dear expectant mother

First and foremost, thank you. Thank you for taking the time to read through our profile, thank you for your consideration in choosing us as parents for your child, and, most importantly, thank you for considering the incredibly difficult decision of adoption.

If you choose us, your child will grow up speaking two languages, English and Arabic, just like his or her dads. Your child will experience two cultures, Christian and Islamic. Your child will also experience a plethora of other world cultures and languages through travel as a citizen of the world. Your child will be the best-dressed kid in school. (Cody talks endlessly about all the cute baby clothes he’s going to buy.) Your child will know love endlessly from his or her dads, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, and so many more. Your child will be well educated with a teacher as a parent. Most importantly, your child will be the continuation of our story and will finally help us begin to call ourselves a “family” with our first bundle of joy.

We want to share with you that our tears in writing this are tears of joy and thankfulness. We are so thankful for people like you who choose to give this gift of family to those who struggle to begin one. So again, from the bottom of both our hearts, thank you!
