dear expectant mother

Thank you for reading this as you are considering making a difficult decision. I hope you have loved ones supporting you emotionally during your pregnancy, and I wish you all the best!

I feel honored and grateful that you are considering me as an adoptive parent for your baby. I am comfortable with having whichever type of adoption relationship you feel most comfortable with, and it is okay if your preference changes over time. I will respect your decision and be understanding about what level of contact you want to have. I will tell your child as much about you and your family as you wish to share, and I will always speak of you respectfully.

You and I likely share common goals for a child—to be surrounded by loving family and have every opportunity to discover their interests, do fun activities with their friends, enjoy family vacations, and get a great education, including going to college. I am fortunate that I can emotionally and financially provide all this for a child. I have flexible work hours and summers off, which will allow me to spend a lot of time with a child and focus on their development. My biggest goal in life is to provide a safe and loving home for a child and help them lead a happy and fulfilling life. If you choose to entrust me with the responsibility of loving and raising your child, I will be forever grateful.

With love and respect,
Jennifer
