dear expectant mother
Although our hearts are filled with joy at the prospect of you choosing us as the adoptive parents for your child, we can’t begin to comprehend how difficult of a decision this is for you. We admire the strength and courage you possess that brought you to consider the ultimate gift of adoption.
Adoption has been an integral part of our family from the beginning. In 2015 we adopted our oldest son. After having two more children, we truly feel completing our family with adoption, the way it started, is what we are meant to do as parents. If you choose us, your baby would be surrounded by the love of two parents and three siblings and would have the opportunity to go camping, take trips to Disney World, go on family hikes and bike rides, and bake cookies on a random Saturday morning.
Our hearts are filled with so many dreams for our children, but we will allow them to become exactly the person they are meant to be. Throughout their lives, we will continue to tell them the story of the brave choice that was made so they were able to become part of our family. We hope you give us the opportunity to become part of your life as well as that of your child. We would be honored to embark on the journey of adoption together with you.
About Us
We met in 2001 during high school and were friends for years prior to beginning dating in 2006. We married in 2009, on Monica’s grandparents’ 50th wedding anniversary. Our marriage is based on mutual respect, understanding, and constant give and take. Monica works as a senior corporate trainer, and Joe works as a marketing manager. We enjoy being outside together camping, hiking, biking, and attending sporting events. We have three children: Maddyx, Aurora, and Jaymeson. We adopted Maddyx in 2015 and also had Aurora the same year. Jaymeson joined the fun in 2017. Monica would describe Joe as an incredible father who brings joy and laughter to all those around him. He is charismatic, kind, and a bit sarcastic! Joe would describe Monica as the most amazing mother any child could ask for who provides a loving, caring, and fun environment for children to grow up in.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a four-bedroom, two-story home on a cul-de-sac in a quiet suburban neighborhood in Wisconsin. We are surrounded by neighbors with young children who can often be found playing together between the yards. Our home is fully equipped with loads of toys and a playroom. We cannot wait for your child to join our family. We have two dogs who love affection, playing fetch, and licking the faces of new people they meet.
Our Extended Family
We are both the youngest of three kids. Joe has two older sisters, one who lives 20 minutes away and the other in Virginia Beach! Joe’s parents live in Florida, and we love visiting them while taking the kids to Disney each year. Monica has an older sister who is her best friend and lives close by and a brother who lives on a lake where many adventures occur.
Both sets of grandparents are actively involved in our lives. We have 11 nieces and nephews who love getting together and making memories. We have so many family traditions, including the holidays and an annual camping trip with family. We cannot wait to add your child into the beauty that is our large extended family.
Our Adoption Story
We have always known adoption would be a part of our family story. During college, Monica nannied for a family who had adopted two children and saw the relationships and mutual respect it created between the families and the children. Fast forward to our desire to start our family: We applied for adoption and were picked by a birth mother in 2015. The relationship with our birth mother is open and honest and is built on trust. We know in our hearts we would like to conclude our family the way it began, through 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!
