dear expectant mother
This is one of the hardest decisions you will ever have to make, and we want you to know we admire your courage and strength in considering which option is best for you and your beautiful baby. As you make a decision on who will be blessed to parent your much wanted gift, we would like to give you a glimpse of what type of family and home you can expect for your beautiful baby should you choose to make our dream come true.
We are a family focused on God and education. Luis has been working in the field of education as a professor and administrator for more than ten years, opening doors for students who are not likely to go to college. Cesia’s work is also in education and focuses on raising funds to provide scholarships to students. Most importantly, we are very engaged with our church and community. We are a family that values service to others.
Our marriage can be described in two words: love and commitment. Every day we decide to love, respect, and serve one another. Even when things get tough, we can always count on each other for encouragement, support, and unconditional love. This is what you can expect for your precious baby!
Thank you for considering the beautiful ministry of adoption and for considering us as parents for your child.
About Us
We met in 2013 when Luis was giving a leadership conference. Luis shared his inspiring story with hundreds of students of when he suffered an automobile accident that left him in a wheelchair at the age of 17. He shared how God has worked mightily in his life to accomplish his dreams of an education and professional aspirations. During a praise session, as others jumped and sang, Cesia whispered behind his ear and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll jump for you.” She would later move to the same college where Luis worked. It all started with a friendly coffee date. We became good friends, and in July 2016 we were married. Cesia has been jumping for him ever since. We are youth leaders at our church and enjoy mentoring teenagers. We are also advocates of education. Luis works as Dean of Students and Cesia as Director of Annual Giving at a Christian college. We love to travel, and you can also catch us reading and taking walks in the park.
Our Home
One year ago, we had the blessing of building a large and spacious house in a town we love. Our home has four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, two living rooms, an office, and a game room. Our neighborhood can be described as quiet and safe. We enjoy taking walks around the block in the evenings with so much peace and security. We also have a park trail and a community swimming pool. One of our favorite parts is a spacious backyard perfect for family barbeques and ideal for children to play in.
Our Extended Family
Family is without a doubt the greatest gift. We are blessed to count on the support of our family from both sides. Luis’s parents live with us. His dad is a local pastor and an online college professor. Having them live with us was one of the reasons why we built a very big house.
Luis was born in Nicaragua but was raised in North Carolina. He is fluent in Spanish and enjoys teaching Sunday school. We celebrate birthdays and Christmas with his parents. Luis has one younger sister, who is a professional counselor. Cesia was born in Mexico but raised in Tennessee, where her parents still live. Cesia’s dad is also a pastor. We usually celebrate Thanksgiving and New Year’s with them, and we look forward to a fall vacation in the Smoky Mountains each year. Cesia has one younger brother, who is still in college.
Once a year, we reunite both sides of the family with a summer vacation to Disney World. Disney is the one place the entire family can agree on, and we have been loving this tradition for three years now.
What Led Us To Adoption
After several years of considering growing our family, we realized two realities. The first is of parents from different races, social classes, and backgrounds with the desire to raise a loving and healthy family but not able to conceive. The second reality is that of a beautiful expectant mother who is looking for a loving family to provide her precious baby a safe, loving home. These first two realities find hope in the beautiful ministry of adoption. One of our biggest dreams as a couple has been to share our love and lives with a precious baby. After going through several fertility treatments and not being able to get pregnant, we felt God calling us to adoption.

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!
