dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us and for considering the selfless decision you are facing. We cannot imagine the emotions you are experiencing, but we deeply admire your courage and strength. Should you choose us to become a part of your journey, we want you to know that your child is already deeply loved and will grow up knowing your decision was made out of love, bravery, and grace.
We feel incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to become parents together, and we all look forward to expanding our family. If chosen, we will raise your child with love, support, and guidance, creating a safe and joyful home. We would love to share milestones with you and stay connected, should that be your wish. Our greatest hope is to honor your role in your child's life while nurturing their future with care, compassion, and faith.
As we wait for God's plan to unfold, we are praying for you and your baby, wishing you peace, comfort, and strength. Thank you again for considering us while you make decisions about your child's future.
With love and gratitude,
Ryan & Jacy
About Us
We are Ryan and Jacy, and we met in 2018 while working for sister companies. We both grew up raising cattle and share a deep love for agriculture. We began dating in 2019, got engaged in May 2020, and were married that July in our hayfield on our farm in Ohio with Ryan’s two kids, Rylee and Aubrey, and our dog, Cookie. In 2021 we bought part of Ryan’s family farm, where we live across from the farm Ryan grew up on and where his parents still live. Ryan is a sales manager, and Jacy owns a marketing agency focused on agriculture. We enjoy showing cattle with Aubrey and love supporting Rylee’s musical performances. Church on Sundays and working on the farm are part of our family routine, and our favorite part of each day is riding through the hay fields and checking cattle together with our dogs running beside us.
Our Home & Pets
We live on our farm next to Ryan’s parents and youngest brother. Rylee is a senior in college, and he has a bright future in music ahead of him. Aubrey is a senior in high school, and we are so excited to see what she does with her final year in high school and where she chooses to attend college. While our community is rural, we’re close to larger towns with all the necessities. After purchasing the farm, Jacy enjoyed sprucing up the house, making it a cozy home for us. We have two dogs, Cookie and Gracie, and three indoor cats—Kally, Ty, and Grey Puddle (a barn cat turned house cat). We also have various barn cats, and our herd of cattle includes some gentle ones that feel like pets!
Our Extended Family
Ryan has two brothers and a sister, all of whom live with their families within 50 miles of us. We host most holidays at our house, bringing Ryan's family together, including Rylee and Aubrey's mother, and sometimes Jacy’s family when they visit from Wyoming. Jacy’s sister and parents live out west, so we travel there often and alternate holidays to spend meaningful time with both sides of the family. We’re lucky to have extended family across the country, making our travels a time to reconnect with loved ones.
We both grew up showing cattle, and our families enjoy coming to watch Aubrey show her heifers. We all love gathering for meals, and Ryan, an amazing cook, often swaps recipes with Jacy’s dad and his youngest brother, especially when it comes to smoking meats. Our families are so excited to welcome a new child and can’t wait to grow together!
What Led Us To Adoption
While infertility led us here sooner, adoption has always been something we wanted. We knew when we got married that we wanted to grow our family together, and over the past several years, we've built a life we love and strengthened our relationships with Rylee, Aubrey, and each other. We can't wait to share that love and life with a child. We are excited to offer a loving home surrounded by supportive family and friends.

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!
