dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Mother,

Thank you for taking the time to consider us as adoptive parents. We can’t fully appreciate how challenging this process may be for you, but we can imagine the difficulty and hope you have plenty of support around you at this time. We’re sincerely humbled and honored you’re considering us for this blessed opportunity and hope we can provide a glimpse of what this would mean for us and for your baby.

Having a child would be a life-altering opportunity for us, one we’ve talked about for years. We can’t wait to shower a baby with love, affection, and the life experiences our family could provide. One of the things we’re most excited for is sharing our family traditions with the full extended family present at Thanksgiving and Christmas, cooking together and sharing stories and gifts, and laughing over games at the family table. We also want to help a child explore the environment around them by taking them to visit parks and trails as well as new destinations, going on walks and runs with the dog, and traveling to visit family.

We’re also very excited to share our love for music, art, reading, movies, and other cultures with a child, offering them every opportunity available and seeing the person they grow into. We believe in nurturing a child’s interests, education, and community involvement and encouraging them to succeed in their dreams and passions.
