Lincoln Charles
Ryanne and Nathan came to Angel filled with a strong desire to grow their family through adoption. They were connected with their son's birthmother almost a year after they first joined Angel. Of course, this happened to also be the day they were scheduled to leave the country for a trip that had been planned for over a year! Luckily, they were able to get everything set up for the expectant mom before they left and then returned with plenty of time before the birth of their son, Lincoln Charles. They are looking forward to watching their older son be a big brother to baby Lincoln!
Congratulations Ryanne & Nathan

Evelyn Jean
With three months left in their contract with Angel Adoption, Thomas and Heather stayed hopeful that they would match with an expectant mother. In March 2018, their daughter’s birthmother reached out to them. Through some communication, the birthmother was able to finalize a plan with the family for adoption. Thomas and Heather were overjoyed! On June 1, 2018, Thomas and Heather arrived at the hospital to witness the birth of Evelyn Jean, also known as Evie. Welcoming Evie into their home was the “greatest gift" in their lives! Congratulations to Thomas and Heather!
Congratulations Thomas & Heather

Alanna
“We are at peace knowing that there is hope in that we can be the answer to your prayers, just as you may be the answer to our prayer.” These beautiful words were written by Michael and Natasha when they began their journey with Angel Adoption in October 2016. In April 2018, as they were nearing the end of their contract, a birthmother reached out to Michael and Natasha. Things moved very quickly from that point, and on May 25, their beautiful baby girl Alanna was born! Michael and Natasha’s prayers were answered and they could not be more happy! Congratulations to this beautiful, new family!
Congratulations Michael & Natasha

Daniel Kane
After one unsuccessful match with an expectant mother, Kimberly and Nicholas were chosen by an expectant mother who was already 39 weeks pregnant and three centimeters dilated! Kimberly and Nicholas were able to meet her in person before baby Daniel was born on August 18th, only six months into their contract with Angel. We are all so excited for them!
Congratulations Kimberly & Nicholas
- Baby Girl
Keagan Marie
Only seven months into their contract, Kim and Jeff began text messaging with an amazing expectant mother. She was admitted to the hospital, in labor, the very next day, and Kim and Jeff drove through the night to be there with her. Everyone developed an incredible bond in such a short period of time — only 24 hours! Baby Keagan Marie was born on August 1st, and everyone at Angel is so thrilled for them!
Congratulations Kim & Jeff
- Baby Boy
Deacon Matthew
Nearly two full years into their contract, Anna Mary and Matt developed a wonderful relationship with an expectant mother and were able to be present at the hospital for her Cesarean section. Baby Deacon was born on August 14th, and Anna Mary likened their experience to “a Hallmark movie!” We are so very excited for their family!
Congratulations Anna Mary & Matt
- Baby Boy
Easton Neil
Matt and Erin began communicating with an expectant mother just 5 months into their contract with Angel. As the expectant mother was already in her last trimester of pregnancy when she began communicating with Matt and Erin, things progressed quickly. Baby Easton was born on July 2, 2018, and everyone at Angel is so excited for them!
Congratulations Matt & Erin
- Baby Girl
Daniela
Borja and Cristina started their journey with Angel in November of 2017. Four months later, they began talking with their daughter’s birthmother. Borja and Cristina were able to meet her early into her pregnancy and built a very strong connection that continued for the next six months. On September 25th, Christina and Borja welcomed their daughter Daniela into the world and she was totally worth the wait! Congratulations to this very happy family!
Congratulations Borja & Cristina
- Baby Girl
Johanna Jean
Sara and Amir joined Angel in late January 2017. They had experience in the adoption world as they had adopted their first son three years earlier. Following the birth of their second son, they decided to join Angel to further grow their family. This couple had quite a journey as they spoke to two expectant mothers before being chosen by their daughter’s birthmother. Sara was able to meet with the birthmom about a week before she gave birth. They welcomed Johanna Jean on September 21, 2018, and couldn’t be happier for the addition to their family!
Congratulations Sara & Amir
- Baby Girl
Susanna Lillian
This happy couple signed up with Angel in the middle of May 2018. A few short months later they were connected with their daughter’s birthmother, with whom they never had contact. Baby Susanna made her surprise entrance into the world less than a month later on September 20, 2018. This couple put a lot of faith and trust into the adoption professionals that they worked with and respected their birthmother's privacy. They were able to meet her at the hospital when they met their daughter. Congratulations, Adam and Sallie, on your new bundle of joy!
Congratulations Adam & Sallie
- Baby Boy
Greyson
Brittany and Greg first connected with their son's birthmother just five short months after starting their journey with Angel. They formed a great relationship with her early on and were able to spend eight months getting to know one another. When the time came to learn the sex of the baby, they even drove out to visit her so they could find out together! Everyone was so excited to finally meet Greyson on August 23, 2018. Brittany and Greg are so grateful to their son's lovely birthmother for the gift of their son.
Congratulations Brittany & Greg
- Baby Boy
James Randall
We began talking with our son's birthmother in March, thirteen months into our time with Angel Adoption. She was the fourth expectant mother we matched with, and we communicated with her every day up until the birth. We were blessed to be in the delivery room supporting and coaching her when James Randall was born on August 18, 2018. We are overwhelmed with joy to have sweet baby James in our lives as well as a courageous and strong birthmom with an open adoption. The journey has been full of ups and downs, but the end result is the greatest gift of our lives and was well worth the wait! We are happy to have baby James in our home, hearts, and family.
Congratulations Doug & Christen
- Baby Boy
Alexander Shedd
Heather and Bonnie were ready for anything when they connected with their expectant mother nine months after signing on with Angel. They had never been through the process before and put a lot of faith and trust into making sure they did everything they could to be ready for the birth of their son. In only 17 days, Alexander Shedd was born on August 17, 2018. Heather and Bonnie had to spend an unexpected amount of time in California, by their son's side, watching him grow stronger. We were thrilled when they let us know they were on their way home to start a new lifetime of memories! Their Angel had finally arrived!
Congratulations Heather & Bonnie
- Baby Boy
Blaze Jonathan
Adoption was nothing new for Charlianne and Brian, as they adopted twice before joining the Angel family. They have an open relationship with their other children's birthmothers and have the utmost respect for any woman who is considering adoption. Within two months of signing on with us, their whole family took a trip to meet their son's birth parents. Charlianne and Brian thought the couple were wise beyond their years and felt an immediate connection with them. Just three short months after that, their son, Blaze Jonathan, made his appearance on August 16, 2018. The family couldn't be more grateful to Angel, their legal team, and the hospital for making sure their expectant mother was well taken care of through this entire process. Congratulations to this wonderful family!
Congratulations Charlianne & Brian
- Baby Girl
Addison Rosaley
Nathan and Sheena started their journey with Angel about a year and a half before getting chosen for the first time. During their wait, they remained so positive, truly believing that it would happen when it was meant to happen. For this family, first time was a charm! They began communicating with their daughter's birthmother and spent the months that followed getting to know her and letting her get to know them. Together, they came up with a plan for the birth and were able to be there to welcome their daughter, Addison Rosaley, into the world on July 16, 2018. They are so in love with their little princess!
Congratulations Nathan & Sheena
- Baby Boy
Jacob Oliver
Robert and LeAnne were actually chosen right after joining Angel! They were wonderful about jumping right in with both feet. Even though this connection did not work out, they were very supportive of that expectant mother's decision to parent. Moving forward, they had only a short month-long wait before being chosen again. They formed a great bond and were able to be present at the birth of their son, Jacob Oliver, who was born on July 6, 2018. They truly enjoyed each moment of their journey from getting to know their birthmother to becoming parents to sweet Jacob!
Congratulations Robert & LeAnne
- Baby Girl
Sierra Louise
Sean and Catherine first started this journey in March of 2016. Despite having a longer wait, they never lost hope and managed to stay positive through a failed connection. When their birthmother first communicated with them, it definitely felt like it was meant to be. Their daughter's birthmother was also very confident in her decision to place after speaking with them. Three short months later, Sierra Louise was born on July 6th, 2018. This family of three couldn't be happier!
Congratulations Sean & Catherine
- Baby Boy
Archer Edison
Seth and Ramona were chosen by their son's birthmother when she was midway through her pregnancy. They were very supportive and even took the opportunity to go and visit her and attend some of her doctor's appointments. When the time came, they were thrilled to finally meet their son, Archer Edison, who joined the family on the 4th of July! Archer wore sweet American Flag pajamas at the hospital. Congratulations to this beautiful family!
Congratulations Ramona & Seth

Liam Alexander
June might be the month for weddings, but for Richard and Diane, it held the culmination of a dream they'd been cherishing in their hearts for years. Summertime smiled upon them as they patiently waited, trusting that their miracle would find them at the right time. Their son's birthmother chose them just a few weeks before her due date, and on June 22nd, Liam Alexander became their answered prayer. Congratulations Richard, Diane, and Liam!
Congratulations Richard & Diane

Gabriella Ryanne
Congratulations to Stacey and Mandie! They joined Angel in 2017 and were chosen by an expectant mom just seven months later. This connection was not meant to be, but they were so incredibly understanding and gracious and decided to keep trusting the process. Little did they know, their little girl was just around the corner! They got the call just a few days later that they had been chosen again. Their daughter, Gabriella Ryanne, was born one month later on June 16th, 2018. They are loving being parents — congratulations!
Congratulations Stacey & Mandie
- Baby Boy
Kellan Gabriel
Shawn and AJ joined Angel Adoption in August of 2016. Having already experienced the adoption process once, they felt emotionally ready to start the journey again. Though the journey inevitably presented challenges, they trusted the process and waited patiently for their right birthmother to come along. Almost two years later, Shawn and AJ began talking with their future son’s birthmother. They soon discovered they were not the only ones supporting her; her own family also reassured her this was the right path to take. Kellan Gabriel, born on May 17, 2018, was their second miracle (lightning really can strike twice!) and Angel could not be any more happy for this growing family!
Congratulations Shawn & AJ
- Baby Boy
Parker Conrad
Chris and Brian started this journey full of hope and feeling so ready to grow their family. Throughout the process, they were very patient and didn't lose confidence when a connection didn't work out. Their positive attitudes paid off when they were chosen again and learned their expectant mom was due in just a month! When she actually delivered early, just three days later, they then sprang into action. They rushed to the hospital to meet their new son, Parker Conrad, who was born on May 8th, 2018. They are now a happy family of three!
Congratulations Brian & Chris

Maximus Gregor
Sometimes "the call" comes and you have months to prepare; sometimes you have only hours. Steve and Annie were chosen by their son's birthmother just a week before she delivered and they wasted no time getting to Utah. Though they had been through another opportunity that hadn't worked out, they were still hopeful that this would be the moment their lives would change. Maximus Gregor was born on May 4th (a day revered by Star Wars fans who like to say ("May the 4th be with you"). Steve and Annie know that whether it was the force, Divine timing, or just plain LOVE, their family was blessed beyond measure the moment little Maximus became a member.
Congratulations Steve & Annie
- Baby Boy
Carter Michael
Stephanie's journey to motherhood was full of waiting, hope, waiting, opportunities that proved not to be right, and — you guessed it — more waiting. As the end of her contract neared, Stephanie remained committed to doing whatever she needed to do to make her dream of becoming a mother come true. And then, at the end of April, she got a call telling her to head straight to Nebraska where her son was already born and waiting for her! Carter Michael was in the NICU and Stephanie had to spend a few weeks out of state waiting for ICPC to go through, but she wouldn't change a single second of it. Congratulations, Carter. Your mom is awesome (and so are you!).
Congratulations Stephanie
- Baby Girl
Avery Winter
Congratulations to Amy, who welcomed her daughter Avery Winter on April 17th. She began working with Angel in May of 2017, with the hopes of starting her family. In January, her Adoptive Parent Coordinator, Kieta, and Birthmother Coordinator, Samantha, were very excited to introduce Amy to her daughter's birthmother. We are so thrilled to help build families and admire Amy's desire to join the ranks of amazing single moms!
Congratulations Amy
- Baby Boy
Maximus Thomas
Ashleigh and Matt contacted Angel in hopes of beginning their family together. They enthusiastically awaited contact with an expectant mother and within eight months they were blessed with that opportunity! They felt an instant connection with their son's birthmother and communicated frequently. It was truly a match made in heaven. On March 30th, the couple welcomed their son Maximus Thomas. Congratulations Ashleigh & Matt! Angel could not be happier for your family!
Congratulations Ashleigh & Matt
- Baby Boy
Carter Joseph
Jennifer and Steve first came to Angel at the end of 2014. Their adoption journey got a bit derailed when they learned they would be moving to a whole different state! After getting settled in their brand new location, they were ready to once again pursue their dream of becoming parents. Despite a few missed connections along the way, their dream came true when their son's birthmother chose them in July of 2018. Carter was born just a month later on August 16th, 2018. Life has been busy as a family of three visiting with family, but Jen and Steve could not be more excited to learn and grow alongside their little man.
Congratulations Jennifer & Steve
- Baby Girl
Tiana Joy
Tkale and Brandon experienced all of the ups and downs the adoption journey can sometimes bring after talking previously with two other expectant mothers and enduring a failed adoption. As it turns out though, third time's the charm! They were able to meet with their daughter's birthmother a few months before she delivered and even got to attend a doctor's appointment. They were there for the birth of their daughter, Tiana Joy, on August 2, 2018. She was welcomed with open arms by her two new siblings. Congratulations to this wonderful family!
Congratulations Tkale & Brandon
- Baby Girl
Riley Nicole
Adoption had been close to Nici and Zach's hearts as they had adopted their daughter a few years before signing on with Angel. They started talking with their expectant mother in just nine short months. With the help of their community and an amazing team, they were able to help get her and her children into a safe, forever home. They were blessed with another daughter, Riley Nicole on July 30, 2018, and are forever grateful. We can't thank you enough for being a true example of how kindness and love can overcome any obstacle. Congratulations!
Congratulations Nici & Zach
- Baby Boy
Colten James
Chad and Danielle remained calm throughout the entire adoption process, even after learning their expectant mother's due date had gotten pushed up to two months earlier! They had planned to meet her for the first time the last weekend in July while still thinking they would have another month or so before the baby was born. Little did they know that their son, Colten James, was going to make his appearance that same weekend! He was born in the early hours on July 25, 2018. We are thrilled for them and grateful we got to be a part of their journey!
Congratulations Danielle & Chad
