Dear Expectant Mother,

Hi! We're Ramez and Trevor, and we are so excited to meet you! We feel very lucky to be here and to have the opportunity to introduce ourselves.

Ramez is an Egyptian Canadian engineer and Trevor is an attorney born and raised in West Texas. On paper, we could not be more different, but we share the most important things. We want to be dads more than anything, we want to raise our kids to be kind, loving, and curious about the world around them. Most of all, we share a love that we can't wait to pass on to our kids. We can't wait to share all of the laughs, tears, and hugs of life with our family.

We promise you that we will commit everything to raising a family that is centered on love, honesty, and kindness. We also promise to respect you, the person you are, and the decisions you make. As you flip through these pages, we hope that we will be able to provide you with a sense of who we are as a family, and why we are here.

We think you are extremely brave for taking this step and know just how lucky the baby is to have such an amazing birth mother who want them to be loved and have all the opportunities they deserve. Ultimately, we hope to meet you so we can be there for you throughout this journey.

Hello,

We are Arturo & Kati from Texas! We are incredibly grateful that you are taking the time to learn about us, and we hope to have the chance to learn about you!

We have so much respect for the decision you are considering. This decision is as equally courageous and selfless as it is challenging & scary. But your bravery gives us the opportunity to build our family. We hope you get a glimpse of the wonderful life we lead by viewing our profile, & are able to visualize the kind of life we will give your child if chosen.

We are honored that you are considering us as potential parents!

Hello and Hola!

We feel so fortunate that you've taken a moment to learn a bit more about our growing family. However, before we get into ourselves, we want to acknowledge the journey you've taken to get to this booklet. We know that journey has likely been, at times, overwhelming and emotional, with complicated questions and daunting answers. We can't even begin to imagine the whirlwind of emotions you must be feeling, but we have great empathy and are in awe of the strength it's taken for you to walk this path thus far.

Our promise to you is that if you choose to place your child in our care, our love and support for them will know no bounds. They will be a part of a family that crosses two continents, will cheer them on during the good and the bad, and is unwaveringly devoted to love for each other. But, most of all, they'll be part of a family that was built on warmth, empathy, support, and camaraderie. They will know of the great path that led them to us and the incredible people who made that possible.

We are fortunate to be in a position in life where we feel ready and like God has called us to expand our family. Although our path to parenthood may be more difficult and look different than most, we are thankful for the blessing and miracle we know that's in store for us through adoption. We may not always understand a path we haven't had to walk down, but we do understand life can be unpredictable and sometimes difficult. To us, God makes no mistakes. Children are, and will always be a gift.

We may not be in your shoes, but we do understand how difficult this decision may be for you. We want you to know that we are praying for you and your baby as you navigate this process. We are here to commit and offer our lives, hearts, and home.

We want you to know that we are thankful to you for the blessing of parenthood, if we are the family you choose. Thank you for taking the time to consider us.

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

Dear Expectant Parent,

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us better! We understand that your decision to find the best family for your child is made selflessly and with great love. We admire your courage in creating an adoption plan. We look forward to connecting with you and hearing more about your hopes and dreams for the future of your child.

ADOPTION HAS ALWAYS BEEN CLOSE TO OUR HEARTS.

After a few years of trying to conceive a child with no success, we made the decision to pursue adoption. Nine years ago, we were blessed by the adoption of our first daughter Elsie. Four years after that, Charlotte was placed in our care. We are forever grateful for the way their remarkable first mothers entrusted us with these precious girls. While our story did not follow the path we initially expected, we are confident that our path through adoption is what God planned for us. We look forward to spending the next years of our lives walking this path with another child.

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
