DEAR EXPECTANT PARENT--

Thank you for taking the time to look through this Profile. We know there is so much change happening in your life right now, and that can come with a number of emotions and challenges. One of the reasons we chose Gladney was because we knew they would meet you in these emotions and challenges and provide great support. We hope you've felt cared for and encouraged through each step, and that you will continue to feel that way throughout this process as you make the decision that's best for you.

We're Robert Tate & Sarah (Robert Tate is his first name-it's complicated, we know). We've been friends for 12 years and married for over 3. Even before we were together, we both always hoped that adoption could be part of our story and the way we start our family. That led us here to Gladney.

In this profile, you'll find more details about our life, hobbies, and commitments through this process.

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,

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.

Hello!

We hope you are surrounded by love and support during this emotional time. We admire the strength, courage, and care you are showing by considering adoption. We know this is a difficult decision, and we deeply respect the thought you're giving to your child's future.

As a couple hoping to adopt, we are full of hope, but we understand this is not an easy choice. We know you love your child, and we want the best for both of you, no matter what you decide.

If you choose adoption and consider us, we promise to provide a loving, supportive, and nurturing home. We will always honor the special connection you have with your child and raise them knowing your love for them.

Thank you for considering us, and we wish you peace and clarity during this journey.

With heartfelt respect and gratitude,

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.

Hello,

During this difficult time, we want to extend our warmest embrace and support as you navigate through this challenging decision. Your strength and courage are truly admirable, and though we have yet to meet, please know we are sending you support from afar.

We're thrilled at the opportunity to share a glimpse into our lives with you. Family and friends hold a special place in our hearts, and nurturing those connections is our greatest joy. You'll often find us outdoors, skiing, playing tennis, or swimming in our pool. We enjoy DIY projects on our home, and we cherish moments together like seeing live music. We adore cuddling up with our beloved dog, Fancy. More than anything, we hope you'll see through these pages the deep love and mutual respect that are the bedrock of our relationship.

We hope to have the chance to learn more about you and your desires for your child so we can work together to create a wonderful life for them filled with never-ending love, opportunity, and support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to get to know us.

With Love, Graham Charles

Thank you for considering adoption and choosing to read our family profile!We can't imagine what you're going through. However, you got here, the fact that you're considering adoption is a testament to you.We have our own biological child and understand that putting him first is sometimes a hard thing to do. On the flip side, we've learned that in order to be the best parent, we need to take care of ourselves first. It's a juggling act, but at the end of the day, every decision we make for our son and future child is to surround them with love, to protect, and to nourish.
