dear expectant mother
Hello,
I just want to say you are truly a blessing to me. I can’t imagine what you are going through, but I have to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering me as an adoptive mom for your child.
As I sit here in my living room, I can see a child growing up well in this home. I look out to my patio, where I can see them playing with our dog or drawing with chalk on the concrete. I look over to the kitchen and see them helping me bake this week’s loaf of sourdough. They sit on the stool at the counter and are doing homework or drawing and telling me about their day as I cook dinner.
I won’t promise to be the perfect parent, because I don’t think that’s possible. But I do promise to love this child as my own and to do my best to raise them to be the best version of themselves, which includes making sure they have every opportunity to connect with their cultural heritage. It is a huge part of their identity, and I promise to help facilitate their growth and self-understanding. I know there are questions I won’t be able to answer, but I will make sure there are people in this child’s life who will be able to answer those questions I cannot. They will also learn that our differences are what make each of us special and that everyone is deserving of love and respect. So again, thank you for considering me as an adoptive mom for your child. It would truly be my honor and privilege to raise your child.

About Me
I work in the admin department of an agency that works with Medicaid clients. I focus on working with vendors, helping them provide services to our clients and making sure payments are processed. I’m in my mid-30s and am a single woman with two cats and a dog. I’ve been described by friends as kind, caring, and passionate, with a good sense of humor. I spend my free time reading, baking, crocheting, hiking, hanging out with friends, or just watching TV. I have weekly dinners with my friends and their kids, where I get to help my chosen nieces and nephew with homework and learning to cook. Family is very important to me, and I’m very grateful to be included in my friends’ family as an aunt to their kids. I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to be able to nurture and love a child of my own.
My Home & Pets
Four years ago, I was able to buy a two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo in a great neighborhood. It has an amazing patio and small garden area where I am excited to spend time with my child. I imagine us doing chalk art and teaching them to grow different plants. I have a dog named Phebe, who is an Aussie shepherd/spaniel mix with (according to my sister) a little bit of Ewok. She’s a rescue and is a super sweet, calm dog. I have two cats. Inara, the older of the two, is very curious. Rory is an orange tabby who is a bit shy around people but loves all animals and is best friends with Phebe.
My Extended Family
I have a large family that includes my parents, older brother, and younger sister. My mom has four sisters, and there are 13 cousins in all. Since we were little, all five families, plus my grandparents, would go on a long camping trip somewhere around the Northwest. Now that the aunts and uncles are older, we tend to rent a big house instead of camping, but many of us still get together each summer. My family is very excited for me to be adopting.
In addition to my biological family, I have a large family of friends in my town. We go hiking and camping together and have game and movie nights. We also frequently go to local events, such as our town’s summer food festival. I have become an aunt to my friends’ kids, and my friends can’t wait to be aunts and uncles to my child. Although I am a single mom, this child will grow up with the support of a large and loving community, with many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
What Led Me To Adoption
When I was 15, I found out I have a birth defect that prevents me from ever becoming pregnant. This was an extremely hard loss as I always imagined growing up and having kids. As I processed my loss, I came to a deeper understanding of what it means to be a mom. It’s about loving a child with all your heart while raising them to enjoy life and be good people, and I can still do all that through adoption. I have seen wonderful families created through adoption, including my cousin, who with her husband has welcomed three beautiful little boys into her family. I am so grateful to the birthmom’s out there who are willing to help people like me have a family.

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!
