dear expectant mother
We are so truly grateful that you would consider us as your child’s adoptive parents. We don’t take your decision lightly and know what an honor it would be for you to choose us to raise your child. We have the utmost respect for you, your strength, and your truly generous heart. Your child will always know the love you have for them, and we will respect your boundaries of the communication you would like in the future. We will be here for you every step of the way.
We have a fourteen-year-old daughter who is bursting with joy for our family to share our hearts and home with a baby. Tina’s mom was adopted and fully supports us; she looks forward to sharing her experience with your baby and helping us to answer any questions. Our church community has a large foster and adoption support group that many of our friends are a part of.
Placing your child for adoption is the most unselfish act. We will do everything we can to make sure your child understands what you have done for them and will raise your child as we have raised our daughter. We look forward to seeing the personality your child will bring to our family and loving every part of them.
We sincerely thank you with all of our hearts.
About Us
We met 12 years ago through mutual friends, with Tina not realizing we went to high school together, and fell in love. Emil said he admired Tina from a distance in high school but was too shy to ask her out. We dated for three years and married in 2010 and are blessed with a daughter who can’t wait to be a big sister. Emil works in construction for a local union. We can’t go anywhere without Emil brightening up a room with his hilarious sense of humor. Tina enjoys working in real estate. Emil’s love of restoring classic cars has become a family hobby; we enjoy cruising through downtown as a family in his hot rod truck. Tina makes all holidays special with traditions and decorations, such as serving heart raviolis for Valentine’s dinner. Our home is known as the “Chevy Chase” home of the neighborhood during Christmas time.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a well-established, family-oriented neighborhood, in a small community in California. Our home is within walking distance to a distinguished elementary school and local lake with a wilderness and park area. Our town is centrally located to national parks, beaches, amusement parks, and museums and has many family holiday traditions that we look forward to every year, the Christmas Light Parade being our favorite. We absolutely love our neighborhood and neighbors and enjoy walking our sweet dog, Brutus. Our phones are always full of pictures of Brutus as we think everything he does is adorable.
Our Extended Family
Emil is very close with his mother, sister, and two adorable nephews, who enjoy spending time at our house. Emil’s extended family is only 30 minutes away, and we love sharing special memories with them, such as graduations, birthdays, and their small town bass derby. His family is full of laughter, adventure, and unconditional love.
Tina has two moms who live in town, one sister and brother-in-law who live in town with two young nephews, and two sisters, one brother, and two more nephews who live out of state. We visit with them yearly. Both families attend sporting events and holiday functions together and have family game nights and dinner often.
We started a non-profit 5k/10k walk nine years ago that raises money for heart failure research, and we couldn’t do it without all of our family and friends’ support. We get the entire crew together for holidays, including Easter, rain or shine. Last year we were hunting for eggs in the pouring rain and loving every minute of it. We love and support each other’s dreams, trials, and triumphs. One of our favorite things we do is volunteer together, making meals at church and serving them in our community.
What Led Us To Adoption
We both knew we wanted to grow our family, so after experiencing infertility issues, we decided to adopt. Adoption was a natural choice for us as Tina’s mother and uncle were both adopted. We also have a large support group of family and friends that have adopted. We are blessed to have a daughter, and she is excited to have a sibling. Our families are thrilled about our adoption journey and are eager to meet our new little one.

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!
