Dear Birthmother,

Dear Expectant Mother,

Thank you for looking at my profile. I imagine that this has been an overwhelming and emotional time, and I appreciate you taking the time to look at my information.

I have always wanted to be a mother and assumed that at some point I would get married and start a family. As I concentrated on getting my PhD, I never found a partner whom I wanted to marry, but I don't want to give up my dream of being a mother. With my endometriosis, my doctor advises me not to try to get pregnant, and since I grew up in a neighborhood surrounded by adopted children, adoption seems like a logical path toward fulfilling my dream of motherhood.

I want you to know that if you choose me, I will strive to ensure that your child grows up feeling loved by both me and my extended family. I will provide your child with a safe, stable, and nurturing environment where they can grow, explore their passions, and always feel deeply supported.

I am open to keeping you involved in whatever way you prefer, including emails, phone calls, or visits. Even if you choose not to have continuing contact with me and the child, they will grow up knowing that a loving mother allowed me to adopt them and that I am eternally grateful for the gift you have given me.

Thank you for considering me as your child's adoptive mother.

With gratitude,
Nicole


Home

My Home

I live in a newly built house with my two cats. I chose this area because the neighborhood is surrounded by a nature preserve and a stream, so even though I live in a city, my neighborhood is small (just four streets) and surrounded by nature, creating a safe place for kids to ride their bikes and play in each other's yards. My cats like to keep me company wherever I go in the house, sitting on my lap when I work from home or relax in the evening. My deck is screened in so that I don't need to worry about the cats interacting with the deer, turkeys, rabbits, and other wildlife that roam the area.


Extended Family

My Extended Family

My family (mom, dad, sister, niece, and nephew) is very close—talking and texting multiple times each week. My niece and nephew both play a lot of soccer, and I love to watch their games. When I am invited to speak at a conference (about twice a year), I like to bring a family member with me to see the sights. In this way, my sister and I went to France/Germany, and my parents visited Hawaii with me this past year. Traveling with my family is always fun!
My mom's extended family is very large, with over 80 aunts, uncles, and cousins. I spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with part of the family, playing football in the snow and board games by the fire, eating good food, and listening to stories told by my aunts and uncles. We try to all get together at a park in the summer since we won't all fit in the house for a big holiday party like we had when I was little.
As soon as I told my aunts and uncles that I was hoping to adopt, they jumped into action, asking what they could do to help. Even though we are already large, my entire family is excited to welcome a new member!
