dear expectant mother

Dear mother,

The decision you are considering—to give the gift of love and hope to a family—is one of the most selfless and compassionate choices you can make. We admire your strength and courage, and we cannot begin to imagine what you are feeling right now. We are so thankful for you and grateful to be considered as parents to your baby. The love you have for your child, shown in your desire to provide the best possible future, is truly admirable. We can’t wait to love, cherish, protect, and provide for a child. We believe children are among life’s greatest blessings, and your decision to give us the opportunity to love your child unconditionally is a gift beyond words.

We met later in life, and while we each have children separately, we are unable to have a child together—and that has been our dream. The love we share is something we long to give to a baby of our own. We know your decision is both powerful and difficult, and we promise to honor it by creating the best life possible for your baby. We look forward to walking beside you on this journey and supporting you in whatever you need.
