dear expectant mother
It takes so much strength and courage to consider adoption. I admire that about you. Given the opportunity, I would feel very honored to be considered. It is probably the highest responsibility to choose someone to care for your child. If I am ever blessed in being chosen, I will not take that lightly, knowing that someone is giving me the most precious gift.
I am a very loyal person and feel like I’ve been searching my whole life for someone to give that loyalty to. I’ve come to realize that it’s none other but a child who deserves that degree of loyalty, love, and protection, and I cannot wait to have the opportunity to give it. Considering placing your child for adoption is a very selfless, courageous thing a mother can do. Someone with that character should be able to trust that their child is fully loved and protected, just as you wanted in making your decision. I hope that if I am chosen, you have all the confidence in your decision that your child is loved and exactly where he or she should be.
About Me
Hi! I’m Salena and am so happy you are reviewing my profile. Here is a little bit about me…. When I’m not working, I love being outside with my dogs. I also enjoy working out, specifically doing CrossFit. I love puzzles and board games and usually beat everyone in my family 🙂. I also love doing crafts with my nieces and nephews. Other than getting together with friends, I’m a homebody who enjoys cuddling up on the couch and watching movies. I’m very close to my mom and spend a lot of time with her. I have a great sense of humor, which I get from my dad, whom I absolutely loved. I love laughing and joking with my sisters, who are very close to me. I’m a lawyer, and since my dad died two years ago, I’ve taken over the family party rental business and cut down on my law practice. I really love running the family business because it gives me a lot of flexibility.
My Home & Pets
I live in the same neighborhood I grew up in. Actually, I live right down the street from my mom’s house, which is my childhood home. When my grandparents moved in with my parents so they could be cared for, I purchased their home, which is right down the street. I have very fond memories of growing up here as a child. We had a huge backyard and spent our days playing outside. That’s probably why I enjoy being outside with my two German shepherds and my three-legged chihuahua.
My Extended Family
I am the middle child of three girls. My sisters live in different cities but close enough to visit often. They are both married with children, whom I am very close to. In all, I have two nephews and three nieces ranging from nine to 30 years old. One of my nieces lives in my same town. I was 16 when she was born, which allowed us to have a very close relationship. My sisters usually come into town to get all the cousins together at least twice a year. They also come for either Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Christmas is my favorite time of year. When my family visits, it’s all about the food we are going to eat and the activities we are going to do with the kids. We are all very close. I also go visit one of my sisters, who is my best friend, about twice a year. It is within driving distance, so I am able to load up the dogs and go on road trips to visit my niece and nephew.
In town, I still have uncles, aunts, and cousins I grew up with. As kids, we spent a lot of time with our extended family, had many traditions, and made so many memories.
What Led Me To Adoption
I first looked into adoption about 15-20 years ago. I didn’t think it was the right time for me, so I put it on hold. I don’t want to put starting my own family on hold anymore and am so excited to go through this experience even knowing that it can be a long and difficult road. I know I can offer a child a very loving and loyal home and family and put someone’s mind at ease knowing their child is receiving so much love and care.

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!
