dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Mother,

We want to start by saying thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering us as parents for your child. We know this decision is one of the most important you'll ever make. The idea that you might choose us fills our hearts with immense hope and joy.

We've always dreamed of becoming dads, and imagine our life filled with the everyday magic of raising a child. We picture cozy mornings with pancakes and silly songs, afternoons spent exploring the local parks and cheering from the sidelines of games. We envision evenings filled with bedtime stories, warm cuddles, and the soft glow of a nightlight. We're excited to see our child playing with our friends' kids, building forts, and sharing secrets. We long to be there for all the little moments: the first wobbly steps, the first whispered words, the proud smiles after learning to ride a bike.

More than anything, we want to create a home where your child feels safe, loved, and cherished. We promise to be their biggest cheerleaders, their constant support, and their unwavering guides. We'll celebrate their unique talents, encourage their dreams, and help them grow into kind, compassionate individuals. We will always honor their story and make sure they know how much you love them and the incredible gift you gave our family. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for considering us. Your strength and love are truly inspiring.

The thought of you providing us with the ability to be dads brings tears to our eyes. We can’t wait to shower your baby with love and affection.

About Us

Thank you for getting to know us! Our story began on a hiking trail, thanks to friends who played matchmakers. We both knew instantly we'd found something special; the very next day, we were telling coworkers we’d met our future spouse. Josh, a Technical Account Manager, keeps us laughing with his infectious energy and surprise flowers for Anthony. Anthony, a corporate trainer, brings calm and thoughtfulness, always knowing how to ease Josh's stress. We deeply admire and support each other, making our bond strong through the years. We love exploring the outdoors, trying new things, and simply being together. With love, communication, and trust, we navigate life's adventures hand-in-hand.

Our Home & Neighborhood

Our home backs up to peaceful woods and a river, offering a quiet retreat. We have a big garden in our backyard, and we're excited to teach a child about growing their own food. Our neighborhood has many playgrounds, and we can't wait to take bike rides and walks to them. Weekends often involve whipping up a big breakfast together at home. We have two playful cats, Gideon and Piper, who love to be part of the action. Our home is a place of warmth, laughter, and simple joys, perfect for raising a family.

Our Family & Friends

We are incredibly fortunate to have large and loving extended families, and our favorite times are when we gather together. Anthony has seven siblings, and every year, the whole family rents a lake house for a week. It's a time filled with games, relaxing on the beach, and fishing. These trips create lasting memories and strengthen our bonds.

Josh has three siblings, and our family gatherings are always lively with his many nieces and nephews. Josh’s family also has an annual Fourth of July barbeque that everyone attends. The cousins, nieces, and nephews all play together for the weekend, creating a joyful and chaotic atmosphere that we absolutely love. We cherish these traditions, and the chance to come together and catch up is something we truly value.

Our families are incredibly excited about us adopting. Our parents are already brainstorming grandparent names and offering all sorts of advice. With such a large and supportive family network, our future child will be surrounded by an abundance of love and encouragement. We know they will feel welcomed and cherished by everyone.

What Led Us To Adoption

From our second date, we dreamed of having a family. We've been blessed to play a big role in our friends' children's lives, watching them grow and sharing in their joy. Witnessing Anthony's boss adopt their daughter filled our hearts with hope and showed us the beautiful reality of adoption. We cherish time with our nieces, nephews, and friends' kids, and we know it's time to build our own family. We have so much love and laughter to share, and we're incredibly excited to embark on this adventure of growing our family through adoption.
