John and Angela
Dear Expectant Parents,
We admire your courage for choosing life and your selflessness in making an adoption plan. Even though we can only imagine what you are going through, we do know that this most important decision is being made out of love. We hope with your help, we can fulfill your desire to find a loving, caring family for your baby. We are John and Angela and we hope that with this little glimpse into our lives, you will feel a special connection to us and know we are the right family to raise your baby.
We grew up in the same small town and attended the same schools. We were friends before we were married and now have truly become best friends. We love sharing every moment of our lives with each other. We have dreamt of having a child of our own for many years and can’t wait to become parents. When we discovered we couldn’t have children, we realized that adopting a child and welcoming a new life into our home and family would be a great blessing to us.
About John by Angela
There is so much I could say about John-he is such an amazing man and I could not ask for a better husband. He is very kindhearted and compassionate toward others, which is what attracted me to him in the first place. He is also very sincere, quiet, and great with kids: he absolutely loves kids and is a big kid himself. You can always see his fun loving and patient nature when his is around children. His nieces love to spend time with him and they think he is their special playmate. He can also be very adventurous at times and can’t wait to share his love of the outdoors. He is always trying a new hobby. He enjoys fishing, golfing, scuba diving, camping and just recently discovered a love for sailing. Just being around him for all these years has made me a better person and I know he will be a great dad.
About Angela by John
One of the first things that attracted me to Angela was her outgoing personality and the fact that she is so self assured. As a matter of fact, she asked me out on our first date. We have been together ever since. I love her thoughtfulness toward other people and her tenderheartedness. She even cries at sappy movies. She loves playing board games with our nieces and taking them to kids movies. She is also a very good “dog mom” to our westie,
Our life together and extended families
We live in a small suburban town in the south close to a large metropolitan city. We love living close to a large city where we take advantage of all it has to offer. We enjoy museums, festivals, symphonies, sports and cultural attractions of all kinds. We also love the amenities of living in a small town where we have many community classes in music, art, and dance readily available. There are also soccer, flag football and softball teams for kids of all ages.
Our neighborhood is located in the country and is filled with lots of children riding bikes and scooters. We have our own neighborhood park, with a pool and a large lake just down the street. The schools, both public and private, rank among the top in the state and continue to perform above the national average. Our town has been named one of the Top Ten Towns for Families in
Our home has four bedrooms and is located on a corner lot with a very large fenced back yard, which we use often. John loves to grill on most warm days and is always throwing the Frisbee with
Our extended families are very important to us and are a big part of our lives. We are located within three hours of our parents who all still live in the same small town. We each have one sister and both each have one daughter. John’s sister lives locally and Angela’s sister is only 4 hours away. Our parents can’t wait for a new grandchild and our nieces are ecstatic about their new cousin. Our parents spoil each of the girls so much we are sure we will have to lay down some ground rules. Their new grandchild will be very overwhelmed by all the love and attention. We travel to see our extended families often and vacation with them each summer. We all get along great and love spending as much time together as possible.
Our families raised us both with strong Christian values. We are members of a local Christian church and we sit in the same pew almost every Sunday. We help with worship by reading announcements and scripture, preparing and serving communion, serving on various committees, and teaching children’s Sunday school. John serves as usher and has gotten the church sponsored Cub Scout Troup organized. Angela participates in various Bible studies and volunteers with Wednesday night meals.
Our parents instilled in us a strong emphasis on getting the best education possible. We both were able to get excellent educations and want to pass this value on to our children. We can’t wait to introduce our children to all that life has to offer. We hope to share our love of travel to teach our children about other cultures. We will expose them to all types of literature, provide toys that challenge them physically and mentally, and encourage them to be creative. We will support them when they struggle, applaud them when they do well, and guide them when they make mistakes.
John is an electrician and Angela is an officer at a regional bank. We both have a very strong work ethic and enjoy our professions, but we believe family comes first. We feel that evenings and weekends should be dedicated to family time and family activities. John usually works a four day work week which will give him and extra day off. He will put it to good use by taking care of the baby in his new roll as “dad.”
We spend most of our free time together. We often take
Our commitment to you
A child in our household will be raised with strong and consistent values of love and integrity. We are very close to our families and have longed to have one of our own. When we discovered that we could not have children, we happily looked to adoption as a way to begin our family. We realized that adopting a child would be a great blessing to us and we have plenty of room in our hearts to love a child. We want to hold a baby in our arms, answer all the many questions, wipe the runny noses, bandage the skinned knees, and wipe away the tears. We simply want to be “mom and dad.”
We believe that families created by adoption are special and should be honored. Please know that you will be celebrated in our home. Your child will always know his or her adoption story and will be proud of the unique and wonderful way we became a family. They will also know that they came from the most loving person we could ever image.
We wish you all the best.
