dear expectant mother
I can’t tell you how humbled I am by your strength. I appreciate you taking the time to explore this letter as moments like this don’t happen by accident; They happen because women like you are fearless.
I promise that each time your child does something incredible, I will remind him or her where that strength came from—YOU, evidenced by this selfless act of putting your child’s needs first.
My desire is to enjoy, love, teach, cuddle, laugh with, cry with, and ultimately help your child find his or her most authentic path in life. I want this child to have a proprietary education as it’s a door opener, every opportunity to participate in as many extracurriculars as possible, the gift of travel, and, most importantly, me available to guide and support him or her daily. I will be everything I can be for this child and when I can’t be ‘it’ - I will hunt down a helpful resource.
I also will encourage your child to be the best version of himself or herself that he or she can be and to always know how much he or she is loved by me…but equally as importantly, by you.
About Me
I have a huge immediate family so as I sprouted into adulthood, I craved the opportunity to widen my scope of experiences on my own terms. It was a goal, a need, and my passion early on to explore the globe, learn crazy things, and enjoy old and new friends in multiple ways, from ski trips to Hawaii to backyard BBQs.
Along the way, I learned a lot about how to live a higher-quality life as my path showed me the value of my family and friends, my love and passion for animals, my need for cooking & feeding people, and my inherent desire to be outside often. I enjoy attending street fests, listening to live music, or taking my dog for long walks by the lake. I am a true extrovert, and being social feeds my soul.
Finally, I work from home which is awesome … not only does it give my day-to-day life some ‘elbow room’, but it also allows me to enjoy my family’s lake house, where we can boat, fish, or just relax to the sunset. It’s truly one of the most beautiful places on earth and a nice break from my city life.
My Home & Pets
I co-own a building in a beautiful city. Within the city, I live in a quaint neighborhood with lots of ethnic restaurants, and the beach is only a 10-minute drive away. I have a small backyard, but the good news is that there is a gated nature walk with a really cool trail and a fabulous park within walking distance. We will find ourselves outdoors a lot even in 30 degree weather as I see that as healthy living and needed fresh air! We will also be checking out all the great museums and educational attractions the city offers and when we are home … we will be working on projects from making dinner to arts and crafts!
My Extended Family
As mentioned, I have a big family with lots of nieces and nephews, who I enjoy thoroughly. My parents had three kids together and then remarried and have three additional children each, so I am no stranger to loud homes or sticky fingers. And the wild news is that 70% of my family is within a 30-minute drive. My mom holds dinner for everyone each Friday night, and the kids rule the show all evening!
Since my parents are different religions, it’s been easy to join each of them for key holidays, meaning every year I have Christmas with my dad’s side and Rosh Hashana with my mom’s side…and while Halloween is my personal favorite, I love the exposure and the passion my parents have for their beliefs.
I have a diverse family that is so excited to help me welcome this child and expose him or her to endless love, family, & religion in a very open manner.
What Led Me To Adoption
Adoption has always been in my life. My incredibly good childhood friend, my sister-in law and my grandfather were adopted. It’s not that I planned to adopt but rather that I planned to become a parent when I had more resources to provide for a child. How a baby came to me was not a top concern as once I arrived at this golden moment, I knew this was the route. I’m SO excited.

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!
