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.

There are so many words that come to mind when we think of you: selfless, brave, loving, strong, compassionate, self-sacrificing....and the list goes on and on. Where do we begin to express how these words describe you? We stand in awe and genuine admiration and respect as we think of you and your circumstances. We have been praying for you and this child for a long time. We know this has to be one of, if not the most, difficult decisions that you have or will ever have to make. We are grateful that you will entrust us to raise your child. Thank you for considering us. Thank you for believing in us to raise a precious gift.

Hi there! We're Kayley and Corey and we're ecstatic to be growing our family through adoption.

We want to start by sincerely thanking you for considering us as potential parents of your baby; we commend your courage and wish you the best as you navigate this process.

As you consider what is best for your child, we hope you enjoy getting to know us better through our profile. We look forward to the opportunity to meet you and take this journey together as a family.

With love and hope,

Kayley and Corey

We're Jack and Emily.

We started dating in high school and have been together for over seventeen years. We moved in together after graduating from college in 2013. Since then, we've lived together in five houses in four cities and three different states. We moved once for work, once for grad school, once for a bigger yard, and once just for fun.

Hello! We are Andrew and Thao, a happily married couple who couldn't be more excited that you are taking the time to learn about us. We look forward to learning about you as well. Your decision is brave and may, at times, feel scary. Whichever path you choose, take pride in knowing you are doing what is best for your baby, and we commend your courage.

Since we began our relationship ten years ago, we bonded over our love of family. Our goal is to weave that love into our home. Family is not solely defined by blood but also by the deep and meaningful connections that grow between parents and children, siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles, regardless of adoption. We hope for the opportunity to give your baby the experience of unconditional love from not only us but our parents, siblings, and friends. We appreciate you taking the time to get to know us, and we're excited to hear your story and get to know you better.

We want to thank you for taking the time to get to know us. Our names are Michael and Shannon. We have an amazing teenage son named Owen, but we have been wanting to grow our family for many years now. I, Shannon, was adopted from Edna Gladney as an infant to a wonderful and nurturing family making adoption an option we have always been interested in exploring. After years of unsuccessful fertility treatments, we decided that adoption was the best option to grow our family. The moment we stepped out of the Gladney orientation, we were both filled with emotions and tears of joy to finally know that we were making the right choice for our family to adopt through Gladney. We want you to know that our hearts are with you during this process and we understand that this must be a hard time for you filled with many emotions. We hope that maybe getting to know us a little better might make you feel more comfortable, if in fact you decide to choose adoption as the plan for your child. If selected as adoptive parents, we promise to open our hearts and home to raise the child in a nurturing and loving environment. We know that you want the best life possible for your child, and we value your courage to consider adoption as a possible plan. No matter what decision you choose, we wish you the very best and hope you have a life filled with love and happiness.

With love,

Shannon, Michael, and Owen

We know that the choice you're making by considering adoption for your child is an incredibly difficult choice to make. We have so much admiration for you already simply by being loving enough and brave enough to make that decision. Our promise to you is that we're dedicated to providing our future child with a warm, loving home where they'll be nurtured, supported, and valued for exactly who they are. It's important to us that our future child knows where they came from and that you always have a place in their story.

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
