dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Mother,

Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening. We don't know your name yet or when you will read this. We don't know where you are, what you look like, or any of your passions and interests. There's not much we know about you yet, and we would like to learn all of these things. However, there are a few things we know, and they are important ones: We know you are caring, brave, and strong.

We can say these things with confidence, and we are happy to explain why. Only someone who cares about a child as you do would consider adoption, because it is a difficult and selfless thing to pursue. Your care for this child should be obvious to anyone. Your bravery and strength are evidenced by the fact that this is a difficult decision you have undertaken to pursue. Despite that, you have the courage to say this would be the best option for your child, and for that, we can only express our admiration and gratitude.

While we don't know much about you yet, we are excited to meet such a person and know that the baby you carry must be equally incredible. Whoever you decide to partner with, we hope you accept our gratitude for considering adoption and choosing to bless another family with the wonderful life you are growing.

Sincerely,
Stephanie & Keegan
