Dear Birth Parent(s),

Our names our Matt and Nicole. We met ten years ago and instantly had a close friendship bond. We are best friends. We have unsuccessfully tried for a biological child. When doctors told us we had a slim chance with out fertility help, we immediately decided to adopt. We are overwhelmed with joy and have felt this was God's plan for us and so we are following our dreams.

We are both truly happy, honest people. We enjoy and cherish the simple little things in life. Our happiest moments are being with family and friends…. laughing, dreaming, crying and living life to it's fullest; cherishing every moment along the way, truly appreciating every day God gives us. It is obvious to our friends and families that we will make great parents. We have been successful in finding the balance in our lives of personal, professional and financial goals and feel we are prepared to begin another journey of parenting.

Both of us come from traditional families who enjoy celebrating every holiday to their fullest. One of our biggest joys is watching the innocent faces of our nieces and nephews when Santa comes to visit on Christmas Eve or their eyes lighting up on St. Patrick's Day as we march in the parade. We are so excited to see and experience the world thru a child's eyes. We will read bedtime stories, make homemade cookies and play at the park. We also plan on family traditions of Easter egg hunts, finding the perfect Christmas tree and dressing up for Halloween. We will make time for family vacations and building precious memories.

We recently moved to a family friendly community. The child will have plenty of friends near by and a subdivision swimming pool to enjoy in the summer. The school district has been ranked number one in the Nation, which we are very proud of because education is valued in our lives.

We are very fortunate to have an anxious Grandma to help with the baby during the weekday. We both have careers with flexible hours and have discussed adoption with our employers who are extremely supportive in our decision.

We will speak of you from day one and sending letters and pictures will add to our joy. We want your child to know the love you have and understand the selfless decision you made. We want you to know your child will be unconditionally loved each and everyday. We will embrace your child's individuality and help them find the level of happiness that our parents taught us. Your child will have every opportunity to find their dreams and we will encourage and provide the education and experiences to do so. Let us know of any special wishes you may have and we will let your child know they came from your heart.

We again want to thank you for reading our letter and giving us the opportunity. We will be forever grateful….you will have answered our prayers.

Love,

Matt & Nicole
