Dear Birthmother,

I want to start by saying how much I admire your decision and ability to do what you feel is best for your child. My own journey to motherhood has not been an easy one. Although I may never understand the reason, I feel maybe it is because I was meant to be in your child’s life. Your selflessness and courage could allow me an opportunity that wasn’t otherwise possible for me, and for that, I will be forever grateful.

Although I cannot even begin to imagine the time, thought, and meticulous efforts you have put into this decision, I want you to know I acknowledge them all. I have so much love, time, and energy to pour into your child, and I promise, should you choose me, I will not let you down. I will spend every day of my life creating a loving, supportive, fun-filled atmosphere where your baby will grow up with everything they will need. Your selflessness and courage will be celebrated.

I will remind myself every day how lucky I am that you chose me. I will be your child’s biggest cheerleader, will support their dreams, and will encourage them to be passionate about the things they love. This child will be the center of my world, and I will make sure they feel that every day of their life. Thank you for the opportunity to even be considered for the most important role of my life.
