Amy & Marcy

We are Amy & Marcy and we thank you for giving us the opportunity to tell you a little bit about us. We want you to know how grateful we are that you are considering us as adoptive parents for your soon to be born baby. Having this opportunity to complete our family with a
child to love and care for in every way is the best gift we could ever receive.

While we cannot imagine what you must be going through right now, the fact that you are open to adoption tells us how courageous and
honorable you must be. We encourage you to follow your heart. I, Amy, can tell you from my own experience having been adopted at birth, that I was raised by loving parents who encouraged me and gave me every opportunity to be happy and to follow my own dreams.
And I know in my heart that the beautiful woman who gave birth to me wanted the best for me. I wish I could tell her how grateful I am, I know she would be very proud.

Dear Birth Mother,

I am writing this letter with the hope of opening a new chapter in my life. First, I want to start by thanking you once again for taking the time to get to know me. My name is Joyce and my lifelong dream has been to become a parent through adoption. This dream stems from my own childhood experiences which I remember with admiration for my parents, adoration for my sister and thankfulness for my extended family.

Tim & Christian

Dear Birth Family ...

We are honored that you are taking the time to know more about us as you plan for the future of your baby. We know you face a difficult
decision and that you want to choose the right family for your child.

In this letter, we have included a lot of information and pictures so that you can get to know us a little bit better and hopefully decide that we are the right family that makes sense for you and your baby. We have thought long and hard about what to include here and, of course, this is not all there is to know about us. But, we think these are the important snapshots. Our lives - like everyone’s - are not perfect. We are works-in-progress. Everyday we grow and learn from each other. Our desire to be parents comes from a feeling that we have a lot to share with a child and that we have a lot to learn from one as well. We hope this letter gives you a better sense of who we are and we are open to sharing more as we move forward together.

Danielle & Paul

Thank you for giving us the possibility of changing our lives … How are you feeling? We hope you are feeling well. Our names are Danielle and Paul. We would like to let you know how excited we are at the possibility of becoming parents. We tried for a year on our own, then went through two years of fertility treatments – it all failed. Our hearts were broken but we realized that adoption could be the answer to our prayers.
