dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Parent,
While I may not understand the range of emotions you may be experiencing right now, I want you to know that your courage, strength, and selflessness are not unnoticed. I know this is a unique and deeply personal journey, and I want to assure you that I approach it with the utmost respect for your feelings and wishes.
I am writing to you with an open heart, a genuine desire to create a loving home, and an unwavering commitment to providing your child with the best life possible. My daughter was conceived through IUI with a semi-open donor, so I know the importance of having an open and honest relationship with a child about their parents. Just as I have done with my daughter, I will make sure your child grows up knowing about their heritage and the journey that led to their life.
Your child will be welcomed into a home filled with love, laughter, and endless opportunities for growth. Your child will be embraced not only by me but also by their new big sister, our family, and our friends—a circle of warmth and support surrounding them. Thank you for considering me to be a part of your journey. I look forward to getting to know you better and learning about your hopes and dreams for your child.
With love,
Ashley
About Me
Hello! My name is Ashley. I have a strong connection to those I love. I am caring, empathetic, and always ready to lend a helping hand and offer a shoulder to lean on. I know that this is why I chose a career in public health. In my career, I am able to improve and safeguard the wellness of my community, state and country. I work remotely and this gives me flexibility to be present for my daughter, Madison. She and I share a love for reading, traveling, swimming, and gathering with family and friends. We are tremendously blessed. I pray to be a blessing to you by welcoming your child to share these special moments with us. I feel honored that you wanted to know more about me. I look forward to learning about you.
My Home & Pets
My family and I live in Louisiana. Our neighborhood is quiet and family friendly. It has a stocked lake for fishing, walking trails, a large park with a playground, and a pool. We have a one-year-old puppy named Milo Daisy. She is very playful. She loves cuddles, undisturbed naps and speaking to the neighbors when we take her for walks. Outside of the neighborhood, there are stores and restaurants within walking distance. There is also a farmer’s market held every Saturday morning where we go to get fresh fruits and vegetables. What I love most about our community are the schools. For the past 15 years, our school district has earned the distinction of being #1 in the state.
My Extended Family
My extended family circle is made out of love, laughter, and unwavering support. It consists of my Mom, whom I live with, my younger sister, and my Dad. My sister and I share a bond that goes beyond being siblings. I pray my daughter, Madison, and her sibling will be as close as we are. My family circle grows when I include my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Most of them live nearby and I am extremely thankful for this. It has allowed my family to make countless memories together. It has also allowed them to be there in every possible way to support Madison and I. My family circle would not be complete without my friends. Over the years, my amazing group of friends has become a part of my family. They enrich my life with love, support, and laughter. My circle of family is a vibrant, diverse, and loving village that will embrace your child.
My family and friends get together for just about anything: birthdays, holidays, celebrations, football games, crawfish boils, festivals, or simply to hang out. We also travel together. Our favorite trip thus far has been to Paris, France.
What Led Me To Adoption
As a teenager, my doctor warned me I might never be able to get pregnant. However, after years of planning, treatments, and surgeries, I had a daughter. Even though I can no longer biologically have children, my heart overflows with a love that I long to share. Adoption is the perfect way to welcome another child into my loving home and to build a beautiful family. When my best friend chose a family for her daughter, I was blessed with a deeper understanding of the journey to adoption. I learned that adoption is a heartfelt commitment to being a blessing to someone else’s child. The resilience and joy witnessed in others’ adoption stories fuel my enthusiasm to provide a loving home to another child.

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!
