From Us to You

Dear Expectant Mother,

If you’re reading this letter, it means our paths have crossed, and even if briefly, we are genuinely grateful. We hope to embark on a joyful journey together with you and your child. Thus, we’d like to share our story and hear about yours, whatever you feel comfortable sharing.

Our journey as a couple began in our 30s, and after years of friendship and a year of dating, we chose not to have children due to demanding work and school commitments. However, life has a way of surprising us, and we find ourselves ready and eager to embrace parenthood. We recognize the profound connection between all beings through love, and if you, an amazing and loving mother, are considering us to share in your child’s journey, we are honored.

Whether you choose us or not, we want you to know how proud we are of you—for being a mom, for giving birth, and for creating a life. If you decide to entrust us with your child, we commit to providing love, creating a safe and stable home, and being there every step of the way.

Your child’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being is our top priority. We want them to know that we are always here to support and figure things out together. Education will be a cornerstone of their life, with a focus on discovering and nurturing their unique talents.

Most importantly, we want your child to experience joy, richness, and all the wonders life has to offer. We envision a wonderful life for them, filled with beautiful memories that we’d be honored to share with you if you wish. Your child will always know about you—about your wonderful and selfless nature that led them into our lives.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Alina and John

Our Lifestyle

We like to stay active by taking walks and bike rides in our neighborhood a few times a week. We even have weekly dance lessons together. Trying new things is always fun for us, like the pottery class we recently enjoyed, and we might do more in the future.

When we go on vacations, we prefer being in nature, going for hikes, and taking walks on the beach. Our meals are usually simple and healthy, with grilled chicken, steak, or fish. Sometimes, we get a bit fancy with stews and rice. Salads are a must, and we treat ourselves to restaurant outings a few times a month. We enjoy Mexican, Asian, American, Middle Eastern, Persian, and Mediterranean food.

Regardless of our current lifestyle, we are prepared to adapt it according to the needs of our new family member. Your child is our top priority, and we will ensure that he/she is fully included in our lives.

Family Traditions

Our Saturdays unfold with a gentle pace, allowing us to savor the moments.

A stroll through our welcoming neighborhood follows, embracing the serenity of the surroundings.

Our Home

Nestled in a newly constructed neighborhood within an established and welcoming community, our home exudes a family-friendly atmosphere and ensures a high level of safety. It’s a joy to witness children playing outdoors, parents strolling with babies in strollers, and friendly dogs adding to the lively scene.

A local park, complete with a children’s playground, is just a short walk away, providing a perfect spot for outdoor activities. Convenience is at our doorstep, with a mere ten-minute drive to the shopping center, medical facilities, and local schools.

Our residence is a spacious 4-bedroom, two-story haven. We’ve adorned it with soft natural materials, embracing a warm minimalist design that exudes comfort and tranquility. Stepping into our backyard, you’ll find a fenced oasis featuring a swimming pool. To ensure safety, all doors leading to the backyard are equipped with alarms, especially due to the presence of the pool. Fruit trees, including oranges and limes, add a touch of nature to our outdoor space.

We envision countless playtimes with your child in our backyard and the friendly neighborhood, complemented by moments of warmth and affection within our home.

Our Extended Family

The richness of our extended family lies in its multicultural tapestry, offering a mosaic of perspectives and diverse conversations during our family gatherings. This is one of the many reasons we eagerly anticipate and hold hope for the arrival of a new member. Your child will not only be cherished but their heritage will be treated with the utmost respect and honor.

In addition to our human family members, our tiny dog holds a special place in our family dynamic and is a cherished attendee at all our gatherings.

Our parents visit a few times a year, and weekly conversations keep us closely connected. Visits from our sisters, as well as the proximity of some uncles, aunts, and cousins, add to the sense of family closeness.

Beyond blood relations, our circle of friends is expansive, and some are considered family. Gathering together involves a delightful mix of activities—from cooking meals to pool or spa days, playing music, dancing, and engaging in meaningful conversations. Our bonding extends to games, including a card game with thought-provoking questions, allowing us to delve deeper into each other’s opinions and feelings during special occasions.

Day trips and vacations with our close-knit group of friends add a touch of adventure and shared experiences to our lives, further enriching the fabric of our extended family.

Diversity

The allure of American, Asian, Mexican, Middle Eastern, and Persian cultures captivates us. While we may not be well-versed in the intricacies of each, we consider ourselves fortunate to be immersed in the rich tapestry of a multicultural country.

Living in this diverse environment, we’ve had the privilege of building connections with colleagues, friends, and families from various cultural backgrounds and races. We’ve actively participated in their cultural events, allowing us to gain insights and embrace the beauty of diversity.

When it comes to our child, we are committed to honoring and celebrating their heritage. We will embark on a journey of learning, educating, and joyfully embracing the richness that their cultural background brings into our lives.

Our Thoughts on Adoption

We are open to engaging in a heartfelt conversation about this important aspect of our lives. It is our utmost desire that our child understands the incredible, selfless nature of their birth mother, and we are willing to share photos if that aligns with her preferences.

The possibility of yearly visits is something we approach with thoughtful consideration, always keeping the well-being of our child at the forefront of our decisions. If, after careful deliberation, we believe that such visits would contribute positively to our child’s happiness and overall development, we are open to exploring this option based on the birth mother’s wishes and circumstances.

Our Beloved Companion, Luna

Luna is our delightful Maltese dog who holds a special place in our hearts. At 3 years old, Luna is not just a pet; she is our first baby, bringing immense joy and playfulness into our lives.

In the evenings, Luna shares our bed, snuggling with us until the middle of the night when she gracefully retreats to her own cozy spot. Come morning, she rejoins us, embodying the belief that she is as much a part of our family as anyone else.

Luna, in her canine charm, enjoys the simple pleasures of life. Our neighborhood park is her haven for walks, swings, and impromptu photo sessions. With her own Instagram account and a handful of loyal followers, Luna is a social media star.

She possesses a remarkable energy, happily walking for extended periods without tiring. Luna thrives on playtime, running through the house with unbridled enthusiasm. Her love for dinner and movie nights rivals our own, and she finds solace in the melodic tunes when my husband plays the guitar and sings.

While Luna isn’t a fan of swimming, she relishes a gentle bath, reveling in the attention and care we provide. When attending social gatherings, Luna takes a stylish seat in her stroller, ensuring her tiny frame is safe from accidental missteps. And, inevitably, everyone falls for her undeniable charm, captivated by her gorgeous and adorable presence.

Luna is more than a pet; she’s a cherished member of our family, filling our home with boundless love, laughter, and furry companionship.
