dear expectant mother

While we cannot begin to comprehend the emotions and feelings you are experiencing, we hope we can make the decision even just a little bit easier for you for your possible gift of life to us as a couple, knowing that we would be forever grateful and honored for you choosing us to raise your child. We will offer them the chance to grow into the individual they are meant to be, providing them a loving home, emotional support, a caring extended family, and the freedom to choose their own path in life. We will do our best to teach them care and compassion and to instill in them a sense of personal responsibility to make their community, their environment, and the lives of others around them better than they found it.

We have eagerly anticipated the right moment for welcoming a child into our home, and now that we have firm roots planted, we can think of no better time to begin this journey. We know it will bring smiles, laughter, and delight but also know there will be unforeseen challenges, heightened emotions, and tears but, in the end, an overarching sense of fulfillment, growth, and appreciation for each other.

Thank you again for taking the time to consider us for this journey.
