Dear Expectant Parent,
Where do we even start? First, we want to start off by saying thank you for considering the gift of adoption. We cannot imagine what you are feeling right now as you contemplate what is the right choice for you and your baby. We pray that you find peace in making the right decision for both of you, whatever that may be. Your baby is already lucky to have a parent like you who cares so much about their future.
We have been trying to grow our family for many years without success. It's clear that the path to expanding our family is through opening our hearts to a child--and their birth family--through adoption. We hope that after you get to know us and our family through this book, you will be able to see that we are eager to raise your baby in our loving, safe, fun, healthy, nourishing, educational, and warm family. We pray that by getting to know us a little here, you will be able to tell whether we are the right family to love your baby.
Zareen & Matt

We know that the choice you're making by considering adoption for your child is an incredibly difficult choice to make. We have so much admiration for you already simply by being loving enough and brave enough to make that decision. Our promise to you is that we're dedicated to providing our future child with a warm, loving home where they'll be nurtured, supported, and valued for exactly who they are. It's important to us that our future child knows where they came from and that you always have a place in their story.

Hello! It is so nice to meet you. If you are reading this profile, you are considering placing a child for adoption. We don't know what circumstances brought you to this decision, but we know that this choice is not an easy one. We have so much respect for you and hope that you have someone in your life to support you in making the decision that is right for you.
We are hoping to grow our family through adoption because, quite simply, we want to be parents. We had always discussed adoption as a possibility. After trying to get pregnant for many years, we realized that biological children might not be part of our journey. We decided it was time to put ourselves out there and reach out to birth families just like you. We know that you have many profiles that you are looking at and we appreciate you taking the time to get to know us. In this profile, we hope that you will get a glimpse of who we are and how we live. We are supportive of whatever path you choose. If you choose us, we promise to offer a loving home for your child. We have so much love to give.

Hello!
From the start, we want to tell you how much we have poured over what to say in this letter, and we still feel we struggle to find the right words. We can only imagine what it's like for you to be in this position, to be making such a scary and difficult decision that must feel like a turning point both for you and your baby. It must be such a confusing time, and we only wish to be able to offer you peace with that decision, whether you choose us or not. What we can promise to you is a stable, loving, supportive home full of education, empathy, and laughter for your baby. We have both known for so long, even before we met, that we want to be parents. When we met, we knew that this was the person we wanted to share a child with.
In our relationship, both with each other and our friends/family, we focus on honesty, discussing our feelings and trying to understand the other person's perspective. Each of us supports the other in our careers, hobbies and interests. We spend a lot of time doing things the other likes and doing things we both enjoy. We are fairly active and love to travel. We both love making our home beautiful and comfortable and spending our time together there. We would love to provide for a child of our own who would become the center of our warm little world. We hope you will consider us. -

Dear Birth Parent,
First of all, we want to say thank you. We know that deciding to place a child for adoption must be very difficult, and we have so much respect for you. We know that you're giving so much of yourself, mentally, physically, and emotionally. We have been thinking a lot about you in this journey. We want you to know that we care about you, regardless of the outcome of this process.
Our decision to adopt has been part of a lifelong dream. We were both raised in families that were built by adoption (Jamison has two adopted sisters and both of us have adopted cousins). When it is our turn to become parents, we feel so lucky that any child we bring into our family will grow up having other adopted role models to love, embrace, and guide them.
We're proud to have a home that's full of joy. Our days are filled with laughter and so many hugs. We have built a home where we can be our full selves without feeling judged, and we can't wait to welcome a child into this tiny loving family. We want our child to feel embraced for the weird, wonderful, unique person they are.
If you decide to make an adoption plan, we want you to know that we will honor and celebrate the role that you play in our child's life and the bond that you share. We look forward to welcoming you into our lives in whatever ways you choose to be involved.
We know that there are so many uncertainties about the path ahead, so let us start with what we can guarantee: We promise to do everything we can to make sure your child thrives in a home full of laughter, joy, and acceptance. We promise to celebrate your child's roots and strives to help them build deep connections to their family and their past. Most of all, we promise to love them, fully and unconditionally, every day of their lives.
With Gratitude,
Jamison and Alex

Hello! We are hopeful adoptive parents, and we are so happy to have the opportunity to share a little bit about ourselves with you. We have made this online profile with a few goals in mind. We want you to have a sense of who we are as people, what motivates us, and what is important to us. We want you to know what our community is like, and what type of place our adopted child would grow up in. We want you to learn about our families, and what types of relationships and traditions hold us together.
Most of all, we want you to know why we want to adopt, and how we hope to be supportive, steadfast, nurturing, and loving parents. We know that you are making a tremendously difficult decision, and we hope that our book will help in your choice.
With love,
Becca and Ryan

Our names are Lane and Nicole and we want to thank you for taking the time and consideration to learn about us and our family. This can't be easy for you, and we hope through your research of adoptive families you are able to find some peace.
In writing this profile we hope we are able to convey our true selves and what matters most to us. Putting our whole lives into this was difficult, and we want you to know that we will always be here to answer any questions you may have. We are open, loving and accepting people...and we hope you are able to feel that through this profile.

Hi! We are David and Heather. Thank you for taking the time to consider adoption. We are both educators in the public school system and live in a beautiful home with our two cats. It takes a village to raise a child, and we truly have a strong support system surrounding us. We invite you to be a part of this village and embark on this adoption journey along with us!
