dear expectant mother
We can't begin to imagine the difficult decisions you have had to make already and the ones still ahead of you. We know this decision to consider adoption is not an easy one to make. Your courage and strength are incredibly admirable, and your child will always know the selfless decision you made for them. We can't begin to express how grateful and humbled we are to even be considered by you for this. It is something we do not take lightly. Both of us had the incredible blessing to grow up in houses where we weren't just told about unconditional love but were shown it. This is the central point that we strive to provide within our own home every day.
Know that your child is already immensely loved and cared for. Our families, friends, and we already pray over you and your child daily. If you choose us, your child will grow up in a huge family where every person has love to give and is already rooting for your child. Thank you for your selfless decision. We will remind your child of the first one to love and choose the best for them — you!
About Us
We are Jake and Anna and have been married for 12 years. We met 15 years ago at the same high school and church and have been together ever since. Anna is a registered nurse by trade but has chosen to be a stay-at-home mom for the time being to take care of our kids. She is naturally a homebody but loves to get together with family and friends. Jake works for the government, which has given our family lots of opportunities to travel and see the country and world. Jake is always going out of his way to help others and loves quality time with the kids. We both love the outdoors, working out, and spending as much time with family as possible. Both of us are very close with our parents and siblings despite wherever our travels take us.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a four-bedroom home on a sweet little cul-de-sac. We love spending time as a family running around the backyard, playing basketball, or riding bikes up and down the street. We have many hiking options close by and so many fun parks to pick from. We have an eleven-year-old Labrador retriever that we rescued when she was about two. She loves to play with the kids.
Our Extended Family
Family is by far the most important thing to us as a couple. We are extremely close to both sets of parents and all of our siblings. Both sets of parents have been married for more than 30 years and are all retired or in the midst of retirement, giving them more time to see the grandkids. Anna is the oldest of three, and all her siblings and parents always love to visit. Jake is the youngest of three and is also very close to his parents and siblings. Jake's siblings all have children and their own families, but all of them still make time to connect.
It's rare that a week goes by without talking to both sides of the family. Despite how far away we are from family, both sides have always found a way to see each other. We've been blessed with strong families and look forward to sharing that love!
Our Adoption Story
Adoption was something we'd always felt God had put on our hearts. Anna's family has many adoptions domestically and internationally, including her brother, who was born in India. Jake's mom worked for an international adoption agency for many years while Jake was growing up, and he saw the powerful impact adoption can have. We currently have one daughter who is biological, a son who is adopted from South Korea, and a son who is adopted domestically. We believe a loving family is the best gift a child can have. We feel beyond blessed to be considered for this opportunity again.

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!
