It has been nearly 18 years since Jill and I adopted our twin sons, Elliott and Jacob and created a family. Today, our home and our lives would not be complete without them. Few people realize that nearly 60% of Americans are touched by adoption in some way.

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.

Rebecca

Rebecca

Dear Birthparent,

I appreciate you taking the time to read my letter. This must be a difficult decision for you and I admire your strength. My hope that this small snapshot into my life and family will provide some comfort to know you are making the right choice for your baby. I have friends who have adopted and I see the relationship they have developed with their child. I see how much they love their children and how quickly they bonded. I too have dreamed of becoming a parent this way and hope you will consider me.

Barbara & Butch

Barbara and Butch

Hi!! We are Barbara & Butch – or as friends and family call us B&B! Thank you so much for taking the time to
read this. As you go through this emotional process, hopefully you will consider us as the couple right to
adopt your baby and that we can ease your mind about your baby’s future during this difficult time.

We met in July of 1999 – it was love at first sight! However, we really didn’t start dating until September
because each of us went on already planned family vacations in July and August. But once we started
seriously seeing each other, we quickly became very close.

Sanny

Sanny

Hello –

Thank you so much for reading my letter and letting me share a bit about my family with you. I am honored that you are considering me as the adoptive parent for your child. I would be excited to provide a home for your child, and am looking forward to caring and loving the child that I am lucky enough to adopt. 

Carol & Baraxil

Carol and Baraxil

Dear Birthparents,

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. It must be an incredibly overwhelming process, choosing an adoptive family for your baby, and even though we can’t begin to imagine what you are going through right now, we want you to know how much respect and admiration we have for you. Not everyone has the strength to choose adoption; in fact, you belong to a very special group of people. We know you must have a lot of questions, and more than anything we want you to feel comfortable with your decision. We hope this letter will show you how much love and warmth and laughter we have to share with the baby who will make our family complete.

Dear Birth Parent,

Thank you for taking the time to read our letter in which we want to introduce ourselves, our home and our lives to you. We are grateful for this chance to introduce ourselves. We can imagine that the decision you have to make at this moment is probably the most difficult decision in life any parent has to make. We admire your courage for making the decision to find a loving and safe home for your child. We want you to know that we can offer your child a safe and financially secure home, filled with lots of love.

Hopefully our introduction will make you feel comfortable about the future of your child within our home.

Clare & Alex

We are Clare and Alex, and we are grateful you are taking the time to consider us as parents for your child.

Dear Birth Mother,

Thank you for considering us as potential adoptive parents for your child. You are presumably facing a very difficult time in your life and we understand that the decision you have to take is anything but easy for you. We really admire you for being so brave to consider adoption as the best choice for your unborn baby.

We don’t know each other yet, but we hope that after reading this letter you know us a little better and you can imagine us as the family you chose for adopting your baby.

We wish you emotional strength for your decision and then choosing the best option for you and your child. We want to send you best wishes.

Linda & Mike

Linda & Mike

Hello,

We are Linda and Mike, a happily married couple looking to expand our family through adoption. Thank you for taking the time to read our letter. We hope that it provides a glimpse into our lives and offers you the opportunity to learn more about our family. We have a seven-year old biological son, William. We truly adore him and love being his parents, however we always envisioned having more than one child in our family. After struggling with infertility both before William was born, as well as in the years after, we feel that adoption would be a wonderful way of adding to our family (not to mention the fact that William would love to become a big brother!).

Jessica & Chris

Jessica & Chris

Dear Birthmom,

We met 7 years ago at a St. Patrick’s day festival in downtown San Francisco, and it’s been an amazing ride ever since. Our names are Chris and Jessica and we live in New York with our beautiful little boy, Nico. After such an easy time with having Nico, we never expected having a second child would be so difficult. But after two years and
countless doctors visits, we needed to explore our options. Adoption was at the top of our list.

Judith

Judith

Dear Birth Parent,

I write this knowing that it will be through this “hello book” that you and I will meet for the first time. I can only imagine that this is one of the hardest and most courageous decisions you’ve had to make. Thank you for taking the time to learn about my life and my hopes and dreams for adopting your child into my immediate and extended family of loved ones and friends.

Thank you in advance for taking a few minutes to review my letter and get to know me.

While I am very much looking forward to being a parent one day soon, I recognize that the most important thing right now is for you to find the best match for yourself and the baby.
