dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
Thank you so much for your courage. If you choose adoption for your child, we know you will be making an impossible decision, which takes so much selflessness. We would be honored and grateful to look after your child. We want you to know we will raise your child as though we were able to conceive them ourselves.
We are in a great place in our lives, both professionally and financially. We would be honored to care for your child and raise them to be kind and to know Jesus. Our promise to you is to love, protect, and support your child in every way we possibly can; we want the best for them through every stage of life. We will shower them with love, and so will our families. We cannot wait for them to have playdates with their cousins and be a part of our family traditions. Our dogs will be so excited to have their very own little human brother or sister!
We could not be more thankful for you. If you choose this route, you would be helping make our dreams of parenthood come true. Your sacrifice truly means the world to us. Thank you so much for considering our family.
About Us
We’re Josh and Ashleigh. Josh is fun-loving, goofy, and intentional. His family was heavily involved in homeschool athletics, where he played several sports. He enjoys bowling, playing basketball, and especially playing video games. He has been with his employer since 2013. He loves what he does and is a great problem solver. He volunteers in the three-year-old room at church and has just as much energy as they do. Ashleigh is cheerful, responsible, and kind-hearted. She grew up in a small town and played the clarinet in high school. She absolutely loved marching band! She enjoys walking our dogs, binge-watching her favorite TV shows, and game nights with friends and family. She works in HR and has been with her employer since 2012. She has a good work-life balance with tons of vacation time! She loves volunteering in the nursery at church and absolutely loves taking care of the babies.
Our Home & Pets
We live in Oklahoma and bought our cute house in 2016, shortly after we got married. Our home was built in 1980 but was remodeled prior to our purchase. We are centrally located and live close to so many stores, restaurants, and activities. We have two beautiful fur-babies. Our dogs’ names are Juliet and Rory. We adopted Juliet in 2015 and Rory in 2018. They are best friends to each other and to us. We love taking them to the parks near us to chase some squirrels!
Our Extended Family
Josh is from Kansas, and his family still lives there. Luckily the drive to his family is less than three hours! Josh is the oldest of two and has a younger sister. She and her husband have four beautiful girls. We love our nieces so very much! We get together often to celebrate birthdays and holidays. We love doing activities with the girls, including building legos, coloring, and playing games. Josh’s parents love their grandchildren so much.
Ashleigh is the oldest of three; she has a younger sister and brother. Her younger sister is expecting a baby in October 2024. We are so excited to have a nephew to love on! Ashleigh was raised by her mom and stepfather. Ashleigh’s stepfather raised her as his own, and she views him as her dad rather than her stepdad. Ashleigh is very close with her parents and siblings, and she considers her mom one of her best friends. Ashleigh works near her Mema’s house and visits her for lunch almost every day.
Both of our families are thrilled for us as we go through this process. Our families will love our future child so very much.
We started trying to grow our family in 2017. We have never been able to conceive and have always longed for a family of our own. We desire wholeheartedly to raise a child in a safe and loving home. Adoption has been something we have always considered, and we are so excited to begin this process and bring our dreams to fruition. We cannot wait to have the family we have always dreamed of!

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!
