Dear Expectant Mom

Dear Expecting Mother/Parents –

We would like to, first of all, thank you for taking the time to read this letter to learn more about our family and us. We appreciate your consideration in making this difficult and courageous decision. As parents of an adoptive son, we can tell you that the happiness that your gift will bring to a family is one of the greatest joys that you could ever provide. Without the selfless gift of another caring individual as yourself, Mary Beth and I would not have experienced the pleasure of holding our son for the first time and the delights that we have encountered over the past eight years.

My name is Chad. I was born and raised in Iowa before moving to Florida. I have an older brother who still lives in the Midwest and has a beautiful family with four children. Our son, Luke, enjoys spending time with his cousins in the summer and during the holidays when we can get together. I am in the Information Security field and work for a company that allows me the opportunity to work out of the house. In my leisure time, I enjoy cooking (anything from an exotic meal to grilling and barbecue in the backyard), riding my bike, scouting activities, watching sports live or on television and enjoying time with the family. I am lucky enough to have my parents living in the area so that we can get together not only for birthdays and holidays but throughout the year.

Mary Beth was born and raised in Florida. She has multiple family members that live in the area that we love to spend time with including her mom, sister, nephew, and cousins. Mary Beth works in the sales industry and also has the flexibility provided to her that a home office allows. She enjoys staying active with many sports activities such as running, playing golf, beating me in tennis, and playing volleyball when time permits.

Mary Beth and I met in 2004 and married in 2006. We built a beautiful home with ample space and activity areas in a great community and school district to raise our family together. After years of trying to have a child, we discovered that is was not going to be possible without the assistance of the kindness of others such as yourself. In 2010 we were blessed with the gift of our son Luke through adoption.

Luke is excited about the opportunity of being a big brother. He is looking forward to helping with the significant responsibilities such as reading bedtime stories, explaining the fine art of Lego building (when the time comes), and knowing where the good snacks are kept in the pantry.

We are a Christian family that believes in giving thanks in appreciation to all that we have been awarded. We are also active in giving back to our community and helping others whenever possible. Our family takes full advantage of the beautiful weather and opportunities that living in Florida allows; enjoying the pool, beach or any of the local and area attractions. When we are not enjoying what our state has to offer, the entire family loves traveling to other parts of this country as well as to other countries to experience different areas and cultures. Back in the day Luke was the only 6-month-old I knew with his own passport full of stamps.

We are excited about the opportunity to add to our family once again through the miracle that is adoption and allow Luke to enjoy the process that brought him into our lives first hand and will enable him to be a big brother.

With love,
Chad, Mary Beth, and Luke

Q: Do you have pets? If so, tell us about them.
A: We have a kitty cat named Mac. He is a black and white tuxedo and is very loving and patient with us and Luke, our son.

Q: What do you hope to teach your child(ren)?
A: We want to teach them the importance of family, spirituality, kindness to others, and a work ethic and moral compass that will help succeed later in life.

Q: What will you tell your child about his or her birthmom?
A: We will ensure that they are aware of the generosity of her to provide such a precious gift to our family. They will know that the love that she has for them is special and she cares about him/her very much.

Q: Are you active in your church? Tell us about your activities.
A: We attend church in our city along with many of our friends including our son’s god parents.

Q: How will a child enrich your life?
A: The gift of a child will allow us to grow the warmth of our family which has already been blessed once with adoption. We want our son to experience first-hand the selfless act that brought him to us as he becomes a big brother.
