Dear Birthmother,

The words “thank you” seem too simple to express the depth of our gratitude to you. We understand what a difficult decision this must be, and we want you to know we respect and admire your strength in prioritizing the wellbeing of your baby above anything else. We feel like you exploring adoption comes from a place of love and hope that we will be the kind of parents you’d want your baby to have.

We want you to know that if you choose us to be your child’s adoptive parents, you will always hold a special place in our hearts. We will always be open about who you are and what you went through to give your child the best life possible. We want you to know how much we will love this baby and how we want to not only be the adoptive parents to this child but also their friend. We promise that if we are chosen, we will love them unconditionally and encourage them in everything they set their mind to. We promise we will fill their life with as many experiences as possible and raise them to treat everyone they encounter with respect because you never know what someone might be going through.

We can’t thank you enough for exploring the idea of adoption to make sure your baby is happy, healthy, and loved, and we promise to spend the rest of our lives making sure that’s exactly what we will do.
