Dear Birthmother
Dear Birthmom,
We want to begin by saying how deeply honored we feel that you are considering us as adoptive parents for your precious baby. We cannot fully imagine the weight of the decision you are facing, and we want you to know that we see your strength, your love, and your courage in even exploring this path.
As we begin this journey, our hearts are filled with excitement, hope, and readiness. After walking through years of infertility and loss, we are more hopeful than ever about the future and grateful beyond words for the chance to grow our family through adoption. We know this process is built on immense trust, and we do not take that lightly.
Please know that we will never forget the role you play in this story. Your baby will always know that their story began with your love and sacrifice. We feel so blessed to even be considered and want you to know that, should you choose us, we would devote ourselves fully to providing a life filled with love, laughter, safety, and opportunity.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for thinking of us during such an important and difficult time. We are truly grateful, honored, and humbled.
With love and gratitude,
Trish & Josh
Our Home
We live in a small, welcoming Pennsylvania community where kids play, neighbors chat, and families feel at home. Our local schools are strong in academics, arts, sports, and student well-being, and we love being near playgrounds, basketball courts, and family—my sister is a short walk away, with other relatives nearby. Fall walks among vibrant leaves are a favorite tradition.
Our greatest shared joy is Woodstock, our gentle seven-year-old pup. Caring for him has taught us patience, attentiveness, and the heart of parenting. He’s happiest on hikes, camping trips, and neighborhood walks, but just as content cuddling close. Always loving and wonderful with children, Woodstock fills our lives with laughter and comfort—and we know he’ll be the best “big brother” to a little one.
Our Family
We are so blessed to come from families filled with love, laughter, and constant support. Both sides are very close—we share holidays, Sunday dinners, and lean on each other through life’s ups and downs. Trish’s parents, Ron and Margie (“Nanny” and “Poppy”), adore their four grandchildren and our pup, Woodstock. Josh’s parents, Robert and Terry (“Pop-pop” and “G-mom”), love being grandparents to three. Together, our families have blended into one big, joyful circle, and they can’t wait to welcome another little one.
Our siblings mean the world to us. Trish’s siblings, Ronnie and Jenna, and Josh’s sister, Sarah, are kind, dependable, and always by our side. All three were adopted, which makes their support on our adoption journey especially meaningful. Being “aunt” and “uncle” brings us so much joy—we treasure watching soccer games, dance recitals, and band performances, and celebrating each milestone together.
Family traditions are the heart of our lives—from Christmas trivia and pick-up soccer with Josh’s family to St. Patrick’s Day parties and big Christmas gatherings with Trish’s. Surrounded by extended family and friends who feel like family, we are reminded daily that love and loyalty are what truly make a family.
