Dear Birthmother,
We can't put into words how difficult this decision must be for you. There is no way that we can know what you are going through. We know that you must be experiencing a range of emotions, all valid and understandable. Making this decision requires love, strength, and bravery, which you should be admired for.
Should you choose us, we promise to raise the baby in a loving household surrounded by close family and friends. Whether grilling s'mores over a campfire or visiting various national parks, he or she will be imprinted with a sense of wonder and adventure in the world around them. Christian faith will be a cornerstone of their values, with the importance of helping others instilled from an early age. Education is very important to the both of us, and as such we promise to promote and support a questioning attitude as they grow up.
We wish you the best with making your decision and hope that it truly brings you peace. Should you choose us, we would be honored and forever grateful. It will be our life's mission to ensure that you are confident and proud of your decision to choose us as parents for your child.
Our Home
We live in a three-bedroom split-level home in a college town in coastal southeast Virginia. We love spending time in our backyard, whether it be gardening or cooking s'mores over our fire pit. We have a dog named Lula who we rescued from a local animal shelter and she is very much a part of our family. Our neighborhood is safe, tight-knit, and family-oriented. Children can safely walk to school and play with their friends without worry. The surrounding areas include many enriching activities, such as museums, amusement parks, and historic sites. There are also several beaches and parks close by to enjoy outdoor activities.
Our Extended Family
We grew up in loving and close families, which have had a tremendous impact on our upbringing. Both of our families live close by, which affords us the opportunity to continue our strong relationships.
Eric grew up in Pennsylvania before relocating to Virginia. He is an only child but views his cousins as his siblings. Some of his most enduring memories are those with his grandparents. As they got older, Eric's grandparents moved into the same home, which furthered their strong bond. Looking back, it was the simple traditions that made the largest impact, whether it was watching Penn State or Eagles football games on the weekend, having regular family dinners, or celebrating various holidays.
Emily was raised close to where we currently reside. She has an older sister with whom she still maintains a strong bond. Emily's grandparents also had a huge impact on her upbringing. One of Emily's favorite memories is celebrating her grandfather's birthday on Christmas Eve.
These are just a few of the traditions, memories, and strong family bonds that have made us into who we are today.
