Baby BoyParker 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tyler David
It was a long and enduring road for Pamela and Jesse before signing on with Angel. They always remained hopeful and their excitement to become parents though, and that is what kept them going. After a quick two months, Pamela and Jesse got a last-minute call that would change everything. Their incredible birthmom made this brave choice to place with Pamela and Jesse last minute from the hospital. Their son, Tyler David, was born on July 6, 2018, and we cannot admire her enough for her strength in making Pamela and Jesse's dreams of parenthood come true. Congratulations to this sweet couple!
Congratulations Jesse & Pam

Emerson
We are so excited to announce that Tracy and Jason were blessed with a beautiful baby girl! Little Emerson came into their lives after just nine months of waiting. She was born on June 17, 2018, and was immediately welcomed into the world by her new parents. After finding their amazing birthmom on Facebook, Tracy and Jason developed a beautiful forever bond with this woman who made such a selfless and brave decision. The Angel family is so truly happy for this new family and we hope that they all have many amazing memories together!
Congratulations Tracy & Jason

Aaron
Already a mother to one boy, Alexis contacted Angel to explore her options for expanding her family. She began working with Angel in November, and just a few short months later, she was overjoyed to find that an expectant mother had chosen her. She and Alexis starting talking and texting almost daily throughout her pregnancy. The two formed a very honest and open relationship and met in person in May. On May 26th, Aaron was born and joined his mother Alexis and older brother. Angel could not be more thrilled!
Congratulations Alexis

Judah Asher
Rebecca and Mike started their journey with Angel in late January 2017. A year later, Rebecca and Mike began talking with their son’s birthmother. These adoptive parents were able to meet their son’s birthmom a month before she gave birth. On May 18th, Rebecca and Mike welcomed Judah Asher into the world and he was totally worth the wait! His middle name is in honor of his birthmother's first name and a testament to all of the love everyone involved has for this sweet little boy.
Congratulations Rebecca & Mike

Salem Joseph
It happened so quickly for this wonderful couple! Tim and Joe reached out to Angel Adoption in June 2017, in hopes of growing their family. In November 2017, they began talking with their son’s birthmother. They were fortunate to be able to build a relationship with her and then, thanks to flexibility with their jobs, were able travel to be with her in Michigan for the two weeks leading up to the delivery. Salem Joseph was welcomed into the world on May 15, 2018, with two happy dads by his side. Congratulations to Tim and Joe on your new love!
Congratulations Tim & Joe

Emmaline Love
Jessica and Steve returned to Angel after successfully adopting fraternal twins, having one biological daughter, and adopting a son. In terms of domestic infant adoption, they were basically pros and yet they felt their hearts had more than enough love for a fifth child. We are so grateful they sought our services to complete their dream family! In just four months, on April 10th, they were introduced to their youngest daughter, Emmaline Love. We couldn't be more excited for this wonderful family!
Congratulations Jessica & Steve

Guiliana Lavina
As an Illinois family, Chris and Angie had the opportunity to come into Angel's office, not just for their initial meeting with Angel, but also to meet with their Adoptive Parent Coordinator, Kieta. She cautioned them that while everyone hopes for a quick placement, it is not most families' reality...only to have them be one of those lucky families. They joined Angel in late July 2017, and their daughter Guiliana Lavina was born on March 20th. Chris and Angie happily traveled to California for their daughter's scheduled C-section. While they absolutely know Guiliana would have been worth years of waiting, they are unbelievably thrilled to have had their adoption dreams realized in just seven months. Congratulations, Chris, Angie, and Guiliana!
Congratulations Chris & Angie

Walker Ridge
While Brad and Micah had been through the adoption process before, their two adopted children, Brantley and Lillian, had been placed with them through foster care. Their work with Angel was brand new as they stepped into the different world of domestic infant adoption. Though they had one boy and one girl, they just knew their family wasn't done growing. They joined Angel in April of 2017, and began communicating with their son's birthmother in December - just about the greatest Christmas present they could have hoped for, especially since Christmas is Micah's favorite holiday. Walker Ridge was born in March and is settling in nicely as the youngest member of this beautiful family.
Congratulations Brad & Micah

Davis
On March 12, 2018, Korinne got the call she had been waiting for: an expectant mom was wanting to start talking with her. A few short months later, on June 12, 2018, her son, Davis, was born! Davis' amazing birthmother, who we were in touch with since December of 2017, made the brave decision to call Angel and set up an adoption plan for her son. We are so thankful for Davis' birthmother. Because of her selfless act, another family has had their dreams come true. Korinne adopted in a quick eight months!
Congratulations Korinne

Henry Robert
Shannon and Mike began working with Angel in July of 2017. Having been adopted herself, Shannon was excited to begin the adoption process. The couple remained positive and patient as they waited to connect with an expectant mother. In April, they received the news they had been waiting for by getting introduced to a wonderful birthmother who was due in just a few weeks. On May 14, Shannon and Mike welcomed Henry Robert into their family. Angel could not be more excited to watch their wonderful family blossom!
Congratulations Shannon & Mike

Ryan
Congratulations to Heather and Jeff on the birth of their son, Ryan! His birthmother contacted Angel about three months after Heather and Jeff joined began working with us. Ryan was born in the early hours of May 2nd and the adoptive parents couldn't be happier. We wish them a lifetime of happiness!
Congratulations Heather & Jeff
- Baby Girl
Faith
The word 'hope' took on a whole new meaning in Celeste and Naro's adoption journey. They started talking with their expectant mother within two weeks of their profile being approved. She thought she was due at the beginning of April (which was only a few weeks away!). They were shocked at the quick connection but ready to move forward with anything they needed to do. The expectant mother's due date quickly came and went and everyone started to wonder if the baby was ever going to come. Giving up on hope and faith was never an option for Celest and Naro. It wasn't until three weeks after her initial due date that the expectant mom welcomed a baby girl into this world. On April 24, 2018, Faith was born, and these new parents are so in love!
Congratulations Celeste & Naro
- Baby Girl
Perrie Angel
Tim and Jess radiated positivity throughout their entire journey at Angel. After just six short months, they started talking with their expectant mother and it was truly a perfect match! They were all from the same state and shared the same family values. Tim and Jess were able to meet with the expectant mother and her mother a few times before the birth of their daughter, Perrie Angel (a name they all decided on together). She was born on April 4, 2018, and was surrounded by the love of both her adoptive and birth families. Their relationship couldn't be stronger and they continue to send pictures and have plans to meet again this summer! A truly heartwarming connection.
Congratulations Tim & Jess

Kian
“Congratulations! You have been connected with an expectant mother!” This what Jennifer heard from her adoptive parent coordinator Kieta a week before her son’s birthmother was due! Jennifer began her journey with Angel Adoption in June 2016. After several opportunities that proved not to be the right one, she was ecstatic to start connecting with this expectant mother. Jennifer and the birthmother were overjoyed to welcome baby boy Kian into the world on March 22, 2018. Congratulations to Jennifer!
Congratulations Jennifer

Zalyn
Duran and Shunda were prepared to wait, but in less than three months they were not only connected with their son's birthmother, but also had their son in their arms! They did not expect for the journey to move so quickly, but it all happened ten days after their first conversation with their son's birthmother. With the guidance of their Adoptive Parent Coordinator, Sam, along with their Birthmother Coordinator, Sue, they were able to easily navigate the fast connection. Easter was extra special this year, as their son, Zalyn, made his appearance on April 1, 2018. The strong bond made between the adoptive parents and the birthmother in such a short amount of time was truly special!
Congratulations Duran & Shunda
- Baby Girl
Christina
Garrett and Sarah started off their adoption journey with a great sense of humor and a desire to bring as much joy to their journey as possible. After joining Angel in late July of 2017, they sent their profile materials in to their Adoptive Parent Coordinator in a brightly colored envelope with balloons and a bicycle (Adoptive Parent Coordinator, Kieta, actually has it hanging up in her office!). In late February 2018, they began talking with their daughter's birthmother all the way across the country in California, and they just knew immediately that God had answered their prayers. Christina was born at the end of March, making her parents happier than they ever could have imagined. Their Birthmother Coordinator, Sue, is so excited to have been part of their journey and we all can't wait to see updates of little Christina as she grows (maybe even riding her own bicycle!).
Congratulations Garrett & Sarah

Amelia Bernice
Adam & Gordon began their adoption journey in late 2016. Though they were advised that there are no guarantees in adoption, they just knew that all the love in their hearts was destined to be shared with their future child. After a few opportunities proved not to be the right one, they began texting and emailing with their daughter’s birthmother in February. Amelia Bernice was born on March 23rd and the instantaneous love they felt was unbelievable. In their joy of fatherhood, they have shared a bit of advice for other potential adoptive parents. “It’s a journey. You may connect with the right birthmother within weeks, or you may have connections that just don’t work out… but then there’s that One. The One you know is meant to be. Amelia is now approaching her three-month “birthday” and each day we look at her in amazement. She’s growing. She’s learning. She’s amazing. We have a daughter! Our journey was filled with some doubt, but more prayer. She’s here. She’s our world. Your changed world is coming. Trust in yourselves and the process.” We are so very excited for this family!
Congratulations Gordon & Adam
- Baby Girl
Garcia Sue
Tyler and Stacey welcomed their little girl, Garcia Sue, after patiently waiting 16 months. Their expectant mother came to them with just about two months left in her pregnancy and ended up delivering early. Tyler and Stacey met with their expectant mother before the birth and had an instant connection with each other. With the help of Samantha, their Birthmother Coordinator, and their Adoptive Parent Coordinator, Stephanie, all went smoothly for them. Her name Garcia means "by the grace of God," and Sue is a family middle name. Tyler and Stacey enjoyed Easter with their expectant mother and her family. They all have an amazing relationship!
Congratulations Tyler & Stacey

Asher Jude
After waiting patiently for nearly two years, an expectant mother reached out to Angel in January and started communicating with Matt and Shannon. In April they welcomed little Asher Jude into their family. Matt and Shannon were able to meet their expectant mother in the hospital. She is very sweet and funny, and she had a great support system behind her during her adoption plan. We are so excited for them all!
Congratulations Matt & Shannon
- Baby Boy
Wyatt Emerson
In February, Angel received a call from an expectant mother due in April. She had chosen Karl and Melissa and they instantly started communicating. They were in contact with each other almost every day and developed a great relationship and bond. Their expectant mother had a C-section, and Karl and Melissa were able to be there. She had a little boy and they named him Wyatt Emerson. Angel could not be happier for them!
Congratulations Karl & Melissa
- Baby Boy
William James
Steven and Christina started working with Angel Adoption in March 2016. As they approached the two-year mark, they started to get nervous about finding their first baby. Their prayers were finally answered in early February when they learned they had been chosen by an expectant mother in Colorado who was due at the end of March. The day before the birthmother's due date window, they got the next call of their lives — the baby was coming! There were no good flights to Colorado, so they drove instead, racing across the Midwest for 14 hours. In the middle of their drive, they learned the baby had arrived at 1 am that night and was healthy and perfect. Baby William James was cleared to leave Colorado a week earlier than expected and had his first cross-country road trip at just ten days old. The little family couldn't be happier! Their Birthmother Coordinator, Samantha, and their Adoptive Parent Coordinator, Kieta, were so excited to meet the whole family in person at Angel's 20 Year Reunion, where William was the youngest in attendance.
Congratulations Steven & Christina
