dear expectant mother
I will start by saying you are incredibly brave for navigating this vast unknown. I do not know if you are alone or broken, but I know I can relate. There must be a roller coaster of emotions you are going through multiple times a day. Although I do not know your situation fully, know that my heart honors yours, and I will protect and love your treasure always.
I have much practice on how to build a family when there is none, how to be financially stable one step at a time, and how to preserve, protect, and keep safe what is most precious. I am excited to finally open this chapter of my life, where I am able to add to my family through adoption and embarking on this new unknown adventure. As I have learned with my daughter, motherhood is not easy, and every child is different. If you select me as your child’s adoptive parent, they will always know they are loved, they will always have support (especially emotionally), and I will always strive for them to be their best self throughout their life. I will guide them, clear their path when I can, and watch them grow and be their unique self.
This is not an easy decision to make, and you are a very strong person to be here. I honor your decision, whatever that may be. I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to consider me as an adoptive parent for your child.
About Me
Hello. My name is KJ. I am an inspirer, an intuitive empath, intelligent, a truth seeker, compassionate, driven, organized but fun, a health enthusiast, passionate with all I do, and an old soul with a big heart. Hobbies include gardening, playing soccer, coaching various sports for kids, singing, dancing, playing guitar, hiking, painting and crafts, and anything around water. My career is in information technology and security and specifically in risk management, governance, and compliance in security. I have worked in this space for approximately 15 years and enjoy the analytical, investigational, and mathematical side of it. I am a single mom with one seven-year-old. Daily activities encompass the joys of being a mom, taking her to school, doing homework and chores, finding time for play, and doing extracurricular activities on the weekends and/or other fun activities like art, swimming, movies, nature walks, and dancing or singing together, sometimes all at the same time.
My Home & Pets
My daughter and I live in a one-story home in a quiet neighborhood with great neighbors. We have four bedrooms and two bathrooms. I picked this area due to it being known for the wonderful school district and great teachers. We live near downtown with fun attractions available like holiday parades and live bands. We live near a farmers market, movie and comedy houses, and parks. We have a mini goldendoodle that is one year old. We adopted her for my daughter’s birthday, and she is an important part of our family. We are an all-female family living life together. We believe in being a team, being the best we can, always improving, accepting things where we can, and a little bit of magic.
My Extended Family
I have a big family that I worked very hard on establishing. My parents both have passed. I have a sister an hour away and extended family up north. Friends I have known for over 20 years are the godparents to my daughter. My best friend and family live nearby. We are part of many groups, churches, and sports where the friends are a support system and pose as family members.
We love all holidays but mostly Christmas. I always cook a feast, we open family presents on Xmas Eve, and we open Santa presents on Xmas Day. We both love costumes, dressing up, and being actresses, so Halloween is fun. My daughter and I love wearing matching outfits for all occasions, and she is a strong spirit, very smart, kind, with a big heart like her mom. So for Thanksgiving, we usually do some volunteer work for the local food bank or at church.
Sometimes we struggle with the ups and downs of life, but we are there for each other, are emotionally supportive, and always strive to build trust and respect. I had an abusive childhood, but after much soul searching, I have learned to get it right with my daughter. She has taught me love and is the light of my life.
What Led Me To Adoption
My story is similar to many others except perhaps one way. I struggled with infertility for years while being with someone who was emotionally unavailable for 12 years. It was a difficult phase of my life, but during this time, I had much time to reflect on the past and do some soul searching. I am stronger now on the other side of it. I originally wanted four children, but the time frame to have my own is gone. This is my attempt to have at least one more. My daughter and I believe we need just a little bit more magic to make our family complete. We both have so much more love to give, and we very much look forward to being able to give that to a new family member.

Choose a Family for
Your Baby With Confidence
As you browse our list of hopeful adoptive parents, you can feel confident in knowing that all of the adoptive families working with Angel Adoption are prepared to offer your baby a safe, stable, and loving environment along with a wealth of opportunities for a happy and fulfilling life.
Each adoptive parent has been thoroughly evaluated through a home study course conducted by a licensed agency. A completed home study means the family is emotionally, physically, and financially ready to adopt a baby.
The home study process includes assessments of each parent’s character, marital stability, financial situation, lifestyle, and medical history. The agency also runs background checks to verify there is no record of criminal activity or child abuse. In addition, a social worker will inspect the family’s home to ensure it is a safe environment for a child.
Furthermore, Angel Adoption requires each family to be educated on adopting and parenting. After a baby has been placed with the adoptive family, a social worker will continue to monitor and supervise the family. We go to great lengths to make sure all the families you have to choose from are going to be excellent parents for your baby!
