Dear Birthmother
Dear Expectant Mother,
We're writing this letter with hearts full of emotion, knowing that you are facing one of life's most profound decisions. As we think of you and your precious baby, we are moved by your courage in considering adoption and exploring what's best for your child's future.
We want you to know we see you—not just as a potential birthmother but as a woman making a decision born of deep love and incredible strength. The fact that you're reading this letter shows how thoughtfully you're approaching this choice. Your baby is so fortunate to have a mother who is willing to explore every option to give them the best possible life. Whether or not you choose us, we admire your bravery in considering adoption. We can only imagine the complex emotions you're experiencing, and we want you to know we honor and respect every feeling you have during this journey.
If you were to choose us as adoptive parents, we would ensure your baby grows up knowing the profound love that led to your decision. Your child would be treasured, cherished, and surrounded by joy, laughter, and endless opportunities. We would be forever grateful for the trust you placed in us.
Please know that whatever path you choose, you have our deepest respect and admiration. You and your baby's well-being matter deeply to us.
With sincere appreciation,
Ben & Jeff
Our Home
We wanted to embrace the natural beauty of Idaho and found a home in the southeast foothills, located in one of the state’s best school districts. Our two-story house has five bedrooms and three bathrooms, ideal for a growing family and hosting guests! Jeff works from a home office, while Ben spends two days at his corporate headquarters ten minutes away and works remotely the rest of the week. Despite Jack and Ernie’s efforts to scatter dog toys, we keep our home tidy and enjoy our morning walk routine. Our fenced backyard is perfect for the dogs, and a park and playground are two blocks away. Five minutes from downtown, our safe, friendly community offers 30+ miles of hiking trails, ideal for an active lifestyle.
Our Family
Family comes first for us, and we are fortunate to have relationships with relatives across the country. Jeff’s parents, sister, and brother-in-law all recently moved closer to us. Ben’s mom lives in his childhood home in Pennsylvania. His brother’s family lives in Maryland. After Ben’s father passed away, we committed to creating holiday family memories, no matter the distance. We also stay connected via a weekly Sunday evening call, a beautiful way to share stories and keep in touch. We enjoy summer vacations and casual weekend barbecues filled with laughter, good food, and plenty of love.
We also have a large network of chosen family—lifelong friends from every phase of both our lives. Jeff’s college friends still have a Christmas party where they exchange wacky gifts that cost $25 or less. One year featured a hamster!
We enjoy connecting around food, and we love hosting large family meals. Ben is head chef, carefully crafting unique and creative menus by pulling from his childhood memories of cooking with his Polish grandmother. Jeff spends days ensuring our home is in top shape, runs to the store for ingredients at the drop of a hat, and keeps everyone entertained while the meal is served.
