dear expectant mother

We are excited that you might choose us as a family for your child, and yet our hearts go out to you having to make this difficult decision. We imagine there will be strong emotions for you around this choice, but we also know there will be deep joy for you in the gift you will offer, as your family joins ours.

Our devotion to each other over the last 18 years has helped us through challenges, face our fears, and find our unique path in the world, including adoption. We dream that we will be able to share this love with your child, as we are with Reese, and to offer them the same dedication and support we share as a family.

Fred can’t wait to encourage the curiosity and wonder he learned as a child. Will is looking forward to continuing to build our home with your child through good meals, art, imagination, silly voices, and lots of dad jokes. Reese is an incredibly social and joyful girl who loves to give hugs and kisses and will shower her new brother or sister with tender affection, and we can’t wait to see. She is practically begging us for a sibling.

Thank you for considering our family as a potential recipient of your gift. We hope to meet you in person and share our love with you as well.
