Dear Birthmother,
We’d like to start by acknowledging your selflessness and careful consideration for the future of your baby. While we cannot fully relate to this incredibly difficult decision that you have to make, we can fully appreciate how strong you are for being able to make it and to fully put the best interest of your baby above all else. We realize the weight of the decision you have to make, and it is not something that we take lightly because at the end of the day many people’s lives will forever be changed. However, we have full faith that whatever decision you make is the best decision for your baby, and we are here and confident to make sure that your baby's best interests are continued to be given priority moving forward.
We know firsthand how difficult things can be when support is lacking, but also how far just a little bit of support can go. We have an open heart and open mind and are ready to share our robust support system and overwhelming love with not only your baby, but also with yourself, because while things may be difficult now, there can be a bright and beautiful future ahead.
Our Home
We live in the suburbs just outside of a major US city. Our town is quiet yet vibrant with a diverse community and an excellent park district that provides us with social services, community events, and free public spaces/activities. We also have easy access to airports, world class museums, concerts, sporting events, festivals, and everything else that large cities have to offer. Our home is full of love, with extra kisses to all family members from our sweet dog, Rosie. Rosie and Elliott enjoy playing together and are inseparable, constantly filling our home with happiness and laughter.
Our Extended Family
We have a large and loving extended family, with most living nearby. Megan’s parents often host family gatherings. Megan also has one married brother with a newborn son. Megan is very close with her 3 grandparents who never missed a dance competition or school event growing up. Megan’s aunts, uncles, and cousins also see each other often. The best words to describe Megan’s family are dependable and supportive.
Brian comes from a large, diverse, and caring family including parents, step parents, and 4 siblings. Brian is particularly close with his older sister who is married, and also has a step-sister in college, and two half-siblings in high school. Brian is blessed to have 8 grandparents (including step-grandparents), who we see often as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins who are starting to scatter throughout the country, but always get together for special occasions.
As our extended family lives nearby, we constantly have family gatherings. We love getting to see our extended family every week or two. We also frequently go on family vacations. Growing up, both Megan’s and Brian’s families enjoyed vacationing at Disney World, and this is a tradition we intend to keep alive for our growing family.
