dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Mother,

We recognize this decision is possibly the most difficult one you’ll ever need to consider, and while we can’t fully understand how that feels, we respect the thought and love that go into your choice. Should you select us to raise this child, we promise to give them a world filled with endless laughter and love. Only you know what is best for your baby, and we have faith the decision you make will be the right one. If your decision is us, here is our promise to you.

If you choose us, we promise to raise your child in a home filled with unconditional love, belly laughs, and outdoor adventures. As we both had enjoyable childhoods, we hope to recreate a similar experience with your baby. We look forward to long Sundays at home, trips to explore other cultures, and bedtime stories.

We will be their protectors and confidants. Most importantly, we promise to be honest and open with your child. We will tell them their story—a story of how a strong, courageous woman loved them so much that she brought them into our lives.

We’re happy to share updates, stories, and photos with you if you wish so you can see the life you gave this child and the incredible joy you brought his or her moms. We’ll strive to be the best parents possible and will offer this child two loving moms who will absolutely adore them. Thank you so much for learning more about us. It truly means the world.

With love,
Amy & Sarah

About Us

We like to think of ourselves as loving, imaginative, responsible, and funny people, and unless our friends and family have been lying to us, we are not far off the mark. For the past six years, we have been committed to supporting each other’s dreams and building a life together. Amy has been working in urban education for the past fifteen years and is an elementary school principal. Sarah has been working in the corporate business world since 2009 and currently is the director of human resources for her company. We are proud mothers to our little Olivia, whom we adopted in 2019. There is nothing more important to us than our family and creating memories together. We are also avid DIYers; there is no project too big for us to tackle, from replacing floors to installing ceiling fans. We are grounded in our values of family, integrity, ambition, loyalty, and exploration.

Our Home & Pets

We enjoy maintaining an active lifestyle while living in a condo downtown within walking distance of many hiking trails, parks, community events and engaging with a diverse community. Our home is our happy place with two outdoor balconies overlooking the Milwaukee River. In the summer we enjoy outdoor adventures, BBQs outside with family and friends, and participating in local running events. We enjoy cooking meals as a family and sitting around the kitchen table talking about our days. Our kitchen table also frequently doubles as a desk and art station as we collaborate with Olivia on her homework and art projects. We have an 11 year old golden retriever named Cooper. He is the most patient dog and allows Olivia to play doctor and dress up with him. We love dance parties in the living room and we end every night with family story time where Olivia picks out books to read.

Our Extended Family

We both grew up in the country. Sarah’s childhood involved time spent outdoors with her father and baking with her mother. She can bait a fishing hook like a pro and often goes ice fishing during the winter with her father and her younger sister. Sarah grew up camping and still loves being outside. Sarah and her sister were very active in high school and college; both played sports and were involved in church activities. Sarah’s family lives a short drive away and often visits.

Amy’s childhood involved playing sports with her brother and learning the family trade of carpentry on the weekends. Amy and her mother are very close, and daily phone calls are typical. Amy played sports in high school and college and loves coaching in the community. Amy and her brother have a friendly competition every year for the most creative Halloween and Christmas outdoor light display; a passion for holiday outdoor lighting is one that Amy’s father has passed down to both his children. Amy’s family participates in the annual hometown summer parade, where they creatively decorate a float for a chance to win a traveling trophy. Amy’s parents live two hours away but often drive down for day trips and special occasions.

Our Adoption Story

When we first started talking about expanding our family, adoption was our first choice. In 2016 we started our adoption journey and finalized our first adoption in 2019. Our daughter has brought so much joy into our lives. Adoption has given us the gift of being parents. We continue to have a relationship with our daughter’s birth mom and hope that if lucky enough to be chosen again as adoptive parents, we could have a relationship with another birth mom. As our family grows, our children will always know the truth about the love their birth moms had for them.
