DEAR FRIEND,

WE'RE TRULY HONORED TO "MEET" YOU.

We recognize that the decision you're facing is monumental, filled with emotions and thoughts

that only you can fully comprehend, but we also imagine it is one of profound love and courage.

As an adoptee myself (Sarah), I know this process often comes with many layers, complexities, and simultaneous emotions. We want you to know that we honor and acknowledge the journey you are on and make space for whatever you might be feeling. We also want to express our deep respect for you, your strength, and the selfless love you are showing by considering adoption for your child.

As you navigate this journey, please know we are here to support you in any way we can. Whether it's answering questions you have about us or simply listening to the things on your heart, we want you to feel supported and respected in your choice - no matter what that choice might be.

Thank you for considering us as part of your child's future. We admire your bravery and pray that love will guide you, fill you with peace, and give you confidence in whatever you decide.

WITH LOVE,

Casey and Sarah

We are Matt and Margot. From the very beginning of our adoption journey, we have been praying for you. We can only imagine how much thought, love, and courage it takes to consider adoption. We are incredibly hopeful about growing our family through adoption, and it would be a tremendous honor to raise and love your child. If you choose us, we promise to cherish them every single day. Our home is filled with love, laughter, faith, and a deep commitment to raising a child to know they are treasured beyond measure. As you learn more about us, we hope you see the kind of life and family we hope to share with a child.

A quick look at us...We've been together 13 years, married for 8 and raising our first Gladney baby, Sophia, for 2 years. Our pup is named Otis, and we are hoping to grow our family with another child. Thank you for taking the time the learn more about us and our community of friends & family!

We understand that the decision you are facing is both overwhelming and courageous, and we deeply admire your strength. Our family is eager and ready to grow, and we are honored that you may become a part of this journey with us.

Both of us grew up in loving, supportive families that filled our childhoods with joy and cherished memories. Our marriage is built on love, commitment, and adventure, and we are excited to become parents ourselves, offering the same love and opportunities to our future children.

Hello,

Thank you so much for taking the time to look through our profile and learn a bit about us! We have a lot of love to give and are beyond grateful to think that you might be considering us. We have been praying for you and this child for a long time. And while we don't know you yet, we are already amazed by your selflessness, compassion, and courage!

Family means so much to us, and we want you to know that we wish the very best for you and your baby whatever you decide. We hope that we can eventually meet you, give you a big hug, and tell you in person how much you mean to us!

We have always wanted to be parents and if you choose us to adopt your child, we promise we will love that child with all our heart and support them in any way they need. They will always know their story and feel the love that their birth family has for them.

With Love,

Melissa, Bobby, and Rufus

Hello,

We are Jonathan and Kacey, and we are truly honored that you are taking the time to read our book and learn about our family. Wherever you are in this moment, we want you to know that we have deep respect for you. We understand that this season may feel uncertain, and we acknowledge the courage it takes to explore your options and consider what you want in this moment.

Because Kacey was adopted as a baby, we understand that adoption is not just a single event; it is a lifelong story. If you choose adoption and choose us to parent your child, we promise that we will love them wholeheartedly and unconditionally. We will create a home where they feel safe, cherished, and encouraged to grow into a healthy and thriving adult. We are committed to honoring your child's birth story with openness and respect, and to speaking about you with kindness and gratitude.

We are also open to an ongoing relationship in whatever way feels right to you. We would love to share photos, updates, and meaningful moments, and we would welcome a connection that supports your child and respects your comfort and boundaries. We believe a child can never have too much love.

Our child will grow up surrounded by steady love, adventure, laughter, good food, music, and the support of close friends and family who are ready to open their arms. Thank you for considering our family and for allowing us to share a little of our hearts with you.

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
