dear expectant mother
First, I want to thank you for giving this gift of life, not just to me, but also to the world. Know that you are first, and you are one with your child and me. There is no greater gift one could give. I know this could not have been an easy decision for you, and I know the choice did not come quickly and was not made in haste.
At this very moment, I am happy, elated, over-joyed, beaming, and proud, but most of all I feel centered and grounded. My blessings are great, because they have led me to you. I can only imagine what you must be feeling and thinking. I imagine you are scared, anxious, and wondering if you are making the right choice. I cannot imagine the heaviness of your heart or what it must be like for you to place a child, who has grown inside of you all of this time, into the arms of another. Without a doubt, you are making the biggest sacrifice. I want you to know I will forever consider you a sister: for your sacrifice, for your spirit, for your journey, for your heart.
I look forward to all that motherhood will teach me and all that it will make me. Thank you for considering this gift of love, and thank you for being you.
About Me
Born and raised with strong family and Christian values, I attend a non-denominational church near my home and I have many who are my extended family. My community is strong. I am an early childhood professional and have spent many years working with young children as a teacher, professor, and mentor. I spend my leisure time with close friends and family, and I enjoy traveling to other countries and have spent summers of the past in the Caribbean. I would love to travel to far off places like Amsterdam, the Greek Isles, and Paris. A few of my other interests include science-fiction, and I like watching comedy, crime, and drama shows, too.
My Home & Pets
I live in a friendly, family-oriented community filled with recreation areas for both adults and children. Most of what I need is within walking distance, including a mall, great restaurants, and two movie theaters. Excellently rated schools, both public and private, are also nearby. There are many opportunities for community collaborations and family-friendly activities, as well as parks and plenty of outdoor community activities, such as fairs, carnivals, wine-tasting, sports, and school festivals. There is always plenty to do!
My Extended Family
It is just my brother and I, with our mom and dad as the core of our family of four. My nephew is now ten years old, and he has become an all-around athlete, excelling at just about every sport. My father is the youngest of three brothers, and my mother is a surviving twin of six other siblings. I have many cousins, all different ages, some older, some younger, some my age, and many of whom are married and/or have children of their own. My goddaughter, at nine years old, is a smart, special young lady, who is an absolute joy to be around. Like my nephew, she too is a great student in school. I love being a part of all they do and learn.
My parents lead healthy, active lives. When I travel home for holidays and family activities, I get to see everyone in one place, and I enjoy cooking our favorite family recipes with Mom. Passing along traditions is very important in my family, and our next big family project is to all get together and bring all of our family photos to organize and date, so that each branch of our family tree is documented for our future generations.
What Led Me To Adoption
I always knew I wanted to be a mother. As I grew into adulthood and graduated from college, I knew I wanted a family of my own. I grew up in a very loving home and had a great childhood. I wanted to be a mom one day and give to my child all that was given to me and be able to surround him or her with the love that I had. Like many women, I put myself into my work, education, and career. Recently facing fertility issues, I still continue my work with children, families, and teaching as an adjunct professor. I am excited for the future and for this journey.

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!
