Sandy & Joe

Dear Birthmother,

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us.
We are Sandy and Joe and as we write this letter, we realize that this is probably the most important letter we will ever write - our letter introducing ourselves to you. We can only imagine what you must be going through and hope that this letter will help you to find peace with your decision...whatever that turns out to be.

Our decision to adopt was an easy one. Even before we got married, we talked about adoptions as a wonderful way to grow our family. We tried to have a biological child for about a year, but when that didn't happen we turned right to adoption.

We are grateful you are considering us as potential parents for your baby and understand this must be a difficult decision for you. We hope our letter will put your mind as ease and help you to know a family who would adore and care for your child with open arms and a loving heart.

It takes faith and courage to make this decision and we would consider a child a miraculous gift to our family. We cannot have another child without your help. Rest assured your child will grow up knowing that he or she had a mom who made a loving and careful decision.

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.
