DEAR EXPECTANT PARENT,

Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about our family

and for considering us as you make the difficult decision of who will parent your child. We hope that through this profile you will be able to see the love we have for each other, our friends and family, and our future child.

We know that God has called us to adopt a baby, and we cannot wait to meet the child he has for us!

We can only imagine the difficulties you have been facing during this time, longing to make the right decision for you and this child. We want you to know that we respect and admire you and pray for you daily.

--Sean & Elizabeth

Dear expectant parents,

We both meet here with our own unique stories that brought us here. We aren't sure if either of us would have thought we would be here today, learning more about each other and even ourselves. But we are both here because we have love in our hearts. Even though we don't know each other right now, know that we support you. We pray that you have someone or find someone who understands you and makes you feel like you are not alone. As we have learned, you're never alone! There are numerous parents that are in the shoes you are currently in, with their own unique circumstances that have brought them there. We hope you find them so you feel understood! Adoption can make a child's story unique as well and can provide them with more love than just two parents. The day we adopt a child, they will always know their story and where they came from. We pray that you have a healthy pregnancy with a healthy child. You have created one of God's most precious gifts that He will ever offer this world. We pray that they feel the warmth of a mother's love. That they have hands to hold and receive many hugs and kisses. That they do not feel alone and that they are comforted with a support system that they can trust. We pray that their life is full of fun adventures filled with peace and happiness. That they receive a life full of opportunities. We can not imagine the struggles that you must be going through, but know that we admire your strength and courage. We know that it might not seem like it now, but you are very brave. Trust in yourself and know that you will make the right decision for both you and your child, whether that decision be to parent or to continue with creating an adoption plan.

We hope you enjoy our story! With love,

Matthew and Kirsten

We are grateful to be able to introduce our family to you. We are Michael and Laura, and we have two daughters. Our oldest is Samara, and our youngest is Peyton. We don't know the circumstances surrounding this difficult decision that you find yourself making, but we admire your love for your baby. If we get the opportunity to know you and your story, we know there are so many beautiful and incredible things about who you are. But without having met you yet, we know you are brave, full of love, and so courageous. You are seen. You are loved. Our deepest hope and prayer for you is that no matter what choice you make you feel supported, loved, and taken care of. We've tried our best for this book to give you an honest and authentic view of who we are and what our lives are like. We have huge families on both sides who are ready and excited to welcome another precious little one into the family. We want to assure you that we are happy with whatever amount of openness and relationship you'd like to have. We want to respect your needs, desires, and boundaries. We want you to always feel seen, important, and honored. Thank you for considering our family. With love, Michael & Laura

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.

Dear Expectant Parent,

Thank you so much for considering to love your child through adoption. We know this is a difficult decision and want you to know that you are appreciated for your selflessness in potentially choosing to bless us with the gift of being able to have a family of our own. We both have always wanted to be parents and you giving us that opportunity means everything to us.

Our desire is to love, protect and care for a child and help them as they grow.

- David & Marisa

Dear Expectant Parent(s) -

We are grateful that you are taking the time to learn about us and we are hopeful to have the opportunity to get to know you as well. We understand that the decision you are considering can be very overwhelming and scary, but we also believe it is extremely brave and courageous. Our family is excited and ready to grow and we are honored that you might become part of this journey.

We both grew up with loving and supportive families who provided a fun childhood full of cherished memories. Our marriage is full of love, commitment and adventure and we are looking forward to becoming parents ourselves and creating the same opportunity for our future children!

We hope that you will get a good sense of who we are throughout our profile and can picture the life of unconditional love that we would provide to our future children.

With love and appreciation,

John & Allyson

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.
