Baby GirlFaith
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

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

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

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

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

Owen
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

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

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

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

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

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
