RACE OF CHILD INTERESTED IN ADOPTING:
Any
Dear Birthmother,
We are so thankful you are even considering an adoption plan. If you choose us, you would be giving us the greatest gift we could ever receive. We know this as we were blessed with our daughter through the miracle of adoption.
We know you are a good mother with a difficult decision to make. Know that if you choose us, your child will know that about you and know you. Your child will be loved by us unconditionally. We will eat meals together and laugh with each other. Bradley will play and chase them around so giggles will ring out throughout the entire house as they do now. We will rock them to sleep in the rocking chair while Rachel sings lullabies. We will read to them, and Rachel will create a scrapbook for them with all the special memories, including ones of you, as we do now with our daughter and her birth mother. Your child will have an amazing, caring, adventurous, protective sister to watch out for them as well as many excited cousins.
You are a brave, thoughtful, and selfless woman to be considering adoption. To be able to raise your baby would truly be a blessing and a privilege to us and our entire family.
With love,
Bradley and Rachel
Our Home
We completely remodeled a farmhouse on 38 acres in a rural Pennsylvania setting. We love being so close for family to visit. We have a huge yard where our daughter loves to play in her playhouse and swing on the porch. We love being able to watch our daughter explore the path to Grandma’s house, pick berries, and see the bunnies. Inside, we have a very open kitchen and dining room where we love to host family dinners, Christmas and birthday parties, and game nights. We have a colorful playroom with lots of toys that get well used by our daughter, all of her cousins, and many friends.
Our Extended Family
Bradley is the middle child of five, and Rachel is the oldest of three. We adopted our daughter, Clara, who is now two years old. On Bradley’s side, we have four nieces and two nephews, and on Rachel’s side, we have two nieces, one of whom is the same age as Clara. We celebrate all holidays with both sides of the family because we live so close.
Every year we prepare a seafood feast, Bradley’s favorite holiday meal, to celebrate New Year’s Eve. At Christmastime, Clara has an Advent calendar where she opens a little treat each day and we read her a story each night leading up to Christmas. Clara loves finding her Easter basket and hunting eggs during Easter with all her cousins. For Halloween, Clara got to dress up as a sheep and went trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. In the summer, we have picnics at Nona’s pool and go on lots of walks to Grandma’s house. Clara loves playing with all of her cousins on both sides of the family, which happens quite frequently.
We have such an amazing support system of friends and family surrounding us. The love they have for our daughter is all-encompassing.
