dear expectant mother
We can’t possibly imagine the love and sacrifice that has brought you to consider adoption. Know that you are brave, courageous, and selfless. Your journey has many chapters and an endless set of possibilities. Not all experiences are joyful and may represent difficulties and loss and haven an emotional toll. We want you to know you will be a part of our family together with your child. With time and patience, a positive outcome is our ultimate wish.
Your child will always know where and who he or she came from. We want you to be involved and to share milestones and events with an open adoption. We welcome any child of any color, sex, creed, or background. It is our prayer and intent that your child has endless love, overwhelming opportunities, and consistent encouragement to shape a secure, positive, and engaged human being. We are grateful and blessed in our lives and want to carry that forward in your life and your child’s. We consider your baby and your decision a miracle and gift. It will be our dream and pleasure to engage your child throughout his or her whole life. We will encourage his or her uniqueness and personality to achieve, explore, and succeed. We have the desire and ambition to raise your baby to be strong, independent, and confident.
With all of our souls, we promise to fiercely protect, love, and nurture your baby.
About Us
We are a blessed family, and every day is an opportunity to smile, play, encourage, and be grateful. A devoted husband and dad, Ryan still opens doors, writes sweet love notes, and frequents the flower and cupcake shop for both his girls. He currently is taking time off in his career to raise our family. He relishes all outdoor recreation. Family is a priority, and he’s always instigating a tickle fest, adventure, or popcorn party. Toni is a healthcare professional with flexible hours and a decade of patient-centered care and preventative medicine. She is quick to joke and optimistic, with a flare for silly fun. Aria rounds out our threesome as our daily princess, superhero, or pony with her imagination and antics. Together, we love to laugh, sing, and enjoy the little things. Reading books, hide and seek, cooking together, and watching wildlife outside are typical activities.
Our Home & Pets
We live in the Midwest with wide open spaces, excellent educational systems, and accessible health care. Our home borders prairie reserve trails and farmland with year-round outdoor recreation. We currently have three rescue dogs with their own loving personalities: a beagle who is a certified therapy dog, a deaf boxer, and a blue heeler who specializes in cuddling. All are gentle, loving, and devoted to their humans. Summer is swimming, smores with campfires, bug and toad hunts, riding bikes, and nature hikes. Winter offers us sledding, snowmen, and snow forts. Rainy days expose adventures at the children’s museum, zoo, aquarium, movies, or indoor carousel. Whatever the season, inside or out, there is always something to discover, explore, and learn!
Our Extended Family
Both of us have been raised in close-knit Christian families that embody a “family first” ideology. We are extremely fortunate to have been encouraged to be and do anything in our upbringing. Challenges have been shouldered together and heartbreak has been shared between us.
Our families are ecstatic about a new addition and are eagerly holding a place at the big family table. Our moms love to bake and are ready for cookies, apple pie, and tiny cook training. Aunts, uncles, and cousins all have outdoor gardens and fresh fruits and veggies to share. Toni’s family has a week-long lake house retreat tradition in the summers, while Ryan’s family has weekly Sunday breakfast. We just finished a vacation with both our moms, which really was a special treat.
Holidays are about togetherness and are exciting with whole-family sports, playful teasing, card games, and home-cooked meals. Events are frequent and encompass acceptance with our diverse personalities, cultures, and lifestyles.
What Led Us To Adoption
Our hope is to nurture your new little person to grow and flourish with our stable family foundation. Ryan loves teaching and mentoring children, and Toni volunteers yearly on a medical mission and supports local kids’ events and charities. Ryan has 50/50 custody of Aria, which has bonded us as a family and has inspired us to open our hearts and home to another child. Aria asks daily when “her” baby is coming home and picks out baby essentials when shopping. We have several friends that have been adopted, and they all agree on the positive impact adoption has had in their lives. We have an open, special place in our hearts for your child to join us in the future.

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!
