dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
We’d like to thank you for considering us to care for and love your child as our own. Your courage to come to this decision is immense, and we have the utmost respect for you. The blessing you are bringing into the world will be an incredibly cherished gift we would be so grateful to receive.
We want to support you throughout this process as much as you would like. Following the birth, we are open to having any contact with you that you feel comfortable with. Our appreciation for your act of love will never go away. We want to let the child know their story from the beginning so they know they are loved by so many people. Everyone has a unique story, and adoption will be a part of this little one’s story.
The home and family we want to provide for your child is warm, engaging, imaginative, and always full of love. Both of our families are incredibly supportive and excited to welcome a baby through adoption. Your child will grow up with paint up to their elbows from crafting with their big sisters, getting muddy and belly laughing playing with their cousins, and diving into as many hugs as we can give. As they grow, they will be exposed to so many things, encouraged to pursue their dreams, and always welcomed home whenever they need a safe place.
About Us
Abby is an IRIS consultant who helps people self-direct their healthcare, and Keith is a surgical technician. Maggie, our four-year-old daughter, and Lily, our two-year-old daughter, spend their days either at Keith’s parents or at an in-home daycare. We make each other laugh constantly with our one-liners back and forth or while watching Maggie and Lily’s latest antics. We enjoy watching movies and having in-depth “What if?” discussions about the characters and what happens “after” the movie. We like to think we’re foodies, but really we just like things that taste good—everything from sushi to a good bowl of cereal. Maggie and Lily both enjoy dressing up and singing along with the latest princess. At the end of the day, you’ll find us in the kitchen cooking and playing with the girls before navigating to the living room to play then snuggling and stories before bed.
Our Home & Pets
We live near a city that is historical and vibrant in its culture. The school system in our area is top ranking in academics as well as extracurriculars. We are in the quintessential suburban neighborhood. Our home features a fireplace and an open floor plan to play, decorate, and create memories. The two rooms we spend the most time in are the kitchen and living room. Maggie and Lily both enjoy being in the kitchen with us, and the motto is “If you make a mess, we’ll just clean it up!” They both have such imaginations and often play with their “sweeties” (dolls) or in their play kitchen making us delicious Lego soup. They are both affectionate and caring and would welcome another little one to dote on. Robin, our dog, joined our family as a rescue, and she has been a perfect calm addition to our family.
Our Extended Family
Both sets of our parents live within five miles of us, and Abby has three grandparents who also live in close proximity. Keith’s parents will often host dinner and then help Abby through a game or two of Euchre (she’s getting better!).
Abby’s older sister and her family live about an hour away; they live on a farm, and her two nephews are enjoying the new kitties. Each year Abby’s family takes a family vacation where the cousins always take advantage of swimming and making monkey bread with Grandma. Keith’s family is much bigger and much more spread out. He has two brothers, one in California and the other in Virginia. All together, they have five kids ranging from seven to thirteen years old. We don’t get to see them as often but enjoy seeing them during summer trips. Keith also has around 30 first cousins; this makes traveling especially fun because no matter where we go, there is always family to see!
Birthdays are a big deal in our family and often come with a theme that “requires” a costume! We really enjoy getting into the spirit of it, which makes the whole party that much more memorable.
What Led Us To Adoption
Coming into our marriage, Abby had always had adoption as an option, and Keith quickly jumped on board. Growing our family has always been a main goal of ours as we both wanted to be parents. When we found out we were pregnant, we were over the moon, but throughout that adventure, we always kept adoption in mind. We have heard so many stories from all sides of the adoption journey since we started on our path from Keith’s coworkers and Abby’s circle of friends. We cannot wait to be parents in this way and welcome a little brother or sister for Maggie and Lily.

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!
