Dear Birthmother,

We first would like to thank you for considering bringing us into both your and your baby’s lives. Creating an adoption plan is a truly selfless act of love, and we are forever grateful for your courage. Raising a family of our own has always been our hope. We have always desired to build our own branch in our family’s trees and continue on with our family story.

The time we spend together as a couple is so wonderfully varied. We are each other’s rock, biggest supporter, favorite comedian, and best friend. We have a love of travel and have seen much of the U.S. together, judging each location based on the quality of food (of course), but we also enjoy our time spent at home, whether we are cooking out with family and friends or just enjoying a good Netflix binge. It’s hard to pin down what we love to do most because we always have fun together.

We hope to take on this great responsibility and honor to nurture their self-esteem, curiosity for life, and love of others. There is a quote from author Jess Lair that encompasses our feelings on raising a child: “Children are not things to be molded but are people to be unfolded.” We move forward in life side by side and are forever hopeful and incredibly excited to build our family with you.
