dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Parent,

We would like to thank you for allowing us to introduce ourselves and tell you about our lives. As a gay couple, we knew having a family would be difficult. Still, we can't even begin to imagine your difficulty in deciding to create an adoption plan for your future child. Words cannot express how grateful we are for your consideration for the honor of raising your child.

We have been together for six years and married for three of those. As cheesy as it sounds, our relationship is overflowing with love, and we want to share that with your child. Although we don't have the most extravagant things, we both have stable jobs and can provide everything a child could need. That is especially true of a caring support system composed of our siblings, parents, cousins, and friends. We also live in an area with good schools and endless activities. We will work hard to give your child the education and life experience that will bring them joy and make them a well-rounded member of society. We will do this while supporting their passions and allowing them to grow into the person they desire to be.

We know we are meant to be parents. If fortunate enough to be chosen, please know your child will be cared for and loved immensely. We will also ensure they recognize your love and courage in making this decision. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.

Warmest wishes,
Dorin & Jose
