Are Hoping to Adopt a Baby
dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
We've been struggling with how to begin this letter, because the truth is—we can't imagine what you may be going through right now. What we do know is that considering adoption takes immense strength, love, and courage, and we want you to know how deeply we respect and admire you for that. While we may come from different places and experiences, we hope this letter gives you a sense of who we are, the kind of parents we hope to be, and the life we would be honored to give your child.
We're committed to guiding a child through life with patience, honesty, and unwavering support. Whether it's a school concert, a sporting event, or just a tough day—they can count on us to always show up, cheer them on, and remind them that they are never alone. We will be their biggest fans, their safe place, and their steady foundation.
At the same time, we will make it a priority to keep life lighthearted and full of joy, laughter, adventure, and unforgettable memories. We want to raise a child who is confident, kind, and proud of who they are and where they come from, including the courageous woman who brought them into the world. If you choose us, your child will always know that your decision was made out of deep love.
Please know that, no matter what path you choose, we hold space in our hearts for you and the love you have for your child.
About Us
Our Home & Neighborhood
Our Family & Friends
Both of us grew up in close, tight-knit families. Ryan was born and raised in Wisconsin by his parents, who are still happily married. Ryan is very close to his family. He grew up with an older brother and younger sister, each 2 years apart in age. We have regular get-togethers to enjoy a meal and watch our favorite reality TV show, Survivor, as well as watching Packers games. Ryan's family enjoys their annual vacations in northern Wisconsin, where his family has been visiting since his mom was a child.
Although Sarah's family is spread across several states, they remain incredibly close. She grew up near her dad's side of the family with her parents and two older brothers and spent much of her childhood surrounded by grandparents and extended family—sharing holidays, family dinners, and countless special memories. Now, her immediate family is gradually moving to Wisconsin, intentionally relocating to be nearby as we prepare to grow our own family.
Their love and support mean the world to us, and we're excited to raise a child in such a close-knit and caring extended family.
