dear expectant mother
We find it difficult to come up with the right words to express to you the amount of love we will have for your baby if you choose us. We cannot imagine what you must be feeling, thinking, or experiencing during this emotional time in your life. We hope you will know, if chosen, we will care for and nurture your baby. We promise we will raise your child in a loving home with a sister who wants more than anything to be a big sister. We promise we will teach your child how to be respectful, how to love, and how to live life to the fullest.
We believe in letting a kid be a kid. We will schedule regular family time, including dinners together nightly, enjoy family game/movie night, and ask them about their day. We want them to always have the opportunity to feel they can be honest, ask questions, and be who they want to be. We will teach them the importance of respect, understanding, gratitude, and love.
We cannot wait to share our traditions with your baby, including making pasta by hand, going camping, getting away, and just spending the most quality time possible with the ones we love.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about us. We would be honored to be considered as a family for your baby.
About Us
Susan knew since she was little that she wanted to work in a career field dedicated to children. Susan has been working at a pediatric clinic for the last 17 years and looks forward to helping those little kiddos. Nathan works from home as an IT manager. This field gives him flexibility to be home when he needs to be for our family. We have a fun and supportive marriage. We believe in spending as much time as we can with our family and our chosen family. We have been married for thirteen years and have a beautiful ten-year-old daughter. Nathan is kind, loving, and considerate. Susan is generous, kind, and humorous. We are a laid back family who values love and trust. We enjoy going outdoors to hike, camp, or take a dip in the many lakes in our area.
Our Home & Pets
Our home sits on a one-and-a-half-acre lot and has five bedrooms and three bathrooms. There is a big yard to run around in to get the wiggles out. We have a lot of outdoor activities close to our home, including several splash pads, community parks, and trails to adventure on. There are several farmers markets we frequent during the summer and fall months. What is better than sharing a picnic with the family eating fresh fruits and veggies! We have two pets. We have a Siberian husky named Kodi. He is the sweetest and gentlest dog. He loves going for walks and watching Megan play at the park. Megan also has a hamster named Ginger.
Our Extended Family
We are close to both sides of our families. Nathan's parents live in the same house as we do for six months of the year. The other half of the year they live in Arizona. Nathan has two Korean adopted sisters. One sister lives two hours away and is married with two children. Nathan's other sister lives in California and is married with three children. Susan’s parents live ten minutes away six months of the year and spend the rest of their year in a golfing community in Florida. Susan has two siblings. Susan’s brother lives 40 minutes away. Her sister lives in Arizona and is married with three daughters. With our family living in other parts of the country for part of the year, we have plenty of places to visit!
Our friends are part of our support system as well. It is said it takes a village to raise a child. Our village is made up of the most loving and caring people we could ever ask for. A family doesn’t always need to share DNA. That is how we know this child will be so loved. Shared DNA is less important than the unconditional love and support we have from our village.
What Led Us To Adoption
We come from a family who already has a love of adoption. Nathan has two sisters who were adopted as infants. Our neighborhood has several children who were adopted as well. Adoption is a beautiful example of love, respect, and acceptance. With open arms and love in our hearts, we cannot wait to welcome a baby into our happy and loving family. We have chosen to expand our family through adoption because of our love for children, and our ability to grow our family would not be possible without 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!
