Dear Birthmother,

We imagine reading through so many letters can be overwhelming. How does one choose parents from random strangers? We would not assume to know how difficult this may be for you or the mix of emotions you may have. What we do know is that considering us as parents is a privilege, and to be chosen would be a huge honor and the greatest gift anyone could give us.

What we can do is give our best in words and photos as to how much our desire to have a family has led us here, now, with you reading this. We hope our sincerity, love of life, joy, goofy sense of humor, and big hearts show themselves in our words and pictures. We can promise a warm and safe home, one with security; lots and lots of love, laughter, and play; and a solid education. We speak Italian and English in our home, so being bilingual will be taught. Our love of nature and animals is so important to us too, and we cannot wait to have a family to go on hikes and camping, to explore the forests and lakes near our home, and to teach them the wonder of the world around us.

In the end, you will make the best choice you can, and we hope you find the parents you think are best, even if that may not be us. We wish you the absolute best in making such a big decision. You got this, you beautiful human!

WIth lots of love,
Christine & Emanuele
