Q&A with Megan

• What do you do at Angel?

  I am a birthmother coordinator. I walk alongside expectant mothers and support them as they navigate their adoption journey.

• When did you join the Angel team?

  I happily joined the team in March 2021!

• What motivates you to get up and go to work?

  I am greatly motivated by my passion for helping others. I love being a part of something bigger and knowing that I am making an impact every day.

• What is your favorite inspirational, motivational, or positive-thinking quote?

  Positive anything is better than negative nothing.

• What's your personal connection to adoption?

  I do not have a direct connection to adoption. I love being able to work with diverse groups of people and help be a part of an exciting journey! I have previous social services background and enjoyed being able to connect the pieces together and to advocate!

• What advice do you have for our waiting families?

  To trust the process and know that the baby that was destined to be a part of your family will be presented when it is meant to be!

• When are you happiest?

  I am happiest when I am traveling. I love new adventures and being able to explore new places.

• What is your favorite family tradition?

  Every year, the second weekend of December, my family has a cookie baking day! It is a big deal in our family and has sometimes turned into family members spending the night and being a two day event. We typically make a ton of cookies for Christmas Eve and to send off to other friends and family.

• What are you passionate about?

  I am very passionate about dog adoption as well! My family adopts English Bulldogs and they are just the best!

• What was something that happened to you that you thought was bad but it turned out to be for the best?

  Transferring colleges. I felt as though I was giving up on my current situation but in reality was just making a change that was going to be for the best! And it was!

• What’s your most memorable facepalm moment?

  There is probably a new one every week but you have to learn to laugh at yourself often.

• What is one thing you cannot resist?

  I cannot resist anything with cheese. I truly believe that cheese makes any food better!

• What music is on your most-played list?

  I mainly listen to country music thanks to my mom who raised me listening to old country! My favorite artists are Kenny Chesney and Brett Eldredge.
