Dear Birth Parent(s),

Thank you so much for reading our profile. We can only imagine how difficult this time may be for you. We admire your decision to try to find the best possible family and future for your child. This is certainly one of the most unselfish and generous acts in the world.

Our names are Henry and Ami and we have been thinking about adopting a second child for well over a year. We adopted our daughter, Jamie with the help of American Adoptions almost two years ago and we can barely remember what our lives were like before she stole our hearts! We knew we were ready to be parents and we had no doubt that we would happily take care of those middle of the night feedings and poopy diapers, but we had no idea of the intensity of love we would feel for this little baby. We absolutely adore one another, but the love we feel for Jamie is beyond any love we've ever experienced. We want so much for her: to be happy with her life, have loving family and friends to always support her and help her make wise decisions; to be kind and thoughtful to others; to receive a good education; to try many different activities and find what she feels passionate about; the list goes on and on. One thing that we know for sure…we could give all of that to Jamie and still have so much to give to another child as well.

We have become very close with a number of adoptive families and feel so grateful that adopting another child is an option for us so our family can grow. Both of us grew up with a sibling who we are very close with today. We would love to give that gift of companionship and family to two children so they can have their own special, loving relationship that only brothers and/or sisters share. We want to raise another child alongside Jamie so they can play together at the beach, cheer one another on at games, recitals, plays, concerts, or whatever activities they enjoy and want to pursue, and spend holidays and weekends playing with their cousins and friends from our neighborhood.

Jamie was born in Florida to two people that we are forever grateful to. Their decision to place their 'angel' in our hands changed our lives in ways we could have never imagined. Immediately upon returning home from Florida, we opened a college fund for her and then opened our home to a parade of friends, family and neighbors - all who called us and sent us emails while we were in Florida exclaiming their congratulations, giving advice and wanting to know when we were going to get home so they could meet Jamie in person.

Just like that first week, we are continually planning ahead for Jamie's future and planning day to day activities. We are very committed to adopting another child so the two children will love each other, help each other, and look out for one another. Ami is her brother David's greatest fan as Henry is for Melissa. We would love for Jamie and her brother or sister to have that bond.

Our wish is to share our lives and happiness with another child. We value family, kindness, honesty, thoughtfulness, and generosity. We are at a place in our lives where we can offer two children the best education, support, guidance and life experiences possible. Your child will be safe, well-cared for and loved by us and Jamie, as well as our family and friends.

Please know that if we are chosen, your child will be raised with the knowledge that he or she has not one but two sets of parents that love him or her so very much. Jamie often looks at pictures taken at the hospital where she was born and hears the story of her adoption. We always tell her how much her birth parents love her and want her to have the best life possible.

We will gladly send you pictures and letters so you can hear how your child is growing and changing. We will always portray you in the most positive light. It is your selflessness and thoughtfulness that will forever remain in our hearts and minds.

Thank you for considering our family.

With Warmest Regards,

Henry & Ami
