dear expectant mother
We want to start by acknowledging the incredible strength and love it takes to consider this path. We can only imagine how difficult this decision must be, and we have the deepest respect for your courage and the love you have for your child.
If you choose us, please know that your child will be welcomed into a home filled with fun, laughter, and unconditional love. Our family believes in celebrating life’s big and small moments, finding joy in everyday adventures, and always supporting one another through life’s ups and downs. Encouragement, kindness, and understanding are at the heart of our home, and hugs are freely given—whether to celebrate, comfort, or simply remind each other how loved we are.
Family is everything to us, and we are excited to share that with a child. They will grow up surrounded by people who will cherish them, encourage their dreams, and stand beside them every step of the way. We promise to create a home where they feel safe, valued, and deeply loved.
Whatever decision you make, we hope you find peace in knowing that your love for your child shines through in every step you take. If we are meant to be part of your journey, we will forever be grateful and honored to love and raise this child.
About Us
Hello! We are Dustin and Bethan. We met in 2019 and quickly fell in love. We would have gotten married just five months later, but we waited until Bethan’s family could return from Africa, where they have lived since she was seven years old.
Dustin is a hardworking, kind, and generous person who loves to make people laugh. He is always eager to learn something new and has recently taken up 3D printing, creating fun toys for his 13 nieces and nephews. Bethan is a caring and compassionate individual who found her passion in life working with children as a pediatric nurse. She enjoys cooking and experimenting with new recipes.
In our free time, we love playing board games (which Dustin usually wins) and riding our bikes around the neighborhood. No matter what we’re doing, we always enjoy each other’s company and find joy in the little things.
Our Home & Pets
We live just outside of a big city in a small, peaceful neighborhood that's perfect for families. The area is full of children, and there's a park and walking trails nearby, making it an ideal place to explore and unwind. Bethan's mom lives just 10 minutes away, so visits are easy and frequent. Our large backyard is a haven for outdoor activities, and it’s where our three playful cats—Lucy, Luna, and Witcher—love to roam. Named after literary characters, they add a dash of fun and a bit of chaos to our home, always keeping things lively and full of surprises.
Our Extended Family
Bethan's extended family is a lively, close-knit group that loves being together. As the second of four children and the only girl, she’s always surrounded by a lot of noise and activity. Her parents, who recently moved back to the US, live 10 minutes away, making family gatherings frequent and easy. One of her brothers lives 15 minutes away with his three kids, and they’re regular visitors for soccer games and board game nights. Another brother lives 2 hours away with his five children, while the youngest brother is 6 hours away, also with five kids. Whether it's eating, talking, or laughing together, Bethan’s family is always excited to get together and enjoy each other's company.
Dustin has jumped into the chaos of Bethan's family and has loved every minute of it, despite growing up as an only child. He's quickly embraced the large, lively gatherings and the constant hustle and bustle. His mother lives an hour and a half away but enjoys spending holidays and birthdays with the family. Dustin's dad lives 5 hours away but makes frequent visits, often cooking up delicious meals and spending quiet evenings watching movies with us.
What Led Us To Adoption
Though growing our family biologically was not possible for us, we have spent years building a loving and stable home, and we are ready to share that love with a child. Our journey has taken a different path than we originally envisioned, but it has only strengthened our bond and solidified our dreams of growing our family through adoption. We are so grateful for the life we have built and can't wait to welcome a child into our hearts and home.

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!
