Dear Birthmother,

I know we are two people who hardly know each other yet, For your courage, love and unselfishness, Please have no regret. The decision that you have made to give the greatest gift ever, In Your Heart the Mother-Child bond will live on forever. The Bravery of putting your child's life first, The pain so indescribable, you probably want to burst. I will always understand the pain and tears you cried. Both of Our hearts desire to nurture, love and guide. You Carry Your Child with love filled in your heart. Knowing that your lives would be lived apart. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this emotional and critical time. I encourage you to keep faith; these circumstances will turn out fine. With no marriage on the horizon and my career firmly in place. The only thing I feel that is missing is a child to embrace. Like Many other independent women in this age today, I want to be a single mother and share my love everyday. I know together and with God’s Help from Above, We will give your child’s life that special unconditional love. I Honor your courage and respect your adoption plan, I promise to raise your baby to be the best person they can. Thank you for your understanding and reading this letter, I know that choosing the right family will make us both feel better.

 As we all know, life does not always turn out as planned. I have wanted nothing more in my life than to be a mother, to love and nurture a child with all my heart. I always thought I would be married and have children in my home. Since that has not happened, I feel that I have to take charge of my life and try to find an alternate way to achieve my dream. Since I am very committed to sharing my life with a child I’d like to thank you for taking some time to learn about me. I am an operations manager at a Dental and Medical Distributor that sells products, equipment and pharmaceuticals to all types of physicians, surgery centers, hospitals and clinics.  I have had the opportunity to work with doctors and nurses in all fields of medicine. I first got interested in the medical field when I was a student at UCLA and started working at the UCLA Medical Center. I have been in the medical field since. I am very fortunate to have a job that understands the importance of family, and that family comes first.

I believe in school, a college education and lifelong learning. Since I want to provide a sense of security for my child, the college fund I have begun is a plan to give my child every opportunity to reach their potential and teach them to strive to be the best person they can possibly be. Your child will always know they are loved and cared for, not only financially, but also emotionally. Many values that I learned as a child, such as respect, individuality, kindness, honesty, and giving selflessly to others I look forward to sharing with my child.

I vow to raise your child in a loving and nurturing home, and to give them the tools necessary for a happy and productive future. I welcome open adoption, and would be happy to share pictures and updates with you so that you may feel comfortable and see for yourself that you have made the right choice in selecting me as your child’s role model. I will honor whatever level of contact you may wish to have. I look forward to experiencing the joys of parenthood, and also anticipate the many challenges. I take this responsibility seriously and hope to teach your child good values, compassion for others, and gratitude for life’s gifts. I will love your child deeply and will share all of the wonderful things that life has to offer. I also know that your child will show me what I have been missing in my life. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. The decision you will make is a brave one, and I respect you immensely for it.
