dear expectant mother
The word thankful seems too small to express how we feel that we are being considered in this adoption process. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us and our families. We want you to know whatever decision you make will be the right one. We will never be able to understand how you are feeling at this moment, but please know your love for your child cannot be questioned. You and your history will always be a part of this child’s life. We promise that every day we will provide them with information to help them understand where they come from and how much they are loved. We admire you so much for making a decision like this as it takes so much strength and selflessness.
If we have the privilege of being chosen, please know this child will be joining a large family full of remarkable people, unconditional love, and an immense amount of support. Our family and friends cannot wait to shower this child with love and to be there for all of their biggest milestones. Every day of their lives will be reinforced by our love, support, and encouragement for them.
Thank you,
Matt & Hannah
About Us
We are Matt and Hannah from Washington State. We met in January 2017 and got engaged that October. Matt is a calming force full of ambition and loyalty and is a big kid at heart. Hannah has a great sense of humor and the biggest heart and is full of service. We love to cook and spend time together on the golf course. Matt is a senior customer operations specialist, and Hannah is a realtor on a top-producing team. We enjoy the flexibility and work close to our home. We both have great memories living close to our grandparents and cousins and cannot wait for our own children to have that as well. We love spending time with our family and friends, whether it's walking over to the golf course, grilling out in the summers, or watching football together. We are looking forward to sharing these experiences with our future children!
Our Home & Pets
The best part about where we live is that we are 10-15 minutes away from work, shopping, and family. We currently live in a luxury apartment complex as we are waiting to build the home of our dreams in the next five years. We have a small patio and a huge side yard where we take our dogs out to play. We live across the street from a golf course, where we spend a lot of our evenings and weekends. Our home is about five minutes away from the closest parks on the river, where we take walks when it’s nice out, which is most of the year. We have two dogs, Luna and Finn.
Our Extended Family
Our families are very close-knit and love to spend time together. We live about ten minutes from Hannah’s family. Matt’s family lives in Minnesota, and we have one or two visits a year.
Matt’s family lives on a 20-acre farm in a small Minnesota town. He grew up living next door to his aunt and uncle, cousins, and grandparents. Matt spent a ton of time on the farm and outdoors fishing and kayaking. We grew up playing tennis and swam on the same team in high school. We spent summers going on family trips to historical spots and to Maine and ate lobster straight from the ocean. Matt’s family is Swedish, and every holiday season, we spend time making their traditional dishes.
Hannah’s family loves sports and games. We have a competitive spirit that goes deep. If we were not traveling for sports, we were spending it at both of our grandparents' homes and having sleepovers with our cousins. The holidays were full of traditional tamale making and sugar cookie baking! We used to spend every Labor Day weekend in Lincoln City, OR, on the beach. We love family dinners and game nights, which always end in belly laughs. Both families are beyond excited to bring a child into the group!
What Led Us To Adoption
We are unable to have children biologically, as it would be unsafe for Hannah to get pregnant. However, from the beginning of our relationship, we discussed becoming parents and how important it was for us. We were called to adoption because of the love we feel we would be able to give our future children. We know we can provide a stable home for our children not only financially but physically and emotionally. Creating a life that mirrors the childhoods and experiences we had is our dream. We are so grateful we will get to share all of us and our families with our future child.

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!
