Dear Expectant Mother,

Please know God brings beautiful situations out of confusing and hard times.
Secondly, thank you for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. We are deeply humbled. If you decide to choose us, we promise to love and cherish your child with all our hearts. We promise to keep your child safe and happy, offering them as many opportunities as possible. We both wanted to be parents for so long. We believe all children are a gift, and you would be giving us the greatest gift by adding to our family. We know we would be a good fit for your child.
Lastly, we thank you for your selflessness and courageousness in considering us to be your child's adoptive parents. Know that we will be praying for you and your little one throughout your pregnancy. We hope God will fill you with peace in whatever decision you make.

About Us
Hello! We are Troy and Shannon. We are a dynamic and adventurous couple who enjoy exploring new cultures and cuisines. Our personalities complement each other; one of us is analytical and detail oriented, while the other brings a creative and spontaneous touch to our lives. Professionally, we are both dedicated to making a positive impact in our respective fields. Shannon is a teacher, and Troy is a director; we both find our jobs very fulfilling. In our free time, we love traveling, cooking, and attending various events in our community. Our shared interests and values have strengthened our bond and motivated us to pursue our journey together. We believe in living life to the fullest and are excited to share our experiences and values with a future addition.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a cozy five-bedroom, three-bathroom home nestled in a friendly, quiet neighborhood in Georgia. Our community is vibrant and welcoming, with beautiful parks, excellent schools, and plenty of local attractions to explore on the weekends. We are fortunate to have wonderful neighbors who share our values of community and support. Our home is filled with warmth and love. We have two older kids and two playful dogs: Bailey, who is as energetic as the day we first brought him home, and Comet, who resembles an ’80s rockstar. They both bring joy and laughter to our lives every day. They are great with our children and love making new friends. We believe our home and its loving environment will provide a perfect place for a child to grow, learn, and thrive.
Our Extended Family
Shannon was born in Philadelphia and comes from a larger family. She has three sisters from her mother and four sisters from her father. She has over ten nieces and nephews. Troy was born in New York and is of Jamaican descent. He comes from a smaller family; he is his mother’s only child. He has three children from a previous relationship.
We relocated from New York and Philadelphia several years ago. We are lucky enough to live close to Shannon’s twin sister, her fiancé, and their two children as well as Troy’s mother and grandmother.
Family and friends are a big deal to us. We enjoy entertaining our family and friends. Since buying our home, we have hosted Christmas pajama parties, birthday celebrations, many impromptu gatherings, and game nights. We often stay in touch with our out-of-state family with family Zoom meetings and yearly visits. We are lucky to have the support of our friends and family as we expand our family.
What Led Us To Adoption
We are thrilled about the opportunity to adopt because it allows us to share our love and life with a child. After years spent battling infertility and discussing and reflecting on our journey, we realized adoption was the perfect path for us to grow our family. We have a family member who has adopted, and their stories have inspired and guided us. Seeing the joy and fulfillment adoption brought to their lives helped make our decision easy. We are eager to provide a nurturing and supportive environment where our future child can thrive. Adoption is a beautiful way to build a family, and we are excited to embark on this incredible journey!

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!
