dear expectant mother
To the Bravest Woman We Know:
We may not know each other, but we pray for you. We pray you know how strong and admirable you are. We know this is not a choice you ever dreamed of having to make, and we hope you find rest knowing that if we are chosen to walk together, you and your baby will be loved and supported. We will never be able to truly say how much you mean to us.
If we are chosen to be a part of your journey, your baby will be the joy in our hearts. They will be surrounded by so much love and support. On the homestead, we will teach them how to make jelly and bread. We will ensure they are loved in all aspects of life. Living on a homestead is never boring. We can’t wait to go on family vacations and have sand castle building contests and look for seashells. We look forward to going on hikes as a family and turning our house into a home. We have the perfect yard for mud pies and learning how to ride a bike. We have the perfect place for campfires and smores.
This decision is not easy. We hold your feelings in our hearts and wish the best for you at this time. We will dedicate our lives to raising your baby with unconditional love. We will encourage them to live their dreams and support them throughout their life.

About Us
We are Ethan and Miranda from Georgia. We met in 1999 in preschool and spent many years as friends. Later in life, our friendship continued to grow into something even greater. After college, we started dating and knew we wanted to spend forever together. We spent many years trying to justify a friendship that we knew was meant to me more. After we got married, we established a homestead to live a slow and meaningful life together. Miranda is a sales representative who enjoys gardening, painting, baking, spending time with family, spending time outdoors, and traveling. Ethan is an accountant who enjoys cooking, golfing, playing board games, spending time with family, and traveling. We especially love being aunt and uncle to our nine wonderful nieces and nephews and volunteering at the local Special Olympics.
Our Home & Pets
We live on a homestead five miles from where we both grew up in Georgia. We live in the countryside and take walks along the creek. We have several parks in our community. We have six chickens, two cats, three farm dogs, two inside dogs, and a pet pig. We are blessed to live in a rustic community full of support and love. Our animals are a big part of our lives. We enjoy going on walks and tending to our vocal chickens. Our roaster, Henry, always greets us with a good morning crow while going to work.
Our Extended Family
We are blessed to both be a part of large families. We are both the youngest of our siblings and have the best nieces and nephews in the world. Ethan has three brothers who enjoy grilling and watching sports together. Ethan is close to his parents and enjoys spending Thursdays eating and seeing who has the highest score on Jeopardy!
Miranda has two sisters, and they enjoy playing yard baseball or board games. We get together with our family at least once a week. We both adore our grandparents and enjoy hearing stories from their “younger days.” We enjoy hosting Fourth of July at our house and have cookouts for all holidays on both sides. We enjoy trick-or-treating, dying Easter eggs, and carving pumpkins as one big family.
What Led Us To Adoption
Adoption has always been in both of our hearts. Miranda knew from a young age she would not be able to have children due to medical reasons. Ethan’s heart grew on a mission trip to Africa while helping in a school with children and youth and knew he wanted to open his home to adoption. We suffered from a miscarriage earlier this year and two prior to that. We knew then that we wanted to start a family through the blessing of adoption and are ready to become a trio through this wonderful journey.

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!
