Dear Birth Parent(s),

Hi. We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. We admire and respect your courage in this very difficult decision and understand you hold your child's best interests at heart. We would like to express our gratitude to you for considering us as prospective adoptive parents and taking the time to read our letter and learn more about us and our lives. Hopefully the following can make your decision a little bit easier.

Our names are Robert (Rob) & Rosalind (Roz). We just recently celebrated our 20th anniversary. We had met on a blind date set up by one of Rob's friends and Roz's older sister who were dating at the time and now also are married. We truly have become each other's best friend. We enjoy spending time with one another and try to do as many activities together that time will allow. Since the time we had dated we had shared the same dreams of one day owning our own home and starting our family. We have been fortunate enough to reach one of those goals, but we both know that something is missing. The sounds of those little feet running throughout the house, the laughter, even the cries would make our lives complete. We have so much love to share and would be honored to be able to share that love with your child.

Meeting our other goal in life has been extremely difficult. We had become pregnant several times but all had ended with misfortune. It was very difficult for us to come off of such a high in our lives to only be left with disappointment and sadness. But, we always kept hope alive until even becoming pregnant became another hurdle to overcome. We had undergone several infertility treatments to no avail. That is when we thought of looking into adoption. Through a co-worker of Rob's, who has gone through this process along with his wife, we received information and resources about the adoption process. That is when we decided this is such a wonderful opportunity. We realized that nothing but good could come out of this process for everyone involved. We truly believe that adopting a child is what god had in mind for us and understand what an amazing blessing it would be to do what we always wanted to do. We have both dreamed of the day that we would become parents and promise that you can rest assured that your child will receive our unconditional love and support. We are truly looking forward to the days when we can take your child to the parks and fairs, go on our annual vacations the beach, share play dates with friends, dressing him/her up for Halloween, going to the many sporting events we love to attend, and of course our annual fishing day we share with our many nieces and nephews at our home along with their parents and our friends. This especially has become a tradition to us since it is one of the things we are able to do to bring huge smiles and many laughs to all the kids that attend. We look forward to it every year and cannot wait to experience it with one of our own.

We are fortunate that Roz has her own business and can arrange her schedule to be as flexible as we wish. Roz's many loyal customers have been coming to her for a long time and understand everything we have been through. But Roz's ultimate goal is to be a stay at home mom.

We are grateful that Rob's job has been a rewarding one and it is something he also has been doing for several years. Being an operations manager takes a lot of skill and he has been fortunate to work for a company that has been around for 77 years. Job security is not an issue and we know we would be able to raise your child in a financially stable home.

We both have very large, extremely supportive families and friends whom are all very excited about our decision to adopt a child and can not wait until the day we have a child running around our home. Everyone lives close by and there is always something fun going on somewhere, cookouts, birthday parties, holiday gatherings, etc. You name it, we're doing it. We have so many nieces and nephews that are looking forward to many sleepovers at Uncle Rob's and Aunt Roz's house. We enjoy having the kids around and can not wait to share their love and our love with your child. Believe us their will be many good times and plenty of cousins to share them with.

We want more than anything to become parents and share our own traditions with your child and truly create some new ones together. Especially the Christmas holiday, when we have all of our family and friends together exchanging gifts, watching the look on the children's faces when they finally get too see if they have been naughty or nice. Trust us, for some reason Santa always says they have been very nice.

We assure you that we will send you pictures and letters and keep you well informed on his/her progress throughout their life, if that is what you wish. We will tell them what a huge sacrifice you had made out of love for him/her to ensure they had a wonderful upbringing and also how we had waited and prayed for them to become a part of our lives for a long time. We will be honest and open in answering any questions to the best of our knowledge and let them know that if it was not for you we would never have had the opportunity to share in each other's lives. We would never forget you and what an important role you had played in our lives and the special decision you made to make our lives complete. We could never thank you enough if you decide to choose us. Again, we hope that by reading this letter your very hard decision became a little bit easier.

Thank You So Very Much For Your Consideration,

Rob & Roz
