dear expectant mother
We want to start by thanking you for taking the courageous step you’ve taken by looking at our profile. We know this is a difficult time for you, and feel honored that you’d learn more about us.
We’re Jordan and Anthony, dog rescuers, world travelers, and hopefully someday, dads. Our home is warm and welcoming, and we want nothing more than to raise a family in it. Should you consider us as parents to your baby, we want you to know that your baby would be loved, protected, and supported by us.
When we have a child, our home will be their safe place. They’ll be able to come to us with anything, and we’ll never turn our backs on them. They’ll know they’re wanted and worthy. They’ll also know about your strength and selflessness, how much you love them, and how grateful to you we are.
Thank you again for taking the time to get to know us a little better. Whatever it is you decide to do, we wish you the very best in it and hope you can feel us sending love to you from afar.
Jordan & Anthony
About Us
Jordan is a Human Resources Executive for a public school district and loves cars, decorating, all four seasons, and the outdoors. Anthony is a culinary arts teacher and loves baking, reading, and the holiday season. We share a passion for traveling, and love to explore the world and try new foods everywhere we go.
We met at a mutual friend’s birthday party when we were just teenagers! We stayed friends for years and after we both attended college, we ran into each other back in our home town. The rest, as they say, is history! We’re so grateful to have found each other, and now we spend our time together traveling, volunteering at local animal shelters, and visiting our families.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a three-bedroom ranch in Rhode Island. Our neighborhood is amazing, as it’s secluded and quaint, but only a short walk to shopping, restaurants, and parks. The schools are great, and only four minutes away! Everyone in our area is friendly, and Jordan’s dad lives only a block over. We actually moved back here after moving away so that we can raise our family here.
We are passionate about rescuing dogs. We currently have three rescues: Pierre, Karli, and Jaxson. Sometimes, though, we have four dogs, as we provide end-of-life foster care for senior dogs, too. We’re so happy to be able to open our home to them and give them the very best last days, as they deserve.
Our Extended Family
Anthony has one brother, who also happens to be his best friend, and a lot of extended family. He grew up with many aunts, uncles, and cousins around all the time. We’re a very social family and love having big dinners and celebrations together.
Jordan has five siblings and numerous nieces and nephews. Jordan’s mom hosts Christmas Eve every year for both of our families, and cooks the traditional Italian seven fishes. We all love spending time together, no matter the occasion.
Family is extremely important to us, and our families are just as excited as we are to welcome a new baby. We dream of the day we get to watch our parents meet their new grandchild, and are so grateful that our child will be so unconditionally loved.
What Led Us To Adoption
As a same sex couple, our options were surrogacy or adoption. We knew right away that adoption was the route for us. We cannot wait to open our home and hearts to the baby meant for our family.
Jordan has always wanted to be a father. He’s known since he was a child that he wanted to give everything he could to children of his own one day. Anthony wanted children, too, but wasn’t sure it’d be a possibility for him. Now that we’ve embarked on this journey to adopt together, Anthony is so looking forward to raising a family and giving his children the same magical memories he has from his own childhood.

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!
