About Us
We are Eric and Kayleigh from Oklahoma. We met in college in 2013 and got married in 2016. We’ve built our relationship on being best friends and spend every day getting the most out of life together. Eric’s calm, level-headed personality is a great balance to Kayleigh’s louder and fast-paced personality. We spent the last several years as foster parents, but we are excited to dive into our adoption journey! We love spending our free time hiking, visiting museums, gardening, and spending time with our dog, Lucy. Eric is an HVAC and plumbing supervisor for a small company, and Kayleigh is a marketing manager for a small chain of sewing machine stores. That means we always have a handyman to do everything around the house, and Kayleigh gets constant inspiration for sewing and quilting.
Our Home & Pets
We happily live in a suburb in northeast Oklahoma with a close-knit, small-town feel that is very connected. We are in one of the best school districts in our area and just a short drive from great attractions like a zoo, aquarium, and museums. Our neighborhood is very quiet and family focused with a park, walking trail, and pond. Our house is the place where we feel the most comfortable, with the living room being the heart of the home, where the family can hang out, watch movies, and play games. We also spend a lot of time in our yard, playing with our dog, gardening, and keeping bees.
Our Extended Family
We are very close with our families, and each of us has two siblings (Eric with two brothers and Kayleigh with two sisters). We have two nephews and two nieces we love endlessly and spend as much time with as possible. We love spending time with our families and lean on them as our biggest support system.
All our family members live fairly close by, so we are extremely lucky to see everyone often. Eric’s family gathers most Sundays for lunch at his Nana’s house, and Kayleigh’s family gets together every Sunday evening for dinner, making for a very fun, family-filled day! With our large families, every holiday and gathering is packed with people all having fun and enjoying being together.
What Led Us To Adoption
Very early on in our relationship, we felt called to foster children who needed a safe home for a time. After parenting three foster kiddos, we wanted more permanence and to experience all the fun we’ve had fostering with our own child. While we are unable to have our own biological children, we want nothing more than to be parents and share all the love and fun we have together with a child. We’ve been on this journey for years and are so excited to be at this point.

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!
