First and foremost we would like to extend our deepest respect to you. Hello! We are Jeremy and Dana; a fun loving, big hearted, down-to-earth couple. Our story began almost ten years ago in Lake Tahoe and it was love at first sight. We instantly became best friends and spent every moment together snow skiing, kayaking, camping, dining, laughing and most important falling deeply in love! We later moved to Dana’s home state of Texas and were married in 2002 in a small storybook wedding ceremony. We bought a four bedroom home with the hopes of filling it with the pitter patter of little feet. This would not be possible for us without the gift of adoption. Thank you for considering us to be the loving family for your child. Trust that your child will be encircled and protected by a halo of love.
I am not usually at a loss for words, but this is an exception. I am a little nervous writing this. I have been staring at this page for fifteen minutes now. I am writing a letter to a face I cannot see, a voice I cannot hear, and a person I do not yet know. It is a little intimidating. I cannot imagine what you must be feeling. What is most humbling to me is that you are the person who could change our lives as we know it forever. Words cannot express how in awe I am of your courage and character. What a special person you are. I guess my job here is to let you know who we are, so here goes…..
We can’t begin to understand what you must be feeling as you read this letter. You have made a very courageous and loving decision to place your child for adoption. This is obviously not an easy decision, and we know that you have been through an agonizing period wrestling with what is best. We are so grateful that you have chosen to give your child life.
There really isn’t a way to express our thoughts on paper to describe the amazement we feel for your courageousness. We can assure you that the gracious and selfless act you are about to undertake will allow you to visualize your child being raised as our own, in a supportive, stable, and nurturing environment.
Jeff and I are eager to share the joy of watching a child grow and become his/her own person. As you journey through your process, know that we journey with you. We may be on a different road but there will always be a path that connects those roads…a child. May you have peace in your heart and mind as you take the next step in your journey.
We are fortunate to live in a home with a large yard and enjoy spending time in the summers tending to our organic vegetable and flower gardens. Produce from our garden is a frequent ingredient in our summer meals. Travel is also important to us, and we try to take a family trip somewhere fun at least twice a year. We also enjoy art, architecture, and home arts and crafts projects.
Belly laughs and butterfly kisses, bedtime stories and morning hugs, sandcastles and snowmen…these are a few of our favorite things. Thank you for sharing your miracle of life. You are a remarkable person for the choices that you’ve made. We hope to have an opportunity to share with you the love that binds our family together.
It’s incredibly exciting to think that you may be the one who is our baby’s birthmother. How do we approach you? What words can we say? A mere ‘hello’ at this point is all we can say for now. But, if you’ve begun to read our letter, perhaps there’s a reason.
We recently moved into a larger home with the anticipation of starting a family. It is in a gorgeous neighborhood that has a pond with ducks. We have a nice backyard with plenty of room to play and a pool that we enjoy in the summer. The nursery room is mostly prepared also! It has light blue walls with a large tree painted behind the crib and lots of clouds throughout. We will wait to buy the bedding so we will know whether to decorate in pink or blue! The community that we live in has exemplary schools and is very family oriented with lots of parks, biking trails, and organized family activities.
Tim and I are very excited about the possibility of becoming adoptive parents. We realize that our dream to have a baby depends on someone special like you. Please be reassured that our baby will know the courage and unselfish love of his or her birthmother. Through this letter, we hope you will get to know us and realize what special and unconditional love we will give to your baby.
We can’t even begin to imagine how difficult this time is for you and we pray that the Lord will be with you and give you strength and comfort in your time of need. We want you to know we have a lot of respect for you and the decision you are making for your baby. We can’t even begin to express how much we want to be parents…
Love. Laughter. Learning. Fun. Reading Green Eggs and Ham. Apple picking on a fall day. Snow tubing and hot chocolate with whipped cream. That’s how we roll! Deana has the most amazing sense of humor and Max has a kind and gentle heart. We are excited to share this, ourselves, our love of adventure and so much more with a child. Our hearts and home are open and ready to welcome your child and begin this journey…
The celebrated Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw once observed, “A happy family is but an earlier heaven.” Our family ties are incredibly strong. From the times of our births to humble but happy, hardworking families, we have both been blessed by the steadfast love and support of devoted parents. It is our dream to pass along our parents’ enduring example of compassion, patience, charity, and responsibility to a child of our own.
We believe God has chosen a different pathway…one that leads us to you.
