dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Mother,

We cannot begin to express the emotions we feel for you during this very difficult journey. We know that each side of this adoption process comes with its own set of emotions, many of which others may never fully understand. As prospective parents, we've faced the heartbreak of not being able to have a child biologically, and we are deeply grateful for the opportunity to build our family through adoption.

If chosen, we promise to love this child with every ounce of love we have. We will cherish every moment and make sure they always know where they came from. We want them to grow up knowing that their birth mother loves them and has never stopped loving them. We may not know your reasons for choosing adoption, and we would never pass judgment. All we can do is thank you and love this child the way you hoped someone would. Throughout this process and from what we've learned about adoption, we understand there is loss. We will always speak about you with respect and love, and we will ensure this child knows how much love went into this decision. We hope to provide a life full of laughter, safety, opportunity, and unconditional love. Thank you for considering us—we know this is not an easy decision, and we are honored by your strength.

With love and respect,
Edward and Bailey
