dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Mother,

We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity you have given us just by reading this to share a little about our lives and our dreams to be parents. We hope this letter finds you well and want you to know that although we haven't met each other yet, we appreciate the amazing person you are to choose the loving, courageous, and hopeful gift of adoption. We thank you for your courage while you make this decision.

We are very excited about the potential of growing our family together. Our family and cultural backgrounds have taught us both to cherish and nurture our family, and we are eager to share the joys and challenges that being a parent provides as we focus our lives on providing your child with confidence, respect, and care for others.

Through our journey as a couple, we have worked hard to build a strong home and family bonds that can provide the foundation for the unconditional love, excitement, energy, and growth we anticipate bringing a child into the family will offer.

We are eager to learn more about you and offer you our love and care as we learn more about you and your dreams and aspirations. There aren't enough words to express our thanks to you for giving us this opportunity, and we can't wait to meet you and become your partners in this journey together.

We are eager to learn more about you and offer you our love and care as we learn more about you and your dreams and aspirations.

About Us

We met in an online Bible study and quickly became friends, even though Juan is a fashion designer and Jon is an IT geek. Our differences are what drew us to each other when we met and have helped us nourish a strong and committed marriage of over five years. Juan has an eye for fashion, and while he works as a merchandising manager for a national retailer, he loves painting in his free time. Jon is an IT director for a global company and loves reading and flying planes in his spare time. Together we enjoy traveling the country and the world, taking walks on nearby nature trails, and trying new foods. We are very close to and put a priority on our families, which means we are always enjoying or preparing for a birthday, holiday, or family get-together.

Our Home

We live in a beautiful home that was just built for us in the last year, nestled in suburban North Carolina. Our home was designed with children in mind, with 3,200 square feet providing space for four bedrooms and with more open space outdoors. Our large backyard brings plenty of play space that we're so excited about filling with laughs and memories. Our home is tucked into a close-knit neighborhood with great schools and filled with friendly neighbors with young children. We're located in a large metropolitan area, providing easy access to many activities and opportunities, but we're still only a drive away from both the mountains and the beach.

Our Extended Family

Our families are the most important part of our lives. We both come from large families, and spending time with them is the highlight of any week. Jon has three brothers and one sister, while Juan has two brothers and two sisters. Between all of our siblings, we have four nieces and three nephews that light up our world. Together this can make for a home full of laughter and excitement when we're all together.

We spend almost every holiday with our family and make it a priority to be together for birthdays as well as to celebrate each person in our family. New Year’s is our family's favorite holiday. We get to support each other in our goals for the upcoming year and celebrate our successes from the prior year. We always make sure the entire family is together for New Year’s and enjoy spending the days cooking and playing family games.

We're excited about creating new traditions as our family grows. We both enjoy traveling and have traveled together through much of Europe, North and Central America, and Asia. We’re looking forward to continuing these traditions as well as finding new ones to celebrate our growing family.

What Led Us To Adoption

Both of us grew up in large families with four siblings each, and since we met, we have always shared a desire to create a family of our own. After being married for a couple years, we set out the goals we wanted to reach before becoming parents. We also started to think about how we wanted to go about growing our family. We explored various options, but it was ultimately through seeing the beautiful, loving families of several friends and neighbors who had adopted children that we knew we wanted to pursue adoption by allowing us to work with an expectant mother to help fulfill her dreams as well as reach our dream of growing our family as parents.
