Dear Birthmother,

Dear Expectant Mother,

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter and to get to know us and our hearts. There are no words that can express the difficult decision you are facing. We can not even begin to imagine all the emotions you must be feeling while navigating this process, and words cannot express our gratitude for your strength, courage, and selflessness. In the hope of easing your mind and aiding in this life-changing decision, we have two promises we’d like to make to you, if you bless us with this gift.

First, we promise to love, care for, provide for, and pursue your child every single day for the rest of our lives. There is literally nothing we would not do for them and literally nothing they could ever do to change our love for them. They will be accepted into our home by our families, friends, and community, and they will be loved for who they are as a human being.

Second, we promise to fully respect and engage with whatever level of openness you desire. We promise to walk side by side with you through this journey of loss, pain, joy, love, and tears to whatever degree you would have us. We fully understand the complexity of this situation and want what is best for your child and you.

Sincerely,
Cassie, Zach, and Slate
