dear expectant mother
Dear Mom,
We can't begin to imagine what you are going through, but we know you are a brave and selfless person to consider this decision. If you choose adoption, we know your decision is made out of love for your baby. We are so thankful and humbled that you would consider us to be your baby's adoptive parents and family, if you choose this path.
We are kind, loving, and generous people, and we will give your baby all the love and guidance they will need throughout their life. We will work incredibly hard to give them the best life we can and earn the honor of calling your baby our son or daughter
We have wanted to give our son Dean a sibling for many years, and we know he will be a great big brother to your baby. Your baby will grow up in a family with a sibling and extended family that loves and treasures them. They will have all the love they need, and every opportunity to have a great and happy life.
The gift of another child would be the biggest blessing that we could ever imagine, and we will forever cherish you for that gift of love and life.
With much thanks and love,
Zachary and Alison
About Us
Hello, we are Zachary and Alison. We have been married for 10 years and have a 4-year-old son named Dean. We are all so excited to grow our family through adoption. We are a loving family that enjoys hanging out together, spending time outside playing and in the garden, and traveling when we can. Alison is a stay-at-home mom with our son Dean, and Zachary is the co-owner of a prosthetic and orthotic medical practice. Alison loves to cook and garden, while Zachary enjoys playing tennis and expanding his growing medical practice. We both love spending time with our son, playing outside, teaching him tennis (he is in private lessons), and spending time with our family and friends. We are very dedicated to our family and our friends, and we work hard to provide our loved ones with the best life we can offer.
Our Home & Neighborhood
We live in a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home in a beautiful neighborhood. The city we live in is very safe and well-maintained. Our city, as well as the surrounding cities, has continued to expand, and offers a lot of family-friendly businesses, attractions and restaurants. The public school district here is very highly rated, one of the most highly rated in the state of Mississippi. We are also on a waiting list to attend a private Christian school for our four-year-old son. We have two Golden Retrievers, Owen (male) and Scarlet (female). Both are very friendly family dogs. We also have two Maine Coon cats, Abra (female) and Harbinger (male), who are also very friendly. All the animals love our son Dean, and play very well with him.
Our Family & Friends
Alison - I have two older sisters. My oldest sister lives locally with her husband and two sons. My middle sister lives in California. My mom still lives in California, but my dad lives locally just down the road from us. I have too many cousins to list on my dad's side; my dad has 11 siblings, all of whom had a lot of children. My mom has two siblings, and I have two cousins on her side. I love getting together with family whenever we can. We like to have meals together, play games, and occasionally travel together if our schedules allow.
Zachary - I have two sisters. One is a year older, and one is seven years younger. They both have one daughter and live locally, so we see each other often. We take turns having the holidays at our house or at their homes. My mother lives with my little sister and my mother likes to spend time with Dean. She teaches him all about science and gardening. My father also lives about an hour away. I have a close relationship with him. We still see each other often, and he is active in our son Dean's life.
What Led Us To Adoption
We are so excited to welcome a new member to our family. We have a son named Dean, and we know that he will be the best big brother. He loves being around other children, and is very kind, sweet, and generous. We first considered adoption when Alison had trouble conceiving. It took two years, including a year of fertility treatments, to become pregnant with Dean. Conceiving Dean was a miracle because we were told by the doctor that we were not pregnant, but two weeks later, we discovered we were in fact expecting. After Dean was born, we tried to get pregnant again and were unable to. We realized we still wanted to grow our family, and that is what led us to adoption.

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!
