We are so proud to have helped so many families achieve their dreams of parenthood over the last 20 years. Please join us in congratulating these new parents on their recent successful newborn adoptions.
Tkale and Brandon experienced all of the ups and downs the adoption journey can sometimes bring after talking previously with two other expectant mothers and enduring a failed adoption. As it turns out though, third time's the charm! They were able to meet with their daughter's birthmother a few months before she delivered and even got to attend a doctor's appointment. They were there for the birth of their daughter, Tiana Joy, on August 2, 2018. She was welcomed with open arms by her two new siblings. Congratulations to this wonderful family!
Adoption had been close to Nici and Zach's hearts as they had adopted their daughter a few years before signing on with Angel. They started talking with their expectant mother in just nine short months. With the help of their community and an amazing team, they were able to help get her and her children into a safe, forever home. They were blessed with another daughter, Riley Nicole on July 30, 2018, and are forever grateful. We can't thank you enough for being a true example of how kindness and love can overcome any obstacle. Congratulations!
Chad and Danielle remained calm throughout the entire adoption process, even after learning their expectant mother's due date had gotten pushed up to two months earlier! They had planned to meet her for the first time the last weekend in July while still thinking they would have another month or so before the baby was born. Little did they know that their son, Colten James, was going to make his appearance that same weekend! He was born in the early hours on July 25, 2018. We are thrilled for them and grateful we got to be a part of their journey!
It was a long and enduring road for Pamela and Jesse before signing on with Angel. They always remained hopeful and their excitement to become parents though, and that is what kept them going. After a quick two months, Pamela and Jesse got a last-minute call that would change everything. Their incredible birthmom made this brave choice to place with Pamela and Jesse last minute from the hospital. Their son, Tyler David, was born on July 6, 2018, and we cannot admire her enough for her strength in making Pamela and Jesse's dreams of parenthood come true. Congratulations to this sweet couple!
We are so excited to announce that Tracy and Jason were blessed with a beautiful baby girl! Little Emerson came into their lives after just nine months of waiting. She was born on June 17, 2018, and was immediately welcomed into the world by her new parents. After finding their amazing birthmom on Facebook, Tracy and Jason developed a beautiful forever bond with this woman who made such a selfless and brave decision. The Angel family is so truly happy for this new family and we hope that they all have many amazing memories together!
Already a mother to one boy, Alexis contacted Angel to explore her options for expanding her family. She began working with Angel in November, and just a few short months later, she was overjoyed to find that an expectant mother had chosen her. She and Alexis starting talking and texting almost daily throughout her pregnancy. The two formed a very honest and open relationship and met in person in May. On May 26th, Aaron was born and joined his mother Alexis and older brother. Angel could not be more thrilled!
Rebecca and Mike started their journey with Angel in late January 2017. A year later, Rebecca and Mike began talking with their son’s birthmother. These adoptive parents were able to meet their son’s birthmom a month before she gave birth. On May 18th, Rebecca and Mike welcomed Judah Asher into the world and he was totally worth the wait! His middle name is in honor of his birthmother's first name and a testament to all of the love everyone involved has for this sweet little boy.
It happened so quickly for this wonderful couple! Tim and Joe reached out to Angel Adoption in June 2017, in hopes of growing their family. In November 2017, they began talking with their son’s birthmother. They were fortunate to be able to build a relationship with her and then, thanks to flexibility with their jobs, were able travel to be with her in Michigan for the two weeks leading up to the delivery. Salem Joseph was welcomed into the world on May 15, 2018, with two happy dads by his side. Congratulations to Tim and Joe on your new love!
Jessica and Steve returned to Angel after successfully adopting fraternal twins, having one biological daughter, and adopting a son. In terms of domestic infant adoption, they were basically pros and yet they felt their hearts had more than enough love for a fifth child. We are so grateful they sought our services to complete their dream family! In just four months, on April 10th, they were introduced to their youngest daughter, Emmaline Love. We couldn't be more excited for this wonderful family!
As an Illinois family, Chris and Angie had the opportunity to come into Angel's office, not just for their initial meeting with Angel, but also to meet with their Adoptive Parent Coordinator, Kieta. She cautioned them that while everyone hopes for a quick placement, it is not most families' reality...only to have them be one of those lucky families. They joined Angel in late July 2017, and their daughter Guiliana Lavina was born on March 20th. Chris and Angie happily traveled to California for their daughter's scheduled C-section. While they absolutely know Guiliana would have been worth years of waiting, they are unbelievably thrilled to have had their adoption dreams realized in just seven months. Congratulations, Chris, Angie, and Guiliana!
While Brad and Micah had been through the adoption process before, their two adopted children, Brantley and Lillian, had been placed with them through foster care. Their work with Angel was brand new as they stepped into the different world of domestic infant adoption. Though they had one boy and one girl, they just knew their family wasn't done growing. They joined Angel in April of 2017, and began communicating with their son's birthmother in December - just about the greatest Christmas present they could have hoped for, especially since Christmas is Micah's favorite holiday. Walker Ridge was born in March and is settling in nicely as the youngest member of this beautiful family.
On March 12, 2018, Korinne got the call she had been waiting for: an expectant mom was wanting to start talking with her. A few short months later, on June 12, 2018, her son, Davis, was born! Davis' amazing birthmother, who we were in touch with since December of 2017, made the brave decision to call Angel and set up an adoption plan for her son. We are so thankful for Davis' birthmother. Because of her selfless act, another family has had their dreams come true. Korinne adopted in a quick eight months!
Shannon and Mike began working with Angel in July of 2017. Having been adopted herself, Shannon was excited to begin the adoption process. The couple remained positive and patient as they waited to connect with an expectant mother. In April, they received the news they had been waiting for by getting introduced to a wonderful birthmother who was due in just a few weeks. On May 14, Shannon and Mike welcomed Henry Robert into their family. Angel could not be more excited to watch their wonderful family blossom!
Congratulations to Heather and Jeff on the birth of their son, Ryan! His birthmother contacted Angel about three months after Heather and Jeff joined began working with us. Ryan was born in the early hours of May 2nd and the adoptive parents couldn't be happier. We wish them a lifetime of happiness!
The word 'hope' took on a whole new meaning in Celeste and Naro's adoption journey. They started talking with their expectant mother within two weeks of their profile being approved. She thought she was due at the beginning of April (which was only a few weeks away!). They were shocked at the quick connection but ready to move forward with anything they needed to do. The expectant mother's due date quickly came and went and everyone started to wonder if the baby was ever going to come. Giving up on hope and faith was never an option for Celest and Naro. It wasn't until three weeks after her initial due date that the expectant mom welcomed a baby girl into this world. On April 24, 2018, Faith was born, and these new parents are so in love!
Tim and Jess radiated positivity throughout their entire journey at Angel. After just six short months, they started talking with their expectant mother and it was truly a perfect match! They were all from the same state and shared the same family values. Tim and Jess were able to meet with the expectant mother and her mother a few times before the birth of their daughter, Perrie Angel (a name they all decided on together). She was born on April 4, 2018, and was surrounded by the love of both her adoptive and birth families. Their relationship couldn't be stronger and they continue to send pictures and have plans to meet again this summer! A truly heartwarming connection.
“Congratulations! You have been connected with an expectant mother!” This what Jennifer heard from her adoptive parent coordinator Kieta a week before her son’s birthmother was due! Jennifer began her journey with Angel Adoption in June 2016. After several opportunities that proved not to be the right one, she was ecstatic to start connecting with this expectant mother. Jennifer and the birthmother were overjoyed to welcome baby boy Kian into the world on March 22, 2018. Congratulations to Jennifer!
Duran and Shunda were prepared to wait, but in less than three months they were not only connected with their son's birthmother, but also had their son in their arms! They did not expect for the journey to move so quickly, but it all happened ten days after their first conversation with their son's birthmother. With the guidance of their Adoptive Parent Coordinator, Sam, along with their Birthmother Coordinator, Sue, they were able to easily navigate the fast connection. Easter was extra special this year, as their son, Zalyn, made his appearance on April 1, 2018. The strong bond made between the adoptive parents and the birthmother in such a short amount of time was truly special!
Garrett and Sarah started off their adoption journey with a great sense of humor and a desire to bring as much joy to their journey as possible. After joining Angel in late July of 2017, they sent their profile materials in to their Adoptive Parent Coordinator in a brightly colored envelope with balloons and a bicycle (Adoptive Parent Coordinator, Kieta, actually has it hanging up in her office!). In late February 2018, they began talking with their daughter's birthmother all the way across the country in California, and they just knew immediately that God had answered their prayers. Christina was born at the end of March, making her parents happier than they ever could have imagined. Their Birthmother Coordinator, Sue, is so excited to have been part of their journey and we all can't wait to see updates of little Christina as she grows (maybe even riding her own bicycle!).
Adam & Gordon began their adoption journey in late 2016. Though they were advised that there are no guarantees in adoption, they just knew that all the love in their hearts was destined to be shared with their future child. After a few opportunities proved not to be the right one, they began texting and emailing with their daughter’s birthmother in February. Amelia Bernice was born on March 23rd and the instantaneous love they felt was unbelievable. In their joy of fatherhood, they have shared a bit of advice for other potential adoptive parents. “It’s a journey. You may connect with the right birthmother within weeks, or you may have connections that just don’t work out… but then there’s that One. The One you know is meant to be. Amelia is now approaching her three-month “birthday” and each day we look at her in amazement. She’s growing. She’s learning. She’s amazing. We have a daughter! Our journey was filled with some doubt, but more prayer. She’s here. She’s our world. Your changed world is coming. Trust in yourselves and the process.” We are so very excited for this family!
Tyler and Stacey welcomed their little girl, Garcia Sue, after patiently waiting 16 months. Their expectant mother came to them with just about two months left in her pregnancy and ended up delivering early. Tyler and Stacey met with their expectant mother before the birth and had an instant connection with each other. With the help of Samantha, their Birthmother Coordinator, and their Adoptive Parent Coordinator, Stephanie, all went smoothly for them. Her name Garcia means "by the grace of God," and Sue is a family middle name. Tyler and Stacey enjoyed Easter with their expectant mother and her family. They all have an amazing relationship!
After waiting patiently for nearly two years, an expectant mother reached out to Angel in January and started communicating with Matt and Shannon. In April they welcomed little Asher Jude into their family. Matt and Shannon were able to meet their expectant mother in the hospital. She is very sweet and funny, and she had a great support system behind her during her adoption plan. We are so excited for them all!
In February, Angel received a call from an expectant mother due in April. She had chosen Karl and Melissa and they instantly started communicating. They were in contact with each other almost every day and developed a great relationship and bond. Their expectant mother had a C-section, and Karl and Melissa were able to be there. She had a little boy and they named him Wyatt Emerson. Angel could not be happier for them!
Steven and Christina started working with Angel Adoption in March 2016. As they approached the two-year mark, they started to get nervous about finding their first baby. Their prayers were finally answered in early February when they learned they had been chosen by an expectant mother in Colorado who was due at the end of March. The day before the birthmother's due date window, they got the next call of their lives — the baby was coming! There were no good flights to Colorado, so they drove instead, racing across the Midwest for 14 hours. In the middle of their drive, they learned the baby had arrived at 1 am that night and was healthy and perfect. Baby William James was cleared to leave Colorado a week earlier than expected and had his first cross-country road trip at just ten days old. The little family couldn't be happier! Their Birthmother Coordinator, Samantha, and their Adoptive Parent Coordinator, Kieta, were so excited to meet the whole family in person at Angel's 20 Year Reunion, where William was the youngest in attendance.
Kyle and Emily did not have too much time to prepare for the arrival of their son, Owen. Their expectant mother reached out to Angel on March 5th and delivered a beautiful baby boy on the 23rd! Owen now has a big sister and brother and they are so excited he has been added to their family. It was exactly the right situation for them and we couldn't be happier for them. As you can see from their picture they couldn't be happier either. Congratulations!
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...unless you're an adorable little man named Amias. Then you go home with your deliriously happy new mommies, Becca and Tamara! After he was born, Becca and Tamara brought Amias back home to New Hampshire to explore all the beauty of New England while receiving all the love two overflowing hearts can give. Becca and Tamara joined Angel in late January of 2017, excited to begin their adoption journey. Though Amias' birthmother was not the first to choose them, they knew right away that Lady Luck was on their side the second time around. They are unbelievable grateful for the relationship they were able to form with Amias' birt mother and her family when they were in Nevada. The birth-grandparents brought them presents at the hospital, so grateful that their biological grandson was going to be so loved and cherished. The staff here at Angel were so happy to see these amazing women, who had such care and concern for the birthmothers they worked with, bring home their newborn son. Viva, Amias!
Joe and Katie waited 12 months for their little angel, Isaiah. Their expectant mother came to Angel a few months prior stating she was due in March, but she ended up having her baby in January. The expectant mother had decided to parent, but ultimately felt it was best if she placed him for adoption. Joe and Katie were so excited to get the news, Katie said it was all "whirlwind." They chose the name Isaiah due to its meaning of "God is my salvation." When we received the email with little Isaiah's photo, Katie and Joe said, "We love him so very much already! We have bonded and I think he has already learned my heartbeat...when I put him on my chest, he instantly calms down and snuggles right up. He is by far the best thing that has ever happened to us." We couldn't be happier for them. His picture says it all.
Tim and Michelle welcomed little Shane on March 23rd in Oklahoma. They were talking with Shane's birthmother for about three months before the birth to get to know her better and develop a relationship. She was so amazing and caring and truly wanted to make a family's dream of having a baby a reality. Tim and Michelle's dream came true in 23 months. Congratulations!
When Jeff and Lacey adopted their daughter, Harper, from Angel, the wait was long, but they just knew in their hearts that if they were patient and "all-in" that their desire to grow their family would be answered. They came back to Angel again in March of last year (when Harper was just a little over a year old) with a similar devotion to making her a big sister. In late January of this year, they had the opportunity to speak with their son's birthmother and she went into labor at the end of March. In nine short months, Owen joined their family. Jeff and Lacey have maintained a good relationship with Owen's birthmother. She is a very strong and sweet woman. While their family of four has been through all of the beauty and trials that adoption has to offer, they wouldn't have it any other way. Their hearts are so full of gratitude for the choice Owen's birthmother made to allow him to join their family.
After waiting 23 months, Bradley and Wynn received the call they had been waiting for. An expectant mother had chosen them and was due in March. They welcomed their little boy at the beginning of March and named him Thomas Randall. Everyone here at Angel couldn't be happier for them after they had waited so long. It just shows that what's meant to be will be and we all believe in miracles.
