dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
Words cannot express how thankful and humbled we are to be considered. We know this period must be difficult as you consider the best option for your baby. We admire your strength and courage and hope you find peace with your decision. Please know we are praying for you during this time and that your child is already loved by so many.
Should we be chosen to walk this journey with you, we want you to know your baby will be raised in a home filled with love, support, grace, and lots of laughter. We will provide them an excellent education, allow them to explore their unique talents and interests, teach them to follow in Christ’s footsteps, and show them the world on our many travels. They will be given the tools to face the world and be surrounded by friends and family who are so excited to meet and support them. Brian cannot wait to share his love of sports and teach them to cook. There will be plenty of crafts and fun science experiments with Elena. And of course, we cannot wait for them to become best friends with Heidi!
We would be beyond excited and honored if you were to choose us to raise your baby. We promise to love them unconditionally and always provide them a safe home. Your child will be the perfect addition to our family, and we cannot tell you how much joy they will bring us. Our admiration and prayers are with you as you navigate this journey.
With love,
Brian & Elena
About Us
Hi, we are Brian and Elena from Texas. We have been together for five years and married for two and a half years. Brian is a tax accountant who is fiercely loyal, hardworking, and tenacious in the things he pursues. He enjoys playing golf, cooking, photography, and is a huge sports fan. Elena is a teacher who is full of energy and has a zest for life. She enjoys crafting, sewing, being outdoors, and is a science nerd who loves astronomy and earth science. Although we are each different and unique, we complement each other and work together as a team in our marriage. We both value honesty, kindness, education, and our faith. We love spending time with family and friends, traveling the world, cooking together, and attending festivals, concerts, and sporting events.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a quiet community in Texas. Our neighborhood is full of activities for families and is surrounded by hiking and biking trails close to a nearby lake that gives plenty of amazing sunsets! We are near almost every kind of activity that a family would love to do, including neighborhood parks, pools, sporting events, and other fun activities. Our home has four bedrooms and lots of room to grow a family. We have one fur-baby, Heidi, a German shepherd who loves walks, belly rubs, and playing with our friends’ kids.
Our Extended Family
Family is very important to us. We both come from large families who have always loved and supported us. Brian’s family lives some distance away, but they love big, loud gatherings full of food and love. We enjoy escaping the city and going back to Brian’s hometown to see family as often as possible.
Elena comes from a “Big Fat Greek” family on her mom’s side and a smaller family on her dad’s side. We see her parents often since they live closer. Our holidays are always filled with aunts, uncles, cousins, and lots of food.
We cherish our extended family, which includes our chosen family: friends and their children who are near and dear to our hearts. These extended members of the family have stood by us through some of life’s toughest moments, but we also get to celebrate life’s excitements and support them through their challenges. We believe these influences will make a wonderful group of aunts and uncles to our children.
What Led Us To Adoption
We are excited about the opportunity to grow our family through adoption. Having been advised by our doctor not to carry biological children, adoption was an obvious choice to share our love with a child. We have known many people who have been blessed with children through adoption and have seen the joy those children have brought to their families. We have built a wonderful life together and feel now is the perfect time for a little one to join us. We dream of the day when we get to attend school programs and extracurricular activities, allow them to experience other cultures through travel, worship together as a family, read bedtime stories, watch them become best friends with our pup, and spend hours on end playing outside.

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!
