dear expectant mother

Hello from the Midwest! Thank you for taking the time to learn about me as you consider an adoption plan. I am a hopeful single mom by choice who loves lindy hop swing, travel, and car karaoke. I enjoy hiking and visiting beaches with my pups and have been known to nerd out about Harry Potter, Marvel, and early soul music. I know you have an important decision to make, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be considered as an adoptive parent.

If you choose me, your child will be raised in a supportive, loving home that values education, diversity, family, responsibility, empathy, and community service. My hope is to provide a child with well-rounded life experiences and help them discover their passions and interests. My goal as a parent is to build a positive relationship that encourages independent thinking and leads with compassion, while setting limits, explaining rules, and considering the child’s perspective. As an adoptive parent, I would honor your child’s heritage, culture, and birth family. They would know their story from a young age and respect the loving role you play in it.

I hope you feel supported no matter where you are in your journey. If you choose an adoption plan, I will respect the level of openness you want; I am open to updating you with messages and photos. I would love to meet you, learn about your aspirations, and understand what you want for your child.
