Dear Birth Parent(s),

We want to thank you for reading this letter & looking over our profile. We can't imagine how difficult this time in your life is for you. All the unanswered questions you must be facing and the what if's… or if only…that are racing through your mind. We hope you have the support you need & that you are not alone in this difficult time. We admire the selflessness and courage it takes to put your child's needs before yours. We believe adoption is the greatest gift of love a parent can make. We promise that your child will be with a loving & nurturing family. Your child will have a stable home filled with laughter, morals, respect and more laughter!

Our names are Dave and Janice. We were married 3-1/2 years ago on Janice's birthday & it just happened to be Valentine's Day too! She always loved a big birthday party! We met through a mutual friend & have been best friends ever since. Janice could always count on Dave for anything. He was there in a flash when she called. He did special things if he knew she had a bad day just to cheer her up. He was Janice's rock. She did the same for him. Our families & friends became intertwined long before we dated! We both always wanted lots of kids! Kids are our life & have always been. We think in our hearts we are both still kids!! The role we play with our nieces, nephews & cousins is the most rewarding. We give them guidance, love & lots of fun times! The love they give back to us is immeasurable. We were both heartbroken with the many miscarriages we went through. Our families cried right along with us. Our 5 yr old niece told Janice her Grandma Rose would take care of our baby in heaven, so we didn't have to be sad or worry anymore.

We wanted so badly to become parents. The void in our lives needs to be filled with children. Each of us feels the other would be a fantastic parent. We are both solid in our convictions & morals, and have the same views as how to raise a child. We feel we can raise a child to be respectful of others, have great family ties, and just enjoy what life has to offer. Your child will always be provided for, nurtured & supported in all his/her endeavors. But most of all, he/she will be happy & content, just like we were in our childhoods.

We intend on always being involved in your child's life. Whether it is attending school functions, sports practices or games. Your child will have a large circle of family members that can't wait to shower him/her with their love & attention. We would take your child everywhere with us. We would not use daycare as Dave works days & is home by 3:30. He and your child would spend most of their time outdoors playing. Janice works mostly from home & her hours vary by appointments. Janice has lots of play dates or luncheons with her friends & their kids. We have a great deal of family & friends that would baby-sit. We told them payback time is coming for all we did for them & they can't wait for your child to arrive. The Grandmas & Grandpas are always around, waiting for the grandchildren to visit!

We want you to understand that your child will know about his/her adoption & how we came into his/her life. The more information & pictures you give us about you & your family will help him/her to understand where he/she came from. We will send you pictures & letters to reassure you that you made the right decision by choosing us. We will let him/her know that this decision was made out of love from your heart to do what is best for your child. He/she will always feel how special he/she is in our hearts. And because of your courage & selflessness for wanting him/her to have a better life, our dreams have come true. And for that, we are truly grateful in your decision to choose us as parents for your child.

With all our hearts,

Dave & Janice
