dear expectant mother
First, we want to thank you not just for reading this letter, but for the immense courage, love, and strength you're showing as you consider adoption for your baby. We can only imagine the weight of that decision before you, and we want you to know that, no matter what you decide, we hold deep respect and compassion for you.
We are hoping to grow our family through adoption. We've dreamed of becoming parents for a long time, and our hearts and home are ready to welcome a child with unconditional love, patience, and support. We value kindness, open communication, and family traditions, and we are committed to providing a nurturing environment where a child can grow into exactly who they are meant to be.
We love spending time outdoors, especially boating in the warmer months. Our two dogs are a big part of our daily lives. We enjoy taking vacations while being surrounded by close friends and family. Rest assured, your child will be surrounded by a strong, loving community, spending sunny days outside, and growing up with laughter and companionship that comes from playing with the dogs and being part of a joyful, supportive home.
Thank you again for considering us, and for letting us share a part of our hearts with you. No matter where your journey leads, we are wishing you peace, strength, and love.
Our Love Story
We met online and quickly discovered a strong connection, especially over a shared love of dogs—specifically Australian Shepherds! At the time, we lived about an hour and a half apart, but that didn't stop us from getting to know each other deeply. Each of us had an Aussie when we met, and bonding over them helped form the foundation of our relationship.
Our connection grew quickly and naturally. We got engaged within a year and were married nine months later. Joe is determined, hardworking, and deeply loyal. Paige is dedicated, witty, and effortlessly charming. Together, we make a great team—balancing one another and always supporting each other's dreams.
Over time, our love has continued to grow through shared experiences with our dogs, time outdoors, and embracing life's simple joys. We love spending time with friends and family, and we feel deeply connected to God's creation in our everyday lives.
Our Home & Neighborhood
We live just outside the city limits in a peaceful, country-style neighborhood surrounded by friendly neighbors and beautiful nature. Our single-level family home offers plenty of space and backs up to a wooded area, giving us a serene, scenic backdrop we never take for granted. We love spending time outdoors—whether it's relaxing by the fire pit, hosting backyard BBQs, or tossing a Frisbee with our two beloved dogs, Cooper and Hickory. Fun fact: we actually met through our dogs—Paige had Cooper, Joe had Hickory—and now they're best friends (and honorary brothers). Cooper, who is 6, and Hickory, who is 4, are sweet, playful, and an inseparable part of our lives. This little corner of the world feels like home in every sense.
Our Family & Friends
We are both fortunate to have very supportive and loving families. Joe comes from a large family with both adopted and biological siblings, while Paige has a close relationship with her younger sister. We each grew up in nurturing homes where family was always a priority, and that value continues to guide us today.
Joe's family is spread out across the United States, which gives us plenty of opportunities to travel and visit different parts of the country. In contrast, most of Paige's family lives nearby, all within 30 minutes to an hour of each other, which makes regular gatherings and support very easy and natural.
A special place for us is Joe's family's land in Colorado. We visit throughout the year to ride ATVs, fish in the pond, and enjoy the outdoors. We especially love traveling during the holidays to spend time with our extended families and create lasting memories.
Family is truly at the center of our lives, and we're lucky to also have a strong circle of friends. Many of them have young children as well, who would be wonderful playmates for your child. We're excited about the idea of welcoming a child into this warm, connected, and loving environment.
Adoption in Our Lives
Adoption has always been near and dear to our hearts. For as long as Paige can remember, she's dreamed of adopting a child. Joe has a very personal connection to adoption—he was adopted as a child and grew up knowing firsthand the love and security that a family can provide through adoption.
From the very beginning of our relationship, adoption was a shared dream. We would often talk about one day growing our family through both biological and adoptive children. As our relationship deepened and we felt ready to start a family, we faced unexpected challenges with infertility. While that journey has had its ups and downs, it also brought clarity and reaffirmed the calling we've always felt in our hearts.

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!
