Hello,

Can we start this off by acknowledging that this is unusual yet exciting? We are fully aware that it is not just odd from our end, but from yours as well. As we sit here in our living room, thinking of all the ways to introduce ourselves, we cannot help but think about you too. We imagine you flipping through countless books, exploring the stories of different families, all in search of the perfect match for your precious little one. It is a tough decision, we would imagine. But please know that we are here, eagerly awaiting the chance to meet you and hoping that, through our words, you can get a clear and honest glimpse into who we are as a family. So, take your time, we understand the weight of your choice, and know that we are excited to start this journey with you.

Dear Birth Parent,

We are honored that you have taken the time and effort to consider us as a potential adoptive family for your child. We do not pretend to know or understand all you are going through but we hope you will come to trust us with your story. Please know that we and our community are praying for peace and clarity of mind for you as you continue along your journey.

We hope to provide a brief glimpse into our lives and to give you a peek at what this child's life would be like as a cherished member of our family. We promise to love our future adopted child and to support them as they grow and develop over the rest of their life. We hope to work alongside you to find ways for you to be known to them as well.

Our extended family and support system is supportive of us and our journey. We have multiple family members and close friends who have been adopted so we have some idea as to both the challenges and the rewards ahead. We acknowledge that all children are different and require individualized parenting approaches in supporting their growth over time, and we look forward to helping them along the way.

Again, we hope that we can help provide you with the reassurance that you and your child are loved. We look forward to getting to know you and answering your questions as we continue this journey together.

With Love and Appreciation, Casey and Holly

We know this is not an easy decision. We admire your incredible strength, courage, and selflessness as you go through this journey. No matter where this journey may take you, please know you are in our prayers. If chosen by you, we'd love the opportunity to hear more about your hopes and dreams for this child. In return, we'll share about our lives together and the immense love we have to offer a child. We are so excited about becoming parents and we hope that you can envision the nurturing home and family that we are dedicated to offering.

Hi there! We are Kylie and Zachary. It has been a lifelong dream of ours to start a family, and we are so fortunate to have selfless mamas like you who can help make that dream come true. We are a military family who has explored all over the world with our two cats, Miso and Baker. This is just a glimpse into our lives; we hope to share more with you!

Dear Expectant Parent(s),

Our names are Jessica and Matthias, and we would like to start by recognizing how incredibly strong and courageous you are for considering adoption. We understand that this is likely not an easy time for you and we have been praying that you feel God's guidance and peace through this journey.

We'd also like to thank you for looking at our profile to learn a bit about us and our journey to become parents through adoption. We are excited about growing our family, not only by becoming parents but also by welcoming you and your loved ones, if that relationship is something you are open to and think is best for the 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.

Dear Expectant Parent,

We are extremely excited to be adoptive parents. Our journey to bring a child into our family has been a long one; we see adoption as an opportunity to both grow our family while giving both hope and reassurance to an expectant mother. Michael and I realize that placing a child into adoption is not an easy decision. We can only imagine it comes with much contemplation, internal searching, and likely restless nights. We want to assure you that we are a loving couple eager to take on the challenges of raising a child into adulthood. We are both appreciative of the opportunity to accept a child and promise to do our best to love and nurture the child as you would want the child to be nurtured and loved.

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.
