dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Mother,

First, let me begin by saying this: you are doing something extraordinary. Though we may not have met yet, I want you to know that I see you with all the love and respect in my heart.

I cannot imagine the weight of the decision you're considering or the emotions you're feeling as you navigate this journey. What I do know is that it takes profound strength, love, and selflessness to consider placing your child into someone else's care. That kind of love is not small. It is not invisible. It is seen—and honored.

If I am given the privilege of becoming your child's adoptive mother, please know that your presence will never be absent from their life. You will always be part of their story. I will raise them to know where they came from—not just the facts, but the heart behind it: that they were loved so much from the very beginning.

I want you to know that I don't take this opportunity lightly. I have longed to be a mother, and the idea of being entrusted with your child is both humbling and sacred. If you choose me, I will love your child unconditionally, every day of their life. I will celebrate their joys, comfort them in their sadness, and create a home filled with laughter, learning, and safety. I will show up for them—always.
Whatever you decide, please know that you are not alone. You are brave. You are worthy. And you are making a decision rooted in thoughtfulness, selflessness, and above all, love.

With deepest gratitude and compassion,
Jenna
