dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Mother,

From the very beginning of our relationship, we have talked about our dream of expanding our family. A few short years ago, we went through several rounds of IUI, each without success.

If you choose us, we promise to raise your child (or children) to become a kind, caring, generous, thoughtful, and inclusive member of society. We can’t wait to share our love of sports, art, and traveling as well as create our own family traditions with our newest addition. Your act of selfless love, bravery, and strength would give us the opportunity to reach one of our most cherished dreams: to become parents.

If you choose us, you would be helping us fill a void in our lives. We could never thank you enough for this ultimate sacrifice. We admire your strength and courage in considering adoption. We want you to know our families are so eager and excited to have a little one. If you choose us, your child will have a cousin to grow up with as Candace’s sister is expecting a little one also. The adventures we had, life lessons learned, and triumphs and losses while growing up with close family members make us even more excited knowing they will have each other to go through all those experiences with.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and considering us as parents for your child.
