dear expectant mother

I am humbled by your courage to consider an adoption plan for your baby. I am not going to pretend to know how you are feeling during this time, but I respect the decision you’re considering and can imagine how difficult it must be to find the right family for your baby. I would love the opportunity to help support you while you make this courageous and selfless decision.

I was raised in a single-parent home with my younger brother. It was my mother’s strength and love that led me to adoption, I knew if she could raise me to be the woman I am, I could do the same for another child. I have always dreamed of having children, and I spent most of my childhood and teenage years taking care of my brother; taking care of others is just something that is built inside me. Over the years, I have watched my friends go on to have children, and I’ve learned that parenting is less about being perfect and more about providing the most love and support you can for a child.

I have been blessed in so many ways, and I hope to one day be blessed with a child I can share life’s adventures, vacations, holidays, birthdays, and family traditions with. Please know your child will always know how much you love them and how selfless you were to make the brave decision to place them for adoption.
