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.

We want to thank you for taking the time to get to know a little about us. We can't pretend to imagine what must be going through your mind, the weight of making this decision for your child. We whole heartedly believe in open adoption, and feel that the more people who love a child, the better! If you decide to create an adoption plan, and choose us as adoptive parents, we will make sure that your child knows your story and just how much you love them.

Dear Expectant Parent,

We want to start by expressing our deep admiration for your courage and strength in considering adoption for your precious child. We know that this decision is not easy, and that we are here to support you every step of the way.

Our home is located in a small coastal town just a few blocks from the beach. It's a wonderful community with friendly neighbors, great schools, and plenty of outdoor activities. Education is very important to us, and we are committed to providing the best possible education for our children and giving them access to all opportunities.

Every adoption is unique, and we want to work with you to find the right level of communication. We believe that openness can be very beneficial and we are committed to maintaining a positive and healthy relationship.

We are excited about the opportunity to grow our family through adoption again. We have a lot of love to give and are ready to provide a safe, stable, and nurturing home for another child. Thank you for considering us as potential adoptive parents, and please know we are here to support you every step of the way.

We will be actively engaged in this child's life, seeing life from their eyes and showing them life from others eyes. We will expose them to right and wrong through teachable moments. We will teach them that life can and will be tough at times, but with intention and integrity they will be able to move forward stronger than before. We will raise them to feel safe and unashamed to express their emotions and fears. We will encourage them to explore their endless interests so they discover their passions and dreams. We will raise them to understand their power in the world, both good and bad, to feel confident and worthy and to have empathy and passion for humankind and the environment.

We are fun-loving & love-loving hopeful parents-to-be who live near the shore & can't wait to share adventures with our whole family. We've discussed adoption ever since we first met and are so excited to be here in this journey with you; we know you have so much to consider in your decision, and we are so impressed by your strength & ready to honor your hopes.

Pet parents to a senior Boston Terrier, we met in a running group and now spend time with friends, family, and each other as much as possible, laughing, making experiences, and building a life. We can't wait to widen our circle, share our love with a child, and potentially become a part of your story.

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 Birth Parents: We admire your courage and selflessness in making an adoption plan for your child and we are humbled that you might entrust us. We will strive to be the best parents we can be to your child and promise to commit ourselves to having a home full of love and possibilities.

With hope and promise, Jason and Summer

We feel so honored to be among the adoptive parents that you are considering. We want you to know that growing our family through adoption is our absolute first choice and not a last resort. We cannot begin to imagine the emotions you are feeling but what we are certain of is that you are incredibly brave. We are in awe of your strength as you move through these difficult decisions. We hope as you look through this book you will see the love we have for each other, our family and our friends. Words can barely express how excited and happy we are to open our hearts and home to a child!
