Dear Birthmother
First, I want to express my deep admiration for your strength and thoughtfulness as you consider adoption for your baby. I can only imagine the weight of the decision you're facing, and I truly respect the care you're putting into finding the best family for your child. Please know, if chosen, I will do everything in my power to give your baby the most loving, nurturing life possible. I have so much love to give and am committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for them.
I hope to raise this child in a home where they know they are loved unconditionally by a mom who is devoted to them. I want them to grow up with the confidence to explore, learn, and dream, knowing that the world is full of possibilities. We'll travel, embrace different cultures, and build a future filled with opportunities. Your baby will be surrounded by love, joy, and a close-knit, supportive community, including a proud grandma and uncle who will spoil them, along with an extensive extended family and friends who can't wait to be a part of their life. Together, we will create a life filled with laughter, learning, and love.
My Home

I live on a quiet, dead-end street in Illinois, surrounded by wooded areas where deer often roam. My bungalow-style house has a small fenced front yard. I enjoy experimenting with flowers and vegetables in my garden each year. I'm conveniently located near a grade school, not far from the metro or shopping, and less than a mile from my best friend, who lives in a beautiful area with woods and trails. My immediate family is about 25-45 minutes away, and I'm close to a major city as well as my family's farm, which has been in the family since the late 1800s. Though I don't have pets, I occasionally puppy-sit for friends and family.
My Family

I have 1 older brother, and my mother; unfortunately, we lost my father a few years ago. I grew up spending most holidays with my dad's large family as well as splitting time with my mom's family, which is small. My immediate family was small, but my father was one of 6 siblings, with 15 grandchildren and now 25 great-grandchildren. I also have a bunch of second cousins that I see sometimes that live in KY, TX, and AZ. I consider close friends to be like family. I hope my profile shows how important family is to me.
I have hosted a family Easter a few times; I even rent a big giant bunny costume and have someone dress up for the kids, just seeing the excitement on their faces is worth it. I especially love spending time at our summer property in the country. I have so many fond memories growing up there, having family events. My big brother loves kids and they love him; he is like 6'4 and I swear he is like a big kid with them. Ultimately, my family has a lot of love to give and is welcoming of all.
