We promise to always motivate him or her and cheer him or her on as they pursue their dreams and passions. We look forward to reading books together daily while Madison and Winston lay by our feet.

One more thank you! Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to show you who we are. We hope you are feeling supported and loved no matter where you are at in your journey. Please know we are thinking of you and your sweet baby during your pregnancy.
About Us
We are best friends, and it’s been that way since 2014. Like most best friends, we do pretty much everything together. We even have similar jobs. Bob is an elementary special education teacher, and Sarah is a fifth grade teacher. Because of this, most of our conversations revolve around kids. We love traveling together, hiking, fishing, and spending time with our families. We also dream together, laugh together, and grow together.
Bob through Sarah’s eyes:
Bob was born to be a dad. I can still remember the first conversation I had with him. He spoke so passionately about his students, and I immediately fell in love. He makes me laugh harder than anyone I’ve ever met, and he gives the best hugs. He will love and protect your child with every piece of his heart.
Sarah through Bob’s eyes:
Sarah is the kindest, most loving, family-oriented person I have ever met. From the day I met her I just knew in my heart this was the person I wanted to share the rest of my life with. Her excitement to start a family radiates from her. Sarah’s unconditional love for her students and family is unlike anything I have ever seen. I can say with unwavering certainty that my best friend and wife will make a wonderful mother to your child.
Our Home & Pets
The moment we walked into our home, we knew we had to have it. It sits on a quiet street in a neighborhood filled with children to play with. There is a playground only two blocks away. Our home has five bedrooms, a fenced-in backyard just waiting for a little one to run around in, and a big kitchen family and friends flock to whenever they come to visit. Our favorite spot, however, is the loft, where we can spend time as a new family playing games, reading together, and bonding. We have two dogs, Madison and Winston. Madison is a sweet, loving black lab, and Winston is a lab/bloodhound mix, who is a supreme cuddler. We also have two friendly chinchillas named Tom and Jerry.
Our Extended Family
We both have large extended families! When we shared the news with our families, everyone cried tears of joy, followed by lots of hugs. The smiles on everyone’s faces told us just how proud everyone was and how loved your baby will be.
Our favorite tradition we are excited to pass on to your child is Thanksgiving. We host the Saturday following Thanksgiving every year! We have both sides of our family over to our house, and it is truly one of the most special days of the year. Our house is filled with laughter, cheerful voices, delicious smells, and love. It is one of those days you never want to end.
In addition to Thanksgiving, we love celebrating Christmas with our families as well. We tend to split up Christmas between both sides of our families. Sometimes we head down south to Florida to spend time with Bob’s family, and other times we are in Wisconsin with Sarah’s family. No matter what, we find a way to see everyone and celebrate the holidays.
What Led Us To Adoption
When we first met, we bonded over our love of children. Adoption always seemed like a natural path to parenthood for both of us. Every day we are blessed with the ability to work with children who were given the gift of adoption as educators. Watching these incredible journeys we realized this was something we both wanted for ourselves. We have so much love to give, and we know adoption will provide us the ability to share our love with your child. We are excited to expand our family and open our home and hearts to your child.

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!
