Dear Birthmother,

We cannot begin to imagine the careful decision you are making. We truly value the awesome responsibility it is to bring a child into this world, and we appreciate you taking the time to get to know us. We can tell you we believe what you are doing is extremely difficult and shows an immense amount of love for your child. We will always do our best to be supportive and helpful in any way we can, for both you and your baby, should you choose us.

Personally, we are overwhelmed with emotion! We are overjoyed and excited about the adoption process. We are hopeful, optimistic, and slightly impatient. After our journey with infertility, we are honestly hesitant to get over-excited for fear of being let down. But we also believe we have been led to adoption, to this point, which is exactly where we are supposed to be. We want, so much, to be parents and start a family, but we understand that nothing is guaranteed and are trying our best to stay optimistic and trust in the process.

More than anything, we are grateful and thankful you are taking the time to get to know us. We know your decision is anything but easy, and we have an immense amount of respect for whatever choice you decide to make. We believe considering adoption for your baby shows a great deal of strength and courage and the immense amount of love you have for your baby.
