Dear Birthmother
Dear Expectant Mother,
We want to begin by thanking you for considering us as potential parents for your baby. Our hearts break for you as you navigate this life-altering decision. We want you to know there is nothing more in life that we want than to provide a loving home to a precious baby. If chosen to be your child’s adoptive parents your baby will be loved, nurtured, and a gift. We respect you to the fullest.
We understand this may be a very hard decision for you but we want you to know that we both are beyond ready to love your child as our own. We are both very open to communicating about this child and will never neglect your desire to learn about this child if you choose to. We have been through eight years of trying and four years of IVF. The only thing that we know can complete our family is adding a baby.
We already love and appreciate you for being so open to birthing a child and allowing a family to take on the love and support this child will need, with you included if you decide to.
Our Home
Our townhome is warm, inviting, and quite spacious, with a backyard large enough to play a game of catch in. We have a precious kitty named Izzy who is seven. Our neighborhood is highly sought after for so many reasons: It offers a large pool, tennis court, stocked lake, and playground. We spend lots of time hanging out with other families in the neighborhood, and the playground is right by our home. Our neighborhood also hosts social events for children, including a Halloween parade and fishing tournament. In the winter, you can find the neighborhood kids sledding while the parents socialize and supervise. We’re within a short drive of Washington, DC, and all the history and attractions.
Our Family
Our family is a tight-knit group that offers patience, kindness, unconditional love, and a ton of laughter. It’s been such a blessing to live so close to the majority of our family. It makes it easy to spend lots of time together making memories and keeping our bonds strong. One of Savannah’s sisters and her husband live up the street from us, and her mom and dad live only 20 minutes away. Her oldest sister lives in Florida with our two nephews. Leon’s sister and her family live about 20 minutes from us, and we frequently spend weekends together; they have four children. Leon’s mother also lives with his sister and her family.
We have such a large extended family, and we love spending weekends gathering at one another’s homes as this allows all the cousins to grow up together and gives the grandparents an opportunity to watch them grow. Every holiday you will find us all together. We find joy in the small stuff, such as cooking together, playing games, or just watching the kids play in the yard. There are eight cousins, ages four to 23. To say that there is chaos would be an understatement, but it’s a fantastic sound listening to them laugh and play. We are blessed that our families enjoy being outdoors as well, whether taking long family walks by the creek or riding dirt bikes and ATVs. Our Christian faith is very important to both sides of our family, and we can often be found at church together.
