Recent Newborn Adoptions

Blakely Rose

Baby girl, Blakely Rose, was born on September 9, 2017, in Texas. Ryann and Aaron became proud new parents of this sweet angel. It was a story of great friendship and openness on both sides. They created a bond with birthmother Angela, attending doctor's appointments with her, and they were able to be in the delivery room with her. Congratulations from all of us at Angel on your new bundle of joy!

Congratulations Ryann & Aaron

Lorelai Gray

On September 9, 2017, new daddies, Brandon and John, welcomed their daughter, Lorelai Gray, into the world. Prior to her birth, Brandon and John spent two months getting to know their birthmother, Tyana, and took a weekend visit to meet her prior to delivery. We are grateful that Brandon and John were so open and loving towards Tyana, and cannot commend Tyana enough for choosing adoption! Congratulations to Brandon, John, and beautiful Lorelai.

Congratulations Brandon & John

Reed Jacob

Rich and Rob spent about a month getting to know birthmother, Antoinette, providing her with emotional support through her final month of pregnancy. They were able to visit her prior to delivery and everyone felt very positive about moving forward! Angel got the call that Antoinette delivered a healthy baby boy on August 31, 2017, but she decided she could no longer move forward with an adoption plan and chose to parent. As difficult as the decision was for Rob and Rich, they supported her. Just a week later, they received a call from Antoinette that she had changed her mind and was ready to move forward with the adoption plan. Rich and Rob flow to Pennsylvania on September 7, 2017, and officially became proud dads to Reed Jacob on September 11, 2017! Adoption requires patience, love, and understanding, even in the most difficult circumstances. We are forever thankful that Rich and Rob stuck by Antoinette and were able to welcome their son into their lives!

Congratulations Rich & Rob

Olivia James & Baby Boy M.

After several failed connections and a devastating failed placement, Anne and Jim were at the end of their adoption journey. Fortunately, the pieces came together at just the right time. A phone call about a baby girl born in Houston had them on a plane within 24 hours and heading one way into Hurricane Harvey. There they met their beautiful daughter, Olivia James, born on August 23, 2017. Much to their surprise, shortly after coming home with their daughter, a birthmother with whom they had previously been connected returned with consent to adopt a 19-month old boy! Within weeks, they were a family of four! Anne and Jim are a great example of the faith and determination it can take to become parents. We couldn't be happier for this family!

Congratulations Anne & Jim

Greyson Michael

After a heartbreaking failed adoption in July, Julie and Carlo were anxious for another connection and remained hopeful they would find the perfect birthmother for them. On August 24, 2017, birthmother Kari contacted Angel. She had delivered a baby boy in her home that morning. After settling in at the hospital, she decided an adoption plan was best for her and her baby. Julie and Carlo were quick to head to Maine and meet their son, Greyson Michael! After discharge, they were able to meet Kari and spend time with her before heading home. Out of love for Kari, Greyson's middle name is after Kari's Uncle Mike. Julie and Carlo waited 23 months for Greyson, and we are in love with this new family of three!

Congratulations Julie & Carlo

Dominick Samuel

Angel always prepares families that adoption may be a long process, but every so often, things happen much sooner than expected! Ricardo and Nancy signed with Angel the last week of June 2017, and planned to wait months for a connection. Much to their surprise, birthparents Samantha and Chris fell in love with their online profile the day after their son was born on August 18th. In what was a very emotional placement, Ricardo and Nancy met their son, Dominick Samuel, on August 25th. They were able to meet Samantha and provide her the reassurance that they would forever love and care for her son. Nancy and Ricardo showed so much love and grace towards Samantha, and we are forever grateful for this beautiful connection.

Congratulations Ricardo & Nancy

Jacob William

When birthmother Crystal first contacted Angel, she was confident in her adoption plan but requested to have no contact with the adoptive family. While it may have been a rare request, Chad and Jenny kept their faith in Angel and Crystal and chose to move forward with an adoption plan. Jacob William was born August 29, 2017, welcomed by his adoptive parents and new big brother. Congratulations to this new family, and thank you, Crystal, for putting your trust in us!

Congratulations Chad & Jenny

Kennedy Ader

Families born from adoption form a special kind of love. When Dena and Jackie first started forming a relationship with birthmother Veronica, they knew it was something special. Throughout Veronica's pregnancy, Jackie and Dena were loving and supportive of her, tackling difficult conversations, and were even able to learn the sex of the baby together. After finding out Veronica was having a girl, they spent time picking out names together. Jackie and Dena wanted to be sure they were able to be present for the birth, traveling a week early to North Carolina to spend time with Veronica and her family. Sweet baby girl, Kennedy Ader, was born August 19, 2017, surrounded by the love of her three mothers. Congratulations to Jackie and Dena on the birth of their daughter and a big thank you to Veronica for being so strong during the adoption process.

Congratulations Jackie & Dena

Hazel Grace

Congratulations to Drew and Christi on the birth of their daughter, Hazel Grace, born August 15, 2017. We are so grateful for their birthmother, Becky, for making such a selfless decision and trusting Drew, Christi, and Angel throughout the adoption process.

Congratulations Drew & Christi

Cannon Cal

In a quick turn of events, Jonathan and Tanya went from being parents of one son to parents to two! Jonathan and Tanya were fully prepared for a long adoption process, but after being presented for only one month, birthmother Kayla felt a connection with their profile and they started forming a relationship. Over the summer they were able to continue to get to know each other, and Jonathan and Tanya were there when their son, Cannon Cal, was born on August 9, 2017. Jonathan and Tanya adopted in five short months, but we are thankful they were prepared to move so quickly, and for Kayla for making the most selfless decision she could!

Congratulations Jonathan & Tanya

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
