About Us
The mantra of our relationship is “Timing is everything.” We believe certain moments can make huge impacts in people's lives, and this is one of them. We are Zach and Bill, and we are excited to be dads! Our friends have described Bill as gentle and dependable and have described Zach as creative and patient. Together, we believe we’re hilarious and spend much of our days laughing! We encourage each other’s passions and goals, and we are excited to do the same for our child. Bill is a director on a learning and development team, and Zach is a chemical engineer in charge of mentoring junior engineers. Outside of work, you’ll likely find us playing board games, painting, doing pottery, reading, cooking together, or dancing around our house! We love to travel and are excited to expose our future child to as many different countries and cultures as we can.
Our Home
We love our neighborhood! Bill has lived in our home for almost ten years, and Zach moved in about four years ago. We are a few blocks away from one of the largest parks in the city, filled with playgrounds full of families, walking paths, and lakes. You’ll find us there picnicking, playing games, or reading under the trees. We often walk to farmers markets, restaurants, and coffee shops nearby! Our school system is one of the best in the state, and the elementary, middle, and high schools are all within walking distance too!
Our Extended Family
For us, family is everything. We consider ourselves lucky to have close relationships with our parents. Zach’s parents are excited to be grandparents for the first time, and Bill’s parents are thrilled to become grandparents again! Zach has one sister, and Bill has three sisters. Our sisters are our world, and we actually asked only them to stand beside us when we got married. They like to take credit for the kind, loving men we have become! We also love being uncles to our nieces and nephew, and we’re lucky to be called Uncle Bill and Uncle Zach by many of our friends’ kids.
We’re fortunate to have big families who love to get together throughout the year. Outside of the many holiday traditions we celebrate, one highlight each year is Bill’s family’s annual beach trip, where almost 40 aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, and great-grandchildren get together and have a blast! Zach’s family travels to Colorado for hiking trips in the summer and ski trips in the winter. Between our two families, there is no shortage of love. Our chosen family is always there for us too, and we spend many evenings hosting family dinners and game nights together.
What Led Us To Adoption
Fatherhood has always been a dream for us. We were raised in loving, caring environments, and we’ve always wanted to create a loving home for a child of our own. We’ve seen firsthand the joy adoption can bring as we have relatives who have adopted and friends who are adoptees themselves! After witnessing Bill’s aunt and uncle adopting their two children and the love between the children and them, adoption became the clear choice for us. We are so excited to bring a child into our loving world and to give them the same kind of happy, supportive upbringing we had. We’re ready to be dads, and we can’t wait to start this new chapter of our lives.

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!
