dear expectant mother
Thank you for taking the time to read and carefully consider us to care for and love your little angel. We can fully appreciate that this decision is not an easy one to make, but we want you to take comfort in knowing your baby will be loved more than they could ever possibly imagine. In fact, we know they already are. In considering these steps, you are showing your child how much they mean to you simply by wanting them to have the best life they can have.
We will strive to always ensure that your child’s needs are met. They will be taught the values of kindness, respect, and resilience and understand the importance of helping and caring for others. We understand that uniqueness and individuality are incredibly important to your child’s growth and well-being. No matter what challenges they face, we will always provide our unwavering support along the way and teach them to become stronger in the face of adversity.
Again, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to consider us to give your little one a home. We stand by our commitment to you that they will always know love and compassion from their family, who has already fallen in love with them.
With infinite love and gratitude,
Matt and Brandon
About Us
We are Matt and Brandon from central Florida. We met in 2018 when Brandon visited Walt Disney World. In March 2022 we got married in Florida. Our relationship can be described as one big adventure. We are big travelers and love to spend time outdoors! We are also huge theme park nerds. We love to spend time exploring Disney parks using our annual passes. We also enjoy visiting local beaches and attractions, such as Universal and SeaWorld. We are both teachers, with Matt teaching fifth grade (math and science) and Brandon teaching middle school (computer science). Matt enjoys quiet mornings on the back patio with a good book or his guitar and a cup of coffee or hot tea. Brandon enjoys cooking, game nights, and hosting friends and family gatherings.
Our Home & Pets
Our home for the past four years has been in a quaint townhome neighborhood. Our neighbors are young to middle-aged working families. It’s common to see children and teens riding their bikes, playing soccer, and swimming in the community pool. Our area in central Florida has a lot to offer families, including world-class parks and attractions, such as Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, and Legoland. There are several natural parks and botanical gardens we visit to spend the day. We share our home with our two adopted cats, Charlie and Luna. Charlie loves to play, have conversations with us, and sit up high, looking over the living room. Luna loves to cuddle and sunbathe on our private, screened-in back patio.
Our Extended Family
We both have a very close relationship with our extended families. Matt’s family currently lives in his home state of Ohio. He has one biological sister and one stepsister as well as two brothers-in-law. Matt’s extended family is also big on adventure. Whether we are visiting Florida beaches with his dad and stepmom or cruising through Alaska with his mom, there is never a dull moment. Brandon’s family currently lives in the Carolinas. He has two brothers and two sisters-in-law. His family enjoys backyard bonfires, hosting big family/friend gatherings, and traveling to the mountains or the Carolina beaches together on vacation.
We traditionally spend Thanksgiving with Brandon’s family in North Carolina, while Christmas is spent with Matt’s family in Ohio. Holidays have always been very important to us, and we always make family a priority during these special times.
Although our family is located out of state, we have a strong circle of friends. We get together once or twice a month to socialize as a group. However, we spend most weekends with one or two of our closest friends, whether for game night, going to the movies, or seeing what’s new at Disney.
What Led Us To Adoption
Brandon was adopted at the age of two by his father through stepparent adoption and later in life reconnected with his birthfather. Being unable to have biological children, we discussed different options for starting a family. We ultimately landed on the path of adoption. We are ecstatic about starting a family of our own and sharing our love with our little one.

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!
