dear expectant mother
Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We are beyond excited for the chance to be parents and are surrounded by loving family and friends who are eager to welcome your child into our family. The words to express how thankful we are for this opportunity are incredibly hard to find. We have no way of knowing the feelings and emotions you are experiencing in this moment and commend you for your strength and courage in this decision.
Should you choose us, we will create a loving and caring home for your baby. We promise to provide your baby with unconditional love, support, and stability. We will remind them that you gave a gift that is far greater than anything and of your selflessness. They will be raised in a small town with the chance to play soccer or t-ball on the weekends, attend the county fair, and participate in many community camps offered throughout the summer. Their uncles will be there to teach them how to ride four-wheelers, golf, and ski behind the boat. Their aunts will be there to teach them the love of reading and baking. Don’t be fooled; the aunts are just as competitive as the uncles when it comes to family game nights and sports activities.
We hope you find peace in whatever you decide, and we are there to share your child’s journey with you, if you wish. We would be honored and forever grateful should you choose us.
About Us
We are Brandon and Payton from a small town in Nebraska. We attended the same high school and began dating while attending college in 2016. We later bought our home together following our engagement and had our dream wedding in Jamaica with our family and close friends in 2021. We love the outdoors and spend many days exploring the mountains or relaxing at the lake in the summers. We are easygoing, adventurous, loving, and loyal people. We enjoy getting together with our friends to have cookouts and lake days as well as game nights and road trips with our family. Payton is a kindergarten teacher with a short walk to school. Brandon is a continuous improvement specialist for a wind energy company with a very flexible work-from-home schedule. We live a very active life, always looking for our next adventure or a new place to visit.
Our Home
We have made our house a home over the last four years and have settled into a caring community where our neighbors are always willing to help out. It is a small community with a great school district that receives high ratings through the state education department. We live near the school with many kids in our neighborhood. We have a beautiful park and play area, a community pool, and trails, all within walking distance from our house. Our town is very active and holds many exciting events, such as the Light Parade during Christmas time, the downtown Halloween Parade, and a Summer Concert Series. We are still close enough to the city to enjoy things such as zoos, children’s museums, and play productions.
Our Extended Family
Payton’s parents have been married for 31 years and live 15 minutes from us, on the family farm. Payton has an older sister, two younger brothers, and a nephew, who all live near us. Payton’s family owns a lake cabin that we spend most of our summer weekends at wakeboarding, waterskiing, and tubing. We enjoy multiple family vacations yearly, whether it is snowmobiling in Wyoming, relaxing on the beach in the Caribbean, or getting our fix of adrenaline riding roller coasters. Our extended family, including grandparents, aunts and uncles, and many cousins, gathers for every holiday from Christmas to the Fourth of July, either in Nebraska or South Dakota.
Brandon’s parents have been married 30 years and also only live 15 minutes from us, in the same town as Payton’s parents! Brandon has an older sister and brother, a younger sister, and three nephews all living near us. Brandon has extended family in Texas and Louisiana whom we visit whenever possible. Brandon’s family also enjoys the outdoors and can be found fishing or golfing on the weekends. Brandon’s extended family gathers on many holidays, where Brandon’s dad likes to grill and the rest of us enjoy playing cards or cornhole.
What Led Us To Adoption
We are excited to begin growing our family and can’t wait to love and care for a child. Having experienced infertility and loss, we know the opportunity to adopt is an incredible blessing. Timing is everything, and we know adoption is the right path for our family. We have been together for over seven years and feel like we have created a very stable life physically, financially, and emotionally. We have had time to settle into our careers and community, building a strong foundation for our family. We want nothing more than to share our lives with a child through adoption. We will pour all of our love into our adoption journey, along with our friends and family.

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!
