Dear Birthmother,

Dear Expectant Parents,

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to introduce ourselves and tell you about our family. We are grateful that you love your unborn child so much that you are willing to consider an adoption plan for them. The love and care you have for this child and the time you are taking to determine the best circumstances is inspiring. We want you to know this child is just as important to us. We have both been touched by adoption in our lives and are excited and nervous to become new parents.

We met about eight years ago and knew right away that we were meant to spend a lifetime together. We both grew up in families that were very close, and we see each other often. Our future children will have the best family that will always be there to support them.
We are so thankful for you and see this as the best gift that could ever be given to us. We dream of holding our child and supporting them through their many interests and ventures in life. They will be the one who made us parents.

Maybe you have already made up your mind about finding parents to care for this child, or maybe you are just starting to think about adoption. Either way, you are an amazing mother for deciding what is the best opportunity for you and your child.

Sincerely,
Matt and Lauren


Home

Our Home

We purchased a home with a large backyard two years ago with the plan to start a family. Our neighborhood feels like a small suburb but is located within the limits of a large city. We do not consider ourselves city people; however, we enjoy living near all the museums, sporting events, and city events that happen year round. Matt rescued our dog, Henry, at four months old, and he is now nine. Lauren adopted our cat, Trevi, while we were dating; she is now nine as well. Henry never forgets to tell us when it’s time for his evening snack, while Trevi also makes sure she is not forgotten. Trevi loves to cuddle, and Henry makes sure he is near us at all times.

Our Extended Family

Lauren’s family consists of her father, mother, and two sisters. She grew up near her dad’s family, and they saw each other quite often to celebrate birthdays and holidays. They also spent a lot of time together boating and waterskiing at their grandparents’ cabin. Lauren also grew up close to her cousins on her mom’s side, with weekend visits. They would spend time putting together musical performances and plays for the parents.

Matt has a twin brother and stepbrother. His twin brother lives close by and is married with two kids, allowing us to be present at their sporting events and school performances. Matt’s dad remarried a wonderful woman who loves him and his brother like her own children. His stepbrother has two kids and lives near his father and stepmother. Matt’s mother remarried a great man and role model. Matt grew up spending time with his cousins, who all lived near his father, and has many great memories of sleepovers and holidays together.
