dear expectant mother
Blessings to you, and thank you for taking the time to read my profile and to consider me as you make this incredible decision. I truly admire your courage, and I pray for your strength and your inner peace. I want to encourage you to trust that God will bring you to the right family for your life and baby. I have no idea the range of emotions you are experiencing, but my mother always told me that what comes from the heart reaches the heart. So I’d like to share with you what is on my heart. Especially after losing my mother, I struggled to feel hopeful and comforted. Prayer, meditation, words of encouragement, scriptures, and music helped to uplift my spirit then and even now.
These are some of the affirmations I read when navigating all the ups and downs of life, and I hope this is helpful for you as well:
You are beautifully and wonderfully made.
Your future is as bright as your faith.
Always remember you are braver than you think, stronger than you seem, and more loved than you know.
Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard days. Peace is to be in the midst of all of those things and still be calm in your heart.
Romans 8:28: “For we know that all things work together for the good of them that love God.”
About Me
Born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, I had a warm childhood with both of my parents and two older siblings. After high school, I earned a bachelor's degree in communications. In my career, I worked for a non-profit organization that focused on domestic violence support and a youth mentoring organization. Spending time with young people always uplifts me and keeps me feeling young! For seven years, I owned a company, and that was an amazing ride! I learned as much about life itself-sacrifice, faith, and perseverance-as I learned about running a business. I carry those lessons with me every day. I now work as a business consultant, and I love my job. I work from home and travel as needed, which helps me keep a nice work/life balance. I am a member of a sorority, and we do public service in different communities across the country.
My Home
I live in a diverse and family-friendly community in North Carolina with very nice neighbors who look out for each other. There are always kids outside riding bikes and playing at the nearby park. We have a highly rated public school system in my neighborhood. I’m blessed to have a beautiful home with plenty of space for a family. The kitchen is my favorite place in the house because I love to cook and bake!
My Extended Family
I have an older brother, a sister-in-law, and an older sister. I have five nieces and nephews, two godchildren, and many more cousins and extended relatives. We are a close-knit family. My parents were married for 34 years before my mom passed away in 2010. We stay closely connected to my dad, and we honor our mother’s memory by loving and supporting each other no matter what comes.
We call, text, and FaceTime weekly. Although we live in different cities, we make it a priority to spend time together, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas. Those have been our favorite family times for my entire childhood and adult life. We cook a lot of traditional foods for Thanksgiving, and we always have a beautifully decorated tree for Christmas. Over the years, we have rotated celebrating Christmas at each other’s houses, but we always have a great tree! Those holidays are our favorite times. We cook, eat, watch movies, listen to holiday music, and just enjoy being together.
What Led Me To Adoption
I understand the saying “It takes a village to raise a child.” I have been active with children through friends and family. Now I’m prepared to start a new village and to provide a child with a nurturing and stable home, unconditional love, strong education, and opportunities to see the world. After a surgery, I could not have biological children. I was not upset by this because I trusted that God had another plan. My entire family is supportive and ready to welcome a child into our lives through adoption. My aunt and uncle were adoptive parents, and I grew up close to my cousins. I’ve seen adoptions work well. I have an amazing network of friends who are ready to be new aunties and uncles!

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!
