Dear Birthmother,

I want to begin by expressing my absolute gratitude for you and your brave consideration. I can’t imagine what a difficult decision this must be for you. Adoption is one of the most selfless acts. I want you to know, if you choose me, your baby will be loved unconditionally, not only by me but my entire family. My cousins, friends, and I can’t wait for the many playdates we will have together with our kids. Grandma and Grandpa have plans to be my primary caregivers, which means no daycare but extra love and spoiling.

Years ago, I dated someone who had a two-year-old daughter. We did everything together, from apple picking and pumpkin patches to even making our own homemade crayons and cookies. Our close bond together has never stopped. At 16 years old now, we still talk and get together often. I can’t wait to do these things and many more with my future child.

I can promise you, should you bless me by making me a mom, your baby will be cherished with love and compassion every single day. My home will always be filled with love and laughter. Your child’s needs will always be put first, and I will always love him or her more than words can express. I will never be able to thank you enough for the sacrifice you made by making my biggest dream come true.
