dear expectant mother

While you may be experiencing a host of emotions right now, we hope that knowing we want to join you and your child on this journey can be a source of comfort and encouragement. Our goal is to grow our family and provide a baby with the safety, love, and support that will enable them to pursue and realize their biggest dreams.

We’d like to offer your child a home where they can develop curiosity, compassion, wisdom, and courage by seeing these qualities in action, but we also want to provide a home that appreciates silliness and humor, joy, and just being yourself. There will be bubble baths, bedtime stories, and endless snuggles, just as there will be reminders to do homework, Band-Aids for scrapes, and shoulders to cry on when life hurts. We promise to celebrate anything that engages your child’s sense of wonder, and we will honor the cultures and traditions your child identifies as their own.

If chosen, we will spend the rest of our lives honoring the love you have for your child right now, and we will partner with you in teaching your baby that love is more powerful than pain, is stronger than fear, and will transcend any distance or time. Thank you for taking the time to get to know a bit about us. We hope you’ll give us the chance to know the two of you!
