Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know us and considering us as adoptive parents for your soon to be born baby.

Dear Birthparent,

We want to thank you for letting us tell you about ourselves, and sharing our story with you. We realize that adoption is a very important life decision and can only imagine the emotions involved in this for you. We hope to express to you in these next few pages, the love and nurturing we will offer your child in our home.

Hello, we are Debbie and Mike. We have been together for ten years, and married for over five. After several years of unsuccessful infertility treatments, we have decided to build our family through adoption. While our experience with infertility has been a really difficult and emotional one for both of us, we know that adopting a child will truly fulfill our dreams of building a family. We want to experience together the joys of parenting, watching and helping a child grow up to be a healthy successful adult.

Thank you for taking the time to read about our family. We are the proud parents of three amazing kids and are very excited to add to our family through adoption. Our desire to adopt comes from our deep love for our family and our strong belief that nothing would be more joyful than another baby for us to love.

We know the importance of siblings and the friendships that they offer and cannot wait for our children to extend that love and bond to a new baby. We know that your goal is to make the best decisions possible for your child's future and we hope the information about our family will help you to get to know us better. We welcome the opportunity to get to know you better and for you to get to know us.

Reinout & Leendert Jan

Danielia and Sam

Hello!

We are Reinout and Leendert Jan (LJ) from the Netherlands. We have been together as a couple for over six years now. We love each other very much and feel we are meant to be together for the rest of our lives. However, we have both always felt that one part that would make our life and our future together truly complete is missing: both of us have a deep wish to become dads and become a family. That is why we have chosen to try to form a family through adoption from the USA.
