dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
We are Eric and Yairis, and we would like to thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We cannot imagine how difficult this is for you, but we do know you are loving and courageous for considering adoption for your precious baby. We admire and respect the love you have for your child, and we know you want him or her to have the best opportunities. If you choose us as adoptive parents, we can assure you we will be the best parents we can be and will give your baby all the wonderful possibilities life can offer. We will make a promise to you and your child to always provide a loving, safe, respectful, and nurturing home full of bedtime stories, building forts in the living room, trips to the park, and lots of love and laughter. We hope that our pictures and words give you an insight into the life that we have and the life we will build for and around your baby.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering us.
About Us
Hi! We are Eric and Yairis Gonzalez, and we are beyond excited to share our love with a little one. Eric is a chef and manages a restaurant, and Yairis is a registered nurse. Our story began in 2017 when we met online, and we have been inseparable ever since — we even finish each other's sentences! Eric was born and raised in Miami, while Yairis grew up in Cuba and came to Miami at the age of 17. Our relationship is built on love, respect, laughter, and teamwork. We enjoy exploring new places, trying new foods, cooking, thrifting, home projects, country music, the ocean, and spending time making memories together. We love hosting our friends and families for BBQs; Eric makes the best smoked brisket. We can't wait to share our adventures, traditions, and unconditional love with a child. Thank you for considering us to parent your precious baby.
Our Home & Neighborhood
Our home is a reflection of who we are. It is warm and filled with light. We live in a quiet, family-oriented neighborhood in South Florida. We are lucky to have many wonderful places nearby, including the Zoo, the Everglades, parks, and, of course, beautiful beaches just a short drive away. Our home is filled with love (and a few furry and shelled family members!). We have a playful dog named Pepper, three tortoises named Gorda, Sleepy, and Balita, and a turtle named Gumbo. They bring so much fun and joy into our lives, and we are excited for them to meet their newest family member someday.
Our Family & Friends
We are blessed with a strong and supportive extended family. Eric's parents are retired, and he has two older brothers who are married with children — we love spending time with our five nephews and one niece. Yairis's parents are also retired and live with her vibrant and active 81-year-old grandmother, who is a big part of our lives. Grandma is so excited about becoming a great-grandmother that she even started knitting a baby blanket. One of our favorite traditions is celebrating Christmas Eve, or "Noche Buena," where Eric and his brothers roast a whole pig — a tradition full of laughter, delicious food, and family memories. Family is everything to us, and we are excited to pass down our traditions and create new ones with a child.
What Led Us To Adoption
Our journey to adoption comes from our heartfelt desire to become parents after struggling with infertility for several years. We have been surrounded by our nieces and nephews, but we have always kept the dream of being mommy and daddy. We believe that family is built on love, and we are beyond excited to welcome a child into our hearts and home. Adoption is a beautiful gift, and we are honored to be considered as future parents. We look forward to all the experiences of raising a son or daughter and passing on our traditions, giving them a good education, and making lifelong memories as a family.

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!
