dear expectant mother

To start off, we simply want to say thank you. Thank you for considering us as the adoptive parents of your child. Thank you for being brave enough to face what we can only imagine is an impossible decision. Thank you for being so selfless and courageous. Thank you for trusting us with a piece of your heart. We cannot wait to raise another child and expand our family. Without your selflessness, this wouldn't be possible.

Together, as a family, we are excited to see what the future has in store for us. We dream of what might be, what bonds will be built, and what adventures will be had. We know the emotional toll a decision like this can have, and we want you to know that we are here for every step through life.

As nurturers by career, it comes naturally for us to care for and give to others. This is one of the most important things we want to teach a child, and you are giving them the first lesson. You are considering giving us the best gift we could ever ask for, and we cannot say thank you enough.
