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

Dear Expectant Parent,

Firstly, thank you for the decision you are making. We know this is not an easy one to make, one that we understand is life-changing and impactful. Your sacrifice is so giving and noble and it takes a special individual to be able to make such a choice. Your selflessness and courage gives us the opportunity to build the family we have always dreamed of. We thank you for even taking the time to read about and consider us.

Adoption has always been part of our plan. And you are helping us see this dream come true. There will never be enough thank yous.

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,

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.

We are deeply grateful for your consideration in this process. Your strength and courage in doing so showcase the values encapsulated within the human spirit. It takes an extraordinary person to start this journey and your selflessness will forever be etched into our hearts, from the bottom of which we thank you.

We hope that you will take a few minutes with our profile to learn a little bit about who we are! We have been working so hard to get to this moment, and to meet you. We cannot wait to give you a hug and learn a little bit about your journey, your dreams, and your wishes for your next steps. We know that even though our stories may be different, we will find common ground and mutual goals. We truly wish that we will get that chance!

Thank you for your interest in our story! We are Rey and Iliana ("ill-e-ANA"), and we've been together for almost nine years now. Given we found each other a bit later in life than many people find their partners, we've always known that adoption would likely be our best opportunity to have a child. Both of Iliana's grandfathers were adopted, and we have several other friends and family members who have grown their families through adoption. It absolutely means the world to us that we have the opportunity to do the same AND meet the birth parent(s) of our child!

Hi!

Thank you for clicking our profile! As we sit to write this letter our hearts are filled with excitement and emotion, as we know our lives will be forever changed for the better. We truly love children and have always dreamed of having a family. We are grateful for the decision that you are making as it is an indescribable gift to those of us who desire to have a family. We can never know the courage it took to make this decision. Thank you for choosing life.

We understand this must be a difficult and confusing time, and we may never completely understand all the emotions that you are experiencing. We respect your decision to place the baby for adoption. We pray for you to have the peace only God can give you and will continue to pray for you throughout this chapter of your life. As you will learn our family is a household of joy, peace, fun, faith, and most of all love.

We are blessed with a wonderful life and strong support system of friends and family. We have prayed that the Lord would bless us with a child and know that God has provided adoption as a way for us. We have so much love to give, and we cannot wait to be parents!

May the Lord bless you always (Numbers 6:24-26)

Love & blessings,Caleb & Rachel
