dear expectant mother
To a Loving Mother:
We know this is not an easy decision for you, and we are honored you are taking the time to view our profile. Please know that while we very much look forward to becoming parents again, you are and will always be the mother who gave life to this baby.
We will think of you often and how you are doing. If we are lucky enough to become parents again, know that your baby will grow up loved and surrounded by a family that will treat this little soul as one of their own. Your child will grow up loved! We are grateful for you and hope you find the strength you need in your journey.
With love,
Michael and Christopher
About Us
When we first met, there was an instant connection. We knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with each other. Eight years later, we are as happy as ever and strive every day to make each other as happy as possible. We are a perfect match and best friends who share our deepest thoughts with one another. As a fun-loving, happy family, we love making each other laugh and keep each other on our toes by acting goofy and carefree. Michael is looking forward to supporting our family in his role as a manager of sales, and Christopher is a stay-at-home dad and master blanket fort builder. We love to travel and go on a Disney vacation at least once a year as well as vacation with the whole family. We cannot wait to continue this tradition with the addition of our second child!
Our Home
We live in the suburbs of a large city with our beautiful daughter, Delilah. We currently reside in a five-bedroom, two-story home with a large backyard. Our area has a lot to offer; it provides one of the best school districts in the state, many parks, and an outdoor shopping mall where Chris walks around with Delilah when it is nice out. A huge bonus is that Michael’s immediate family all live in the same neighborhood as us. Delilah gets many weekly visits with her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins!
Our Extended Family
Michael has a large family, and we spend as much time as we can with our five nephews and six nieces. One of our traditions is going to Disney World as a family every year or two. We love that our daughter gets to experience the fun we share on these magical vacations. Both our families also love large family gatherings, like our Christmas Eve party. Chris’s family goes trick-or-treating every year as a family, and growing up, they were on the lake every weekend.
Our Adoption Story
Our journey started in late 2020 just prior to getting married. Almost two years to the date we got a call on Chris’s birthday saying that a couple was very interested in us. We reached out to the birth parents, who told us that they were picking us to adopt their six week old baby girl, Delilah. We were filled with joy, and spent the next two days buying everything we needed for our new baby.

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!
