dear expectant mother
Saying thank you doesn’t portray the depth of our gratitude and the respect we have for you considering us. Thank you for making an utterly selfless and noble decision to carry this child and then allowing them to be part of someone else’s family. Your courage is unparalleled. We don’t know what or how you’re feeling, but what we do know is that the decision you make will be the right one for you and your baby.
There are so many unknowns in this world, but one thing that is for certain is your baby will be loved and cared for unconditionally if you choose us. We will strive to honor your history and help them know where they are from. The saying, “It takes a village,” couldn’t be truer. We have moved around a fair amount for our education, giving us a unique opportunity to have multiple “families” throughout the United States. Your child would not only become part of our immediate family but also part of a network of extended aunts, uncles, and cousins all excited to be part of their lives.
If you bless us by choosing us, we will respect the type of adoption you prefer and the sacrifice you’re making. Most importantly, we will give all of the love, happiness, patience, and effort we possess to raise your child and always honor this gift you are giving us.
About Us
We are Sara and Greg. We’ve been together for 12 years and are coming up on our sixth wedding anniversary. We met doing field biology on the beaches of New York and then ended up going to veterinary school together. We have moved around a fair amount for our veterinary careers, even going to the Caribbean for veterinary school. After finishing all of our training, we decided to settle down in North Carolina, a place we love. We've recently moved into our forever home with our dog and two cats. We are active people and love going on hikes with our dog, kayaking, traveling, and working out in our home gym. We also love being social; exploring the many parks, restaurants, and shows of our city; and spending time with our friends. However, we definitely look forward to occasional lazy days on the couch playing games or watching TV with the pets.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a suburb of a city with access to mountains and lakes as well as museums, parks, and many activities geared toward families. We have a large house with multiple bedrooms and a large backyard. Our neighborhood has many children, a pool, and tennis courts. Being veterinarians, our pets are a very important part of our lives. We have a medium-sized dog, Maisy, we affectionately call “The Muppet” since she is pretty scruffy. We also have two cats, Cinder and Daredevil. Cinder is a typical cat who loves to lounge and come get pets when she wants. Daredevil, or “DD,” is more like a dog than a cat. Even though she has no eyes, she is always the center of attention, searching for someone to play with or a lap to cuddle on.
Our Extended Family
Sara has an older sister she is very close with; she has always been Sara’s best friend. She has two children, a young boy and girl. Greg is similarly close with his older brother and sister, who each have a young girl and boy as well. All of the nieces and nephews love when Aunt Sara and Uncle Geegee, as Greg is affectionately called, come to visit. Greg is really a big kid at heart and fits in well with his nephews, talking about Pokemon, Star Wars, and Marvel; playing video games; and running around outside.
Over the summers with Greg’s family, we will rent a house in different parts of the country as a family getaway to spend time with one another. Holidays are important for all of the families to come together for baking, cooking, and spoiling our nieces and nephews with presents.
Sara’s parents are very generous and loving. They jump at every chance to spend time with the grandkids. Greg’s dad is very active in his grandchildren’s lives, watching them and teaching them sports like basketball and golf. Greg’s extended family has many more cousins with young children who get along great and look forward to playing together during holidays and special occasions.
What Led Us To Adoption
Both of us grew up in loving and supportive families, which shaped the people we are today. They are some of the most important people in our lives and made us realize how crucial family is to a happy life. We realized we are unable to have biological children, but we are very excited and grateful for the gift of adoption to be able to make our dream of having children a reality. The life we have planned, from our house and our community to our city, has all been chosen with the life and happiness of our children in mind. We were lucky enough to have kindness, love, and happiness instilled in us from our family and look forward to giving those same gifts to our children.

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!
