dear expectant mother

We acknowledge that this decision is incredibly difficult to consider. While we cannot understand the full personal weight of this decision for you, we would like to offer our sincerest gratitude and explain what your choice would mean to us.

For years, we have dreamed of becoming parents and starting a family. If you choose us, that decision would allow our dreams and those of our friends and family to become a reality. We will always honor that choice and your child once they become a part of our family.

We would also like to offer you a few promises if you choose us. We promise that your child will be surrounded by and know love. They will be loved unconditionally not only by us as their adoptive parents but by the village of friends and extended family who have dreamed along with us of us starting a family. We promise that your child will be supported to reach their full potential, whatever that looks like for them. We also promise that their happiness and wellbeing will take priority above all else. As a same-sex couple, we both know what it is like to deal with rigid expectations from parents. Our adoptive child will be empowered to pursue whatever life and goals make them happy and fulfilled.
