About Us
Hello! We are Rhieza and Naomi from Virginia. Way back in December 2017, we connected through online dating and officially started our relationship. After a year of long-distance relationship, we got engaged and married in 2019. Rhieza is a diligent, family-oriented, funny, and generous individual, while Naomi is a great cook and also likes to bake, who is direct, affectionate, and passionate. We have a big extended family. That's why we enjoy dining out, watching movies, long drives, exploring the city around us, and having big parties with the whole family and relatives. We both work at the same company; Rhieza is an afternoon supervisor in the Supply Chain department, and Naomi works nights as a machine operator in the Production area. We constantly motivate and support one another in becoming the best versions of ourselves.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a four-bedroom ranch-style house in Virginia Beach with Rhieza's parents, sister, and niece. We also have two small dogs named Poh Chie and Bella. Poh Chie is a 13-year-old Shih Tzu, while Bella is a 4-year-old Maltese. Our home is conveniently located near schools, shopping centers, malls, restaurants, and various attractions. Last year, we upgraded our backyard by adding a patio, which has become our gathering place with the dogs and family from spring to fall. Rhieza's parents enjoy gardening there, particularly planting vegetables. This area is our favorite spot to relax, enjoy the outdoors, play music, sing karaoke, and grill.
Our Extended Family
We are very blessed and grateful to have a large, caring, loving, and very supportive extended family around us.
Rhieza's family has a big extended family, most of Rhieza's family and relatives are all here in Virginia. They enjoy spending weekends having big parties, from small to big celebrations. During the summer and winter, we love visiting Water Country, Busch Gardens, going to the beach, and finally having a big reunion party with the whole family.
Naomi's family resides in the Philippines and in Japan. Naomi's mom and her younger brother are in the Philippines, and Naomi's father and her aunt are currently in Japan, but we do catch up with them through FaceTime almost every day.
What Led Us To Adoption
We have always envisioned beginning our life's journey with a child. After Naomi was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2018, having biological children has become a significant risk for us, especially to her health. This is why we have chosen adoption as our path. We have faith and sincerely believe that God will bless us with a child who will be cherished and deeply loved by our family. Our hearts are overflowing with excitement, joy, and love to share. We feel as though we are getting closer to realizing our dream, and we are eagerly looking forward to this journey, feeling immensely grateful for it.

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!
