A Angel Adoptions
“After working in the adoption field since 1985 as a clinical social worker, I finally realized my dream of opening my very own private adoption agency in 2001! My goal has always been to be a small, licensed Alabama adoption agency that provides personal guidance and counseling every step of the way! My focus has never been to grow and branch into other states. Working with Alabama women who choose an adoption plan will always be the number one focus of A Angel Adoptions.”
“I have always been very proud of the quality of adoptive families adopting through our agency. It is very important to me that adoptive families receive counseling services during and after the adoption, as well as education, training, and handholding throughout the process.”
A Angel Adoptions is a small, licensed, private agency right here in Alabama. No matter what city you live in, we can come to you.

I am so grateful to have worked with A Angel in adopting my beautiful baby, and, without hesitation, I would recommend A Angel for other families considering adoption!
Suzanne, Susan and Emily are truly a blessing! When I initially met with Suzanne, I knew practically nothing about the adoption process (and had more questions than answers about so many things). Suzanne patiently answered each of my questions (and I had more than an hour's worth of those – LOL) and assured me that she would be with me every step of the way – and she did just that! If I could not reach Suzanne or just had a question along the way, I could reach Emily, who was always willing and able to help me. Susan, my social worker, was so incredibly encouraging, helpful and warm on each call and during each visit. Honestly, I was sad when those visits ended.
But, I will say what impressed me most was the care, compassion and respect that they showed to the birth mother. These ladies have truly found their calling.

Cannot give Suzanne and Emily high enough praise!! After going through a heartbreaking failed placement with a different agency, we found A Angel Adoptions while doing some online research and made the decision to move on from our first agency. Even though we live 2 hours away from their Helena office, we felt Suzanne was incredibly knowledgeable and would take care of our family (as well as the birth mother) through this process! From there, everything went so smoothly. Suzanne and her staff were quick to answer questions and were always clear communicators. We were fortunate with a quick placement after switching agencies, and Suzanne even helped us link up with a family lawyer for the next steps. Our beautiful daughter just celebrated her first birthday recently! Adoption is never an easy journey, and we had a very negative experience with our previous agency to the point we were close to giving up on our dream of growing our family. A Angel Adoptions restored our faith in this process, and we pray they can grow your family as well!

We simply cannot recommend A Angel Adoptions enough. Suzanne and Emily are true angels who walk alongside you during your adoption journey. We could not have been blessed with better people or a better agency to work with during the adoption of our precious daughter. They were kind, loving, and helpful - we never felt as though we were a bother and they were always available to answer our questions or help us. Thank you A Angel Adoptions for helping us to complete our family!

This was our first time adopting. After exploring other agencies and adoption options, Angel Adoptions was the only choice. When we started this process, I called Angel Adoptions. Suzanne spent an hour with me going over the process of adoption and helped me understand why some of her birth mothers choose the path of adoption and the risks involved. You could hear the care in her voice and the empathy she has for both the adoptive families and the birth parents. After that conversation, she would not take my application! I was dissapointed. To my dismay, it was all for a purpose! Suzanne does not take millions of applications and keep families waiting and spending money. She keeps a select number of families so not to overwelm and confuse the birth mother and also to provide intimate support to the adoptive families. The birth mother has the support she needs and would be comforted to know that Suzanne just doesn't choose any family to represent. She did a very thorough examination of us. In my opinion, her adoption agency is the only choice in Alabama. In addition, she does not require thousands of dollars up front like most agencies. The fees are paid after you have been placed with a child. She also did not require that I use her agency for the home study. I used Rebecca Connor, and independant social worker who was also wonderful. After my home study was approved, I waited roughly 7 months before calling Suzanne again. Roe vs. Wade had been reversed and I thought maybe she would accept our application. Well, after being with Angel Adoptions only 2-3 months, My Angel baby arrived in August of 2022. Little did I know, we were waiting on her to get here! We are thrilled and blessed beyond measure that her birth mother choose us to raise her baby. Our baby girl was everything we had prayed for!! The remainder of the process was smooth and I wouldn't change anything for the world. Suzanne and Emily were fantasic and if you are considering adoption, whether as a birth mother or an adoptive family I wouldn't recommend any other than Angel Adoptions!! with love, the Grices :)
