dear expectant mother
We are having a hard time coming up with the words to express how thankful we are to even be considered in this process. We have no way of knowing what it's like to be in your shoes and to fully understand the emotions you are experiencing. A decision like this takes strength, courage, and selflessness; we hope you understand how admired you are for that.
Should you choose us, your baby will be surrounded by love and support. They will be raised with pets and a childhood filled with adventures and family. There will be so many life lessons learned that they will carry them wherever the future may lead. We have worked hard the last few years to design the lifestyle we want for our children. We look forward to the days of grilling on the deck, campfires in the backyard, and time spent with friends and family.
We wish you the best in making this decision and hope you find peace with whatever you decide. We would be honored, excited, and forever grateful should you choose us for your baby. It would be our life's mission to make you proud and confident in your decision to choose us as parents for your child.
-Tiffany and Richard
About Us
We are Tiffany and Richard from Virginia. We met in June of 2012 in Arkansas, got engaged in May of 2014, and were married in July of 2014. Richard has served in the Air Force for 15 years. He is hardworking, a great cook, and is always good for a laugh. Tiffany is a Medical Technologist. She's an avid reader, honest, and witty. We recently moved to Virginia for Richard's work. We enjoy the simple things in life. We love hiking, playing video and board games together, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a three-bedroom, 2 and a half bath home in a small suburb in Virginia. When we were dating, we knew one day we would want to grow our family. Our neighborhood is a series of cul-de-sacs and is extremely family-friendly, with kids of all ages. We are lovers of all animals and currently have a Shiba Inu dog, Momo, and an American Ragdoll cat, Nostrepheous. Both have grown up around friends, kids, and all of our nieces and nephews. Both are very loving and social. We call them our furry children and our furry "overlords".
Our Extended Family
In spite of the military lifestyle, Tiffany and Richard are very close with their families and make regular trips to visit both sides.
Tiffany has two siblings, a brother and a sister. Her brother has given them an adorable nephew. Her mother passed away in 2019, but she stays in frequent contact with her father and stepmother. She is also very close with both her surviving grandmothers. She has a close and loving relationship with her in-laws, especially her sister-in-law.
Tiffany also has a very close childhood friendship with her best friend. They've known each other since they were ten years old. They speak and text regularly, and enjoy trips with both families. Tiffany and Richard are the godparents of her friend's children.
Richard has one sister whom he has a very close and loving relationship with. His mother passed away in 2020. He regularly speaks with his father and makes plans to do things together. His sister has given them one precocious nephew and two rambunctious nieces. Tiffany and Richard are also the designated guardians of both sets of nieces and nephews.
What Led Us To Adoption
We are unable to have biological children, but have always wanted to adopt regardless of our ability to have biological children. We have spent the last few years building the lifestyle we have always hoped for. We want to be able to provide the best home life possible and be present for our children. We feel we are now in a very stable place physically, financially, and emotionally. The fact that we have waited a little longer than anticipated has strengthened our relationship and made our dreams of a family very clear. We are so grateful for the life we have, and can't wait to share our love with a 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!
