dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Mother,

We are thrilled that you have chosen to read our profile in order to learn a bit more about us as you consider whom you want to raise your child. We know that you are facing a huge decision and probably feel completely overwhelmed. We can’t begin to imagine what you are feeling. Thank you for being strong and brave as you discern what you think is best for your child and for yourself.

As you consider us as potential the Papa and Daddy for your child, we will do everything in our power to walk this journey alongside you. You have our commitment that we will strive to raise your child in a way that will honor you and make you proud. It will be obvious from an early age to (y)our child that Papa or Dad didn’t give birth to them and we hope to be able to offer as much information as you are comfortable sharing so that the child has a full sense of their earliest history. This could include photos and stories about you, where they were born and more, or less, if you choose.

In closing, thank you again for taking the difficult steps of considering us as prospective adoptive parents of your child. It is an honor that we do not take lightly.
