About Us
We met through friends nearly ten years ago and have been happily married for over four of those years. Our jobs have a lot of flexibility, which will afford us the opportunity to be very present in our child’s life. Greg is a great cook and enjoys trying out new recipes. Shae likes to garden and do home projects. We are both big movie and music fans as well as avid readers and try to have as many adventures as possible. Traveling is one of our favorite pastimes. Our trips range from pursuing recreational activities (hiking and skiing) to visiting historical destinations or places we have never been to before. A healthy and balanced lifestyle is a priority for us, so we aim to stay active and fit while also taking time to enjoy the simple things in life, like talking over coffee and playing with our dogs.
Our Home & Pets
Our two-story house has a nice big yard surrounded by plenty of parks. Our neighbors are friendly, and many have children and pets, which leads to many sidewalk chats. We currently live in a metropolitan area that offers plenty of cultural activities, sporting events, and educational institutions. We also have rural property a couple of hours away that has been a family farm for four generations. The property has cattle on it and a large garden where our family grows seasonal vegetables. Your child would definitely have the perks of both city and country living! We are both animal lovers and have two super gentle dogs (a black Labrador and a rat terrier mix). We believe children benefit from loving and caring for a furry friend.
Our Extended Family
Both of us come from large extended families, and we look forward to get-togethers and celebrations. We all make it a priority to be there for each other. Thanksgiving and Christmas are two of our favorite holidays. These holidays are usually spread over a few days because everyone wants a chance to spend time with as many family members as possible. There is plenty of good food and good times to be had each time we gather together. Holidays and traditions are some of the many things we look forward to sharing with your child.
What Led Us To Adoption
Both of us had happy childhoods and loving families who have supported us all our lives. Due to that upbringing, we knew we wanted to be parents even before meeting because we believe the most important thing adults can do is raise children to be happy, healthy, productive members of society. When we first began talking about growing a family, adoption was the path we knew we wanted to take. We have an abundance of love and affection as well as so much else to offer your baby, and we welcome the chance to provide it.

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!
