Our Families Hoping To Adopt
We currently have more than 100 wonderful families, each open to a variety of special needs. Our families go through an extensive screening process. They must have experience with special needs, be approved to adopt, have current criminal background checks, letters of reference and home visits. These families have learned first hand how children special needs can bless those around them and they want nothing more than to welcome a baby special needs into their family. Here are just a few of our families. To learn more about them or the other adoptive families, please contact Sara at sara@specialangelsadoption.org.
Cathleen and Chris
We are Cathleen and Chris, and we have two biological sons, Theo (age 11) and Sam (age 7). Theo has autism and ADHD, and Sam has Down syndrome and autism, so we are well versed in the world of special needs and neurodiversity!
Our boys bring a lot of love and laughter into our home, and we can’t wait to welcome a daughter to our crazy life! We love to travel and try to take at least one big trip a year (and a few weekend jaunts throughout the year if we can manage). Our biggest adventure was a nine-week cross-country road trip in the summer of 2018, and we can’t wait to do that again someday.
We also love animals and have a sizable brood: one pug and four cats!
We live in a small, friendly town that is driving distance to a major metropolitan area with great healthcare and lots of opportunities for fun family activities. Our boys are particularly fond of the beach!
Thanks for taking the time to read about us!

Mackenzie and Andrew
Our family has been previously touched by adoption through our oldest daughter, Dakotah. Dakotah has mild special needs, specifically intellectual disabilities. It has been an absolute joy to call her our own as we grow in love and understanding of each other. We have an exceptionally open adoption with her birth mother and we hope to share another open adoption in the future.
God has exposed our lives to many different kinds of special needs over the years— through joy, sincerity, and growth— and we feel drawn to adopt a child with special needs. We are blessed to have a support system that many people do not! Our church and our families have wrapped their arms around us as we welcomed Dakotah in to our family & we are confident they will again with a future child.

Christopher and Stephanie
Hello! We are Christopher and Stephanie! We are hoping and praying to adopt again. We have three amazing children and lots more room in our loving home. We live in West Virginia for now, but we travel a lot and have the opportunity to live overseas in the next two years. Chris is a federal agent and Stephanie is a stay-at-home mom. We're high school sweethearts and have been happily married for 13 years. We are a Christian family and financially stable. We love Disney and Star Wars, swing dancing, games together as a family (UNO is one of our favorites), horseback & ATV riding, the beach, and we are active in Cub Scouts. We also enjoy baking together as a family. Our friends describe us as family-oriented, adventurous, and loving. We have an amazing pediatrician with weekend hours and are familiar with support services, therapists, and specialists in our area. We have had experience caring for special children through our time serving as foster parents these past 4 years in our community. We also have to mention that our eager and supportive parents (the children's grandparents) have farms with horses and are able to offer private, therapeutic riding sessions. If you want a life of travel and culture for your baby and if it's possible your little one may be a future beach lover and like animals too - and if you're searching for a family to give your child extra love and attention from older siblings, then we may be the right fit! I'm so glad God brought us together and we're honored to have your consideration.
Sheena and Nathan
We are Nathan and Sheena, and we have an amazing love story. We were high school sweethearts and knew, if possible at 15, that we were soulmates. In July of 2013, we eloped in the Bahamas and have remained inseparable. Nathan works as a Sales Consultant in a historic Steel Mill located in our hometown. Sheena works as a Medical Coder for a nationally recognized hospital. Together, we love running, walking our dog, visiting family, being active members of our church community, antiquing, and attending all types of sporting events—our favorite being college football.
We adopted our first child, Addison, in the summer of 2018, and she is the joy of our lives. Our Christian faith is very important to us, and as a couple, we believe in faith, love, compassion, and respect. We place our faith in Jesus, and everything else just falls right into place. Stacey and Pete
Pete and Stacey are eager to add to their family through adoption. Pete is a Training Coordinator in the oil and gas industry, Stacey is a stay at home parent. They have a son, Nolan, who they adopted at birth. He is in preschool as a typical partner for children with autism and disabilities. They are looking to not only expand their family through another adoption but to help a child or children find their forever family. They look forward to providing a safe and secure home where a child can be given the tools to succeed to the best of his/her ability. Their lifestyle offers structure, love and patience for children.
They live in a suburban setting on a cul-de-sac with a playground and fishing pond. They have a community Easter egg hunt and trick or treat night! They live close to the center of town with multiple schools and a preschool nearby. They also have 3 different community centers that offer various extracurricular activities for people of all ages. With access to local resources for medical, physical, and mental health services, they are prepared to help children be successful. There are 2 local adoption support groups for both adoptive parents and children. |
Jacklyn and Brandon
Hello expectant mama! We are so happy that you found us to consider as the potential forever family for your child. Brandon and I live in a tight-knit community in Arizona and we are so excited to become parents through adoption. We have been foster parents for three different children over the last two years, and are ready to be a forever family to our future child.
We have a loving family who is supportive of our desire to grow our family through adoption. We both have uniquely compassionate hearts as we both had careers in social work where we cared hands-on with different families and children. We love to travel to visit family in Texas, love spending time with friends playing board games, and taking frequent walks to our neighborhood parks! We hold firmly to our faith and to our Christian community, where we have taught and led youth in different ministry opportunities. This is a very important part of our lives and we are excited for our church community to love on our future child.
We have been dreaming of how we can support an expectant mama and the day we will meet our future child. If you are considering adoption for your child, we hope that you will think of us.

Tracey and Jim
Hi! We have been married for 31 years, 12 kids (ten adopted), grandkids, aunts, uncles, cousins, and never a dull moment. Such is our beautiful life that God has granted us. It's busy, adventurous, mostly loud, and filled with lots of love and joy. This crazy gang enjoys life together...we play, we minister, we love, we cry, we encourage, and we pray together. We're a family, and this family continues to welcome more little ones to care for, love and give a forever family. Adoption is our calling. Our children are our treasures here on earth. Our arms and our home are open to embrace the precious life of another, should the Lord allow it to be. We are excited and prayerful.We are a large and very diverse family who feel called to love little ones and give them a forever family to raise them and care for them. We are very involved in community outreach to children with special needs and in nurturing and caring for our children as well. Our family is unique in that we all love and desire to adopt, from the oldest to the youngest. Everyone shares in a special love for children who need forever families. It's very sweet to watch. Our kids share in our excitement every time we get a call to adopt again. The excitement is overwhelming and such a beautiful sight. It's special when an entire family embraces a calling to care for and love children.

Alex and Kristina
Hello! We are Alex and Kristina and we are a hopeful waiting family to adopt! We have been married for almost 10 years and have a 5 year old. After having our daughter via IVF, we knew we wanted to continue to grow our family! We want to adopt and not only have another child to love, but also that child’s birth family. We are a very active family that loves spending time together. We would love to get to know you!
Staisha and Allen
Hello from Allen, Staisha, and Colton! We have been married for 9 years, and Colton is 6 years old. We live in a cute rancher near both sets of Grandparents and 8 aunts and uncles! Our dog Bandit is the sweetest little cockapoo, who loves playing with our chickens and snuggling on the couch. Colton was born early and has CP, epilepsy and several other disabilities. Don't let that fool you though, he is a smart, sassy, flirty kindergartner with a lot of smiles. As his parents, we have learned how to advocate and get him all the resources he needs and not allow his struggles to sap joy from our lives. We look forward to the day we can add another child to our lives through adoption.
Kay (Kyoko)
Hello! I am Kay (Kyoko). I have a love for hiking and taking walks in the outdoors. I’m very fortunate to have developed a close-knit network of caring friends in the area who are very happy about my journey of adoption and very supportive and willing to help out as if they were family.
Gardening and dance are two of my biggest hobbies. I love helping things grow. I’ve learned
to grow many types of vegetables and fruits in the backyard. I regularly grow kale, watermelon, tomato, grapes, cucumber and green peppers and harvest them to give to my friends as well as to enjoy in my kitchen. As for dance, I’ve learned Salsa, Hawaiian dance, and my current favorite is Zumba. Lately, I attend a Zumba class online everyday after work. I earned my license to teach Zumba recently and started teaching Zumba in November of 2019. Zumba has also helped me expand my social circles and develop new friends.
My current home (4-bedroom, 3-bath single family home) is in a quiet and safe neighborhood, has good-sized front and backyards and is located in a diverse community with neighbors of different cultures including Asian, Hispanic, African American and Caucasian. I believe a child of any ethnicity would feel included and part of the community here. I’m about 20 minutes from the beach by car and have quick access to three different highways. I’m also located a five-minute walk from a highly-rated elementary school. My neighbors are friendly and keep a good watch on each other’s homes.
I hope my words have given you a glimpse of my heart. For me, it feels miraculous to be given this opportunity to care for a child. I’ve always loved children and since I’ve been an adult I’ve wanted to raise a child and help him/her to grow, provide for them, help them to experience the world in their own way. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for me and I promise to give my best for your child. I hope that we can develop a unique connection and if you are interested in doing that, I will always be open to you and would love to share your child’s growth with you as much as possible.

Dawn
Hello, my name is Dawn. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I appreciate the tough decisions birth parents make in creating an adoption plan for their child. I have the utmost respect for them and the path they take. I pray daily for birth parents and their children.
Unfortunately, I can no longer have children due to complications. After, the diagnosis I took the time to heal and pray, and I came to the conclusion that I still wanted to be a parent, so I began exploring adoption.
Through my photos, you will see I often wear sunglasses, as I am light sensitive and it causes migraines. I do love taking pictures, and I hope to share photos and videos with birth parents as their child grows.
I was a teacher for close to a decade, and now I can be a stay-at-home mom. I hope that I can show a child that having more than one dream is alright, and changing your path is always an option. The title of mommy means the world to me, and I can’t wait to grow my family.

I am a single mother by choice wishing to grow my family through adoption. I am fluent in American Sign Language and have many years of experience with differently-abled individuals. My family is very active and fun. We love to spend time playing sports, theme parks and the beach. We enjoy cooking our nightly meal together and winding down with a good book.
Laura and Joe
Hey there precious mama!️
️ Joseph and I (Laura) are both teachers who have devoted our lives to caring for children. We have been married for 6 years and live in a very family-friendly suburb outside of Chicago. We are Home Study approved.✔️
What Led Us To Adoption
We love children and have always wanted a big family. After years of fertility treatments, we were blessed with our little boy, and since Joe is an only child, his dream and our dream is for our son to have a brother or sister to grow up with. After multiple losses, we felt the best way to grow our family is through adoption. We have always thought adoption was so beautiful and have friends who have been blessed with a family through the adoption process. We have so much love and cannot wait to add another blessing to our family.

Hi! I am a single, Hispanic, Christian female that owns her own business and I have been educating children in private family homes for 10 years .

We are excited to provide a nurturing loving home and welcome more children into our family. I have a great support system from my church, my family and friends, and support groups. My medical background helps me better prepare for my children's future. Our family is eager to welcome a little one into our home.
Jason and Sharon
Hi, we're Jason & Sharon (and Asher)! We met in 2007 while training for a marathon.

We both think that we are the funniest people alive and love to go on adventures, travel, and spend time with our family. We love our son, Asher, who was born in August 2018, more than words could possible describe and want more than anything to grow our family and share the love that we have to give.
