Dear Birthmother,

Dear Momma + Baby,

It is not lost on us how fortunate we are to be walking alongside this journey with you. We are so thankful for you and your trust in us during such a difficult time that can be accompanied by so many valid and complex emotions that go along with adoption. We want to offer support through those emotions as well as reassurance that we have so much love to give to not only you but your baby—from the little moments and big moments to hard and happy moments for their entire lifetime.

We promise to raise your baby with the values and morals that mean the most to us: respecting and showing compassion and kindness to others, taking responsibility for their actions even when it’s challenging, and showing humility. We intend to do this through lots of love, guidance, open conversations, and prayer. We promise to always lead with love, have fun, enjoy the small moments, and go on as many adventures—big or small—as possible. And last but not least, we promise to honor you. Words simply cannot express our gratitude toward you.
