We worked with A Angel Adoptions for our second adoption. We had an outstanding experience. Adoption is a very challenging process, and Covid definitely added to that stress, so it was very important to us that we work with the best professionals. We felt confident that Suzanne and her staff were running one of (if not the) best private agencies in Alabama. Their work is top notch. The team is small and close knit, and each of them have so much experience working in adoption. Even after completing one adoption through a different agency in 2017, we learned and grew a lot during our time working with them. We felt very well taken care of and supported during the process. We are so grateful to have our daughter because of them.

I already had 2 kids when I found out I was pregnant again. I don’t believe in abortion. I knew there were people out there who couldn’t have kids. The father of my baby said this wasn’t his baby. My son has great parents now and we text a lot.

A angel adoption was an answer to prayer, well many prayers. After two failed matches with other agencies, we had lost a significant amount of money. We love the heart of A Angel, the professionalism, but also the relationship we built along the way. Knowing our money was not at risk until our baby was home safely in our arms gave us tremendous peace in the chaos and confusion we had been through. They walked us through every step of the way, helped us build a relationship with our birthmom, and even grieved along side us a year later when our babies mom had passed away. They have gone above and beyond to love our family and our daughter well. We have and will continue to recommend them to prospective adoptive families! Our family is complete because of them, and we sure are grateful!

I was in high school when I found out I was pregnant. I told my mom and nobody else. I hid the pregnancy and picked out the parents for my baby girl. They had a daughter already so they are now sisters and close in age. Me and my mom have stayed in touch and we have an open adoption. I am thankful for Miss Suzanne and her adoption agency.

Because I was a scared 20-year-old girl, I knew I wasn’t prepared to be a mom – I knew his life deserved a chance. I knew there were others more prepared than me. Our circle of love just grew – like a blended family. I would recommend Suzanne and her agency. The Lord really did hear my prayers. I remembered being so scared. Suzanne made it so easy. I knew what to expect and Suzanne was there for me to talk to. I felt so lonely.

I need to send you another thank you to express how great you and your agency are. We have a successful placement of another son, so we are very happy this worked out as we love him dearly and he is meant to be ours:-) Over the years we have worked with many different placing agencies and we have not found any that come even close to offer the professionalism, attention to detail, care and compassion for all members of the adoption triad as A Angel Adoptions has done for us. We knew we wouldn't be taken as well care of as you have done for us with our adoption of our son, but this recent experience has really exemplified how exceptional you are. We were missing you every step of the way. Thank you again for how hard you worked for us; we really cannot thank you enough. Please don't change a thing; babies, birth families and adoptive families really need you. You are truly Angels in the adoption profession.

From the moment we started working with A Angel Adoptions, we knew there was something different about them. We could tell right away that to Suzanne and A Angel, this was more than a business, this was about finding the perfect, forever home for someone else’s most treasured gift. After being matched, Suzanne and Emily walked us through every single step. There was never a moment we felt out of the loop. Many times Suzanne would call just to check in and talk about how excited we all were for our sweet baby that was on the way. When we were told that no money would exchange hands until the birth mother signed over her rights, we were shocked. This was not what we were accustomed to seeing from other agencies. This solidified again that to Suzanne, Emily and A Angel Adoptions, the business side of things was not the priority, it was finding a loving home for a precious baby. Still to this day, 19 months later, we can reach out with any questions and we know that we will get an email or a phone call in response. We are honored to recommend A Angel Adoptions, and we are blessed to call them friends. They changed our lives, and we are so thankful they are a part of our adoption story.

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.

We adopted a beautiful baby boy from A Angel and it was a whirlwind of an experience, but I wouldn't have changed a single thing. We heard about A Angel through a friend and were initially interested because of their lack of upfront costs, which is rare (at least where we live). We submitted all of the required materials in April 2018 and just a few months later, got the call that would change our lives forever. We are so grateful for our son's birth family, Suzanne and Emily, as well as Kate, who took care of our son for a few days while we hurried to get our paperwork together and booked our travel to AL. Kate was incredibly kind and we continue to stay in touch with her to this day.

Our experience with A Angel Adoption was nothing short of Grand Design ... from the initial phone call with Suzanne during our application process to the day we met at the agency office to hold our beautiful baby for the very first time. We couldn't have been happier with how everything was handled. Suzanne, Susan and Emily make an adoption dream team! The level of advocacy in both directions (for birth mothers and for adoptive parents) never ceased to amaze us. We are forever grateful A Angel Adoption was a part of our adoption story ... our family wouldn't be complete without them!

When we were asked to describe what parenting feels like, we described it as “butterflies and rainbows” and even when our son is fussy, we feel very blessed and grateful to be his parents. We describe our son as the “greatest joy in our lives.”

We had a great experience with A Angel Adoptions from the very beginning. Suzanne was very kind and helpful as we navigated our first adoption. I would recommend this agency to other hopeful adoptive parents, looking to grow their family through adoption. We plan to work alongside this agency again in the future.

A Angel Adoptions is absolutely fabulous. They helped us with everything and always answered all of our questions. They do an amazing job of not only supporting adoptive parents but also truly caring for birth mothers. Every interaction was full of compassion for birth mom, baby, and us.

My husband and I adopted our son through A Angel Adoptions in 2020, and we are so glad we chose this agency. Suzanne walked us with great care and professionalism through each step of the process, carefully explaining and encouraging along the way and always ready to answer our questions. The adoption process often comes with difficult moments of loss, and she was an empathetic and comforting presence in those moments. Thanks to the diligence and kindness of Suzanne and Susan, the home study process went smoothly and didn't drag out. The post-adoption experience has also been overwhelmingly positive. Our post-placement home visits were genial, with the sense that we were not just being evaluated but genuinely cared about. Six months later, Suzanne has facilitated a few visits between us and the baby's birth mother, and she offered a perfect blend of helping us get to know each other and making sure everyone was satisfied with the exchange of pictures & information so far. Throughout the entire process, communication with Suzanne and Emily (the administrative assistant) was prompt and clear. A few things stand out as unique at A Angel Adoptions. One is the level of experience Suzanne and Susan have in the field of adoption. From counseling birth mothers to advising adopting parents to providing post-placement services, their combined decades of experience result in the highest level of knowledge, both about the human needs on all sides of the process and about navigating the necessary systems (healthcare, social services, legal, etc.) to get things done efficiently. Another aspect I appreciate is Suzanne's obvious compassion for birth mothers. Of course she wants all babies who come into her orbit to find stable and loving permanent homes, but she also strives to make sure birth mothers' physical and emotional needs are met and that adopting families are able to empathize with the gravity, difficulty, and selflessness of a woman's decision to make an adoption plan. This was a great gift to us as well. One more thing I'll mention that we appreciated was the amount of self-education the agency asks of adopting parents. There's a required reading list, and we found these books to be extremely helpful as we began the adoption process (and even still as we raise an adopted child). No matter how strongly you feel about wanting to adopt, there are essential things you need to think through first, and these books - as well as conversations with Suzanne - were useful in walking us through those considerations. Adoption is life-changing for all parties involved - you can't afford to have a bad experience with the agency. We were in the best of hands at A Angel Adoptions and will absolutely return there when it's time to apply for a second adoption.

Suzanne was there for us and our son's mom through the entire process, from match to finalization and beyond. She and Emily both were always available to answer any questions we had and we always felt well-informed and supported.

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!

highly recommend A Angel Adoptions. We adopted our youngest daughter through them in 2019. They were always upfront/transparent with costs, time frames, and sharing their wonderful wisdom/perspective (from doing this so long). They walked our birth mom and us step by step through the whole process. Suzanne is very comforting, encouraging and quick to get a hold of any time. She and her teammate, Emily, visited the hospital every day from right after the delivery to discharge. They became dear friends through the whole process. Don’t take my word for it. All you have to do is call Suzanne and you’ll know from her patient, kind voice and the time she takes to answer all your questions that she is totally dedicated to what she does and the women and men she helps. Our adopted daughter is our third and most likely our last kiddo, but if we wanted to adopt again, I would not hesitate to use A Angel again!

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

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
