dear expectant mother
We would so appreciate being chosen as the lucky adoptive parents to bring home a baby to our wonderful family. We know this is a blessing, and we will spend every day showering this baby with love and affection.
Our parents, family, and friends are excited for us to become parents, and they look forward to joining us when we do fun activities. The baby will know they are in a great family. We also have a couple of neighbors and great friends who are so excited to have their children meet our baby.
Our town has a great park district with fun family events we would love to take our baby to, such as carnivals, music classes, sports classes, and painting parties. The baby will get to experience a lot of laughter and snuggling as well as playing peek-a-boo and healthy eating. They will spend every weekend with Grammie, Meema, and Grandma Kate and get showered with love and care. The baby will celebrate every holiday in style with red and pink for Valentine’s Day, green for St. Patty’s Day, a turkey outfit for Thanksgiving, a cute family-themed Halloween costume, and, of course, special outfits for Chrismukkah and 4th of July.
About Us
Tracy is a teacher in a two-year-old classroom, and Mark is a claims adjusters. We love to spend time together watching movies and playing with our pets, nephew, friends, and family. We are always being silly together, supporting each other in our jobs, and working together around the house. We love hugging, holding hands, and cuddling up together. We feel a strong connection to each other, and when we have a baby, he or she will feel the happiness in our household. We love spending time together at car shows and playing with our hot wheel collection. We spend our time as a couple swimming and relaxing at our town’s water park. We share the same birthday and feel that is a special connection, so we always try to have a special celebration. When it’s the baby’s birthday, they will know their birthday is here because we will go all out for the celebration.
Our Home & Pets
Our home is a duplex in a wonderful, family-friendly neighborhood. We have three bedrooms and a good-sized, fenced-in yard. We love playing card games and video games, and we are outside when the weather is nice, running around in the yard with our dog, Johnny, a greyhound who wants to be a big brother. Roxie, our cat, likes playing outside with us too and wants to be a big sister. We enjoy going to restaurants and being with family and friends on the weekends. We love going on walks and to museums, water parks, and botanical gardens.
Our Extended Family
Our traditions include celebrating Chrismukkah since Tracy is Jewish and Mark is Catholic. During Christmas, we have Chinese food (Jewish tradition), and we want to pass that on to our child. Every Sunday we go to Grandma’s house for dinner. We have our game nights with friends, and we have weekly TV shows we watch with our close-knit group of friends who are all super excited about being aunts and uncles. During Passover and Easter, we get together and hunt for Easter eggs and have dinner. During Halloween, we decorate the inside and outside of the house and have family costumes; we already have a list of costumes for our baby we can’t wait to use. During the spring, we go see the tulips at the botanical gardens, and we are looking forward to pushing around a stroller with the baby. We go to the zoo a lot, and it will be fun to share the visits with a little one.
What Led Us To Adoption
The adoption process is beautiful and amazing. We feel it would be a great blessing to be chosen to love and cherish a precious baby. We’ve both longed for a baby for so long. We aren’t able to have biological children but want nothing more than to become parents. We want a baby so we can teach him or her how to ride a bike and use the potty and take the child to the zoo, the aquarium, and family vacations to Disney World and Disneyland. We want to buy Chrismukkah presents for them, take cute family photos with a theme, and, of course, have family Halloween costumes.

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!
