dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Mom,

We want to start by acknowledging how difficult of a decision it is to consider adoption for your child, and we are humbled that you would consider us to parent them. You are a great mom for choosing life for your child and loving your child so much that you are considering all the options for their future. We feel it is very mature and selfless of you.

We have a friend who made this same decision for her first son back in 2008. She has shared with us that it has been the best decision she has ever made. Her relationship with her son and his adoptive parents has been one of the biggest blessings. She has been involved in his life while giving him the ability to have a life that she was not able to provide for him when we were in our early twenties. We also have friends who have adopted children and have shared how rewarding it has been to be given the opportunity to become parents.

There will never be the proper words to express the gratitude we would feel for being given the opportunity to parent your child. We long to be parents, to share all the big and little moments of life with your child, to teach them, and to watch them grow and become their own person. This is something we have dreamed of for years, and we know we can offer a loving home. Thank you for taking some time to learn about us and consider us for such an amazing opportunity.
