dear expectant mother
We cannot begin to imagine what you are going through but want to acknowledge how brave, loving, and selfless you are for considering adoption. Your situation is unique and personal, and we respect your choice. Only you know what is best for your baby, so we greatly appreciate you considering our family.
We understand what a personal and difficult decision it is to choose an adoptive family, so we want to ensure you we will provide a truly loving, nurturing, and supportive environment surrounded by family and close friends. We have been blessed with an adoptive son and have seen the many positives associated with adoption. Should you choose us as the adoptive family, we will ensure your child is surrounded by lots of love, laughter, and family fun.
We would be extremely honored if you chose and entrusted our family with the incredible gift of adoption.

About Us
We are a couple who value family, friends, and traveling. We met in New York City, got engaged on the top of Table Mountain in South Africa, and were married on the beach in Charleston, South Carolina. Humor and support are the cornerstones of our relationship. We love hiking, snow skiing, and camping, which is what brought us to Colorado. We have visited ten countries as a couple and have plans for many more with the family. Patrick is a pediatrician who speaks Spanish, and Antonis is an actuary (pension consultant). We both love our jobs, but family always comes first.
Our Home
We specifically chose our home in Colorado because of its proximity to multiple children’s parks (one directly in front of our home), excellent schools, and the family-friendly neighborhood. Our home is a welcoming two-story home with three bedrooms on the second floor, perfect for parents and two children to be in close proximity. We also chose the home because the basement provides a spacious and fun play area for the children; the open kitchen is perfect for Antonis’s baking and cooking; and the backyard is perfect for playing outdoors.
Our Extended Family
Patrick’s mom, brother, and nephew live in South Carolina, where he grew up, in a small town. They are very close and get together at least twice a year, with Thanksgiving holidays always being full of food, music, and lots of laughs. There is a tradition of playing board games when they get together with gag gifts as prizes. Surprise birthday parties with lots of balloons is another long-running family tradition.
Antonis’s family lives in Cyprus (an island in the Mediterranean with a close connection to Greece) and includes his two sisters, four nieces, and a nephew. Antonis was raised in Cyprus and helped take care of his nieces and nephews when they were young. We visit Cyprus at least once a year, and family traditions include bowling, beach time, and trips to the mountains. Food and music are important parts of the Greek-Cypriot culture, and we always enjoy those as a family.
Our Adoption Story
We had an amazing adoption experience with our current 3-year old son! After years of waiting, we matched with an incredible birthmother who generously gave us the greatest gift anyone could ever give. Our son has enhanced our life more than we could ever imagined. All 3 of us are looking forward to adding to our loving family through the amazing gift of 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!
