dear expectant mother

Dear Friend,

No matter which family you choose, we want to thank you for considering adoption as a choice for your baby. Our hearts are full with love for you as you make this decision.

We’ve always had a desire for a large family. Each of our children was wanted and planned for, just as we are hoping and planning to welcome your baby into our family. We love each of our children for who they are. We are striving to teach them to be good people and to show love and understanding to everyone around them, and we encourage them to explore their own interests and talents.

The desire for a large family also contains our hopes for the future: that all our children, including your baby if you choose us, will continue to enjoy strong family connections as adults. We would count ourselves incredibly lucky if they all decided to live near each other and if there were regular family gatherings with them, their spouses, and their own children. We picture lively conversations around the dinner table with lots of laughter and stories shared with their children and nieces and nephews about the fights they had, the mischievous adventures they never told us about, and all the fun they had together. We hope you can see your little one as part of this family and all the love we have for each other.

Much love,
Jayson & Erin
