dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Mother,

We have been talking about writing you this letter for months, and it feels as though we will never be able to express our true gratitude to you if you choose us. We think you are the bravest person in the world for considering adoption. Your strength and selflessness will never be forgotten in our family, and we hope you know we will do everything in our power to make sure your child has the best life possible, if you choose us. We have dreamed of the day we would finally become parents, and we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering giving us this opportunity. Your child will grow up learning about the courageous woman who sacrificed so much for them, and we will do our best to teach them everything we’ve learned from life too.

We have fun talking about some of the family activities we would do once we become parents. Since we are both travel lovers, we’ve talked about annual family vacations so our future child can explore different places in the world. We talk about how to educate our future child from early ages, both academically and socially. We want our future child to experience any and all sports, art classes, music groups, language classes, cooking clubs, or other activities, and we have already created savings accounts for those activities, trips, and college funds.

Mostly, we really want to thank you for your bravery and strength.

Kirsten & Jon
