dear expectant mother
You are amazing and selfless. We thank you for taking time to read our profile, and we are honored to be considered. We can only imagine the emotions you are feeling, and we admire your strength.
We are open to all types of adoption but would like to leave that decision to you – however much or little contact is up to you. Currently, we have an open relationship with our daughter’s birth-parents, and it is amazing. But we realize people and situations differ and want you to be happy with whatever you decide.
Although we haven’t met yet, we have been praying and hoping that you will come into our lives. Your child will be raised in love and happiness, surrounded by family and friends. We can’t think of anything more wonderful than sharing our life with another child.
We will expose them to various cultures, foods, languages, sports, games, arts, and travel. We look forward to helping them with homework, school projects, and whatever they choose to pursue. We will teach our child right from wrong, allow them to be who they are, guide them as they grow, and most importantly, shower them with unconditional love.
We welcome any and all question you may have about us.
About Us
We are Will and Stephanie, and this spring we will celebrate our seven-year anniversary. Will grew up playing baseball and hockey, and his passion for hockey continued through his college career. He graduated with a master’s degree in computer science, and he now owns a political consulting company and works from home. Stephanie caught the travel bug from her father at an early age when tagging along on his business trips; she studied in Paris for a year in college, then had the opportunity to work in London and Hong Kong. Stephanie is now a marketing director and works for a wonderful family-oriented company. Our daughter, Maddie, just turned three, and she loves animals, reading, dancing, playdoh, and cuddles. We enjoy traveling, spending time with family and friends, and exploring all that our city has to offer: museums, libraries, parks, festivals, theaters, and the lakeshore.
Our Home & Pets
We own a townhome in the downtown area of a large city, which is within walking distance to the river, schools, and shopping. It’s a wonderful neighborhood filled with families, parks, dogs, and most importantly, lots of little playmates. Steph has her dream kitchen and can’t wait to start making homemade baby food again, and Will has his garage, where he loves to tinker. Just down the hall from our bedroom is the kid’s room, a wonderful place for their imagination to grow.
Our Extended Family
Stephanie has a wonderful, fun-loving, supportive family in New Mexico, where her mother grew up. Her mother, brother, aunts, uncles, and cousins couldn’t be more excited to welcome a new member to our family. Stephanie’s cousin and his wife have a three-year-old son, so our baby will also have an older cousin close in age. We travel to Albuquerque every Christmas (a very big deal in our family!), and summer as family is a gift and traditions are special.
Luckily, Will’s warm, loving mom and sister are a short drive away and we see them regularly. His niece lives in Washington, D.C., and his nephew lives in North Carolina.
We are also blessed to have amazing friends that we consider family who live near and far. They are all thrilled to be grandmothers, great-grandmothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, and honorary aunts and uncles!
Our Adoption Story
We always imagined what an amazing adventure having a family would be. After a year of trying to have a child biologically, we decided to adopt. Stephanie has an adopted cousin and step-sister, so it was a logical choice. We started our family three years ago with the adoption of our daughter, and every day since has been filled with indescribable joy. We can’t think of anything more wonderful than sharing our lives with another 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!
