Dear Birthmother,

This letter has been one of the most challenging parts for us to write. How can we convey the immense gratitude and admiration we feel for a woman we’ve never met through these words on a page? Believe us when we say we feel incredibly honored to even be considered as the potential parents of your precious baby.

Much like you, this was not a decision we made lightly. We have been preparing ourselves emotionally, relationally, and financially to be parents for a long time. As parents, we would strive to follow your example in loving this child as selflessly as you have. We plan to honor your sacrifice and give them every opportunity to discover their gifts and chase their dreams. While no one can predict what will come their way, it would be our goal as parents to provide, protect, support, and unconditionally love our children through every twist and turn. Dear mama, our hearts are full and ready to pour into a little one, and we would love the opportunity to cherish your child for the rest of our lives.

Thank you for your strength, bravery, and fierce determination. We are so in awe of you. Your road and choices were anything but easy, and you will always be a hero in our eyes, whether or not you choose us.

With love,
Cory and Erin
