Recent Newborn Adoptions

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bex Randal Isaac

Through the ups and downs of adoption and one failed connection, Serina and Jace remained hopeful that adoption was the best path for growing their family. They first spoke with their son's birthmother in the Fall of 2017, and spent the remainder of the year walking through her pregnancy together. Bex Randal Isaac was born December 7, 2017, and instantly loved by Serina and Jace. While their adoption journey wasn't always smooth, we are thankful they kept their hearts open to adoption and their son's birthmother! Congratulations to this new family of three.

Congratulations Serina & Jace

Kyrie Jade

Oftentimes it takes just one phone call for life to change. This was the case for Jason and Heidi. Angel reached out to Jason and Heidi on December 7, 2017, letting them know a baby girl had been born that morning in Ohio, and if they were open to the last-minute, cross-country travel, their daughter was waiting! Their daughter's birthmother had been in and out of contact with Angel previously, but ultimately contacted us about the adoption from the hospital. Heidi and Jason were quick to get things in order and headed to Ohio to meet their daughter. Kyrie Jade was born December 7, 2017, and met her adoptive parents just a day later. The timeline for adoption can be unpredictable, from mothers that contact after delivery to families whose lives change in an instant. We are forever thankful to Kyrie's birthmother for choosing adoption and are over the moon for Jason and Heidi and their new bundle of joy!

Congratulations Jason & Heidi

Clyde

While their time with Angel was only a short nine months, we loved helping Chase and Constanza throughout their adoption journey. Chase and Constanza first connected with their son's birthmother in August 2017, communicating through text messages. In August, they made the trip to Arizona to meet her in person and were able to attend an ultrasound appointment with her. Just days before her due date, they flew to Arizona once more to spend the final days of her pregnancy together. Clyde was born December 4, 2017, happy and healthy as could be! What a wonderful way for Chase and Constanza to end their 2017!

Congratulations Chase & Constanza

Beau

Mayra and Brian had very little time to spend getting to know their son's birthmother before she delivered on November 30, 2017! Baby Beau met his adoptive parents shortly after birth. We are forever thankful to Beau's birthmother for considering an adoption plan. Congratulations to Mayra and Brian and their growing family!

Congratulations Mayra & Brian

Marissa Ann

Through six failed adoptions, Kelly and Charles continued to remain hopeful that the adoption process would work for them when the time was right. Kelly and Charles' world turned upside down when we presented them with a baby girl, who was born on November 27, 2017, and waiting to meet her adoptive parents! They were quick to move forward and were able to meet their daughter, Marissa Ann, on November 28, just one day after she was born. Kelly was able to meet Marissa's birthmother and express her gratitude for choosing adoption. Everyone's adoption path is different and through all the ups and downs, we are forever thankful that Kelly and Charles continued to stay positive! Congratulations!

Congratulations Kelly & Charles

Abigail Rose

While the waiting period was not always easy, it was all worth it for this sweet baby girl. Jon and Liz first spoke with their daughter's birthmother only weeks before she delivered. They were quick to head to St. Louis in mid-November when they found our their daughter was born. Abigail Rose was born on November 14, 2017, and met her parents shortly after! Jon and Liz spent Thanksgiving with their daughter in her birth state, loving on their newest blessing. Congratulations to Jon, Liz, and baby Abigail!

Congratulations Jon & Liz

Aspen Irelan James

Mike and Katie's son's birthmother first contacted Angel in March 2017, but she took until the end of the summer to consider an adoption plan. When she reconnected with Angel in July, she chose Katie and Mike as her first preference in families. Katie and Mike were able to spend time with their birthmother over the course of her final trimester, helping her through finding an apartment and getting settled. Sweet baby boy, Aspen Irelan James, was born November 18, 2017, exactly four months after his adoptive parents and birthmother first communicated. Through their 17-month wait, they remained faithful that the right connection was out there and we are thankful for Aspen's birthmother for choosing adoption!

Congratulations Mike & Katie

Bernadette Lorraine

Stephanie and Albert's daughter's birthmother first contacted Angel in August. She chose Stephanie and Albert for her daughter and connected with them on October 5th. They kept in touch, talking and texting. Exactly five weeks later, Bernadette Lorraine was born on November 9th! Stephanie, her son, and mother flew down to Florida and met Bernadette and the birth parents at the hospital. Stephanie spent hours talking with the birthparents and it was a wonderful experience. Stephanie and Albert were 22 months into their 24-month contract and were beginning to think adoption would not happen for them. We are grateful that Stephanie and Albert kept their faith in Angel and that Bernadette's birthparents were able to give them the most wonderful gift!

Congratulations Albert & Stephanie

Congratulations to Kymberly on the adoption of her son, born October 19, 2017!

Congratulations Kymberly

Blake Lee

In the rare instance that a birthmother requests a closed adoption, Angel will always respect her wishes. This was the case for Chris and Danielle's birthmother. Chris and Danielle put their faith and trust in both Angel and their social workers, knowing that their son's birthmother was responsive to those around her and her adoption plan. Baby boy, Blake Lee, was born on September 2, 2017, happy and healthy as could be. We are thankful to those women that make the brave and courageous decision to create an adoption plan for their children. What a blessing Blake has been to Chris and Danielle.

Congratulations Chris & Danielle

Tobias

Derek and Aaron signed with Angel in April 2017, prepared for the long wait adoption often entails. In June 2017, Angel contacted them to let them know their profile had been selected by an expectant mother due in October. Derek and Aaron spent the better part of the summer getting to know her, and on October 11, 2017, Tobias was born! Derek and Aaron were able to meet Tobias' birthmother and her family at the hospital and spent some precious time together. While their time with Angel was short, we are blessed to have been able to watch Derek and Aaron become new dads!

Congratulations Derek & Aaron

Harrison William

Sarah and Steven's son's birthmother first contacted Angel in April 2017, confident of her adoption plan, but unsure of where to start. Angel was able to remain in contact with her, providing her the guidance she needed and helped her connect with Sarah and Steven in July. Sarah and Steven were able to spend a couple months getting to know their son's birthmother and were able to be there for her C-section, meeting their son Harrison William on October 9, 2017! Over the course of 14 months, Steven and Sarah kept their faith in Angel and that the right birthmother was out there for them! Congratulations to this new family of three.

Congratulations Steven & Sarah

Adhara Vida

Lisa and Stacy first communicated with their daughter's birthmother in early August, aware that the days were numbered before she delivered. They quickly built a very loving and trusting relationship, text messaging regularly. Adhara Vida was born October 1, 2017, and met her adoptive moms the very next day! Stacy and Lisa were able to spend their time with both Adhara and her birthmom and met for lunch before heading home. We admire the love that Adhara's adoption is formed around and cannot give enough credit to all three of her moms for always putting her first.

Congratulations Lisa & Stacy

Nora Elizabeth

John and Emily had the opportunity to not only build a relationship with their daughter's birthmom, but also her birthdad! Over the course of four months, John and Emily got to know both birthparents and were able to provide support to one other throughout the waiting period. Baby girl, Nora Elizabeth, was born October 1, 2017, and instantly loved by both her birthparents and adoptive parents. We cannot commend Nora's birthparents enough for creating an adoption plan for her and are thankful for John and Emily and their loving hearts.

Congratulations John & Emily

Bella Grace

Congratulations to Tracy on the adoption of her beautiful daughter! Tracy is one strong mama who never gave up on the search for her baby girl. She finally brought her daughter home in July of 2017, after a grueling rollercoaster ride of failed adoptions and broken hearts. Thankfully, Tracy never gave up on us and we never gave up the search. She was introduced to her daughter's birthmom in June and spent almost two months in contact, being as supportive as possible when things got tough. Knowing that baby Bella is now in Tracy's arms reminds us why we fight for adoption no matter how discouraged we get or impossible it seems. Tracy knew in her heart she was meant to be a mother, and we knew Bella was meant to be hers. It's never easy to imagine the pain and suffering our waiting families and birth families go through during their adoption journeys. The sacrifices that are made to bring so much joy and love are undeniable. We know Tracy experienced all of this firsthand and we know there's no better home for Bella. We will never forget the gift that Bella's birthmother gave to Tracy, and we will never forget the unconditional commitment Tracy gave to the process. Thank you and congratulations, again, to Tracy and Bella!

Congratulations Tracy

Alexis Maya

Charity and Rob spent the latter part of the summer in contact with their daughter's birthmother, providing her the emotional support she needed. Sweet Alexis Maya was born September 27, 2017! Congratulations to Charity and Rob on the birth of their daughter. We are grateful for her strong birthmother for considering an adoption plan!

Congratulations Charity & Rob

Rosalie

Although birthmother Christina selected their profile, Sarah and Mitchell had a unique connection with her in that had very minimal contact. They were able to put their trust in the attorneys who worked diligently to be sure Christina's needs were being met and that Sarah and Mitchell felt included in the process. Sweet Rosalie was born September 1, 2017, and met Sarah and Mitchell shortly after! They were able to share photos of themselves with Rosalie through the attorney and Christina was pleased to see how clearly in love with Rosalie they were. There is nothing more beautiful than a new Angel family!

Congratulations Sarah & Mitchell

Micah Charles

After a few attempts at emailing back and forth, Matt and Tracy were finally able to connect with birthmother Charly via text message. They spent the first half of the summer getting to know her. After a quick weekend visit in July, everyone was feeling great about the relationship! Tracy and Matt were able to be with Charly when she was induced and met their son, Micah Charles, who was born September 18, 2017. They spent the entire time with Charly in the hospital and never allowed her to feel alone during this process. We are sending so much love to Angel's newest family!

Congratulations Matt & Tracy

Tessa Marie Ayana

Angela's life turned upside down in a matter of 18 short days. She found out on September 1, 2017, that she had been selected by birthmother Erica and started text messaging with her. By September 18, 2017, Angela's daughter, Tessa Marie Ayana, was born! Angela was able to be in the delivery room with Erica, who was quick to introduce Angela to the hospital staff as Tessa's adoptive mother. While the relationship was fast, it was a blessing to see the bond that Angela and Erica formed so quickly. Congratulations to all!

Congratulations Angela

Hannah Jean

After birthmother Mia spoke with Melissa and Jon, everyone decided the next best step was a visit. Melissa and Jon made the trip to sunny California and met with Mia and her sister. Although it was an emotional visit, everyone felt very positive. They spent the next month in regular contact with Mia and made their second trip to California for Mia's induction, but not before enjoying dinner together the night before. Sweet baby girl, Hannah Jean, was born September 11, 2017, and met her adoptive parents immediately! Melissa and Jon were nothing but wonderful with Mia, and we are so appreciative of the bond that they formed.

Congratulations Melissa & Jonathan
