Dear Birth Parent(s),

Hi, our names are Stephen and Jill and we are so happy that you have taken the time to review our profile. We can only imagine how difficult the decision must be for you, but we respect your courage in exploring adoption as an option for your child. We would like to assure you that if you choose our family, your child will have a home filled with unconditional love, support, lots of laughter and respect.

We have been married for six wonderful years and we are truly blessed. We recently built our beautiful new home in a small town that is perfect for growing families. We both enjoy our careers which are fairly flexible and have provided us with opportunities for personal growth. Our friends and family are a huge part of our daily lives and yet something is still missing. We long to be parents. A child has been our dream for as long as we can remember and we have planned our life in hopes of this event!

As with all young couples, we expected parenthood to happen easily. The reality of our infertility forced us to grow in ways we never expected. We have been through a range of emotions after our first child miscarried and numerous failed attempts with in-vitro fertilization. However we can honestly say that our struggle has only made our love and marriage grow stronger. We learned that the path to a baby may have changed but the destination of a loving family remains the same. We cannot wait for the day when our lives revolve around a child!

We believe that parenting is the most important and rewarding experience a couple can share. As parents we will provide a stable environment for your child to grow into a loving, responsible, healthy individual. We promise to offer your child a secure future with education options, the chance to develop interests and hobbies and to encourage them to follow his or her dreams. We believe in strong morals and will be committed to instilling the values of honesty, respect and responsibility in your child. We are also excited about all the different experiences we will share, from the first day of school to vacations at Disney World! We are ready to focus our lives around the needs of your child and to finally build a family of our own!

Please be assured that we will talk openly and positively about your child's adoption and how he or she is loved by two families. We want him or her to learn about their adoption story at an early age and to always feel comfortable coming to us with any questions that come along. We would be delighted to keep you up to date on your child's life through letters and photographs, so that you can watch them grow and be assured that you made the best decision by choosing us as your child's adoptive parents. We want to be a Mom and Dad more than anything else and your child would be the most precious gift. If chosen to be parents, we will forever be grateful to you for completing our family.

Again, we would like to thank you for reading this letter and for considering adoption. We greatly admire and respect the decision you are making, and thank you for choosing to give your child life. We pray that you have a healthy pregnancy, receive the support you need, and find peace in whatever decision you make. Our prayers and best wishes are with you on this journey.

Best Wishes,

Stephen & Jill
