dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Mother,

We hope this letter brings you comfort during this emotional and challenging time. We want to express our admiration for the strength and courage it takes to consider adoption for your child. We cannot imagine the thoughts and emotions during your journey. We believe this act is one of selflessness and love. We understand this journey is one of complexity and are filled with gratitude at the prospect that we may be chosen for this precious gift.

If chosen to be parents of your child, we would make every effort to guide your child through this world and ensure a loving, positive, and safe environment to succeed in achieving their dreams. We are committed to developing a relationship that is based on trust and respect. As a multiracial couple, we are aware of the importance of culture and history to a person’s identity and story. We will honor and celebrate their background and ensure that their diversity is reflected as a strength.

We understand the decision is entirely yours to make. Should you decide we are the right family to adopt your child, we will honor your wishes regarding the level of openness in adoption. Please know we will be forever grateful for this gift. Whatever decision you make, we wish you strength and peace.

With love and admiration,
Rachel and Jackie
