Thank you for the opportunity to introduce ourselves to you. My name is Suzy. My husband Carmine and I just celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary. We met 15 years ago and I often joke with Carmine that he was just a baby when we met. I am three years older than him. For me it was almost love at first sight. There was something about him and I made it a point to meet him that very day. Carmine wasn’t as easily persuaded as me. We didn’t start dating until 3 months later, but 8 months after that he asked me to marry him. We like different foods and different music but here we are 15 years later, still crazy in love with each other.
What a special person you are to consider the gift of adoption. We realize that you have made a courageous and selfless decision in your desire to provide your baby with a happy, secure home full of love and laughter. We promise to provide such a home. We have been married for 5 years. In 2001, after several fertility treatments, our beautiful son Tommy was born. At age 3 months he was diagnosed with a seizure disorder. We lost our beloved little boy last year at age 19 months. While our loss is indescribable, it has drawn us closer and strengthened our resolve to be parents. We have since been unable to have more children. We hope that we will be parents again someday and when that occurs, we will cherish each day with our child. We have so much to offer a child and promise to provide a loving, stable and happy home.
Love, encouragement, support and laughter are what your child will receive each and every day as a member of our family. It is important to us that we acknowledge you and how incredibly difficult this decision must be for you. Please know that by selecting us we will continue to acknowledge your strength and love for your baby as he or she grows. Your gift to us is one that we will cherish forever.
We have always held a desire to bring children into our family, and since our courtship we discussed our hope someday to adopt children into our home. We have always believed that adoption is a wonderful approach to growing a family, and we are excited to be in the position to actively pursue this dream. We have a strong desire to be parents, to multiply the love, and fill our home with childhood wonder. We are equipped and excited to meet your child’s needs emotionally, financially, spiritually and intellectually.
There are so many things we want to say to you but there really are not enough words to express how grateful we are to you for giving us the chance to make our dreams a reality. We cannot imagine how difficult your journey has been to get to where you are now but we want you to know how humbled we are by your kindness, selflessness, courage and strength. Our names are Karen and Charlie and we hope to be able to ‘paint’ a picture of who we are and try to bring to life what you can only see right now in a photograph.
Thank you for the immeasurable love you have, for your child’s happiness. We humbly come to you in true amazement at your courage and selflessness in placing your child up for adoption. We want to express our gratitude to you for allowing us the opportunity to love, care and provide a safe environment for your baby. We will always love and protect your child and we will pray for your happiness and safety.
While we can’t sit here and tell you that we understand what you are going through or know how you came to this decision, we can tell you that we will be forever grateful to you if you choose us and allow us to start the family that we have dreamt of for so long. We, sincerely, wish you the best of luck in making your decision and in your life and future.
Gary is an Accountant and Donna is a mom and a teacher for Grace. Our hobbies include cooking, reading, music, travel, and sports. Grace and mom play everyday, whether it is Barbie’s, Polly Pockets, Sweet Streets, or American Girl Dolls. Those are her favorite doll games. I am thankful to be a stay-at-home mom. We also love do to “Arts and Crafts.” Gary looks forward to reading to her every night. This is their “snuggle time” on the couch together. I love to see her face as “daddy” is reading her a story with a lot of drama in it. Without a doubt, she can sense she is important to her daddy. Besides all the girl things we do, we could easily do “boy things” too. We could go see Thomas the Train, look for bugs, build towers with Lego’s, go camping, or play T-ball.
We unassumingly thank you for considering us as your child’s loving Mommy and Daddy. We wholeheartedly sympathize with what you are going through and hope to express that your gift to us will not be taken carelessly. Your decision is not an easy one and should be accompanied with the comforting sentiment that we long for the miracle of life and have planned our lives with this as our utmost priority.
Our love story began eight years ago, when we were introduced by mutual friends. We were amazed at how much we had in common! We each love to play tennis, golf, and take trips to the beach, and we can each say that we married our best friend. We spend most of our free time outdoors playing- we have so much fun together and we laugh non-stop! Living an active life full of sports, outdoor activities, and travel will be a fundamental part of our child’s life.
We are city kids who now live in our dream home in the country. We love the peace and quiet we experience in the country and often spend our evenings on the back porch listening to the sounds of nature, and talking about our life and our dreams. We share our five-bedroom home with our beloved pets, two dogs named Stubbs and Bluebell, and three cats named Olive, Rocky, and Puddin’.
“All things happen for a reason.” Mike and I cannot count the number of times in the past several years that we have heard this phrase expressed by loved ones. As we are writing this letter to you, we finally understand its significance. Perhaps the reason that things have happened in all of our lives has been for us to meet. You have such an incredible gift to give. What a selfless act you are completing to place your child for adoption. We would embrace the chance to bring that gift, your child, into our home to love, care for, and cherish, all the while being eternally grateful to you, the child’s birthmother, for allowing us the opportunity to complete our family.
Our names are Ben and Michelle. We are trying to fulfill our dreams of having a family. We know what a tough decision this must be for you. Please know we will be with you all the way and even into the future; you will always remain a part of our family. The love in our hearts is so great and we know a child will only make our love even stronger. It is an unselfish gift you are giving and we are ever so grateful. This is our story.
It was a moment we will never forget. It was the moment we made the decision to adopt and complete our family. We were at the beach and we met the sweetest little girl. She helped our boys build a sandcastle and we later discovered that she had been adopted. We learned her story from her adoptive mother. Her story struck our hearts. We had longed for a daughter for several years, and this was the day our dream would turn into the journey that has led us to you.
We want you to know that we think you are very courageous. The decision you are making is a difficult one. We know that our hearts are open to you and the child you’re carrying. Trust your heart and you will pick the couple that will deeply love your child.We appreciate the seriousness of the decision you are making. We are very spiritual people. We trust that God will guide you during this time. The family you choose will be the best match for you and for the child inside of you. We promise to love, cherish and honor your choice and the child for always.
