dear expectant mother

We know this is a tough decision for you to make, and we know it’s a lot to consider. While we’re trying our best to use this profile to tell you about the love we have for each other and the love we will have for a baby, we know there is no way for you to be sure it’s the right decision. We are not going to tell you we are going to be perfect parents. We are going to wonder if we’re doing things right, we are going to worry about our child’s health and happiness, and we are going to make mistakes along the way. What we can promise is that we’re going to do everything possible to make our baby feel safe and loved, to give him or her self-confidence and purpose in life, and to surround him or her with loving and caring people.

Right now the two of us have strengths that complement each other: Dan is someone who can handle cooking, cleaning, and staying on top of the day-to-day events, whereas Steve will thrive at bringing hobbies, activities, and a sense of adventure into a child’s life. Where there are gaps, we have family and friends who will help make our child whole, including our two sisters, who would be fantastic female role models.

We would be so grateful to be given the opportunity to add to our family and add to the traditions we’ve already created. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us, and we hope you are able to find peace in whatever decision you make.

With Love,
Steve & Dan
