dear expectant mother
We cannot begin to understand the journey and difficult decisions you have to make. We do know, however, about fear and uncertainty. Having one child through adoption already, we understand how important of a decision this is for you.
We are so excited to grow our family again and teach our children how to love, be kind, and help others. We enjoy having spontaneous dance parties, mixing and baking yummy treats (and licking the beaters), hanging out with friends and kids in the neighborhood, and just spending time together. We like to try new things and give our children new hands-on experiences.
We thank you for taking the time to get to know our family. It is a blessing to have you read through our profile and get to know us a little better. We cannot wait to bring home a little bundle of joy. As parents, we are easy going, but we do have rules to ensure staying safe. We believe in making mistakes and using them as a learning opportunity to grow. No one is perfect; we just do our best. No matter what you decide to do, we wish you nothing but peace in your choice and happiness in your future. Thank you for your time.
About Us
Erin is a preschool teacher and works part time in order to be home with our kids. She is patient and creative and likes crafts; she doesn’t mind a mess or getting dirty. Nick is in sales for a large company where he interacts with many different personalities. He is honest and loving and would do anything for family and friends. We love to help others in the community and instill a sense of that in our children through volunteering and helping those in need. We met in college when Erin got off an elevator on the wrong floor and ran into Nick, literally. Nick says it was love at first sight, but Erin took a few months to warm up. We are a fun-loving couple who laugh often. We have big hearts and open arms waiting to extend our love to another son or daughter.
Our Home & Pets
We live near a large Midwest city. We have a large deck where we do science experiments, have picnics, and swim in our blow up pool. We have a garden that we plant each year. We live across the street from a large park, path, and pond for fishing. Our neighborhood is full of diverse children of all ages, and we spend lots of time outside. We follow the likes of our children as far as activities, especially swimming. Our girls also do gymnastics and dance. We have a small dog who loves to snuggle and give lots of kisses. He is protective of his sisters, and we know he will watch over a new baby coming into our family.
Our Extended Family
Our entire family is beyond excited for us to adopt. They love and support both our girls in their everyday lives. Their grandparents watch our children for the few hours Erin is at work. For holidays, we always spend time with our family. We also have a close-knit group of friends that we went to college with who are ready to hug, love, and support our new baby.
Some of our favorite traditions are going apple picking and to a pumpkin farm near where Erin grew up going. We go to Greek festivals and dances to celebrate part of our heritage. Our family has a condo in Florida we can visit as well. We do various friend and family trips each year to Wisconsin Dells, the beach, skiing, and more.
We have a nephew who is special needs and deaf, and it has been fun watching him grow and thrive. Our youngest was born a preemie and is doing so well.
Our Adoption Story
Adoption has helped grow our family, and because of this, we’ve known adopting again was in our future. We are blessed with two daughters, one biological and one adopted. Children are a blessing, and we cannot wait to adopt again to make our family complete. With our adopted daughter, we have brought her Mexican culture into our home and our traditions; it’s important to us that she knows what her roots are. She’s aware she was adopted and knows her birthmother made her decision out of love and that she was always meant to be a part of 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!
