Dear Birthmother,

Dear Expectant Mother,

We are overwhelmed with gratitude and appreciation when we think of the generosity and selflessness you are demonstrating. We cannot express enough how much we admire your ability to place your trust in us as prospective parents of your baby. We are truly humbled by the opportunity to accept your precious gift. We understand this cannot be an easy decision and want you to know we will do all we can to live up to your example.

Having both an uncle and a nephew who were adopted into our family, we have been able to witness firsthand the benefits this option will offer. Even though we have experienced examples of adoption up close and personal, it is still a choice we have not made lightly. While we are anxious to be parents, we want to make this decision with everyone’s best interests at heart: yours, ours, and, most importantly, the baby’s.

Words are not enough to express how deeply we are indebted to you for considering us as the potential family for your little one. We are sincerely grateful for your sacrifice and will work tirelessly to be worthy if selected.

Love always,
Craig and Layna
