Recent Newborn Adoptions

Nolan Ryan

On January 5, 2017, Mark and Beth received the call of a lifetime - they'd been selected by a birthmother whose son was born that morning. They spent a quick couple days arranging travel and headed to Texas to meet their son, Nolan Ryan. Mark and Beth waited 22 months before adopting, but in a world full of unknowns, we are grateful they were ready to move forward immediately. We are so excited for this new family!

Congratulations Mark & Beth

Jaxon Ryan

Over the course of a six-month connection, Jessica and Joe provided endless support for birthmother Breonna, meeting with her throughout the pregnancy. Born on January 4, Jaxon Ryan was Angel's first baby of 2017. Congratulations to Joe and Jessica and their new bundle of joy!

Congratulations Joe & Jessica

Frankie Mikayla

After three failed adoptions in 2016, Jeff and Anna were ready for any situation thrown their way. In a quick turn of events, Jeff and Anna were selected by a birthmother due in just weeks! They were able to speak with her just a few times before they were headed to West Virginia to meet their daughter. Frankie Mikayla was born December 28, 2016, Angel's last baby born in 2016. Jeff and Anna took Frankie's name into careful consideration and gave her a middle name after both her birthparents, Kay and Mike. Touching stories like this warm our hearts and we are ever so thankful for adoptive parents and birthparents that are able to form such a special bond.

Congratulations Jeff & Anna

Cyler James

Birthmother Lisa contacted Angel when she was only two months pregnant. While she was hesitant about making an adoption plan, she put her faith and trust in Angel. She felt an instant connection with Anta and Shawn, and they welcomed her with open arms every opportunity they had to speak. They were supportive of her and her decisions throughout the process and were able to meet her a couple times and even treated her to an afternoon of pedicures! Cyler James was a Christmas baby, born December 24, 2016. We are over the moon for Shawn and Anta and their son Cyler!

Congratulations Anta & Shawn

Whitney Allison

Timothy and Christopher were in a bit of a unique situation where initially, they were only able to communicate with their birthmother through snail mail. They were so understanding of her situation and were able to open up and build a relationship with her. Just before Christmas, Timothy and Christopher were able to meet their birthmother in person, attended a doctor's appointment with her, and were there when she was induced two days later. Whitney Allison was born December 23, 2016, welcomed into the world by her two proud daddies. Congratulations to this new family of three!

Congratulations Timothy & Christopher

Lennox Blake

Through the ups and downs of the adoption process, Charlie and Keely always remained upbeat, putting their faith in what was meant to be would be. They first made contact with birthmother Crystal in October and were able to be a vital part of her pregnancy. Sweet girl Lennox Blake was born on December 20, 2016, and met her adoptive parents shortly after. We cannot thank Charlie and Keely for being so loving with Crystal and so positive during their adoption journey.

Congratulations Charlie & Keely

Brooklyn Grace

Ross and Cindy were connected with birthmother Samantha, who, in a twist of fate, lived very local to them. They were able to meet with her multiple times throughout her pregnancy and provide her with an emotional outlet throughout the adoption plan. Baby girl Brooklyn Grace was born December 20, 2016. What a wonderful way for this couple to celebrate their first holidays as a new family of three!

Congratulations Ross & Cindy

Tess Amelia

Nichole spent four months getting to know birthmother Alexis. Parts of their connection were rocky, but in the end, they were able to support each other through the process and we are so grateful for Nichole for remaining strong through everything. Tess Amelia was born December 20, 2016 - the perfect Christmas present for this new mom!

Congratulations Nichole

Emma

Jennifer and Efrain first made contact with birthparents Adrianna and Jose in February 2016, and spent months building a trusting relationship. When Adrianna delivered on August 25, 2016, Jennifer and Efrain were prepared for the adoption of their daughter. While Jose was supportive of the adoption, he was also supportive of Adrianna when she decided that adoption wasn't right for her and she parented. Jennifer and Efrain were devastated, but remained hopeful and asked Angel to start presenting their profile again. Much to everyone's surprise, Jennifer and Efrain received a call from Jose and Adrianna in November that they were no longer in a position to parent and that they wanted to move forward with the adoption! Jennifer and Efrain quickly headed to Illinois, and successfully adopted Emma when she was three months old! While the adoption journey was difficult for Jennifer and Efrain, we are so proud of them for staying positive and loving towards each opportunity. We are over the moon for this new family of three and unexpected phone calls that forever change lives.

Congratulations Jennifer & Efrain

Lacey

Matt, Jess, and birthmother Miranda have a wonderful adoption story that makes our hearts flutter! Birthmother Miranda first contacted Angel, with the support of her parents, knowing that adoption was the best option for her unborn child. Miranda herself was adopted and knew she wanted to help a family the same way her's was helped. Jess and Matt were able to meet Miranda and her parents in October and attend a doctor's appointment with her as well. They had a wonderful visit and continued to build their relationship over the coming months. Jess and Matt headed to Texas at the end of November for Miranda's induction and their daughter, Lacey, was born on November 29, 2016. Thank you for Matt & Jess for being so welcoming and loving to Miranda and our sincere appreciation to Miranda for making this family's dreams come true.

Congratulations Matt & Jess

Nora Elayne

Birthmother Keiara first contacted Angel only one month before her due date and had a whirlwind of a couple weeks before going into labor. Gina and David first spoke with Keiara in early November and traveled to Alabama the week of Thanksgiving when Keiara thought she was in labor. They were able to attend a doctor's appointment with her and returned the following week for the birth of their daughter! Nora Elayne was born December 6, 2016, to a family so in love with her already. David and Gina adopted in just 7 short months!

Congratulations David & Gina

Congratulations to Angie and Brad on their newest addition!

Congratulations Brad & Angie

Hazel

When birthmother Ashley first contact Angel, she and the birthfather were in agreement that adoption was best for their next baby. They immediately connected with Jason and Dina's profile and started communicating with them. Jason and Dina spent the week before their daughter's arrival with the birthmother and her one-year-old daughter, getting to know them better. Jason and Dina were present in the delivery room when Hazel was born on December 9, 2016. Jason and Dina waited 18 months before the birth of their daughter, but know that every moment that passed was worth the wait.

Congratulations Jason & Dina

Brynn Vienna

Brynn Vienna was born December 1, 2016! Congratulations to this brand new family of three and thank you to Jamie for being such a wonderful blessing!

Congratulations Jesse & Ashley

Zachary

Jennifer and Brian waited patiently, working with numerous birthmothers before being matched with the one meant for them. After three failed adoptions, they were connected with Mary and were blessed with their son, Zachary. Zachary was born December 13, 2016. We cannot give enough credit to Jennifer and Brian for remaining hopeful throughout the adoption process.

Congratulations Jennifer & Brian

Winston

When Karle found herself unexpectedly pregnant and in a position where she knew she wasn't ready to be a parent, she was instantly attracted to Kim and Adam's profile. Adam and Kim had countless phone conversations with Karle and visited her in late summer. Adam and Kim were not only wonderful and supportive with Karle, but also with the birthfather. Kim and Adam headed to Oklahoma days before Karle's c-section and were present for the birth of their son, Winston, on November 14, 2016. We cannot express how proud and thankful we are for Karle for helping make Adam and Kim's dreams of being parents come true.

Congratulations Adam & Kim

Scarlett

Even after numerous connections and one heartbreaking failed adoption, Justin and Roberto kept their chins up, always welcoming of the next birthmother. When Daisy came their way, they were open with her and excited for her adoption plan. Scarlett was born November 13, 2016, and immediately met her two new daddies. We cannot thank Justin and Roberto enough for being so welcoming of Daisy and for loving Scarlett so much! Congratulations to these two brand new parents!

Congratulations Justin & Roberto

Cora Nancy

Ryan and Brooke knew that adoption would work for them, it was just a matter of time. After four failed adoptions, they were connected with Ascha, a beautiful young woman that knew adoption was the right choice for her small family. Ryan and Brooke were supportive of her throughout her pregnancy, and were able to find out with her that she was having a baby girl! Cora was born on November 7, 2016, to a family that had waited so patiently for the birthmother and child meant for them. Ryan and Brooke's adoption story is one that highlights to ups and downs of the process, but that it's always worth it! Many hugs sent your way, Booke, Ryan, and Cora!

Congratulations Ryan & Brooke

Nori Sofia

Kathy and Lito waited a lifetime for their precious bundle of joy. When Kaitlyn first contacted Angel, she expressed that she wished for a closed adoption with minimal contact. Kathy and Lito put their trust in Kaitlyn and her adoption plan, speaking to her only a handful of times over the course of three months. Beautiful Nori Sofia was born on November 6, 2016, to a family that had been anticipating her arrival for months. Nori is so lucky to have not only two loving adoptive parents, but a loving birthmother as well. Nori is in for a lifetime of adventure with her wonderful new family!

Congratulations Lito & Kathy

Ethan Jace

Allison contacted Angel just days after her son was born, knowing that adoption was the best path for her. John and Carla were quick to jump in their car and head to North Carolina, where their newest family member awaited their arrival. Ethan Jace was born November 4, 2016, and met his adoptive parents November 8, 2016. Adoption can take months of waiting, but in the blink of an eye, change a family's life forever. Congratulations John and Carla!

Congratulations John & Carla

When La'Tiya texted to find out if adoption was still an option, even if her baby girl was already born, we assured her that we would love to help. She felt an instant connection to Eric and Samara and we were quick to set up the communication. Eric and Samara quickly headed to Florida to meet the newest member of their family, Toby McKenna, born October 16, 2016. Eric and Samara had a chance to meet and spend time with La'Tiya and the birthfather, even introducing their daughter to their new extended family. Beautiful stories like Samara and Eric's, regardless of how fast or slow they happen, warm our hearts. We are over the moon for this growing family!

Grace Maelyn

When Heather first contacted Angel in May, she knew exactly what she wanted out of an adoptive family for her child and she found it in Paul and Rebecca.

Paul and Rebecca were able to find out the sex of the baby with Heather and meet Heather's family multiple times, even hosting a combined family lunch with both sides! On October 5, 2016, Grace Maelyn was welcomed into the world surrounded by a loving biological and adoptive family. We cannot thank Paul and Rebecca enough for opening their arms to Heather through the difficult adoption process, and Heather for being so strong! Stories like Paul and Rebecca's show how deep the love in adoption can truly run. We are so proud of this new Angel family!

Congratulations Rebecca & Paul

Congratulations Clint & Emily

Isaac

After 23 long months of waiting, Will and Jaime received the call of a lifetime that they were selected by a birthmother in active labor. While it was initially believed that they would have at least 24 hours to get to know her, they were surprised to find out that she had actually already delivered a healthy baby boy! Less than 12 hours after Angel's initial phone call, Will and Jaime were headed to Connecticut to meet their new son. Isaac was born September 30, 2016, and met his new family shortly afterward! While the wait for Isaac was trying at times, happy new families are always worth it. Congratulations to this brand new family of three from all of us here at Angel!
