dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Mother,

We can’t imagine what you’re experiencing. We want to acknowledge the strength it takes to navigate this path. Know that your love for this child shines through, and your willingness to consider what is best for them is heroic. You’re not alone on this path. Support is there, and we would like to be a part of that support for you and this child.
We’re immensely grateful to you for considering us. We feel passionate about becoming parents, but a medical condition makes pregnancy risky for Alana and the potential child. We have never limited our definition of family to blood relatives, so becoming parents through adoption feels as natural as becoming biological parents. We are lucky to have dear friends who adopted our beautiful niece and share how meaningful it was to grow their family to include both their daughter and her birth mother. We are deeply excited for the experience of being parents and expanding our own family, with you as a part of it if you would like to be. We promise that if you choose us, from that moment on, your child will never know a day they are not loved and cherished, and will live a life full of family, friends, adventure, and fun.

In the end, whatever path you choose, know that you are making the best decision you can and are doing so with love. And that is the best any of us can ever do.
