Dear Birth Parent(s),

We are so thankful and honored that you have taken the time to get to know us and consider us for raising your child. We know that we cannot fully understand the magnitude of the decision that you are making but commend and admire your strength and courage. We hope and pray that you are receiving the support that you need during this emotional and trying time.

Our names our Shon and Pascha. We have been married for about 3 ½ years and are best friends. We met about 8 years ago at a shopping mall in the town where Shon was attending school. After a brief phone conversation and a second meeting, we both knew that we had found someone special. We have been inseparable ever since. Pascha is quiet and shy while Shon is talkative and outgoing. We balance each others personalities well and feel incomplete without the other. We love each other so much and each feel we found our perfect match.

We both love children and always expressed a desire to have a family. After about a year of marriage we really focused on starting a family, but with no success. After many doctor visits and a minor infertility treatment we took some time to step back and really evaluate our situation. We prayed for help to cope and to accept the reality of infertility and in time we were moved towards another avenue of parenting: adoption.

Although parenting can be a challenge and bring many changes to our lives, it we will bring us great joy and happiness. Being parents will enhance our lives. We are confident that we will be a constant source of unconditional love, encouragement and support for your child. We feel it is important to teach and demonstrate by our example good values, manners and morals. We realize that we have a responsibility both to the child and to you. We want you to feel secure in knowing that we will always put the needs of a child before our own. Fulfilling every spiritual, financial, emotional, educational and physical need the child may have. We will always be there to comfort the child and be a listening ear in good times and bad.

We both have very large families who are completely supportive of our decision to adopt. We feel that the examples our parents have set in raising their families is immeasurable. What we have learned from them will assist us in parenting a child. Our families are very anxious to extend and express their love and attention to a new baby in the family and cannot wait to be great-grandparents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc….

Please know that from an early age we will be open with your child about adoption. Always being honest and willing to answer any and all questions the child may have. We will continually emphasize to your child that your decision was made with love, kindness and self-sacrifice. We would love to send pictures and letters to share your child's growth and to reassure you that your child is doing well.

It is our dream and desire to be parents. If adoption is what you choose, we would be so honored to be parents for your child and we would be forever grateful for your amazing gift.

Sincerely,

Shon & Pascha
