Testimonials

























































“I placed my baby for adoption with A Angel Adoptions because I knew I wasn’t prepared to be a mom at that time. I also knew this baby deserved a chance in life with parents who were prepared to have a baby. I would recommend Suzanne and her agency to anyone thinking about placing their baby for adoption. I would also play it the same way if I had to do it again and really feel like the Lord heard my prayers. I remember being so scared and lonely and felt like Suzanne was always there for me to talk to – day or night. She helped me know what to expect at the hospital and through the years. She continues to be a huge support system to me.”

“Thank you for caring about me and my son. I’m so thankful for you, your workers, and your agency, A Angel Adoptions. I’m also especially thankful for the adoptive parents of my son. I would work with you and your agency again with a drop of a hat!”
– Birth Mother
“Thank you so much! We have our dream. We are a family. God has blessed us so much by bringing our baby into our lives. God has many angels here on earth. My husband and I want you to know you are an angel to us. God bless you!”
–E. and S. (adoptive parents)
“Thank you for all you’ve done to help complete our dream of having another child. We are so in love with our little girl! We have had such a great experience with her birth mother and her family. It was truly a match made in Heaven! We couldn’t have asked for things to go better!”
–R. and T. (adoptive parents)
“My husband and I are really enjoying maintaining our open relationship with our birth mother. Our baby is doing great. He will be 10 weeks old tomorrow. He is a very good baby and has brought so much joy and happiness to our family. We love him so much and are so thrilled to be his Mommy and Daddy. He has truly changed our lives in such an awesome way. Thanks so much for your part in helping my husband and I build our family through the adoption of this precious baby boy.”
–W. and A. (adoptive parents)
“I hope we’ve said this before, but I’d like to say “thanks” again for helping us add this angel to our family. Along with enjoying parenthood the past year, I’ve been blessed to meet other adoptive parents and hear their stories. And although each one ends with a wonderful new son or daughter, I have to say that by far, you gave us the best experience over all others. You knew the ins and outs of adoption very well, were candid with us about our options and what to expect, and you were available when we needed you. And most important (to me, anyway) was the way you managed our wait time.”
–S. and L. (adoptive parents)
“The blessings just keep coming don’t they?!? My husband and I feel like the two luckiest people in the world. Your guidance, persistence, and careful attention to each detail has made our experience an absolute joy. Our son is everything we wanted and so much more. He is the final piece to our wonderful family.”
–P. and M. (adoptive parents)
“Today is my first Mother’s Day to celebrate as a mother, and I couldn’t be happier! I am very touched by the “specialness” this day brings and the privilege it is to be a mother. Thank you again for all you did to help us realize our long awaited dream. Our daughter is a true joy and we love her so.”
–D. and R. (adoptive parents)
“How do you thank someone for helping to complete your family? Your support as we went through our adoption process was so wonderful. You pulled us up when we were down and literally helped us cope with everything. Our son brings such joy to our whole family. He is so happy and has the most beautiful smile. He is worth all we went through and makes this Christmas even more special. Thank you so much for all that you did to bring him to us. We cannot imagine our lives without our precious angel”
–The S. Family (adoptive family)
