About Us
Sarah’s aunt set us up on a blind date, and get this—it worked! We got engaged in April of 2012 and married in December of 2012. We had our daughter in 2016. Sarah is a second grade teacher at a local elementary school, and Ben is a sales manager at a distributing company. Sarah loves to create t-shirts and crafty things. She enjoys coaching girls’ basketball at the high school in our town, and she loves relaxing days at home with our family. Ben loves all things outdoors! He enjoys fishing and watching movies with our family. When it comes to our personalities, we couldn’t be more opposite, but it works for us! Ben is very outgoing and has a loud personality. Sarah is more of an introvert and enjoys quiet time. Our daughter is the perfect mix of both of our personalities.
Our Home
Our home is in a quiet subdivision, on a cul-de-sac. We love our neighborhood because it is truly an extension of our community. Anytime you are outside and see a neighbor or someone in the subdivision, you always get a welcoming smile and a wave. We are so fortunate that Sarah teaches at an amazing school! Our daughter attends this school, and we love that she is able to be at the same school with Sarah from kindergarten to fifth grade. From the local amusement park to the multiple community festivals and the many local small businesses, there is always something new to eat, fun to do, or to participate in.
Our Extended Family
We both have loving extended families. We spend time every week with Sarah’s mom and dad. They attend the same church as us, and we have countless family get-togethers for game nights, family celebrations, and holidays together. Sarah has two grown brothers. Her older brother is married and has four sons. Her younger brother lives in the same town as her family.
Sadly, Ben’s dad passed away a few years ago. His mom remarried an extremely loving man. Ben has a younger brother and sister. His brother is married and has one daughter, with another daughter on the way. His sister is married and has two sons. We are fortunate to see them three to four times a year. They live about nine hours away, but we all make time to see each other.
What Led Us To Adoption
We were blessed with our biological daughter in 2016. However, it took a while for us to become pregnant. While we were in that waiting period, we both knew we wanted to be parents and were willing to make that happen in whatever way it was meant to be. We felt the tug of adoption on our hearts. After we had our daughter, we decided we wanted to add another child to our family, and we still had the desire for adoption. We can’t wait to add another child to love, and our daughter can’t wait to be a big sister!

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!
