Baby BoyOwen
Kyle and Emily did not have too much time to prepare for the arrival of their son, Owen. Their expectant mother reached out to Angel on March 5th and delivered a beautiful baby boy on the 23rd! Owen now has a big sister and brother and they are so excited he has been added to their family. It was exactly the right situation for them and we couldn't be happier for them. As you can see from their picture they couldn't be happier either. Congratulations!
Congratulations Kyle & Emily

Amias
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...unless you're an adorable little man named Amias. Then you go home with your deliriously happy new mommies, Becca and Tamara! After he was born, Becca and Tamara brought Amias back home to New Hampshire to explore all the beauty of New England while receiving all the love two overflowing hearts can give. Becca and Tamara joined Angel in late January of 2017, excited to begin their adoption journey. Though Amias' birthmother was not the first to choose them, they knew right away that Lady Luck was on their side the second time around. They are unbelievable grateful for the relationship they were able to form with Amias' birt mother and her family when they were in Nevada. The birth-grandparents brought them presents at the hospital, so grateful that their biological grandson was going to be so loved and cherished. The staff here at Angel were so happy to see these amazing women, who had such care and concern for the birthmothers they worked with, bring home their newborn son. Viva, Amias!
Congratulations Becca & Tamara

Isaiah
Joe and Katie waited 12 months for their little angel, Isaiah. Their expectant mother came to Angel a few months prior stating she was due in March, but she ended up having her baby in January. The expectant mother had decided to parent, but ultimately felt it was best if she placed him for adoption. Joe and Katie were so excited to get the news, Katie said it was all "whirlwind." They chose the name Isaiah due to its meaning of "God is my salvation." When we received the email with little Isaiah's photo, Katie and Joe said, "We love him so very much already! We have bonded and I think he has already learned my heartbeat...when I put him on my chest, he instantly calms down and snuggles right up. He is by far the best thing that has ever happened to us." We couldn't be happier for them. His picture says it all.
Congratulations Joe & Katie
- Baby Boy
Shane
Tim and Michelle welcomed little Shane on March 23rd in Oklahoma. They were talking with Shane's birthmother for about three months before the birth to get to know her better and develop a relationship. She was so amazing and caring and truly wanted to make a family's dream of having a baby a reality. Tim and Michelle's dream came true in 23 months. Congratulations!
Congratulations Tim & Michelle
- Baby Boy
Owen
When Jeff and Lacey adopted their daughter, Harper, from Angel, the wait was long, but they just knew in their hearts that if they were patient and "all-in" that their desire to grow their family would be answered. They came back to Angel again in March of last year (when Harper was just a little over a year old) with a similar devotion to making her a big sister. In late January of this year, they had the opportunity to speak with their son's birthmother and she went into labor at the end of March. In nine short months, Owen joined their family. Jeff and Lacey have maintained a good relationship with Owen's birthmother. She is a very strong and sweet woman. While their family of four has been through all of the beauty and trials that adoption has to offer, they wouldn't have it any other way. Their hearts are so full of gratitude for the choice Owen's birthmother made to allow him to join their family.
Congratulations Jeff & Lacey
- Baby Boy
Thomas Randall
After waiting 23 months, Bradley and Wynn received the call they had been waiting for. An expectant mother had chosen them and was due in March. They welcomed their little boy at the beginning of March and named him Thomas Randall. Everyone here at Angel couldn't be happier for them after they had waited so long. It just shows that what's meant to be will be and we all believe in miracles.
Congratulations Bradley & Wynn
- Baby Girl
Ava Grace
Every once in a while, a situation comes along that everyone involved knows is just meant to be. Tyler and Cadee felt this way about their relationship, having gotten married just seven months after their first date. And they had a similar feeling of serendipity as God led them on their path to their daughter, Ava. After joining Angel in May of 2017, they had their first conversation with Ava's birthmother in January 2018. Ava was born in early March and suddenly where God had brought together a family of two, it grew to three — all because two people fell in love and trusted God when He placed adoption in their hearts!
Congratulations Tyler & Cadee
- Baby Girl
Maya
Amy and Marc spent the last part of 2018 getting to know their daughter's birthmother and building a special connection. Amy and Marc were able to be there for the birth of their daughter, welcoming Maya into the world on January 18, 2018. We are grateful for the relationship that was formed between Amy, Marc, and Maya's birthmother. What a special gift Maya has been!
Congratulations Amy & Marc

Isabelle Rose
In August, we reached out to Wendy with a potential connection. Despite the many uncertainties involved, Wendy stayed positive and was ready to move forward. Much to everyone's surprise, Wendy's birthmother went into labor at only 35 weeks and delivered a precious baby girl. Wendy was able to get to her daughter quickly and met her just 48 hours after she was born. Isabella Rose - Ella for short - was born October 1, 2017, eager to meet the world! Wendy spent the month of October at the hospital, allowing Ella the time she needed to get stronger. When they were discharged on October 20, they were quick to head back to the Midwest and settle into life together! Congratulations to this happy family!
Congratulations Wendy

Alexander Oakley
Bobby and Korey were fully prepared for a long adoption process, but were blessed to connect with their son's birthparents after only eight months! They spent the final month of the pregnancy getting to know both birth parents and welcomed their son, Alexander Oakley, into the world on March 5, 2018. Although their connection was quick, Bobby and Korey were so caring toward their son's birthparents and their adoption plan. Congratulations to these two new daddies, Alexander is one lucky little guy!
Congratulations Bobby & Korey
- Baby Girl
Marlie Jean
Vera and Sheldon had very little time to prepare for the birth of their daughter, as she was born the same day that her birthmother contacted Angel! Originally planning to work with a local agency, their daughter's birthmom had an adoption plan in place, but due to the lack of responsiveness, she contacted Angel. Angel was quick to connect her with a family and Vera and Sheldon raced to Connecticut to meet their daughter. Marlie Jean was born February 24, 2018, and met her adoptive parents shortly after. Marlie's birthmother had placed for adoption in the past and while every pregnancy is different, we are grateful that she kept her heart open to this process a second time! Vera and Sheldon were nothing but wonderful with Marlie's birthmom and we are sending them all the love and happiness in the world!
Congratulations Vera & Sheldon

Fiona
While the wait for their daughter was long, it was worth it in the end! Robert and Tony started building a relationship with their daughter's birthmother in January, expecting to have until April to get to know her. Their daughter's birthmother ended up having an emergency delivery on February 24, 2018. The very next day, they met their daughter, Fiona! Going into the adoption process, Fiona's birthmother was leaning toward a closed adoption. After she saw the love and support Robert and Tony showed her, she decided she wanted to continue a relationship with them and Fiona in the future! Fiona is a lucky little girl to have the love of her birthmother and the love of her two dads. Congratulations!
Congratulations Robert & Tony

Anneliese
When Karen and Jonathan's birthmother first saw their profile, she was instantly drawn to them because of the love they had for their pets. She is a vet tech and loved that they had animals in their home. After spending a weekend texting back and forth, everyone felt this was the perfect connection. Karen and Jonathan were able to spend the week of Thanksgiving with their daughter's birthmother, getting to know her and supporting her through the final days of her pregnancy. Sweet baby girl Anneliese was born on November 30, 2017, surrounded by the love of her birthmother and adoptive parents. Congratulations to this new family of three!
Congratulations Karen & Jonathan

Royalty Elizabeth
Marianne was confident that the adoption process was the way she was meant to build her family. After connecting, Marianne and her daughter's birthmother spent the weeks leading up to delivery getting to know each other. They even discussed names for the baby together! Royalty Elizabeth, born February 19, 2018, lives up to her name by being Marianne's little princess. Congratulations to new mom, Marianne, who is not only wonderful to Royalty but was so supportive of Royalty's birthmother through the adoption process.
Congratulations Marianne
- Baby Girl
Riley Nicole
After some failed connections, Heather and Lesha remained positive, knowing that the timing had to be perfect. In December 2017, Heather and Lesha were selected by a couple that knew adoption was the best choice for their daughter. All four parents were able to spend the end of 2017 and early 2018 building a loving relationship that will forever benefit their daughter. Riley Nicole was born on February 19, 2018, and was able to spend her first days of life with both her birthparents and adoptive parents. For Heather and Lesha, the failed connections were a blessing in disguise because they led them straight to Riley and her birthparents, who are family now.
Congratulations Heather & Lesha
- Baby Girl
Preslee Rae
After connecting with their daughter's birthmother, Chris and Aimee remained in contact with her through the final trimester of her pregnancy. Chris and Aimee's daughter, Preslee Rae, was born February 15, 2018, and she is the light of their life. Congratulations to Chris and Aimee on their newest family member!
Congratulations Chris & Aimee

Emma Jean
Duane and Chanelle spent the better part of their daughter's birthmother's pregnancy getting to know her and her birthfather. They were able to visit with both birthparents in November 2017. Just before her scheduled C-section, they headed to Washington to spend some time together. Emma Jean was born on February 8, 2018, already loved by so many! Congratulations to Duane and Chanelle who adopted in six short months!
Congratulations Duane & Chanelle
- Baby Boy
Jaxon Michael
It's always special when both birthparents work together to create an adoption plan and that's exactly what Jaxon's story is like. Jaxon's birthparents contacted Angel in early 2018, considering adoption for their baby due in March. They started building a relationship with Lisa and Nicolai, assuming they had plenty of time before their son's arrival. Much to everyone's surprise, Jaxon's birthmother had an emergency delivery just days after their first contact! Jaxon was born January 15, 2018, and spent his first days getting stronger by the minute. Both of Jaxon's birthparents remained in contact with Lisa and Nicolai while they focused their attention on helping Jaxon grow. On February 7, Lisa and Nicolai made arrangements to head to Arizona and meet their son. It was love at first sight and they haven't looked back since! Lisa and Nicolai were gracious and loving towards Jaxon's birthparents, even when they weren't sure what the future may hold. Jaxon is blessed to have both his birthparents and adoptive parents that love him so dearly.
Congratulations Lisa & Nicolai

Braylon Cass Jay
When Travis & Jessa's son's birthmother first contacted Angel, she fell in love with their profile, but was prepared to speak with the family just then. Travis and Jessa trusted Angel to walk with her through the process. Thankfully, they did not have to wait long to meet her OR their son! Braylon was born January 30, 2018, and met his adoptive parents and big brother just days later. Braylon's middle name, Cass, is in honor of his strong and loving birthmother that both Travis and Jessa were able to meet just before discharge. Angel is forever thankful for the women that have the strength to create an adoption plan and the loving families that open their hearts to adoption!
Congratulations Travis & Jessa
- Baby Girl
Arabella Joy
For every successful adoption, there is a loving birthmother that made the courageous choice to contact Angel. Jenny and Jesse's daughter's birthmom contacted Angel just weeks before her due date, with the support of her sister. She felt an instant connection with Jenny and Jesse's profile. They started with a phone conversation one weekend and continued with text messages throughout the week. Jenny and Jesse were able to be in the delivery room when their daughter, Arabella (Bell) Joy, was born on January 24, 2018. Jenny, Jesse, and Bell spent their first days together with Bell's birthmother before introducing Bell to her big sister, who was also adopted! What a wonderful family story Jenny and Jesse have to share, to adopt not only once, but twice!
Congratulations Jenny & Jesse
- Baby Girl
Isabella June
Angela and Erik became first-time parents on January 20, 2018, when Isabella June was born! Angela and Erik first connected with their daughter's birthmother in November 2017, and made the cross-country trip just months later for Isabella's entrance into the world. Congratulations to this new family of three!
Congratulations Angela & Erik

Logan
After a successful first adoption with their daughter, Donna and Dawn returned to Angel to grow their family again. Through a few failed connections, they remained faithful and positive, and we are so thankful they did! In a quick turn of events, Donna and Dawn connected with their son's birthmother on a Friday afternoon and by the following Sunday, January 7, 2018, their baby boy Logan was born. They were quick to head to Florida to meet their son and embrace his birthmother. They started the weekend without a son and ended the weekend as a family of four! Angel is sending warm wishes and happy thoughts to these two mommies and Angel's newest big sister!
Congratulations Donna & Dawn
- Baby Boy
James Daniel
With no time to spare, Emily and Peter hopped on a plane from Missouri to California one Sunday afternoon to meet their newest addition, James Daniel! James was born January 6, 2018, and met Emily and Peter just days later. Emily and Peter adopted their older son from Angel three years ago, so they were prepared for the last-minute decision making that adoption sometimes requires. We want to send the biggest thank you to James' birthmom for choosing adoption and a huge congratulations to Emily and Peter for growing their family through adoption a second time!
Congratulations Emily & Peter
- Baby Girl
Emma
After a quick connection with their birthmother, Maria and Pierre welcomed their sweet baby girl, Emma, on January 5, 2018! They feel blessed to have her in their life. Congratulations to Pierre and Maria — we know that 2018 will be a magical year for your new family!
Congratulations Pierre & Maria
- Baby Girl
Taylor Nevaeh
No strangers to adoption, Jacob and Sulah returned to Angel for a second adoption four years after they adopted their daughter. Fully prepared for the wait time and the potential ups and downs, they were connected with their daughter's birthmother and adopted in 12 months! Sulah, Jacob, and their daughter's birthmother spent the latter part of 2017 getting to know each other. They were even able to visit her in early November and spend time with her and her kids. Sulah and Taylor's birthmother were able to spend ample time together the day Taylor was born, savoring those final moments together. Taylor Nevaeh was born December 29, 2017, Angel's last baby born in 2017! All of our best wishes to this new family of four as they head into 2018!
Congratulations Jacob & Sulah
- Baby Boy
Miles Tobias
After two failed connections in eight months, Toby and Lisa had every reason to feel discouraged about adoption, but they continued to push forward. As the saying goes, third time's the charm! In a quick, five-day whirlwind, Lisa and Toby first spoke with their son's birthmother and planned a visit with her, but before they could get to her, their son was born! Miles Tobias couldn't wait to meet everyone and came into the world on December 27, 2017. While the journey to Miles wasn't always easy, it was definitely worth it!
Congratulations Lisa & Toby
- Baby Girl
Hannah Isabelle
We truly believe that what's meant to be will always find a way. Shortly after their time with Angel had ended, an expectant mother contacted us fully in love with Michelle and David's profile that she had received when she originally contacted us months prior. Angel reached out to Michelle and David to explain the unique situation, and they were completely on board with building a relationship and seeing where this journey took them. Between a move, updating their home study, and getting to know their daughter's birthmother, it was a busy fall for Michelle and David! Sweet Hannah Isabelle was the most wonderful Christmas gift for Michelle and David, born December 22, 2017. We are grateful that Michelle and David remained so open-minded and to Hannah's birthmother for giving them the most special gift of all!
Congratulations Michelle & David
- Baby Girl
Vivian
Over a very quick month, Adrienne and Chadd built a relationship with their daughter's birthmother and welcomed their daughter, Vivian, into the world on December 22, 2017. Christmas 2017 will be one that Chadd and Adrienne will forever remember as the Christmas they grew to be a family of three, thanks to Vivian's strong and courageous birthmother.
Congratulations Chadd & Adrienne
- Baby Boy
Wesley Philip
Aubrey and Geoff were prepared for the long wait that adoption sometimes entails, but to their surprise, they found themselves working with an expectant mother after only six months. Their son's birthmother had originally contacted Angel in October, unsure of her adoption plan, and ultimately decided adoption was not right for her. Only a few weeks later, she contacted Angel to let us know she was prepared to move forward and loved Aubrey and Geoff's profile. Geoff was deployed at the time, so Aubrey spent a handful of weeks communicating with their son's birthmother and relaying the relationship back to him. Wesley Philip was born December 19, 2017, and met his adoptive mom just days later! It was a quick and emotional relationship, but what a wonderful time for Aubrey, Geoff, Wesley, and Wesley's birthmother!
Congratulations Geoff & Aubrey
- Baby Boy
Elliot James Bennett
When Corey and Rita's son's birthmother first saw their profile online, she felt an instant connection with their photos and knew they were the right family for her child. While their contact was minimal, their conversations remained positive and they were able to find out a bit about her life and her wishes for her child. Elliot James Bennett was born December 14, 2017, and met his adoptive parents just after his entrance into the world! It may have taken 20 months to meet their son, but every minute of waiting was worth it. Congratulations to Corey and Rita on the adoption of Elliot!
Congratulations Corey & Rita
