dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
I first want to say how amazing, brave, and special you are for considering adoption as an option for your child. I know it is not an easy decision to make. It is such a selfless decision to do what you feel is best for your baby and requires great strength. I am beyond blessed you are considering me as a potential parent for your child.
If you choose me, I will raise your child in an environment filled with encouragement, adventure, warmth, and love. I will raise them to believe they can do anything they put their mind to. They will have the opportunity to play sports, join the theater, take up an instrument, or anything else they would like to try. I imagine taking your child on many trips to the beach, walks in the sun, and trips to fun places with the hope of expanding their love for the world and the many beautiful places it has to offer. There will also be plenty of time for relaxing at home and making cookies, watching movies, or playing games.
I will love your child unconditionally, and I am excited to watch them grow, learn, and flourish. I will do everything in my power to help your child to lead the life of their dreams. I want to thank you again for your consideration and let you know I admire your strength and love through making this decision.
With love,
Bridgette
About Me
I work in social work with teens in group homes and residential treatment centers who are waiting for foster placements, adoptive homes, or behavioral rehabilitation services in order to return home. I wanted to work with kids who need help and need someone there to let them know they care and that they are important. I love my job and being able to help the kids I work with find placements where they can reach their full potential in a loving and nurturing environment. Having been a part of the process and making those connections for others, I want to be on the other end now where I can find my forever connection and become a mom. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my dog, Maya, and going on adventures. I love playing sports, hiking, spending time at the beach, and hanging out with my family.
My Home & Pets
I live in a two-bedroom condo with a large lanai with plenty of room to hang out and play. My complex is very family friendly and has a pool, a playground, a pond, and lots of grassy areas to spend the day outside with the families and neighborhood kids. I am within walking distance of the beach and parks my baby and I will spend time at. When we’re at home, we can spend time at the playground or with my dog, Maya, who loves children. She is handicapped but can get around well and is very sweet. If you choose me, your baby and I will take many walks with Maya to enjoy the nice Hawaiian weather and smell the flowers along the way.
My Extended Family
I am very close with my family, and my mom and sister live in Hawaii as well. We get together for beach days and dinners on our lanai. My grandma, brother, aunt, and uncle live on the mainland, and I talk with them at least once a week, if not more. When we can’t be together physically, we enjoy doing activities together over Skype, such as making cookies and playing games. They are all excited I’m beginning my adoption journey and can’t wait to meet the baby and welcome them into our family with open arms and hearts.
We always get together for the holidays, and one of my favorite traditions is going Christmas tree hunting together. On Christmas Eve, we hang out stockings, drive around to look at Christmas lights with hot chocolate, leave cookies out for Santa and of course carrots for the reindeer, and then watch Miracle on 34th Street before going to bed. We have fun dying eggs on Easter all together and hunting for eggs and chocolate bunnies. We enjoy going all out on decorating for every holiday, and I know your baby will love it!
What Led Me To Adoption
I have wanted to adopt since I was 12 years old. A family of a boy on my brother’s soccer team had just adopted a young girl and was telling me their story, and from that moment on, I knew I wanted to adopt. Growing up, I always told people I wanted to adopt a child when I was older. Now, years later, as I am ready for a child, my heart is still in the same place. I would love to have the opportunity to raise a child with love and encouragement so they can grow to be whoever and whatever they want to be.

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!
