dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
We want to thank you for considering us as a family for your child. We cannot imagine what you are going through, but without you and your sacrifice, we would not be able to grow our family in this amazing way. We cannot express how much it would mean to us.
We started the adoption process before having our son. Having a child has been the best thing in our lives. We know our hearts will grow exponentially if your child joins our family. We cannot wait to teach your baby to swim. We know we will be nervous (but proud!) the first time they go down the big slide at the park. We look forward to watching them learn. For Pedro, this starts with reading books in Spanish. As they grow, Pedro will cook traditional dishes and sweets with them. Beth can teach them to knit. Our toddler will be a great big brother. He is a gentle soul and loves to “help.”
While we look forward to the fun times, we are well aware of the challenges. We want to be sure your child knows we will always be there for them. We will hug them when they are sad, support them when they are frustrated, and encourage them through their failures while celebrating their victories. We cannot begin to thank you enough for considering us. We hope this letter offers you even the smallest amount of help in deciding.
With love,
Pedro & Beth
