dear expectant mother

Dear Birth Family,

We can only imagine how emotional and overwhelming this time must be for you. Exploring adoption—and choosing a family—takes immense love and courage, and we will never lose sight of that.

Thank you for reading this. For over a decade, Elizabeth has felt like a mother without a child. The right time, place, and partner never quite aligned—until we met each other. From our very first conversation, adoption was a natural and joyful “of course.”
We were both raised by incredible step-parents who chose to love us unconditionally, showing us that family isn’t just biology—it’s the daily act of loving, showing up, and staying.

We will raise our child in a home full of laughter, warmth, and encouragement—with two very pampered rescue dogs, a big extended family, and two devoted, curious, slightly sarcastic parents. We will cherish every moment—sleepless nights, tiny giggles, big questions—and we’ll raise our child knowing their story began with the deepest kind of love: yours.

Whether you wish for an open, closed, or evolving relationship, we’ll honor your wishes. If you want us involved during your pregnancy, we’re here. If you need space, we respect that completely.

Whoever you entrust with this child, we hope you find peace in knowing how deeply your decision is seen and respected.

With love,
Elizabeth & Jordan
