dear expectant mother

We admire your bravery, your courage, and the tremendous sacrifice you are considering. The decision you’re making is indeed a difficult one. We can relate as we have faced tough decisions in our lives. We thank you for considering us to raise your child. They will be safe, raised with values, loved as you want us to love them, and encouraged to be successful if you choose us.

We value the importance of community, respect, growth, and love. Marife can't wait to speak and teach your child her respective dialects as a way to immerse your child in her culture. In addition, we will immerse your child in the arts as Eric played music in high school. Lastly, that competitive spirit lies between the both of us, from board games to active sports. Your child will be engaged in family board game night and will be active in the community, surrounded by sport parks.

No matter what, we promise you we will raise your child as you want us to and will respect and support your decision. We want you to be a part of how you want your child to be raised and to be that support. We would be blessed to raise your child as a testament to your sacrifice, courage, and bravery. We stand committed to this experience and will be forever grateful and indebted to you for this opportunity.

With love,
Eric and Marife
