dear expectant mother
Dear Mom,
We could not be more ecstatic about the possibility of bringing your baby into our family. We have been planning our family for several years, so it’s easy for us to plan the knowns, embrace the changes, and adjust to the unknowns. However, the other side of this story involves the birth of your child and the relationship you have had for nine months. We’re confident the decision you’re considering isn’t easy. We can assure you, if you choose us, your baby will receive the utmost love, care, and commitment deserving of any human. We appreciate you wanting to give your child the opportunity to be a son or daughter, a sibling, a grandchild, and perhaps someday a parent themselves. We thank you for considering trusting us to love, nurture, and care for their every need.
The process of adopting our first son was engulfed in emotions. While Aidan came as a complete surprise, before we knew it, our hearts were pouring out love for our little boy. Even months after the adoption was finalized, we found ourselves elated, eyes welling up, proud and joyous as parents. We are surrounded by so many people who are so accepting and supportive, and most importantly, they will love your child as we will ourselves. We take comfort knowing we have such a group to encourage us every step of the way. Adoption has been the happiest time of our lives. Again, thank you for considering us.
