dear expectant mother
We can only imagine the anxiety and overwhelming feelings you must be experiencing right now as you make an adoption plan. We can relate to that since for the past several years, we have been going through infertility treatment only to have our hopes and dreams dashed month after month. This is exacerbated by watching our friends and family bring home new babies.
We just want what every parent wants—the opportunity to love, nurture, protect, and watch our child grow into a happy, productive adult. If you decide to bless us with a child, we assure you he or she will be coming into a happy and loving home with aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents to love him or her too. As your child grows, he or she will celebrate birthday parties, attend sleepovers with friends and cousins, experience warm holiday get-togethers, and have parents to show their pride at sports and school events. And we will especially celebrate the day your child came into our lives and be sure he or she is aware of the loving mom who made this great sacrifice in his or her best interest by blessing us with this child. Thank you so much for considering us.
About Us
Brian is a lead medical equipment technician. He delivers hospital/medical equipment as well as makes repairs to equipment that has been rented. Melissa is a registered nurse. She currently works as a pediatric home care nurse and cares for children with special needs. We have always dedicated ourselves to education and hard work. We have been together for 18 years, married for almost 9 years, and inseparable since the beginning. We have strong family values, and we are always making new memories with extended family, including nieces and nephews and aunts and uncles. Our activities include youth football games to cheer on our nephew as well as watching our niece cheer. We also make it a point to get together with our extended family once a week for dinner.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a four-bedroom home in a quiet neighborhood. We have a large fenced-in back yard with a firepit area where we enjoy having friends and family over. We also live within a school district that is ranked in the top 20 of our region. We have two dogs that we rescued. They are very loved and very spoiled. We also enjoy making memories with our niece and nephew, cooking and baking in our kitchen and then having them sleep over and having movie nights with popcorn.
Our Extended Family
Our favorite tradition is getting together on Christmas Eve with our extended family, helping to make dinner, and then opening a few presents. We then all go to midnight Mass, where it is a tradition to light a candle. This is usually the kids’ favorite part. Christmas Day, after everybody has opened their gifts, we get together to share our gifts and eat leftovers.
We recently returned from a camping trip with our friends, and we are also currently planning a family trip to Disney World. Our families are very supportive and eager to welcome a new baby to our family. Melissa’s family has experience with adoption as her cousin was adopted. Her family knows the love and joy adopting a child can bring. We are eager to spread the love and joy as we grow our family.
What Led Us To Adoption
For the past five years, we have been doing infertility treatments, which have not been successful. After many failed attempts, we do not want to wait any longer to begin growing our family. We both have friends and family who have either been adopted or have adopted. We have seen nothing but happiness and so much joy from these experiences. We would love to be able to grow our family in this way as well.

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!
