Dear Expectant Mother
I want you to know how impressed I am that you are willing to give life
to your child and do what is right for him or her.
I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to tell you a little about myself
and, I hope, make your decision a bit easier. My name is Kim and I would
love to offer your baby (or babies!) a place at the center of a secure,
loving home with a single mom. Let me tell you a little about how your
child would be raised as a member of our family. He or she will have two
active and enthusiastic grandparents who are happy to babysit, play and
go to the amusement park or the movies. He or she will have an uncle (my
younger brother) and aunt, along with two wonderful boy cousins who are
looking forward to having a new cousin to play with.
My brother is a wonderful, involved father who will provide an active,
loving - and fun! - father figure for the baby. He or she will also be
surrounded by our large, close family that includes fourteen cousins and
all their children!! We all believe that children grow and flower when
they feel safe, and when they know they are loved no matter what. Your
baby will definitely feel that love and support from my whole family.
I am financially secure, with a graduate degree from Harvard, and live
in my own home in a beautiful New England town with excellent schools.
The baby will love playing in the big park nearby, and taking part in
all the activities the town sponsors for children, such as a Halloween
costume parade, Easter Egg Hunt and Christmas Caroling. Although it is
quiet and suburban, it is only an hour from New York City, so we can take
advantage of all the cultural opportunities there.
My home is located in a neighborhood with lots of other children, from
infants to grade-schoolers. There is a large lawn for running and playing,
and also a private, neighborhood pool where moms, dads and kids all love
to gather in the summer. The nursery is a large, sunny room-in fact, it's
the biggest bedroom in my home!
I will be a single mom and I will be working outside the home. However,
I have taken steps to keep my job from intruding into our family. Last
fall, I found a position just 10 minutes from home at a very family-friendly
company. We have children's parties at the office, kids and pets visit
all the time, and we take a company trip each summer to a local amusement
park with our children. I will have an extended leave so I can stay home
when the baby is young, and when I go back to work, I will have a full-time
nanny to stay home with him or her during the day and to give lots of
one-on-one love and attention.
I hope this information will help make your decision a bit easier. I will
always respect your decision and would communicate that to your child
as he or she grows older. I know adoptive families have all kinds of relationships,
and I am open to your ideas about what might be best. Thank you for considering
me as an adoptive mom. I hope you have a healthy pregnancy and I wish
you and your child all the best with whatever decision you make.
