Torben & Angela are hopeful adoptive parents from Colorado waiting to adopt a baby.

If you are pregnant and considering placing your child for adoption, please read the following Dear Birthmother Letter.

Congratulations!
We've Adopted a Girl.

Dear Birth Parent(s), Thank you for taking the time to let us tell you about ourselves. We know that adoption is an important part of God’s plan, and it is something for which we are very grateful. Through our journey of trying to bring a child into our home, we have gained a great love for birthparents. It would be a privilege to be entrusted with the sacred responsibility of nurturing a child. We admire and respect you. We would love to learn more about you.

We are a caring and loving couple who would love to be blessed with a child. We have a wonderful marriage, and have been married ten years. We feel so grateful and excited about adopting. We both graduated from college. Torben has a great career as an attorney and provides well for us. Angela looks forward to being a full-time mother and loves being a homemaker. We both look forward to being parents. Our children will be in a secure and loving home with parents that love them and each other. They will feel love and unity in their home. Our children will be an immense blessing and we will always do everything we can for their benefit. We feel it an honor to be entrusted with little ones and feel a love for them already. We look forward to loving and caring for them, and supporting their interests and talents. We will do all we can to help them experience a wonderful life. We will support and nurture them spiritually, emotionally, educationally and physically. We will have so much fun together.

We are very close and truly love each other. Spending time together is very important to us and we enjoy anything that will allow us to be together. We always have fun doing a variety of things; we love to get out and visit events, sites, places and the outdoors. We love movies, walks, seasonal and outdoor activities and sports. We love music, especially our iPods. We enjoy life and getting out there, but also make the most of everyday moments - or just hanging out. We love traveling when we can. We are part of a large extended family that is so wonderful and supportive. We love them so much and we enjoy spending time with them. We also really enjoy spending time at home and the activities there. We love doing a variety of things, and are so excited for our future family and all our interests together.

Thank you again for allowing us to tell you about ourselves. Adoption is a great blessing to us. We feel a great love and gratitude for you as birthparents, and will always have you in our hearts. We would be so grateful and happy to meet you, work with your needs, and correspond through email. We feel our child was always meant to come this way and already feel a bond not only to our child, but also with those that made it possible. We know that you have a tremendous heart in considering adoption. We are very grateful that you have taken the time to consider our family. Again, we thank you for all you are doing and we want you to know that our home will be a loving, fun, and secure environment to raise a child.

Love,

Torben and Angela

Our Background Both of us were raised with wonderful parents, siblings, friends and extended family.
We love our families and are very close to them. We both enjoyed school and met each other during college. “How we met” from Angela: “Torben came over to my friends apartment (which I was hanging out at) to borrow something and I remember meeting him and saying ‘your name Torben is so interesting,’ and he told me that it is Danish and that he has Danish family. We started talking and he asked me out. We went with his friend and my friend on a double date to a fun Hollywood comedy show and then for hot chocolate.” We had so much fun dating, fell in love and were married in December of 1997. Thereafter, we graduated from a University - Angela with a Bachelor’s degree in Speech Pathology and Torben with Bachelor degrees in English and Political Science. Torben subsequently graduated from Law School with a Juris Doctorate degree in 2002. Torben has a wonderful career and has spent the last five years working as an attorney. Angela is a homemaker and actively involved in community and church service. We are best friends and still love doing anything together.

Our family and friends have done so much for us. We have also been fortunate to work with many individuals in our church callings and community. We belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We were married in the Salt Lake temple. We both served full time missions. Angela is currently the Young Women President, and loves the 12 to 18 year old girls she works with. She has served in the Young Women, Primary, and Relief Society. Torben is currently first counselor in the Bishopric and has worked with the Youth and Primary children and has served in leadership callings. All of these experiences have blessed us and helped us prepare to bring a child into our home

Background for Angela:
I am the oldest of seven children, five girls, and two boys. I love my family and friends, and they have taught me a lot. As a child I loved being creative and playing all sorts of things. I loved creating art and reading books. I was very involved in dancing, tap, ballet, and jazz. I enjoyed my childhood. I loved playing with my sisters and friends. I enjoyed piano, skiing, tennis and volleyball. In junior and senior high school I was involved in dance, drama and student leadership. I loved music (and still do) and listened to my pink boom box. I loved fashion and shopping (and still do). I enjoy learning and loved college, where I was involved socially and academically. My family means the world to me and has always been there for me. My mother is amazing and she has taught me so much. I have had so many wonderful friends and so much fun with them. I graduated from college with my Bachelor’s Degree in Speech Pathology and enjoyed using my education in working with elementary school children. I have always wanted to be a mother and these experiences have helped prepare me.

Background for Torben:
As a child, I loved to read and write – something I still do every chance I can get. Growing up with a house full of boys, we were always very active and involved. I especially loved playing all kinds of sports and spending time outdoors. I still am an avid sports fan, playing and participating in my favorites, particularly soccer. Since I was young, my favorite team has been the Arsenal soccer team from London, England and I enjoy following them even today. I was able to turn my love of sports into an actual high school job, working as a ball boy and locker room attendant for our local NBA professional basketball team. I also was the captain of my debate team, editor of school newspaper, and played on the football, tennis and track teams, and spent the summers as a counselor at a Boy Scout summer camp. All these experiences helped me be a successful college student, missionary in a foreign country, professional and, ultimately, a husband and future father.
