Dear Birthmom
Thank you for considering us as adoptive parents of your baby. Our wish is to provide a stable, secure, and accepting home, full of unconditional love for the little one we’re blessed with. If you choose us, we want to raise your baby knowing he or she has always been, and always will be, loved by you and by us.
We know that we’re not the “ideal” family for some people. We have done enough research and read enough books to prepare us for the potential questions that may come our way. Most of what we’ve read has suggested that we deal with questions about our family—mainly how two men could have a baby—openly and honestly. Researchers say this should be done from the beginning, so the baby, as he or she grows, knows there is nothing wrong with his or her family. We want to tell your baby that his or her mom chose to give us her greatest gift because she believed in us and knew nothing was different about our family as well.
We don’t know who your baby will turn out to be, but if you choose us, we can promise that we’ll provide him or her with every opportunity to become who and what he or she wants to be. We will ensure he or she is surrounded by love every step of the way.
About Us
We met online (or the “old fashioned way” as we jokingly refer to it), and we were friends for 18 months before becoming a couple. We married in November 2016. We love to travel, whether it’s for a week or a weekend. We also enjoy music, attending local festivals, and being involved in our church. We’re committed to making ourselves, our community, and the world a better place. Justin works as an Executive Director at an Assisted Living facility. Tim works from home as a Compliance Analyst for a large real estate law firm. Both of us are motivated, hard-working, and serious when needed. But we prefer to live life to the fullest by enjoying the little moments and not “sweating the small stuff.” We love to make each other laugh. We are each other’s best friend.
Our Home & Pets
We built our home in October 2016 and made certain to build in a great school district. Our home is a traditional, red-brick home. We have four bedrooms and three-and-half bathrooms, which is perfect for when our parents visit! Our subdivision has a community pool that we enjoy in the summer. It includes a park with a playground, a walking trail, and basketball courts. We have a great relationship with our neighbors and gather with them on the weekends very often. Due to our proximity to a large city, we have access and take advantage of parks, museums, concerts, festivals, and food truck fairs.
Our Extended Family
Justin was raised in Kentucky and has one sister, two nephews, and a niece. His youngest nephew and niece are five-year-old twins! We are very close to Justin’s extended family and spend every holiday gathering with his family. The family has a tradition of spending one summer day together on a lake. We boat, swim, and picnic for most the day and then enjoy dinner together.
Tim was raised in Indiana and has one sister, two nephews, and a niece. Though we see them often, we also have an ongoing group chat text that is an excellent source of entertainment! We gather with Tim’s family also on every holiday and his parents usually take us on an annual beach vacation!
What Led Us To Adoption
Our first conversations revolved around the love we have for our nephews and nieces. We both knew, and discussed often, that one day we wanted to raise children of our own. Almost immediately after we were married, our moms began asking how we planned to expand our family. After careful contemplation, we decided adoption was the best decision for us! We’re excited to share our lives and expand our family via adoption. Both of our families have been blessed with multiple cousins who came to our family via adoption. We look forward to adding our own adoption experience to our family’s blessings!

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!
