Dear Expectant Parent,

You are amazing. Remember to be kind and gracious to yourself.

Today, we are so privileged to have the opportunity to write to you. Our wish is for you to breathe it all in. Through your baby's moves, you will feel your strength, your patience, your vulnerabilities and your unwavering determination to give the best to your child. Your selflessness is so cherished. We are humbled beyond measure to have you consider us as parents. We want you to know we will raise our child in a God-anchored, loving family with so much joy.

Thank you for taking the time to look over our profile. We understand you have a difficult journey ahead of you and we wish you peace as you navigate your path forward.

We are a blended couple where our cultures, traditions, and uniqueness have been woven into our lives. Our hearts are open and ready to welcome your child into our family.

Dear Expectant Parent

Thank you. Whether you choose us to raise your child or not, thank you. Without adoption, our family wouldn't be here. Wyatt's mother was adopted (from Gladney). Because her mother made that brave decision, we're able to be here writing to you now. Whatever circumstances brought you to this place and to meeting these families, we know that it hasn't been and won't be easy. Whatever you're feeling right now is valid. We hope that seeing the excitement, love, and care in these books will give you a sense of confidence and comfort through these next steps.

We are grateful for you, your courage and care, and that you're considering us to love and care for your child!

Hey there, We must have started and restarted this letter dozens of times, trying to think of the right thing to say and the right words to use, but with no children of our own, we understand there's no way for us to sincerely say we know what you're going through. You might be feeling overwhelmed reading these words like we definitely were when writing them, but we hope you begin to feel some comfort knowing that we are here, like you, a little nervous, a little anxious, but mostly just doing our best to prepare for what comes next. Your decision to consider adoption is admirable, and one we respect and do not take lightly. We know that whatever choice you make, you've already done an incredibly brave thing for your child. Whatever decision you make, we want you to know that you are irreplaceable, not just to your child but to us. We want you to be a part of our family, not just a part of your child's life, but to join what is sometimes a chaotic mess of people and pets but is most of all a loving family. A family that prioritizes acceptance and understanding, patience and kindness, and support. A family that may not be perfect but is always there and always growing together. We're glad you get to learn a little bit about us, our lives, and our desire to adopt.

We cannot express our true appreciation for your willingness to be open to an adoption plan for your child. Our prayers are with you in this important decision for your child's future. We pray for you to have peace in whatever choice you decide to make for your child. We pray and support you in whatever you choose, as we know it is not an easy decision.

We are excited to expand our family and are honored you may be a part of this journey. We want you to know that if you choose us to become the parents of your child, that we want an open adoption if that is your wish. We want to provide this child a loving and fun environment.

With Love, Nate and Joanna

Dear Expectant Mother,

We want to extend our deepest gratitude for the thoughtful consideration you have given to getting to know our family. Recognizing the gravity of the decision before you, we approach this with utmost respect, compassion, and an abundance of love. Through this book, we aim to offer a glimpse into our lives, the bond we cherish, and the profound love we are eager to share with a future child.

Believing that every child deserves a home brimming with love, laughter, and unwavering support, we hope you can see these qualities reflected in our story. We hold you in our daily thoughts and prayers, seeking the strength and courage you need as you navigate this challenging process.

Understanding the depth of your decision and the love you have for your baby, our commitment to providing a safe, nurturing, and loving home remains unwavering. We express our love and gratitude once more. Thank you for considering us as potential parents for your precious child. With open hearts, we stand ready to embark on this journey with you, should you choose us.

Love, Allie & Greg

Hi! We're Jen and Aaron. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We realize that you are in the midst of making a life-altering decision and you are carefully weighing multiple options. We appreciate that one of the options you're exploring is considering us as potential adoptive parents for your child.

We've been together since 2017 and, from the start, we knew we both wanted children. That plan hasn't worked out for us yet, but we know we still have the space in our hearts and our home. We love the life we share. Each day together reminds us of the trust, genuine affection, and fun that is at the center of our relationship. We are grateful that you might be the person to help us on our journey.
