We are proud of you for making a loving decision for your unborn child. We are a caring and compassionate couple who will shower your child with all of our love and attention. We promise to cherish your child, and we will always make sure your child knows how much you love them, too. We are excited and eager to help give your child the best life we possibly can.
Your beautiful decision would be the greatest blessing anyone would ever bestow upon us. Please know we are already praying for you and your sweet baby and asking that God would fill you with peace in your decision.
About Us
Sarah is a friendly, caring, and loving person who enjoys working as a marketing director in senior living. She’s often singing absentmindedly while playing around in the kitchen. She has a passion for helping people and animals, and she volunteers on the board of an animal rescue organization. Chris is a calm, hardworking, loyal, and talented business professional by day and a volunteer firefighter and EMT by night. He’s a man with many interests and hobbies, including creating furniture and decor with sheet metal and rollerblading marathons. We are best friends who love spending time together and with our two dogs, Bella (beagle) and Finn (King Charles cavalier spaniel). We love to travel and hope to visit all 50 states together some day. When the sun is out, we love to be outdoors soaking it up on a walk around our neighborhood.
Our Home & Pets
Minnesota is full of some of nature’s most beautiful lakes, parks, and trails. Minnesotans find ways to make the most of every season, including boating in the summers and ice skating in the winters. We live in a friendly and safe neighborhood and across the street from a park where local families play with their kids. We are in a great, top-rated school district. We live near Chris’s parents and his brother’s family, so we have a strong support system nearby. Our two-story home has three bedrooms, two baths, lots of open areas for play, and a large, fully fenced-in backyard. We have two friendly and calm dogs who love going for walks through our quiet neighborhood and lounging in the sun in the backyard.
Our Extended Family
Both of us have large extended families with a combined total of about 60 cousins! We have 10 nieces and nephews, and all of our parents are still living. Chris has one brother, and Sarah has two sisters.
Chris’s immediate family lives in the same town we live in, and we get together often for backyard barbecues, to play games, and to watch our nieces do gymnastics and karate and perform in plays and concerts. Every year we invite the family over for the annual Fall Fest, where we carve pumpkins, roast pumpkin seeds, and play board games.
Sarah’s family is all within a few hours of our home. We love to get together over the weekends and watch movies and roast marshmallows in the backyard. We also enjoy hosting the family at Christmas and Thanksgiving as the nieces and nephews bring lots of energy and excitement.
What Led Us To Adoption
We believe adoption is a picture of love: a mother making a loving decision for her child and adoptive parents opening their hearts and home to a child they will love completely. We’ve struggled with infertility, and we believe God has led us to adopt. We know several people who have gone through the adoption journey, and their stories have only helped us to feel more secure in our desire and calling to adopt. We want to give a child a stable home full of love, kindness, and attention. We are committed to helping a child develop their own unique passions and learn to successfully navigate the world around them.

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!
