Dear Birthmother
We want to welcome you into our lives. We realize you will probably be reading and sifting through many letters like ours as you consider adoption for your child. Although this letter will only provide you a glimpse of our lives, as you read this letter, we want you to envision your child living in OUR home—a home where there will be unconditional love, celebrations of triumphs, and support during the setbacks. We are downright silly and loving all wrapped up together. Your child will be surrounded by a loving brother and dads and by a large extended family with countless cousins for your child to play with.
We realize the decision to place your child for adoption is the greatest challenge you will ever have to face. Should you select us to be the parents for your child, please know we will provide a loving and nurturing family. Please also know we will always tell your child they have a selfless and loving mother who gave us the greatest gift by making the greatest sacrifice. We truly hope you allow us to take this adoption journey with you.
Eternally grateful,
Joel, Juan and Jasper
Our Home
We live in northeastern Pennsylvania, 1.5 hours from New York City. Many families move here because there are many things to do with children. There are parks and many outdoor activities to do as a family, such as Appalachian trails, skiing, zipline parks, canoeing, and indoor and outdoor waterparks. We enjoy being outdoors and can’t wait to hike and kayak with Jasper and his new sibling. Our home is the only house at the top of a mountain, surrounded by lush trees. It has three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. We have a finished basement we hope to convert into a playroom for our child. Our eight-year-old shih tzu, Luna, is always up for our adventures.
Our Family
We come from very large families that are very supportive. There are always enormous amounts of family all the time. We have a huge celebration on Christmas Eve that includes a dinner with over fifty family members. We cannot wait to share that experience with a second child. In our culture, even our cousin’s children become our nieces and nephews. We see no separation at all in that; they all get treated like our children. We have countless nieces and nephews between the two of us. We are the uncles that babysit and the uncles who have sleepovers with sheets and chairs to make forts.
Our families are very supportive of our decision to adopt a second child. They are already wishing and speaking this baby into existence for us. This baby, like our son Jasper, will not only be loved and adored by us but will be loved and adored by both our families.
