It Is Meant To Be

Greetings! I am Antoinette Bradley. I am an attorney in the United States Army. I serve my country and citizens as a Judge Advocate General. Most importantly, I am a proud single parent by choice of one beautiful little girl named Milana EstelleGrace. We are excited about the possibility of adopting. We currently live in New Orleans, Louisiana which is a place full of culture and unique urban overtones known for French and Spanish origins, jazz, festival, and Creole and Cajun cuisine like gumbo and crawfish. I am originally from northern Louisiana so it is exciting to be back in my home state at this time. Why? …Milana will have the opportunity to experience Louisiana’s rich culture and traditions at a young age.

I have a large FAMILY that consists of four sisters and three brothers. I am the youngest of the eight of us. We are a loving and close family. Our parents passed in 2020 after nearly sixty years of marriage. They followed each other ten days apart. I believe this is an example of the love they had for one another. I have a host of nieces and nephews that are closer in age to me than my siblings. I love FAMILY and believe FAMILY is the number one key to happiness in my life. My entire FAMILY (my siblings and their immediate families) come together each year in the month of December to celebrate the holiday together. We sing Christmas carols, play games, have contests, cook, laugh, exchange gifts and enjoy each other’s company for the entirety of the day. The Bradley FAMILY has celebrated together in this fashion for over thirty years. Some years, the turnout is bigger than others but we have never and will never end the tradition our parents started many many years ago.
My desire is to welcome a son into my immediate and FAMILY and the Bradley FAMILY as a whole.

I struggled over 6 years trying to conceive from IVF, donor eggs, and surrogacy. FAMILY is tremendously significant to me. I would love for you to consider myself and Milana as the Waiting Family deserving of your beautiful baby boy. I can guarantee that he will receive more than his share of love, affection, and attention. Thank you for taking an interest in my small yet loving immediate FAMILY. We can’t wait to blend our family.

Until then,
Antoinette & Milana
