dear expectant mother

We can never thank you enough for considering us. We cannot fathom the emotions you may be feeling right now. We hope this letter will provide some guidance and clarity about us.

We have discussed time and time again how we would like to begin to grow our family. Adoption always felt right for us. We can assure you your child will be unconditionally loved and will never be left wanting. Your child will be our heart and soul. They will make us whole and will teach us how to sacrifice unselfishly. They will learn about nature, smell and taste different foods, and experience laughs, comfort, support, hugs, snuggles, and kisses. We hope to surround them with art, design, and music every day because that’s what we do in our daily lives. They will also have two strong, amazing grandmothers, one Cuban and one Vietnamese, to instill the importance of maintaining our cultures, work ethic, empathy, and education like they did for us. They will be taught the principles of face-to-face communication, the importance of daily meals around the table, and the virtues and dignity of hard work. Most of all, they’ll enjoy being a CHILD.

This is our first adoption chapter. We hope in the future to write more chapters by expanding our family. We thank you for giving us your time and consideration to learn about our lives, and we hope you find comfort in knowing we promise to welcome your child with open hearts.
