dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Mother,

We would like to begin by saying that just by being in this process, you have impressed us with your strength and force of love. We cannot imagine this decision is easy, but we do know that by making it, you will make a miraculous impact on many lives. Your life, your journey, your love…these things have been demonstrated by this one act, and for that, you will forever have us in your corner supporting you.

From the bottom of our hearts, we hope you know that if you choose us, you would be our joy and a blessing to us and to the child you are bringing into the world. There is no easy way to describe our gratitude or respect for you, but what we hope most of all is that you understand what we mean when we tell you even though we do not know you—and even though we have never met you, laughed with you, or cried with you—we love you just as we will love your child if you choose us.

We do not know how you may be feeling right now. All we know is that you deserve to be told (if you haven’t already) that you are loved so much by so many people, and as long as we are able, we will make sure you are remembered for your courage and your impact on our lives and that your child will know that as well.

With love,
Dylan and Kevin
