Dear Birthmother,

Dear Mom,

Thank you for considering me as a potential additional parent for your child. I don't know what circumstances have led you to look at my profile, but I can imagine it is a decision that feels overwhelming and oftentimes a little scary. I admire your bravery in undertaking this journey for your child and hope that at the end of your journey, you experience peace in whatever decision you make.

From a very young age, I always hoped my journey would lead me toward adoption. Adoption has played a large role in my extended family and my current work life, and I am so excited to be in a place to welcome a child into my home and wonderful family. If you were to choose me to adopt your child, they will grow up in a home full of love, many family gatherings, fun travels, and as many life experiences as I can offer. Most importantly, though, your child will grow up knowing that they have two families who love them: your family and my family. I don't know what type of adoption you envision, but your child will always know about their heritage, the selfless decisions you made for them, and how much you love them.

Thank you for considering me for the honor of helping raise your child. I wish you nothing but peace as you make these upcoming decisions for your child.
