in a major Illinois city in one of the most desirable neighborhoods, full of culture, shops, great schools, and lots of community energy. We are close to our neighbors, some of whom have young children, which is all part of the family and community atmosphere of where we live.
Our Extended Family
We both come from large extended families who reside in various places across the United States, and Kristin has close family who reside in Spain. Jason was married previously and has three grown children. All three live in cities nearby and are so excited to be big brothers and a big sister to their new sibling.
Kristin’s family gets together regularly for family reunions so that everyone can be together and be connected. Jason’s family commits to visiting and staying with each other on a regular basis. Kristin has two step-sisters, and Jason has one brother. Both our parents live in cities and states nearby.
What Led Us To Adoption
Kristin comes from a family of many adopted children, and since she was a very young girl, she knew she would pursue adoption one day. When Kristin was a young adult, she met a family who had adopted several children. Kristin was able to spend time with the children and instantly fell in love with them. There is something about adoption that is just very important to Kristin’s life journey. Jason has adult children from his previous marriage but is passionate about having more children. When we started dating and got married, we knew adoption was the right way for us to grow 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!
