NOW YOU KNOW OUR ABC'S...WE ARE READY TO EXPAND OUR FAMILY!

In the same way that it is impossible to capture in this brief letter all our hope and excitement of expanding our family, it is equally difficult to imagine all that you must be feeling. However, we do share the same goal -to provide the best possible life and future for your baby. We can assure you that your story of strength and courage will be shared. Your baby will know that you thought of their future in place of your own feelings, and gave us a gift of unequaled measure. You will remain in our thoughts and prayers as a person of true integrity.

Adoption in our eyes is built on the foundation of trust and understanding. We wish to honor the birthparents of our children with dignity and respect. We know each adoption story will be as unique as each individual child. We celebrate this!

We understand that placing a child in an adoptive home is a decision based on love and a desire to do what is best for your baby. We promise to ensure that you are always remembered with gratitude and respect in our family. Our hearts grew immensely when Noah's birthmother placed him in our arms. Tears of pure joy flowed freely. Our love for him is equaled to her love. We know that you care. We do too! If you choose us to be the parents of your child, you can trust us to provide a secure life of opportunities and a home that is filled with love.

We hope to instill in our children the values of compassion, respect for others, peace, and the deep commitment to care for the world around them. We hope this letter conveys our sentiment, and is only the beginning of a heartfelt connection. Whatever your decision, take care of yourself and be proud. You and your baby deserve the best. We wish for your heart to be peaceful.

Our home study is complete and favorable. Our adoption team (attorney and social worker) is very knowledgeable and understanding about adoption planning. They guided us through our first adoption and we regard them with utmost confidence. They would be pleased to answer any questions or concerns you may have about planning for your baby, or about us.
