Recent Newborn Adoptions

Annemarie Jean

Nicole and James got a call from Angel Adoption that would turn their lives upside down. Just when they thought they were running out of hope, they were traveling up to Minnesota to meet their new bundle of joy, Annemarie Jean. Annemarie came into their lives on August 5, 2017, and she was the most beautiful thing they had ever laid their eyes on. They are over the moon in love! We are thankful for their birthmother, Donnella, who trusted the adoption process and found love in Nicole and James.

Congratulations Nicole & James

Isabella

After a heartbreaking failed adoption in the spring, Tom and Chrissy were ready to jump back into the adoption process. When Ashlee contacted Angel in late July, thinking she may be eight months pregnant, we knew exactly the family for her! Tom and Chrissy were 100% on board with a quick adoption involving minimal contact with Ashlee. Sweet Isabella was born August 5, 2017, only nine shorts days after Ashlee contacted us. Tom and Chrissy were instantly in love with Isabella and knew she was their missing puzzle piece. While the wait for Isabella was long and emotional, she was worth every minute!

Congratulations Tom & Chrissy

Naomi Sky

Having adopted from Angel the first time seven years ago, Matt and Jen knew to plan for a process that could take time. Much to their surprise, just five months after their profile was completed, they were chosen by a birthmother in a unique situation. Birthmother Madyline had been considering adoption for a year before she contacted Angel looking for a family for her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Naomi Sky. She instantly felt a connection to Matt and Jen, given their previous adoption experience. Matt and Jen first spoke with Madyline on the phone and then headed to New Mexico to meet Naomi and start the bonding and adoption process. Naomi was born to Madyline on October 6, 2014, and on July 28, 2017, Madyline made the brave and selfless decision to place Naomi with Jen and Matt. We are grateful for birthmothers that consider adoption, regardless of the age of their child, and thank you to Jen and Matt for opening their home to a beautiful little girl!

Congratulations Matt & Jen

Andreas Daniel

Kiersten and Angie first spoke with birthmother, Evelyn, on the phone. Then they were able to connect via video call and an in-person meeting. As their relationship continued to grow, Evelyn felt more and more confident in her adoption plan and in choosing Kiersten and Angela as the parents to her child. Andreas Daniel was born July 24, 2017, and was instantly loved by his new moms. Congratulations to Kiersten and Angie on their new bundle of joy!

Congratulations Kiersten & Angie

Rylen

Less than one month after a failed adoption, Angel contacted Jen and Matt about a sweet baby boy named Rylen, a four-month-old who was being placed for adoption. Despite their recent heartbreak, they remained open to the situation and met with birthmother, Tasha, and her son. After a weekend full of bonding and love, Jen, Matt, and Tasha all chose to move forward with an adoption plan for Rylen. Rylen was born March 13, 2017, but found his way into Matt and Jen's hearts on July 25, 2017. Congratulations to Matt and Jen on the adoption of Rylen, and thank you to Tasha for choosing adoption!

Congratulations Jen & Matt

Jennings Lee

Throughout Kristen's four-month connection with birthmother Ravyn, they were able to meet multiple times, only being hours away from each other. When they meet the weekend after for a doctor's appointment and ice cream, Ravyn was the one to give Kristen her first Mother's Day card. Kristen, her mom, and her sister were able to attend Ravyn's final doctor's appointment and welcomed Jennings Lee into the world on July 27, 2017! We love seeing families build healthy, supportive relationships that will forever be a part of a child's story! Congratulations, Kristen!

Congratulations Kristen

Harrison Maximilian

After seriously considering her adoption plan and reading through a number of profiles, birthmother Brooke felt a connection with Alison and Paul that she knew was right. Brooke, Alison, and Paul were all able to meet for a weekend, furthering their strong relationship. Harrison Maximilian was born July 26, 2017, surrounded by the love of his biological and adoptive families. We are so happy for our newest Angel family!

Congratulations Alison & Paul

Elizabeth Leandra

Val and Greg first spoke with birthmother Megan in May and spent two months building a loving foundation for her daughter. Val and Greg's plan was to arrive five days prior to Megan's due date so they could spend time with her prior to delivery. Much to their surprise, on their way to the airport, they got a call that Megan was in labor! Val arrived just six hours after their daughter was born and Greg arrived the next morning. Elizabeth Leandra was born July 24, 2017, into a world that was already in love with her. It's so important that adoptive families and birthmothers are on the same page throughout the adoption process, and we are thankful that Greg, Val, and Megan all loved Elizabeth so much to put her first!

Congratulations Val & Greg

Kallie

When Justin and Hayley signed with Angel in March of 2017, they were prepared for a 24-month wait, as we prepare all of our families for. Much to their surprise, at the end of June, a birthmother who was due in July fell in love with their online profile. While it was a quick one-week connection, they built a strong foundation with birthmother Katlyn and were able to spend time with her before she gave birth. Gorgeous baby girl, Kallie, was born July 21, 2017, and was able to spend time with all those that love her. From the entire Angel family, we wish this new family nothing but the best!

Congratulations Justin & Hayley

Theodore David

Being their second adoption, Joe and Melissa were no strangers to this process and knew that when the time was right, the perfect birthmother would connect with them. Birthmother Shelby contacted Angel in early June, requesting that we select a family for her. We knew that Joe and Melissa were perfect for Shelby. Their understanding of the adoption process and their willingness to jump in feet first is exactly what we needed. Shelby delivered a healthy, happy baby boy on July 20, 2017, that Joe and Melissa met shortly after. Theodore David was instantly loved by all, including his new big brother! Angel is so grateful for families that trust the adoption process and birthmothers that put their faith in our staff. Congratulations to Joe and Melissa on their growing family!

Congratulations Joe & Melissa

Noah Frederick

Josh and Sarah had only been signed with Angel for five short months before their profile was selected by birthmother Mayra. Over the course of three months, Josh, Sarah, and Mayra were able to build a supportive relationship leading up to delivery. Both adoptive parents were able to be present for the birth of their son, Noah Frederick, born July 19, 2017. We are all in awe of Mayra's strength through this process and her positive attitude. We are over the moon for this new family of three and know that this process would not have been possible without amazing women like Mayra!

Congratulations Sarah & Josh

Thomas William

After a tough start to the adoption process, birthmother Catie made a connection with Jennifer and Kelton and felt at ease with them immediately and for the remainder of her pregnancy. Kelton and Jennifer were quick to head to Kentucky to meet Catie prior to delivery and spent a wonderful weekend with her and her family. On July 14, 2017, Catie gave birth to a precious baby boy, and Kelton and Jennifer became parents to Thomas William. While their connection may have been short, it was nothing short of powerful.

Congratulations Kelton & Jennifer

Congratulations to Billy and Lisa on the birth of their son on July 12, 2017!

Congratulations Lisa & Billy

Eli Martin

When Dan and Lindsay first signed with Angel in 2013, they had no clue what their adoption journey would hold. After numerous failed connections, they were able to adopt their first child outside of Angel and placed their time with Angel on hold while they loved on their new bundle of joy. When they were ready to return to Angel at the end of 2016, they felt prepared to jump back into the unknown. The beginning of 2017 started with two more failed connections, but they still remained hopeful. When birthmother Nikkia contacted Angel in June, wavering on her adoption plan, we were supportive of her throughout the remainder of her pregnancy. Nikkia gave birth to a gorgeous baby boy on July 3, 2017, but didn't choose to move forward with an adoption plan until July 8. Our first call was to Lindsay and Dan to see if they would be interested in moving forward with Nikkia and her son and they immediately said yes. Dan and Lindsay met their son, Eli Martin, on July 19, 2017, and were instantly in love. While the road that led them to Eli was bumpy, we all know that when it's meant to be it will. We are grateful for Dan, Lindsay, and Nikkia for all putting baby Eli first!

Congratulations Dan & Lindsay

Olivia Joy

Adoptive families and birthmothers can find their way to each other in many different ways, and Angel is happy to assist in all types of adoption plans. When birth parents Melissa and Anthony began to consider adoption, Melissa's sister suggested a couple she knew named Steve and Faith who were adopting through Angel. Melissa reached out to let us know she was interested in getting to know Steve and Faith. As a result, Steve, Faith, Melissa, and Anthony spent six months walking through the adoption process together, including a weekend trip to Florida to meet Melissa and Anthony and attend a doctor's appointment together. Steve and Faith were able to be there when Melissa was induced and met their daughter, Olivia Joy, the minute she was born on June 7, 2017. Over the course of a six-month connection, these two families had a chance to form a very special bond that will forever be part of Olivia's story.

Congratulations Steve & Faith

Alexis Chyler

Having adopted her son with Angel in 2015, Heather is no stranger to adopting. Although every adoption story is different, Heather was prepared for the journey. Birthmother Lafiria first contacted Angel in October of 2016, during the beginning stages of her pregnancy. Through multiple follow-ups and family profiles, Lafiria felt Heather was the best mother for her child. Though their relationship was filled with ups and downs, Heather remained by Lafiria's side throughout her pregnancy. When Lafiria decided to parent, Heather left the lines of communication open, and baby girl Alexis Chyler was born on June 10, 2017. When Lafiria reached out to Heather in July of 2017 expressing her desire to move forward with the adoption plan, Heather quickly headed to North Carolina and met her daughter. Heather so graciously spent time with Alexis and Lafiria, allowing them the time to say good bye. Congratulations on a second Angel adoption and thank you to Lafiria for keeping your heart open to Heather throughout the process!

Congratulations Heather

Garrison Shane

Birthmother Jessica contacted Angel just 48 hours before her scheduled C-section, with the one request that the family be there for the birth. Angel's team moved quickly and was able to arrange for adoptive mom, Jessica, to be there for the birth of her son Garrison Shane on June 22, 2017. Although birthmother Jessica requested a closed adoption, she met with adoptive mom Jessica prior to delivery and allowed her to be in the delivery room and made sure that she was the first to hold him upon delivery. They were able to spend brief moments together the next day, forever leaving an imprint on everyone's hearts. We cannot send enough thanks to birthmom Jessica for opening her heart to adoption, and to adoptive mom, Jessica, for being so loving towards Garrison's birthmother.

Congratulations Jessica

Colette Summer

Birthmother Misha first contacted Angel in December 2016, but didn't move forward with a family until April 2017. We are grateful that Misha kept us in the back of her mind and we were able to connect her with the perfect family. Misha spent the final two months of her pregnancy getting to know Tim and Samantha, meeting them for lunch one weekend and even deciding on a baby name together. Tim and Samantha were able to be there for Misha's induction, welcoming their daughter Colette Summer into the world on June 21, 2017. From everyone here at Angel, we are over the moon for this new family!

Congratulations Tim & Samantha

Anna Marie

In a split second, Audra's life changed for the better. Angel received a call from a birthmother named Sarah on June 19, asking if we'd be able to help her through an adoption plan even if her daughter was born that morning. Sarah had already visited our website and had fallen in love with Audra's profile. Less than 24 hours after the birth, Audra headed to Texas to meet her daughter. Anna Marie was born June 19, 2017, and was able to meet her mom the very next day. Angel is grateful for birthmoms like Sarah that keep adoption as an option even at the last moment, and adoptive parents like Audra that are ready to have their lives changed overnight. Audra adopted in 11 months!

Congratulations Audra

Kendrick Julian

The best adoption stories are born out of love for both the unborn child and the birthmother. TJ and Pauline first connected with Mary in January and spent months supporting her throughout her pregnancy. They first met her in February for dinner, and then attended multiple doctor visits with her throughout the final trimester. They were able to celebrate Mary's birthday and really enjoy their time together prior to delivery. When it came time for Mary to deliver, TJ and Pauline were able to be in the delivery room with her, being the first to greet Kendrick Julian when he entered the world on June 17, 2017. Over the course of their 21-month journey with Angel, TJ and Pauline had multiple failed adoptions, but continued to keep their hearts open to adoption and were able to finally connect with their perfect birthmom.

Congratulations TJ & Pauline

Mason Thomas

Congratulations to Thomas and Theresa on the birth of their son, Mason Thomas, born May 25, 2017! Sending all our love to this new family!

Congratulations Thomas & Theresa

Zechariah Barry

While the birth of their son was stressful, we are thankful that April and Matt remained calm through their adoption journey. Birthmother Ranisha contacted Angel with a unique situation: her youngest child had been born at only 25 weeks, and she was expecting her latest pregnancy to follow the same path. Although not due until August, Ranisha gave birth to a baby boy on May 25, 2017. April and Matt were quick to head to Nebraska, where they met their son, Zechariah Barry. Throughout Zechariah's time in the NICU, he was surrounded by the love and support of April and Matt, who never left his side. April and Matt finally received the go ahead to return back home to Alabama, on July 19, 2017, and they sang "Sweet Home Alabama" all the way home. Thank you to Ranisha, who was 100% confident in her adoption plan, and to April and Matt for sticking with Ranisha, Angel, and most importantly, Zechariah!

Congratulations April & Matt

Elijah Jaren

Birthmother Shatell first reached out to Angel in November 2016 but didn't move forward with a family or adoption plan until March 2017. Robyn and Jaren were able to build a strong relationship with Shatell, even FaceTiming with her during the doctor's appointment that revealed the baby's gender. Robyn and Jaren met their son, Elijah Jaren, shortly after he was born on May 31, 2017. Congratulations to this new Angel family!

Congratulations Robyn & Jaren

Marlee Rose

On April 4, 2017, Stephanie and Ryan first heard from Angel that their profile had been selected by a birthmother named Kassandra. Much to their surprise, they were headed to Michigan only six days later after their daughter was born! Marlee Rose was born April 12, 2017, and met her adoptive parents shortly after. Stephanie and Ryan were able to spend time with their birthmom and their daughter in the hospital and named Marlee together. Marlee was Kassandra's first choice name and Stephanie and Ryan chose Rose as her middle name. Marlee is a lucky little girl to be loved by so many!

Congratulations Stephanie & Ryan

Evelyn Ann

Oftentimes, the adoption process is full of unknowns and what ifs. When baby girl Evelyn Ann was born a full month early, adoptive fathers Kory and Jordan were up for the challenge. Though they spent a full month in the NICU, their communication with their birthmother remained positive and their love for their daughter only continued to grow. Evelyn Ann graced the world on April 28, 2017, and finally got to go home with her daddies on May 30, 2017. With a smile like hers, we know that Evelyn is going to light up every room she walks into!

Congratulations Kory & Jordan

Benjamin Oliver

In a whirlwind of a couple days, Hope and Kevin had no idea what to expect from their short and quick connection with Whitney. Located only hours away from Whitney, they were able to be there just after the birth of their son, Benjamin Oliver, born May 28, 2017. Families that are prepared for adoption at a moment's notice make the process that much easier. Wishing nothing but the best to this new family!

Congratulations Hope & Kevin

Sawyer Tuff

Angel assists birthmothers of all different sorts of backgrounds and loves when families are supportive through the adoption process. Birthmother Ashton first contacted Angel in October 2016, but took until January 2017, and the support of her mom to proceed with the adoption process. Both Ashton and her mom felt a connection to Nick and Niki and were able to get to know each other through the remainder of her pregnancy. Baby boy, Sawyer Tuff, was born May 16, 2017, sharing his birthday with another Angel baby! We are over the moon for new parents, Nick and Niki!

Congratulations Nick & Niki

Maya Bethany

When Leila first adopted from Angel in 2011, she was confident it wouldn't be her last adoption. Through multiple failed connections, Leila remained faithful that adoption was meant to bless her family again. While her connection with Fatuma was filled with ups and downs, Leila was always available for her and supportive throughout the pregnancy. Baby girl, Maya Bethany, was born May 16, 2017, and Leila was able to be there for Fatuma's induction. We are ever so grateful for returning Angel families and the love that they provide to birthmothers and their adopted children.

Congratulations Leila

Elliott Michael & Elyssa Amanda

What could be better than one baby? TWO babies! Congratulations to Jayne and Rich on the birth of their twins, Elliott Michael and Elyssa Amanda, born May 25, 2017. Jayne and Rich lived only hours from birthmother Philshonjra, and Jayne was able to be at the doctor's appointment when they found out Philshonjra was having twins! Jayne and Rich were also able to be there for the scheduled C-section of the twins, meeting them right away. We are over the moon excited for Jayne, Rich, and their growing family! Thank you to Philshonjra for trusting Angel throughout the adoption process and being such a positive light to a hopeful family.

Congratulations Jayne & Rich

Abigail Lillian

Birthmother Leah admitted she was considering adoption for months prior to contacting Angel in early May. She was aware that her due date was right around the corner, but as soon as she read through Staci and Jeremy's profile, she felt at ease with her decision to move forward with adoption. Just 24 hours after first texting with Jeremy and Staci, Leah went into labor. Lucky for Staci and Jeremy, Leah was only hours away from them! Sweet baby girl Abigail Lillian was born May 13, 2017, and was able to spend her first hours in the world surrounded by the love of her birthmom and adoptive parents. From all of us here at Angel, we wish Jeremy, Staci, and Abigail nothing but love and happiness!

Congratulations Staci & Jeremy
