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.
Ross and Cindy were connected with birthmother Samantha, who, in a twist of fate, lived very local to them. They were able to meet with her multiple times throughout her pregnancy and provide her with an emotional outlet throughout the adoption plan. Baby girl Brooklyn Grace was born December 20, 2016. What a wonderful way for this couple to celebrate their first holidays as a new family of three!
Nichole spent four months getting to know birthmother Alexis. Parts of their connection were rocky, but in the end, they were able to support each other through the process and we are so grateful for Nichole for remaining strong through everything. Tess Amelia was born December 20, 2016 - the perfect Christmas present for this new mom!
Jennifer and Efrain first made contact with birthparents Adrianna and Jose in February 2016, and spent months building a trusting relationship. When Adrianna delivered on August 25, 2016, Jennifer and Efrain were prepared for the adoption of their daughter. While Jose was supportive of the adoption, he was also supportive of Adrianna when she decided that adoption wasn't right for her and she parented. Jennifer and Efrain were devastated, but remained hopeful and asked Angel to start presenting their profile again. Much to everyone's surprise, Jennifer and Efrain received a call from Jose and Adrianna in November that they were no longer in a position to parent and that they wanted to move forward with the adoption! Jennifer and Efrain quickly headed to Illinois, and successfully adopted Emma when she was three months old! While the adoption journey was difficult for Jennifer and Efrain, we are so proud of them for staying positive and loving towards each opportunity. We are over the moon for this new family of three and unexpected phone calls that forever change lives.
Matt, Jess, and birthmother Miranda have a wonderful adoption story that makes our hearts flutter! Birthmother Miranda first contacted Angel, with the support of her parents, knowing that adoption was the best option for her unborn child. Miranda herself was adopted and knew she wanted to help a family the same way her's was helped. Jess and Matt were able to meet Miranda and her parents in October and attend a doctor's appointment with her as well. They had a wonderful visit and continued to build their relationship over the coming months. Jess and Matt headed to Texas at the end of November for Miranda's induction and their daughter, Lacey, was born on November 29, 2016. Thank you for Matt & Jess for being so welcoming and loving to Miranda and our sincere appreciation to Miranda for making this family's dreams come true.
Birthmother Keiara first contacted Angel only one month before her due date and had a whirlwind of a couple weeks before going into labor. Gina and David first spoke with Keiara in early November and traveled to Alabama the week of Thanksgiving when Keiara thought she was in labor. They were able to attend a doctor's appointment with her and returned the following week for the birth of their daughter! Nora Elayne was born December 6, 2016, to a family so in love with her already. David and Gina adopted in just 7 short months!

Jason and Dina spent the week before their daughter's arrival with the birthmother and her one-year-old daughter, getting to know them better. Jason and Dina were present in the delivery room when Hazel was born on December 9, 2016. Jason and Dina waited 18 months before the birth of their daughter, but know that every moment that passed was worth the wait.

After three failed adoptions, they were connected with Mary and were blessed with their son, Zachary. Zachary was born December 13, 2016. We cannot give enough credit to Jennifer and Brian for remaining hopeful throughout the adoption process.
When Karle found herself unexpectedly pregnant and in a position where she knew she wasn't ready to be a parent, she was instantly attracted to Kim and Adam's profile. Adam and Kim had countless phone conversations with Karle and visited her in late summer. Adam and Kim were not only wonderful and supportive with Karle, but also with the birthfather. Kim and Adam headed to Oklahoma days before Karle's c-section and were present for the birth of their son, Winston, on November 14, 2016. We cannot express how proud and thankful we are for Karle for helping make Adam and Kim's dreams of being parents come true.
Even after numerous connections and one heartbreaking failed adoption, Justin and Roberto kept their chins up, always welcoming of the next birthmother. When Daisy came their way, they were open with her and excited for her adoption plan. Scarlett was born November 13, 2016, and immediately met her two new daddies. We cannot thank Justin and Roberto enough for being so welcoming of Daisy and for loving Scarlett so much! Congratulations to these two brand new parents!
Ryan and Brooke knew that adoption would work for them, it was just a matter of time.

Ryan and Brooke were supportive of her throughout her pregnancy, and were able to find out with her that she was having a baby girl! Cora was born on November 7, 2016, to a family that had waited so patiently for the birthmother and child meant for them. Ryan and Brooke's adoption story is one that highlights to ups and downs of the process, but that it's always worth it! Many hugs sent your way, Booke, Ryan, and Cora!
Kathy and Lito waited a lifetime for their precious bundle of joy. When Kaitlyn first contacted Angel, she expressed that she wished for a closed adoption with minimal contact. Kathy and Lito put their trust in Kaitlyn and her adoption plan, speaking to her only a handful of times over the course of three months. Beautiful Nori Sofia was born on November 6, 2016, to a family that had been anticipating her arrival for months. Nori is so lucky to have not only two loving adoptive parents, but a loving birthmother as well. Nori is in for a lifetime of adventure with her wonderful new family!
Allison contacted Angel just days after her son was born, knowing that adoption was the best path for her. John and Carla were quick to jump in their car and head to North Carolina, where their newest family member awaited their arrival. Ethan Jace was born November 4, 2016, and met his adoptive parents November 8, 2016. Adoption can take months of waiting, but in the blink of an eye, change a family's life forever.

After 23 long months of waiting, Will and Jaime received the call of a lifetime that they were selected by a birthmother in active labor.

Less than 12 hours after Angel's initial phone call, Will and Jaime were headed to Connecticut to meet their new son. Isaac was born September 30, 2016, and met his new family shortly afterward! While the wait for Isaac was trying at times, happy new families are always worth it. Congratulations to this brand new family of three from all of us here at Angel!
