dear expectant mother
Before anything else, we want to say thank you. We do not know you yet, but we can easily infer that you must be an infinitely brave and selfless woman to be on this journey. You should know that you’re a hero to two parties in this story. First, you’re a hero to the family that you ultimately choose to raise your child. More importantly, you're a hero to your baby. Your child will always know this about you regardless of which family you choose. We truly appreciate and respect your consideration, time, and decision, but we can never wholly express the gratitude you deserve for giving the gift of family to those who couldn't have it without you.
We have dreamed of starting a family since we first married, and with your help, we promise to give your child the same love, security, support, and affection as you would yourself. We can't promise your child will never fall and scrape a knee or that they'll never know heartbreak or disappointment, but we can promise we will be there when it happens, pick them up, dry their tears, and, like you, strive to always be their hero.
Your child will grow up with an unconditional love equal to that of your own. Their story will be filled with memorable moments of tradition, values, and adoration that will shape their character, preparing them for their own adventures as they set out to leave their mark on the world.
