The Baileys
For the month of June, we are proud to introduce you to a very special family – The Bailey’s - Keith, Angela, Denise and Rodney.
Keith and Angela Bailey have lived in Paulding for the past six years. Keith is from Powder Springs and Angela is originally from Dothan, Alabama, but has been in Georgia for the past 15 years. Both Keith and Angela have lived all over Atlanta, until settling in Paulding when they married.
Keith and Angela were introduced to each other through mutual friends. This month they will celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KEITH AND ANGELA!!!!
When the Bailey’s decided to start a family, they began to talk about adoption. They checked into adopting a baby from several different areas, but sadly discovered the cost was way beyond their budget. One evening they were watching Fox 5 News - Wednesday’s Child. From this informative segment, they got the idea to foster-to-adopt a child.
In the Foster/Adopt program, Keith and Angela first had to see if they qualified. Of course, they were able to pass all the necessary qualifications. After only a couple of months, they received a call that they had a match! When Keith and Angela went into the office, the agent said, “We know you only wanted one child, but would you be willing to take a brother and sister?” “Of course!!!” they said without hesitation and before they knew it, they were welcoming home their precious children, Denise and Rodney.
In the last three years, the Bailey’s have created a beautiful bond as a family. They are very active and enjoy spending time at their lake house riding four wheelers, bikes and jumping on the trampoline. The children have both been active in gymnastics. Denise is currently taking electric guitar lessons and has also been involved in cheerleading and softball. Rodney enjoys playing baseball and basketball.
Angela is now a stay-at-home mom after being a Veterinary Technician for 20 years. Keith has been a lineman for Greystone Power for 13 years. This is the family they always wanted. Both Keith and Angela encourage anyone who wants to have children to consider what they did and give other children a chance to have a family of their own.
