dear expectant mother
Hello!
Although we have never met, we are sure you are just as nervous as we are and likely more. There will be times when you will be fearful during this process, but we will be right here with you. If you choose us, your child will be the center of our world. Your child will receive so much love, appreciation, compassion, safety, security, encouragement, opportunity, and selfless appreciation.
If you choose us, your child will be raised in a God-fearing, loving, nurturing, charismatic home. Each year we celebrate our children because we know they are precious gifts from God. As your child gets older, we look forward to sharing so many things with them. We will attend games together, go to the movies together, walk and shop together, go to the park, and talk about life. We will ensure that your child receives a good education that will prepare them to be successful in this life.
Your child will be raised in a nice Christian home. We will pray for your child and you as well. We will always celebrate your child and their accomplishments. We can’t wait to provide for your child and be there through every life stage. We will always do our best to ensure that your child qualifies to walk through every door life opens for them.
About Us
We are Willie and Marisha. We met at church in 2017. It was an instant connection that we felt with each other. We dated a few months and got married in June 2018. Willie is loving, outgoing, and energetic. He is truly the life of the party. Marisha is a true nurturer. She’s caring, loving, and compassionate, and her smile always wins others over. Willie is a reading teacher as well as a pastor. Marisha is currently a stay-at-home mom, and she has experience as a disability advocate. Our children, Jeremiah, Josiah, and Jenesys, are loving kids who enjoy playing video games and hanging out with friends in the neighborhood playing basketball. Our favorite things to do as a family are attend church, take vacations, spend quality time together, and laugh as we live life.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a two-story home in a quiet neighborhood. We have a ton of space to play and live a great life! Our home has four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. We have a large, fenced-in backyard. We have a nice play area upstairs. We enjoy cooking outside in the backyard as we watch movies on the projector. We have a shih-tzu, and his name is King James. King loves kids, and he is so energetic. He fits in with our family. Our neighborhood is filled with great kids and family. We love the outdoors as well as the indoors, so we are flexible in our approach to where we will spend a typical evening.
Our Extended Family
We are blessed to have such a large, supportive, and loving family. Both of our families are excited we are adopting. We are so grateful to God for allowing our family to raise us in the admonition of the Lord. We travel yearly as a family for Christmas and Spring Break.
Willie’s family lives within a 30-minute radius of us, and he talks with his parents daily. We alternate between Willie’s family and Marisha’s family for the holidays. During the summer, each family travels together and has such a blast as we create new memories together. Willie’s family loves to cook and has cooking competitions among themselves to see who is the best chef.
Marisha’s family is very close knit and bonded together. Her family attends the same church, where Willie is the pastor. Marisha’s family never misses a chance to get together (birthdays, anniversaries, college graduations). Marisha is the cook of the family, and on many holidays, she cooks a lot of the food; this brings the family together so much more. Marisha’s family has been centered and grounded in God, and they believe in checking in with each other to make sure everyone is doing well.
What Led Us To Adoption
When we got married, Willie has three children from a previous marriage. We knew we wanted a child together that we could raise, nurture, and love. We have tried for many years to conceive, and we feel led by God to go with adoption. We know that through adoption, we will show love to your child as we share our home, love, and all we have. We know we will provide a stable, loving, and caring home for your child.

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!
