dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
We want to say thank you for considering us and taking the time to get to know us. We cannot imagine the courage it takes to do what you are doing and know it must be difficult to consider placing your child for adoption. We respect you and think so much of you for getting to this point. We are also in awe of your decision to consider adoption and think it takes a very strong woman to understand the gravity of this decision.
We would like to let you know we have taken more than enough time to make sure we are mentally, financially, and spiritually ready to raise a child to have the best life they possibly can and that we will love them and guide them through life to the best of our ability. If you choose us, your child will be loved by so many wonderful, close family and friends. You can be assured that your child will learn to pray, work hard, and enjoy life. We want to focus on providing a safe and healthy environment for your child to grow up and be successful in.
We aren’t sure what you’re feeling or thinking, but we’ve prayed for your peace of mind and pray for comfort in your decision to consider adoption and go through the adoption process to find the right parents for your little one.
About Us
Hi! We are excited to tell you a little bit about ourselves. We are Alison and Zachary, originally from Missouri and currently residing in Arkansas. We’ve known each other for ten years and have been married for four years. We grew up a couple miles apart in the same small town. Zachary grew up on a farm, and Alison grew up on a small property. Our childhood homes, which we each lived in throughout our whole childhoods, are about five minutes apart. We love to travel and spend time at the lake and with family and friends. Alison works at a bank, and Zachary owns an agriculture business. We are laid back and enjoy being with friends. Zachary enjoys the simple things in life, the outdoors and fishing, and taking his boat for a spin. Alison enjoys family time, traveling, shopping, and going for walks.
Our Home
We live in a quiet neighborhood in Arkansas in a four-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath home built in 2018. We live outside of town, where we are blessed to be close to the country but also close to the conveniences of a city. We are blessed to live in a neighborhood surrounded by many wonderful families. There are a variety of local school choices, providing confidence that our chosen child will receive a great education. Our extended family lives an hour away, and most of our closest friends live nearby.
Our Extended Family
Combined, we have six siblings, all of whom we are close to. We also have four nieces and one nephew. Alison’s family and most of Zachary's immediate family live within 15 minutes of each other, making family visits easy!
Alison grew up in a large family with most relatives living nearby. Alison has a lot of cousins, aunts, and uncles who gather for the holidays and have remained close throughout the years. Alison grew up camping with family and having fun weekend trips, and she hopes to continue these traditions. Alison’s parents both own small businesses, which taught Alison the value of hard work and building solid relationships.
Zachary grew up with a traditional farm family, where the whole family helped and was together most of the time growing up. This built very strong relationships with his grandparents and his father. Family traditions in his family were built along with hard work and caring for the family. Zachary was raised with the freedom of riding four-wheelers, fishing, and being outdoors. Zachary’s also been able to enjoy lake life while visiting his mom. These visits are full of boat riding, fishing, tubing, and riding jet-skis.
What Led Us To Adoption
We have prayed for years about what road God would choose for us, knowing we could not conceive biologically. We felt led to adoption, and it just feels right in our hearts. We want the opportunity to love a child as our own and give him or her a meaningful, healthy, and loving life. We’ve waited longer than most to start our family as we wanted to be in a financially stable and healthy environment first, and we are confident now is the time. After many conversations regarding infertility treatments, we kept coming back to adoption and how we felt it was for us.

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!
