First of all we would like to thank you for the gifts of life and love that you are giving your baby. The decision you have made in choosing adoption for your child is the most courageous and unselfish act a person can make. We hope that after reading about us and getting a glimpse of our life, you will discover how committed we are to be nurturing, loving parents.
We are Rod and Lori, and we are excited at the opportunity to share a little bit about ourselves with you through this letter. Wow, how does someone go through all the “Dear Birthmother” letters and pick a potential adoptive family? The truth is, we cannot begin to imagine how difficult this must be for you. We can only hope that our letter might provide some encouragement and hope.
You must be nervous and scared. We are. But we are SO excited too. We never imagined having to ask you, to pick us, to adopt your child, but after 5 years of pursuing our parenting dream on our own, we are turning to you. We can’t put into words what this means to us, and how this will impact both of our lives. We can’t begin to understand what you are feeling or what you are going through. Please know that we are very proud of you for having the strength and compassion to carry this baby and allow us to adopt your child. We know this is a very difficult decision, and we promise to make it a great decision. There is so much raw emotion – for you and us – and what we want to say most of all is that becoming parents is our dream and means more to us than anything else. We will provide a wonderful life for your child and love him/her as our own.
Even though we have never met, I feel a definite kinship with you because I too have experienced an unplanned pregnancy. At age 17 I became pregnant and I vividly remember the feelings of fear, uncertainty, and sheer desperation. The road you are taking is the one less traveled…It is the road of courage and selflessness. We honor and applaud your valor and strength of character. God bless you for your decision to give your baby and yourself the lives that you both deserve.
“Twinkle, Twinkle, little star, how we’ve wondered who you are”. Countless nights we have prayed that God would bestow another angel we can watch giggle and play. We have an unknown cause of infertility that has prevented us from having children of our own. When a door closes a window is opened, adoption has been that window for us.
Growing our family through adoption is not unfamiliar to us – several of our friends have adopted children – thus, we have been witnesses to genuine families arising from the generous and selfless gift that someone much like yourself gave. Your choice is by far one of strength and courage. We promise to honor your decision every moment by loving your child as the greatest gift anyone could offer us.
If I’m lucky enough to raise your child this gift will be remembered with deep gratitude every day of our lives. I promise to devote my life to your child, love them unconditionally, keep them safe, help them to be happy, and most importantly, understand the selfless love you…
Thank you for giving us this opportunity to introduce ourselves, express our admiration for you and tell you about our longing to have a child. The decision you have made is a remarkably selfless act as you are thinking about the well-being and future happiness of your child. There are few people who unselfishly consider the happiness of another before their own. We know that taking this step and helping us fulfill our dreams requires unbelievable strength. It is this combination of generosity and strength that astounds us.
We promise that your child will have a life full of love, happiness, and the support of family that will love them unconditionally.
What a life changing event we are all involved in! You have un-selflessly chosen the miracle of life for your child, which means that we are all at the beginning of a wonderful journey, a journey to provide this child with a loving environment where his or her interests will be nurtured. Placing your child with adoptive parents, who are strangers to you now, is an experience that we can only imagine. We are grateful that you are willing to make such a brave decision.
My name is Karen and my husband is Andre. I can’t even express to you the hope you’ve given us. For so many people, the journey to becoming a parent is fairly quick and easy. Not so for us. It hasn’t been easy at all. It has tested us in every way and I am relieved to say that we come to this place with our marriage stronger than it’s ever been. In difficult times, people really find out who they are, what they are made of and how much they are loved by their spouses and family.
| Although I can´t relate to what you are going through at this moment, I know it is a period of emotional turmoil for you and that how you envision your life isn´t necessarily the way it unfolds. I greatly admire your courage in choosing adoption and giving your child the ultimate gift of love. My mother gave me a good enough foundation by her never-ending love and devotion to her children that I know that I will carry those qualities to my daughter and be a strong, positive influence as a mother. |
Words cannot describe the emotions we are feeling right now as we present ourselves to you. You truly are one of the bravest and most gracious women we will ever meet. We are truly in awe of you and your strength for making the most challenging and loving decision.
We are Ron and Lizbeth and we want to thank you for the brave and selfless decision you are making. We cannot express the joy and love you will be bringing to our family if you choose us to raise your baby. We thank you with all our hearts for the possibility of making our dreams of parenting come true. We can not imagine how difficult a decision this is and admire you for your courage, bravery, and strength. We are a loving couple with strong family values and a strong relationship that is built on love and mutual respect. We are extremely excited to share our life, values, goals and dreams with your future child.
Although we have no idea what you are going through right now, we do know what a blessing adoption is, as Tim is adopted! Our home is filled with love, laughter and happiness. Having a daughter would add so much to our lives and we would cherish her always. We are hopeful that we will have more children and we hope that our home will be the one that you will choose. Whatever your decision, thank you for taking the time to get to know us. God bless you.
