dear expectant mother
Thank you sincerely for taking the time to consider our profile. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to be in a position where we are able to provide a warm, loving home for a child. Adoption has always been the natural choice for us, and your child will know nothing but love from both of us throughout their life.
Family has always been a cornerstone for both of us. We are both extremely close with our extended families. Your child will immediately be welcomed by several loving grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. At the same time, your child will forever know what a wonderful and courageous mother you were to make the loving and brave choice that you have. We plan to discuss adoption openly and freely so your child will forever know their roots and will always know how warmly and openly they are loved by both their birth family and their adopted family.
Having several children in our extended families already has allowed us to see what joy and excitement a baby can bring. We are overjoyed to share life’s excitement, develop and encourage big dreams, and provide support and love as your child grows through life together with us. We are delighted to be in the position we are in and ecstatic about the possibility of bringing a beautiful baby into our lives together.
About Us
We are an easygoing, good-natured couple that loves staying active and enjoying the great outdoors. Neal works for a sports nutrition company as the head of finance. Wil works in sales for an athletic equipment retailer and is a former professional chef who still loves whipping up new recipes to try out with family and friends. We have been together for nine years and married for the last three. We love being outside, whether it’s working on something new on our property or heading off on a road trip to see new sights in our nation’s landscape. Family and friends have always been an important part of our lives, and we can’t wait to bring a child into the picture. We are a warm, loving couple that enjoy seeing happiness in the world, and we know that having a child is the next step in our journey.
Our Home & Pets
We moved into our home two years ago. It sits atop a large acreage of property providing plenty of room to run and play. We are in a more rural environment outside of a big city, with three bedrooms and an upstairs loft that will quickly become a kids play area. We have two cats and a dog who are very friendly and love being around people. We both love working on our home and property and look forward to having a child that can join us in the fun!
Our Extended Family
We both come from very loving and supportive families. Neal is the oldest of three children, with a younger brother and a younger sister. Neal’s sister was adopted from Paraguay when he was seven years old, and he fondly remembers spending the summer before entering second grade with his parents meeting his new baby sister and learning the culture and customs of her homeland.
Wil is the middle child, with an older sister and a younger brother. Both of our parents and families are ecstatic to welcome a new child into the family. Wil’s sister has two boys, and Neal’s sister has a girl; our niece and nephews can’t wait to have a cousin to play with.
We have family located close by who can’t wait to lend an extra hand when it comes time to love and spoil our future child. They will quickly pick up many of our families’ favorite traditions, including Thanksgiving at our home, Christmas with extended family, an annual family vacation, and lots of birthdays to celebrate!
What Led Us To Adoption
We’ve both known for a long time that we wanted to be dads. We consider ourselves so fortunate to be in a position to bring a child into our home through adoption. With several friends and family who have gone through the adoption process (including Neal’s adopted younger sister), adoption has been something that has been a natural part of our lives and has always struck us as the perfect way to build our family.

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!
