dear expectant mother
To Our Angel:
We want you to know we think so very highly of you. The path you are considering is not an easy one but one filled with self-sacrifice and love. The courage it takes to make hard decisions is so painful sometimes, and yet the outcome itself can be such a beautiful one. You are such a strong and beautiful woman. Thank you seems too weak, yet we have no other words. Thank you for considering giving us hope and the opportunity to grow our family.
We think of you and the little one you are carrying and pray for you often. We pray that the Lord will bless you and give you peace and comfort and that the baby will grow strong and healthy. We thank the Lord daily for you.
The paths we have walked have been long. Sometimes it has been hard to see ahead, but we know our path has crossed yours, and we feel so extremely blessed. We promise, should you choose us, to raise your baby in a loving home. We will teach him or her about Jesus and will raise him or her as a strong, independent individual. We will share stories of you and the sacrifice you made to make us a family. We will spend Friday nights together making pizza and Saturdays at the beach making memories. We will be surrounded by church family and extended family. We promise your baby will always be loved with unconditional love.
About Us
We are James and Angela. We met at college in Florida 14 years ago, after a history class. That was the only part of history class we remember. 😉 We started dating shortly after that and have been married for almost 12 years now. 2 years ago, we adopted a beautiful baby girl, Lila Grace Maguire. She means the world to us and we love playing and spending our days together. We currently own and operate our own bakery. Angela takes on the training and team building, while James runs the day-to-day operations. We are the best team and love running a business side by side. When we are not working, you will find us by the beach, at the park or having play dates with Lila’s friends. We love being outdoors and spending time with our extended family. We love fishing, boating, swimming, and ice skating in the winter.
Our Home
Our home is our haven. We live in a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in a beautiful community in the country. We were able to put in our own hard work and effort to make this house our dream home. We love waking up every morning and seeing the sun come up over the fields. We are so excited to share our haven with your sweet child and can’t wait to make many special memories here.
Our Extended Family
Our extended family means so much to us. James has five brothers of whom he is the youngest. We have nine nieces and nephews who we love spending time with. We often travel out of state to visit the other brothers and nieces and nephews. Having a large extended family keeps things fun and adventurous. It is never boring around here. Thanksgiving around the table is a tradition we look forward to every year.
Angela’s family lives out of state, but they visit often. Angela has one brother, and he has a wife and two children. Their boys can’t wait to have a cousin to play with. Christmas with Angela’s family is always the best. She has almost 30 cousins, who now have kids and families of their own. We all gather together during Christmas. It is always filled with games, memories, and reflection on how truly blessed we are.
Our Adoption Story
Our road to adoption has been a hard but beautiful one. We began our journey ten years ago and, through many disappointments, found out Angela had endometriosis. We have faced many years of infertility, but it has brought us to a point where we are now so grateful to be. We know adoption is right for us and feel completely called to this place. The hope adoption gives us that we may become a family is the best gift anyone could give.

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!
