Dear Birthmother
Dear Expectant Mother,
Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little about us. We cannot begin to understand how difficult this decision must be for you. We don’t know what brought you down this path, but we hope you feel supported and loved no matter where you are in your journey. We admire you so much for having the strength to choose life and consider adoption. We know you just want the best for your baby, and we want that too.
We promise to cherish and love your baby with all of our hearts and souls and to provide a safe, loving, and nurturing home and a life with every opportunity possible if you choose us. We promise to provide your baby with all the laughter, happiness, and joy we can. We would spend every moment of every day being incredibly grateful that you chose us to raise your child.
Our Home
We recently built our new home based on our dream of growing our family. Our neighborhood is very friendly, with a mix of young and retired families. We have a community sports park across the street. We have approximately 11 parks in our town and attend various activities throughout the year. We are close enough to downtown that we can participate in all the local events but far enough away that we get the comfort of living in a quiet neighborhood. Our school district is one of the top in our state. One of the reasons we moved to this town is because of the diversity and inclusion it promotes. We have three cats, Loki, Quill, and Nebula (Nebi), who bring so much joy and laughter to our lives.
Our Family
Our extended family is very important to us. We both grew up as only children. However, when Jake was in his early teens, he gained a stepmother and two step-siblings. Unfortunately, his father passed away in 2021. He was also very close to his aunts, uncles, and cousins growing up and continues to maintain these relationships to this day. We have nieces and nephews from his side of the family. We try to visit them and bring our nieces and nephews down to spend the weekends with us as much as possible.
Ten years ago, Alison found out she has one paternal brother and three nephews. We see each other about three times a year for family vacations and reunions and connect on the phone as well.
Both Alison’s parents, Jake’s mom, and multiple other family members live close by, and we feel very fortunate to have them so close to us. We are lucky as we have great relationships with our families and each other’s families as well. We spend Memorial Day weekend with Jacob’s extended family and Labor Day weekend with Alison’s extended family.
