Dear Expectant Mother,
We truly admire your courage in considering adoption, and
also your love for your unborn child. We hope you’ll get to know us, and that
this will give you comfort in knowing your child will receive unconditional
love and guidance for the rest of his or her life. We believe in a God who
shows up, who listens, and loves you. We are praying for you. We will never
forget your selfless decision and your gift of adoption will be met with
profound gratitude. We chose to adopt, since our son Ethan entered our life as
a teenager. We ended up adopting him. He has enriched our lives, and has been a
big blessing to us. We can’t wait to include your child in our circle of love.
We were also respite caregivers to our neighbor’s three
girls, while his wife battled cancer for three years. Since her passing, the
children’s grandparents have moved in to help out. We love the girls, and they
love us, and come visit often. They especially loved following Elvin, as he
went about his daily work. They thought it great fun to help Mary cook and
bake. In between, they rocked their dolls, or played with our dogs. They really
cheered if Ethan was home from work. The girls loved hearing stories we read to
them. Mary still volunteers at their school. She thrives in a life that
includes children, listening to Ethan sing, cheering him on, admiring him while
he helps the neighbor’s children bake or sew. Elvin makes sure he spends
one-on-one time with our son daily. He always spends plenty of time with him,
whether it’s a listening ear, encouragement, hiking together in the woods, or
attending farm auctions together. He’ll also take time to jump rope with the
girls. We can’t wait to include your child in all of our daily fun and
activities.
We hope to teach your child that there is a God, and to
respect others and themselves. We also hope to instill in your child the
ability to give and receive love. We promise you that we will provide a life
filled with unconditional love, joy and many opportunities. Thank you for viewing
our profile and considering our family.
We sincerely wish you a lifetime of peace and happiness.
Elvin & Mary
