Dear Expectant Parent(s) -

We are so grateful that you are taking the time to learn about us, and we are hopeful for the opportunity to get to know you as well. We understand that the decision you are facing is both overwhelming and courageous, and we deeply admire your strength. Our family is eager and ready to grow, and we are honored that you may become a part of this journey with us.

Both of us grew up in loving, supportive families that filled our childhoods with joy and cherished memories. Our marriage is built on love, commitment, and adventure, and we are excited to become parents ourselves, offering the same love and opportunities to our future children.

We hope this profile gives you a clear sense of who we are and the life full of unconditional love that we are eager to share with our future children.

With love and appreciation,

DEAR EXPECTANT PARENT,

Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about our family

and for considering us as you make the difficult decision of who will parent your child. We hope that through this profile you will be able to see the love we have for each other, our friends and family, and our future child.

We know that God has called us to adopt a baby, and we cannot wait to meet the child he has for us!

We can only imagine the difficulties you have been facing during this time, longing to make the right decision for you and this child. We want you to know that we respect and admire you and pray for you daily.

Hello, nice to "meet" you!

We're Kristy and Ryan, writing to you from Texas. Thank you for looking through our profile! We know it's just words and pictures, but we'll try to show you who we are, so you can get to know us a little bit.

What an uncommon situation for us all to be in! Anticipation, uncertainty, and hopeful waiting. While we can only imagine what you might be going through right now, we wish you the strength to make the best decision for you and your child, and the peace of knowing you made the best choice for both of you.

If that decision is choosing us to parent your child, we look forward to learning more about you and hearing your story. And we hope we get to help your child write their own someday.

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.

Letter to Mother;We may not know your exact story, but we know that you're trying to do something loving and brave--and that matters deeply.

We're not here to write the perfect letter or tell you we have all the answers. We're just two people who have built a life full of love, laughter, and family--and who are ready, with open hearts, to welcome a child into it.

You'll learn more about us in the pages that follow--our home, our traditions, our family --but we hope what stands out most is this: if you choose us, your child will grow up in a home where they are celebrated, protected, and deeply loved every single day.

We're so grateful that you're taking the time to read this. However your journey unfolds, we're sending you strength, love, and peace with every step.

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 Parents

We are Carolyn and Brian, and we want to thank you for taking the time to consider us as you look into our family and learn about us. We are beyond excited to begin our dreams of becoming parents. We hope our story will help you in making your choice. We know this was not an easy decision, but you made the most selfless decision for your child.

Dear Expectant Mom,

We see you and we feel for you. Are you feeling scared? We are too. We've read the books, watched the videos, and still can't fully grasp the weight of the decisions you are facing. Through this book, we hope to make your decision to place your baby for adoption a little easier. We are deeply honored to be here with you in this moment. We understand that your decision comes from a place of love. If you choose to move forward with adoption and select us, we promise to welcome you with open hearts and offer the very best we can. We believe that God has called us to expand our family through adoption. This doesn't mean we aren't frightened. However, we are choosing love, openness, and bravery. While we can't understand exactly what you are going through, perhaps you are also feeling scared and choosing love, openness, and bravery. We hope we can walk this path together. We are praying for you, no matter what you choose.

With love,

Nick & Jennie
