Dear birthmother,Hi! We are Chris and Melissa. We want to tell you how much we admire your strength and courage in your decision to create an adoption plan. We can never know the difficulty you face in your decision, but we want you to know that you are our one hope in starting our family. And for that, we are eternally grateful. We promise to provide a safe, loving home for your child and to protect and care for him or her the very best that we can. Your child will always know that your decision to place was out of your unconditional love, and they will know how much we admire your courage in doing what you think is best for your baby. You are already on our hearts and minds as you begin this process. Let us start by saying that we can’t imagine how difficult this decision is for you. We truly admire your courage and strength in considering adoption. Whatever decision you choose, you should feel proud that you are making it with your baby’s best interests at heart. We are so thrilled that you have chosen to consider us as adoptive parents for your baby, and so, we would love the opportunity to tell you our story so that you may know us better. Melissa and I (Chris) met in a college communications class four years ago. On the first day of class, the professor said that this course had a strange effect on students in which some had actually fallen in love and married. Well, at the time we had no way of knowing how significant this statement was to us, but just a little over a year after the class had ended, we became one of those couples. We have been pretty much inseparable since that time, and about two years ago; we decided we wanted to start a family. Our struggle with infertility has been a difficult one, but we have found the strength to accept it through each other. We truly believe now that our destiny was always to adopt, and we cannot be more excited about this opportunity. If you think we might be a good fit as adoptive parents for your baby, we would really love to speak with you and to get to know about you and your life. We really can’t express how eager we are to raise a child with all the love and support that we can give. Thank you for taking the time to read our letter and to consider us as adoptive parents.
