Dear Expectant Parent,

Where do we even start? First, we want to start off by saying thank you for considering the gift of adoption. We cannot imagine what you are feeling right now as you contemplate what is the right choice for you and your baby. We pray that you find peace in making the right decision for both of you, whatever that may be. Your baby is already lucky to have a parent like you who cares so much about their future.

We have been trying to grow our family for many years without success. It's clear that the path to expanding our family is through opening our hearts to a child--and their birth family--through adoption. We hope that after you get to know us and our family through this book, you will be able to see that we are eager to raise your baby in our loving, safe, fun, healthy, nourishing, educational, and warm family. We pray that by getting to know us a little here, you will be able to tell whether we are the right family to love your baby.

Zareen & Matt

We recognize that the decisions you are facing are both daunting and incredibly brave. Your courage and strength are truly admirable. Adoption holds a special place in our hearts, intertwined with our family stories. These experiences have only fueled our passion and determination as we embark on our own adoption journey. We are incredibly thankful for your willingness to learn about us, and we look forward to getting to know you as well!

Hello! We're John & Mike. Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about us and our journey to become parents. We hope that this profile provides a helpful glimpse into our family!

We've been together since 2012 and have always known that we wanted to bring a child into our family through adoption. If we are chosen as adoptive parents, we promise to provide a child with a caring, stable home filled with unconditional love.

We want to thank you for your brave and selfless decision to consider an adoption plan for your baby. If we are the right family for you, you will always be an important part of the baby's life, and we are committed to full openness and ensuring you are comfortable and included.

Hello, we are Andrew and Krista! We cannot begin to imagine the feelings you must have while making this decision. We're sure you have gone through so many of these profiles, and we are so happy that you are considering us. After two years of trying to conceive without success, we took time to reflect on what we truly wanted for our future. What we realized was that our dream has always been to become parents--however that path may look. Choosing adoption felt like a natural and meaningful next step for us. We would love to have an open adoption so that you can maintain a relationship with the child. We hope to have the opportunity to get to know you and answer your questions as we continue this journey together.

To you, the expectant mother,

We know that right now, life is very difficult, and that you are making a huge decision. The choice is completely yours, and we believe that you will choose what's best for you. If you choose adoption and choose us as parents, we will welcome your child into our family and love them with all our hearts.

Even though we do not know you, we admire and respect you. Pregnancy takes strength, and making difficult decisions produces bravery. So in this moment, you are both brave and strong.

And to anyone in support of you,

This remarkable woman deserves your love, attention, and support, no matter her choice. And if you're reading this, it means that you're already by her side. Thank you.

Wishing you only the best,

Atish and Sophia

Hello,

Thank you so much for taking the time to look through our profile and learn a bit about us! We have a lot of love to give and are beyond grateful to think that you might be considering us. We have been praying for you and this child for a long time. And while we don't know you yet, we are already amazed by your selflessness, compassion, and courage!

Family means so much to us, and we want you to know that we wish the very best for you and your baby whatever you decide. We hope that we can eventually meet you, give you a big hug, and tell you in person how much you mean to us!

We have always wanted to be parents and if you choose us to adopt your child, we promise we will love that child with all our heart and support them in any way they need. They will always know their story and feel the love that their birth family has for them.

With Love,

Melissa, Bobby, and Rufus
