Dear Birthmom
First, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my profile. It is my hope that by reading my profile it will give you a glimpse into me and see that I would be a great mother. I have the upmost respect for you and your decision to choose adoption for your child. There are no words to express how much I appreciate you and your decision. I would love to get to know you and to share with you more details about me. Becoming an adoptive parent is something I don’t take lightly, and I am so excited for the opportunity! I look forward to welcoming a baby into my home and giving them love, guidance, and a full life. I would be honored to provide a safe, stable, nurturing, happy and loving home in which your child could grow to their full potential.
About Me
Hello, my name is Stephanie! I am an elementary school teacher and have been teaching for nine years! Before teaching, I was a full-time nanny for a little girl from when she was 5 months old to 3 ½ years old! I have a Master’s Degree in elementary education as well as a special education degree! I love working with my students and making a difference in a child’s life every day! In my free time, I enjoy working out, doing various activities with my friends, shopping, and trying new sports! During my summers off, I love going to the zoo, playing outdoor sports, traveling, going downtown, and spending time with my friends and family! I also enjoy volunteering at our local church with children and young adults! During the school year, I participate in the Girls on the Run program where I partner with a young girl to encourage her to run a 5K together!
My Home & Pets
I live in a 2-story home in a subdivision with several young and growing families. There are two and a half bathrooms, two bedrooms and a loft in my home along with a large private backyard. I have lived in my neighborhood for six years now and love my location! The families that surround me are friendly and enjoy doing activities together. Down the street is the elementary school in a high-achieving school district. In my neighborhood, there is a park and a walking path. I live near several community activity centers, a beach, and lots of shopping!
My Extended Family
In my family, I am the oldest child of three. I have a sister who lives close by and a brother who lives in California with his fiancé. My parents have been married for 39 years and set a great example for me to follow! My parents live only a short distance away. Every Sunday night, my family gets together to have a family dinner. It is a great way to keep up with everyone’s lives! As an entire family, we also go on a week long vacation every summer! The destination is always different but we have a great time spending time together and seeing new sights! Each holiday is filled with many traditions we have carried over since I was a child. We also do many community service projects as a family with our church. My extended family lives in a neighboring state so we visit with them a few times a year!
What Led Me To Adoption
Ever since I was a little girl, I always dreamed of becoming a mother one day! I used to play with my Cabbage Patch doll every single day! In high school, I babysat young children and then later in life, I became a full-time nanny for a 5 month-old girl. Those experiences only confirmed my desire to be a mother one day. Adoption is a wonderful option for me to fulfill my dreams of becoming a mother. I have friends that have had successful adoptions and are a wonderful support system for me! This is the perfect time for me to begin my adoption journey as I am settled in my career in education, my finances and in my relationships. My family is supporting me in my decision to adopt and is anxiously awaiting a new family member!

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!
