Alan & Lori

Dear Birth Parent(s),

We would like to thank you for considering adoption and for reading our letter. Please allow us to tell you more about ourselves. Our ability to make everyone feel comfortable is strong. As a couple we have so much love for children. We are very caring, sensitive, fun and loving people. Your child will be extremely well taken care of. The child's emotions and needs will always be first. We enjoy seeing them laugh, and presenting to them the feeling of how important they will be. Taking the time to help them learn and grow into an adult in this world is important to us. We would love to experience this together.

Our life and the routine with your child would be something like this. We will all have a healthy breakfast together to start the day off right. Alan will leave for work and Lori will be home with the child. We will explore new horizons and activities every day. School, reading, games, television, toys and shopping would be a big part of our days. On the days the weather is nice, we will take long walks all together along with our dog Lacey. We will also meet Alan at times for lunch at nice restaurants. We will rent movies and games from Blockbuster Video. We have many children in our neighborhood that have parties and activities and we will attend these events. Having dinner at night together and preparing for the next day at school will be a high priority. Working and keeping up with computer technology will be important for us to teach the child.

On holidays, we have our own new and improved family traditions. We love to cut down our own Christmas tree from a farm, then tie it on the roof of the SUV and stop at a Dunkin Donut shop for hot cocoa or tea. We would come home and decorate our entire home inside and out. Alan is in charge of decorating the outside of the house with all of the white lights and Lori is in charge of all of the inside decorating. We always display a beautiful Christmas village scene in the bay window of our living room. We decorate the tree in our house with Christmas ornaments from Lori's grandmother and all of the ornaments from places we have been or gifts people have given us. Your child will complete this family and put a spark in our lives. We want the highest goals, dreams and hopes for the baby. We would want the child to become what ever it wants to be and always give the support and drive for what ever they choose. If the child decides to continue their education further we will guide him/her towards the right college. We would like to encourage music lessons, musical instrument repair, sports, fashion or interior design and hair styling.

Being up beat is very important to us; we like to make each other laugh. Our humor is different and unique. For example, when Lori and I are together we make up funny songs and quotes about what is going on at the moment. We come up with really different tricks for our dog. Alan does funny impressions of Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, George Burns, and Neil Diamond. There are many other funny things that would make your child laugh.

We have been together for a long time and have achieved many great accomplishments over the years. We have the desire and patience to have a child to grow and to become a part of this special unity and to experience a good life. We can assure you that all of your child's experiences and holidays will be extra special and memorable. We will take your child on vacations, have awesome birthday parties, enroll in school activities, and take him or her to sporting events. Our hopes for the child is to become a well-rounded adult someone who will be responsible, respectful, polite, and considerate of other people's feelings. We are hard working individuals and this has made our careers successful and still climaxing to greater expectations.

We will absolutely provide many photos, stories and letters about your child over the years. It is important to let you know how the child has developed as a person and for the child to know where they came from. When the questions arise about "being adopted", we will explain that they were placed with us because they were so special and great. God wanted it this way because it was the way it was meant to be. We have a strong faith in destiny. We wish you the best in your decision and we hope you find everything you are wanting for your special child.

Sincerely,

Alan & Lori
