dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Mother,

We know you are going through a challenging time in your life, and during that time you’re here, taking the time to look over our profile and consider trusting us with this great responsibility. For that we are so grateful. We have long imagined ourselves with a home full of children’s laughter, toys, and drawings. We have often daydreamed of the mentoring moments we may have with them as they grow up, the smiles we may share with them, and the special traditions we will surely develop together. But it isn’t a journey we could take without you. Just for being here, you already hold a special place in our hearts.

We hope to create a positive, healthy, loving environment to raise a child, and know that we will fill your baby’s life with happiness and caring. There will be more challenges ahead of us, to be certain, but we will face them together, and all grow stronger for it. We have both been supported by stable and constantly loving parents, taught to value our relationships and the other people in them, and we hope to live up to their examples. We know how important this decision is for you, how hard it must be to weigh the options. We want you to know how important it is to us too.
