dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
Though we haven't had the privilege of meeting you, we want to open our hearts to you in this letter. We can only imagine the immense strength and love that must fill you as you consider such a selfless decision for your child. We want you to know that we hold profound respect for the path you are walking.
Our Deepest Desire: To Love Your Child
My husband and I have dreamed of becoming parents for a long time. Our hearts ache to welcome a child into our lives, to nurture them, and to give them every opportunity to thrive.
We promise that we would give this baby the world. Our home is filled with warmth, laughter, and eagerness to create a lifetime of cherished memories.
A Future Full of Love and Adventures
Imagine a life where your child is surrounded by love, encouraged to explore their passions, and supported in every dream they pursue. We want to teach them about kindness, resilience, and the joy of discovery. We want to be there for every scraped knee and every proud accomplishment.
We understand this is an incredibly emotional time for you, and we want you to know that we are here, with open hearts, ready to embrace your child and shower them with unconditional love, forever. We simply want the chance to become this baby's family.
With deepest sincerity and hopeful hearts,
Ashley and Kyle
Our Hobbies & Passions
Our greatest passion, first and foremost, is becoming parents to a healthy child. We also have a strong passion for all animals, especially our yellow lab, Beacon. Beacon has brought us so much joy since we rescued him last September. We enjoy training him and bringing him on our adventures when possible. We also love exploring coastal towns.
Ashley is passionate about family and friendships, as making time for the important things in life is dear to her heart. Ashley is very creative, which shows in her crafts and interior design and home projects. She actively enjoys gardening, cooking, and any time spent by the water or at the beach. These activities make her feel a sense of calm and peace.
Kyle is very passionate about his profession, coaching basketball, boating, paddleboarding, sports, and teaching his students about one of his favorite hobbies: fishing. Alongside coaching at his school, Kyle also sponsors a fishing club where students learn, practice, and eventually go fishing in a lake close to the school.
Our Home & Neighborhood
In January 2016, we purchased our first home together in Central Florida. We chose our charming fixer-upper to be in close proximity to family and work. Over the years, we have updated just about every aspect of the house in making it our home. We have a large, fenced-in backyard that offers ample outdoor space to gather and play, along with a garden area where we grow a variety of herbs and assorted vegetables. Our quiet neighborhood is within walking distance of an "A"-graded elementary school, and the central location provides easy access to everything Florida has to offer.
Our Family & Friends
As we envision the future and the possibility of welcoming a child, we wanted to share a little more about the loving and vibrant community that surrounds us—a community that would embrace a child wholeheartedly.
Our lives are deeply intertwined with our friends and family. We are incredibly fortunate to have a large, supportive network that feels more like an extended family. Holidays are always a joyous affair, filled with laughter, delicious food, and cherished traditions.
We often talk about how much we look forward to one day doing all these things—the mountain adventures, the beach explorations, the holiday gatherings—with our own child. They would have cousins to play with, aunts and uncles to learn from, and grandparents to spoil them.
We believe that any child who joins our family will be enveloped in a lifetime of love, laughter, and unwavering support from a large, caring network. We are excited about the prospect of sharing our lives, our traditions, and our adventures with them, and we promise they will always be surrounded by friends and family who adore them.
Our Favorite Adventures
We create memories through adventures, traveling, exploring new places, and revisiting old favorites. One of our favorite traditions is our annual trip to the mountains. Depending on the season, we spend our days hiking to waterfalls, gem mining, searching for salamanders, snow tubing down hills, and, of course, building snowmen with our nieces and nephews. Seeing their faces light up with joy is something we treasure, and we can only imagine the delight of sharing those moments with our own child.
The Florida Keys hold an incredibly special place in our hearts. Surrounded by turquoise waters, our journey as a couple began here. We got engaged during sunrise and, a year later, exchanged vows during sunset. The Keys continue to call to us with snorkeling, parasailing, jet skiing, and lobstering. Each visit reinforces our deep connection and remains one of our most treasured destinations.

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!
