Dear Birthmother
Dear Mother,
We can only imagine how overwhelming and emotional this journey must be for you, and we want to start by saying how deeply we admire your strength. Thank you for even considering us to be part of your baby’s future—it’s a gesture that humbles us beyond words.
We know you’ve likely read many letters, and while each one may blur into the next, please know that behind ours is a genuine desire to honor you and the love you have for your child. That’s why we begin with “Dear Mother”—because that title is yours forever. Our goal is not to replace you but to carry forward your love by raising your child with care, warmth, and the values our own families instilled in us.
We understand that no decision could be more personal or more difficult. Though we can’t truly know how you feel, our hearts are with you. If and when you’re ready, we’re here for you—to listen, to support, and to walk this road with compassion and respect.
While much of the adoption process involves paperwork and planning, what keeps us going is the hope of giving your child a life filled with love, laughter, and belonging. We may never find the perfect words to express everything we feel, but please know this: we see you, we honor your bravery, and we would be forever grateful for the trust you place in us.

Our Home
In 2021, we bought Cody’s parents’ very first home—a charming two-bedroom house built in 1924. We’ve loved putting our own touches on it, especially the newly updated kitchen. Nestled in a tight-knit community, many of our neighbors are family, making it feel extra warm and welcoming.
Our backyard is a little haven, where Trenton tends to a garden full of fruits, veggies, and roses. We’ve also started growing apple trees and are eager to see them bloom.
Sharing our home are two beloved pets: Patrick, our sweet cat who showed up one night and never left (we lovingly call him Muffin), and Chesney, our standard poodle. He’s playful when he wants to be, but most days he’s perfectly content snoozing by our feet.
Our Family
Our extended families are very different, each special in its own way. Cody’s family is large and close-knit, with over 40 members we regularly see for birthdays, holidays, and celebrations. His parents live just down the street, and his brother is only a few minutes away. With around 20 cousins, 12 aunts and uncles, and his maternal grandparents, Cody’s family loves to come together for everything—from t-ball games to weddings. There’s always laughter, food, and a strong sense of togetherness.
Trenton’s family is smaller but deeply supportive. In recent years, he has experienced the loss of several loved ones, which has brought his remaining family even closer. He was raised by his stepfather, who legally adopted him and is the only father he’s known. Trenton has two half-brothers, three stepbrothers, two aunts, one uncle, and four cousins. While they may not gather for every milestone, their love and encouragement are constant and heartfelt.
Both families are eager to welcome a child with open arms, ready to offer support, love, and a sense of belonging.
