Dear Birthmother,
Dear Expectant Mother,
Thank you for taking the time to read our letter and for considering us as potential parents for your child. We admire your strength, courage, and the immense love it takes to consider adoption as part of your journey.
We are Maria and Serafino, and becoming parents through adoption has long been a dream of ours. Our hearts are open, and we are incredibly honored to be considered if you feel we are the right match for your child.
If given the opportunity, we promise to provide a loving, safe, and stable home where your child will be supported, celebrated, and encouraged to dream big. We will cherish the little moments, nurture their passions, and raise them to be kind, resilient, and deeply loved.
We have so much respect for you—for your strength, your love, and the thoughtfulness behind every decision you’re making. If you choose us, your child will always know how deeply they were loved by you, and how selfless your choice was.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for considering us on this journey.
With love and gratitude,
Maria & Serafino
Our Home
We live in a small suburban town that’s diverse, close-knit, and rich in Italian culture. Though smaller than surrounding areas, our community has so much to offer—great schools, shopping, a movie theater, bowling alley, parks, and a town pool. We’re lucky to have neighbors who feel more like extended family, always looking out for one another.
Our home has four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, with a fenced-in backyard filled with flowers, a vegetable garden, and peach, pear, and fig trees. Our 7-year-old Shihpoo, Lucky, brings so much joy to our lives.
We’ve built a stable and loving home—Maria has worked at a pharmaceutical company or 24 years, and Serafino has been with a landscaping business since 2020. It’s a beautiful place to raise a child.
Our Extended Family
We have a small, close-knit family that we love deeply. While Serafino’s family lives in Italy, we stay closely connected through weekly phone and WhatsApp calls. We currently live with Maria’s mom, who has always been her biggest supporter—and vice versa. Though Maria’s father passed away when she was 14, she holds many cherished memories of him.
We’re very close with Maria’s brother, sister-in-law, and niece, who live nearby in New Jersey. While we don’t see them daily, we talk often and spend meaningful time together. We’re also close with several cousins and their children, who lovingly call us Zia and Zio.
Maria has one goddaughter, now 18, and has been an important part of her life through many milestones.
Family traditions are a big part of our lives. We celebrate holidays together—especially Christmas Eve with the Feast of the Seven Fishes, games, desserts, and homemade Italian sausage. In August, we gather to make tomato sauce from scratch, a full-day event filled with laughter, teamwork, and memories.
These traditions are full of love, joy, and connection—and we can’t wait to share them with a child while also creating new ones together.
