dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
Words cannot express how brave and strong you are to consider adoption as an option for your baby. We are so honored to be considered for such an incredible role in your journey with your child. If chosen, we hope to bring all the love and joy in our families to your child so they know that in our home, they are safe and loved. We have open hearts and an open home for your child to express themselves to their truest potential and know they have us when dealing with life’s difficulties. We will raise your child with the expansive knowledge to make it in this world and the heart to help others.
We want to share our love of nature, adventure, music, and the arts with your child so they can have endless options of choices for their future and what they want to be. Brooke will teach them how to cook, while Cassandra will teach them how to craft. Nonna will read them stories, and Grampa will take them fishing. Everywhere they look, they will know they are surrounded by people who love them.
About Us
Hi! We are Cassandra and Brooke, and are living our best life on the northern East Coast. We have been together for over eight years, and every day feels like the luckiest day for us because we get to spend it with our best friend. Brooke is silly, genuine, and a great dancer and cook! Cassandra is bubbly, creative, a problem solver, and always crafting. We spend most of our time outside, hiking with our dog and boating, and we enjoy taking care of our yard daily. We are always trying to diversify our knowledge and be the best versions of ourselves we can be for the future generation. Brooke is a member of the Human Rights Campaign and teaches freshman in college when she is not directing campus recreation. Cassandra is a leader in the Pride group at her work when she is not assisting patients. We love to love and to share the love!
Our Home & Pets
We live in the countryside, driving distance to all that we love. Cassandra’s parents and brother are six minutes down the road, and the family lake house is 15 minutes away. We are in the heart of all that we do. We are near the state capital, where we enjoy supporting local business and the arts. We are close to the ocean and the mountains, where we frequently camp. We get to bring our lovable pup with us on adventures and enjoy our snuggles at home reading with our two purrfect cats!
Our Extended Family
Cassandra is the youngest sibling of four kids who are as close as close can be. They spend a lot of time together and know they are lucky to get along so well. We spend a lot of time with Cassandra’s family watching movies, going to the lake, and just sitting around talking and laughing. Her parents have been happily married for 37 years and raised strong, adventurous kids. Nonna and Grampa are excited to be first-time grandparents!
Brooke is a twin with her sister, and they have two brothers. Despite living in different states now, the family connection is strong, and the few hours’ drive is always made when they can all get together. Brooke knows how special it is to be a twin! Growing up, Brooke and her twin had each other’s back no matter what and always understood each other. The distance has not changed this! Brooke also has wonderful grandparents who love all their grandchildren and great-grandchildren tremendously and always let them know it!
What Led Us To Adoption
For us, there was no “before” that brought us to adoption. In our hearts, we always knew it was our first choice; Cassandra’s family will tell you that even at a young age, Cassandra always said she wanted to adopt. We believe adoption is an opportunity to bring the world closer together one lasting, loving relationship at a time, sharing love across boundaries and sharing unique experiences. How lucky we are to be considered for adoption. The possibility of raising your baby is a gift we are thrilled to be a part of. We have so much love to give, and after settling down in our first house, with a large yard in the countryside, we are ready to share it with children.

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!
