Dear Birthmom
Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to introduce ourselves and our family. We are grateful that you love your unborn child so much that you are willing to consider an adoption for him/her. We know this time must be very stressful for you. We hope that the background we’ve provided will give you comfort and confidence that we can provide a loving caring home and life for your child.
We are very thankful for the opportunity you are providing through your generous consideration of adoption. In turn, we look at this as an opportunity to keep a lifetime promise to provide a loving, caring, family environment for your child and help them navigate the waters of life as long as we are blessed to do so. We both have very strong family values and family support systems. We have not only been fortunate to be supported by our family but have now entered a phase of our life where we are able to share the gifts bestowed upon us by them to your child. our child.
About Us
Steve and I both grew up in the Midwest with loving families. We met each other 6 years ago when a mutual friend introduced us at her holiday party. Four years later, we decided to get married in Las Vegas.
Steve and I both have jobs in the finance sector. That requires us to be more serious and focused at work. We enjoy spending a lot of our free time together and allow our happy go lucky and creative sides to come out. We enjoy cooking dinners together and try to make 1-2 NEW dishes each week. We try to eat healthily. A couple of our favorite new dishes we have tried are frittatas and baked pork chops with apples and onions. Other things we enjoy doing together are, yoga, going on hikes, golfing and camping. We love being outdoors, but during cold winter days we like to sit by our fireplace and binge-watch Netflix. However, no matter how cold it is, we still love to grill out. A tradition of ours is to host a Superbowl party with family and friends and have a friendly competition during March Madness. We love to travel and visit friends scattered all over the country. Some of our favorite places that we have visited are Jamaica, Mexico, Scottsdale, AZ and Napa Valley, CA.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a quiet neighborhood on a half acre lot, in the Midwest with good schools. We recently moved into our home, which has 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. With its large kitchen and open floor plan, and a great backyard with a patio, our home is wonderful for entertaining. We have a garden that we plant some of our own vegetables in during the summer. Our basement is fully finished, complete with its own kitchen and bathroom, which is great for visits from our out of town friends and family.
We have 2 small cockapoo dogs and 1 cat that thinks he is a dog. All 3 of them get along and play together They love going for walks, visiting our family and friends and snuggling.
Our Extended Family
Steve has 1 brother who is married with 2 adult children. We enjoy going to his parent’s house for holidays to celebrate with both his immediate family and his extended family which consists of 30-40 cousins. The majority of Steve’s family lives with in a 30 min drive. Steve also has a sister who is married and lives on the west coast that we do not see as often. Andrea has 1 sister who is getting married in the fall. We enjoy having extended family over for cookouts, home painting parties, and attending plays. Andrea’s family lives about 2 hours away. A couple of our favorite extended family activities are when we play board games or playing name that tune using Pandora or Spotify. Everyone is always laughing and having fun.
What Led Us To Adoption
We have spent many unsuccessful years trying to grow our family in the conventional way. We looked at IVF, but didn’t feel it was right for us. After careful consideration, we felt that adoption would be the best option for us to expand our family. We have friends that have expanded their families through adoption and have seen the process first hand. We heard great reviews about Angel Adoption and were excited to begin the process with 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!
