dear expectant mother
I cannot express how grateful I am to you or how brave and selfless you are. Bringing your baby into the world gives him or her the opportunity to love, be loved, and experience joy. By considering me in this selfless decision, you are possibly giving me the opportunity to share my love with a child. I have hoped and prayed for the opportunity to be a mother my entire life and am beyond grateful for your consideration.
Loving this child will be my priority. He or she will always have love, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure he or she is safe, secure, and nurtured throughout life. I will strive to give your baby opportunities to love and grow. From Little League to dance recitals, I want to explore and share in all of her or his interests. I look forward to bedtime stories and Saturday mornings making pancakes.
I imagine it's hard to choose a family based on a few words and pictures, but I assure you we have this in common: We both want what is best for your baby and will do all we can to make sure he or she is loved, safe, and happy. I want you to have peace about considering me. If you do, I cannot wait for the opportunity to love your child, but if not, I remain insurmountably grateful for your selflessness. I pray the remainder of your pregnancy is healthy and your baby lives a happy life filled with love.
About Me
I am a kind, fun-loving person. Nurturing and compassionate, I enjoy my career as an occupational therapist at a skilled nursing facility. Here, I help elderly people recover from unfortunate events (stroke, falls, etc). I attend a Christian church near my house. There are many activities I participate in, most with the company of friends. Kickball, organized runs, rock climbing, game nights, and paddleboarding are a few, but I also love to curl up with a book or relax with a movie. Music is a passion of mine. I like to sing and play the guitar and keyboard. I also love to travel, whether it’s to a new country, a favorite spot, or a nearby town I’ve never seen before. I want to see as much of the world as I can and look forward to sharing my love for life and adventure with a child.
My Home & Pets
My home is a three-bedroom, three-bath house located 10 minutes from beautiful Florida beaches and walking distance from the city’s baseball field, ice hockey arena, and culturally diverse, historically rich downtown area. The beaches feel like paradise, and there is something for everyone to enjoy here. Festivals, theatrics, concerts, and educational and sporting events occur year round. There are many community parks and playgrounds within walking distance. I live between two exceptional public school districts, and nearby are several options for magnet and private schools. Cali, my 13-year-old dog, and Deuce, my brother's two-year-old dog, play in the fenced-in backyard, and I enjoy sitting on the deck reading, playing guitar, or relaxing and playing games with friends and family.
My Extended Family
My mother and father live about three hours from me (and are ecstatic about the possibility of a new grandchild). Also nearby are my older sister and her nine-year-old daughter and my younger sister, her husband, and their one-year-old son. My younger brother is living with me while he completes his schooling to be a family doctor. My family has always been very close.
We get together for holidays and birthdays each year, typically at my parents' home. We enjoy sitting around the table playing games and talking. Although my parents are not able to do much traveling, my siblings and I take regular trips together with my nieces and nephews, with the traditional trips being beach trips at my house in the summer, and ski/snowboard trips in the winter. Some of my fondest memories from childhood are visits with my extended family, beach vacations with aunts/uncles and cousins, playing at my grandparents’ house, etc., and I am very excited to help create some of the same fond memories for a child.
What Led Me To Adoption
I have wanted to be a mother for as long as I can recall. I had a wonderful childhood surrounded by hardworking, loving parents and sisters and a brother, plus 10–12 other children as my mother ran (and still runs) a daycare. I've always loved being around children and have always known I'd have some of my own. As I grew into adulthood, I knew that adoption was how I was called to be a mother and that adopting a child is how I was called to have a child of my own, by no other reason than a deep passion and knowledge that it is what I am meant to do with my love and life.

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!
