dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
I can’t imagine what you are experiencing, but please know how truly blessed and honored I feel knowing you are even considering allowing me to raise your baby. Your bringing life into this world is a gift I would never forget, and I would forever be indebted in my heart. Not having a child of my own is a pain I never thought I would experience, but I am overjoyed at the possibility of alleviating this void.
If chosen, I’m looking forward to sleepless nights rocking a baby. I can’t wait to teach a child how to tie their shoes and write their name. Making jello and decorating cookies with my mom, along with doing science projects and playing sports with my dad, were some of my fondest memories growing up, and these are activities I long to do with a child one day.
My parents taught me the value of hard work, a good education, helping those less fortunate, and always treating others the way you wish to be treated, and these are the ideals I would like to instill in a child. Please know I will do everything in my power to give your child the tools in life to be happy, successful, and kind from childhood through adulthood.
I would be honored to be a mother to your baby and to always let them know what an amazing person you are to have given me the most wonderful gift in the world.
With love and gratitude,
Kristen
About Me
I am a pediatric nurse anesthetist at a children’s hospital, and my entire life’s focus has been centered around children. Growing up, I babysat, taught swimming lessons, and was a camp counselor. Prior to going to anesthesia school, I was a pediatric and neonatal intensive care nurse. Recently, I coached my friend’s four-year-old’s soccer team, which was an absolute blast! I enjoy cooking, playing soccer and tennis, hiking, skiing, traveling to new places, and enjoying time with family and friends. Although I live in Texas, I go home to Louisiana regularly for football games and time with my family and friends. I have the sweetest chocolate Lab, Bailey, who loves children, and we both enjoy going on walks to the park nearby. I want nothing more than to share this with a child and support them to explore what they love.
My Home & Pets
I have an adorable three-bedroom, two-bath home with a swing on the front porch overlooking the front yard. I have a nice backyard, where I have a vegetable and herb garden. There’s a large park with a playground, sports fields, and a walking path just over a block from my house. Catching a child as they come down the slide, hearing baby giggles as I push them on the swing, flying a kite in the open field, and watching a child try to score a goal or run to first base are things I can’t wait to do. But before that, I just look forward to pushing your baby in a stroller while we walk with Bailey around the park.
My Extended Family
As far as families go, I hit the jackpot! I am so lucky to have such supportive and loving parents. I grew up in a large extended family, very close to my cousins, as though we were siblings. When I go home for football games, I always go with my parents, cousins, aunt, and uncle.
We all come together for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter and eat the best homemade dishes. Most of the recipes come from my grandmother, and we all participate in making a couple dishes. For Christmas and Easter, we have a bounce house for the kids; I always enjoy the opportunity to jump and play with them as well. For Easter, we have a large crawfish and crab boil as well as an Easter egg hunt for the kids.
In our family, it doesn’t matter if you are related by blood, marriage, or just really good friends; our entire extended family treats each other as if we are all immediate family members. My parents love to get on the floor and play with their great-nieces and nephews. My family is very excited about me adopting and can’t wait to grow the family and share our love.
What Led Us To Adoption
Several years ago I tried to harvest my eggs so that I could have a child when ready; unfortunately, I was unsuccessful. I have yet to meet the right man I want to spend my life with, but it is more important to me to have a child in my life to raise and love. I have several friends who have adopted and have been so grateful to have received the ultimate gift in life. I have watched these children grow in loving homes, and I would be so lucky if I could be the loving mother to your baby.

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!
