dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
Thank you for your willingness to consider blessing us with a child and supporting our dream of a growing family. Though we will never fully understand your sacrifice, we know this life-changing decision is immeasurably difficult. It is one we do not take lightly, and we would raise your child lovingly in a family surrounded by laughter, support, memories, and traditions every day in dedication to the gift you have bestowed. As we write our story together and our chapters develop, we know the next part of our story could not be imagined without you.
We are teeming with love and adoration for a child who could be a part of our family—our missing piece. To say we are already immensely grateful for you is an understatement. You, your child, and your decision are what would make us whole.
Our journey to parenthood has been fortified with kindness, love, support, and encouragement from our family and friends, and that is a message and mission we carry on into our own family. Be assured that you would be setting your child up for a future of love, safety, and security in our grateful home.
We already admire you so much.

About Us
Our Home & Neighborhood
Our Family & Friends
Ryan’s parents, sister, brother, and sister-in-law live only a couple hours away in Iowa. He comes from a very large extended family with over twenty aunts and uncles and over thirty cousins, all of whom we are very close. Growing up with a large family and spending so many birthdays and holidays together was Ryan’s favorite part of his childhood. We still get together many times a year. It is so fun to see how our family is growing and who brought the best appetizer! No matter where we are celebrating family, it's safe to say Grandma and Grandpa are spatting on calling dibs on holding their granddaughter.
Ben’s parents live close to us in a neighboring city, and his sister, brother-in-law, and adorable nephew live in Tennessee. Most of Ben’s extended family is local to us, and we get to see them frequently. We love spending time with our nephew, seeing how he is growing and becoming brighter each day, and he loves being a cousin. Watching Nana and Papa dote over their grandkids is amazing!
We enjoy spending our free time with family on Ryan’s family acreage and at Ben’s family lake house. We have the most amazing and supportive family.
