Thank you for taking the time to look through our profile. Although we may not know each other yet, we are in awe of the person you are. We admire the courage and strength that it has taken for you to get to this point. To be sitting here reading our words. We have never doubted for a second how much you love your child.

Hi Brave Parents!

We are honored and sincerely appreciate the opportunity to share our profile with you. We cannot begin to understand your journey and truly admire your bravery. We hope as you begin to learn more about our family, you will feel a connection of trust, openness, and love. As you process through decisions ahead, please know that we see you as a strong, confident, and courageous woman. It is our commitment to welcome you into our family as you desire. The journey is lifelong, and we hope ours come together through open adoption. Your child will always know your unconditional love for them. We are looking forward to raising a child to be kind, humble, and full of love and laughter. We will provide a life full of unconditional love, opportunities to grow, and experiences to learn. Thank you for including us in your journey.

Hello, nice to "meet" you!

We're Kristy and Ryan, writing to you from Texas. Thank you for looking through our profile! We know it's just words and pictures, but we'll try to show you who we are, so you can get to know us a little bit.

What an uncommon situation for us all to be in! Anticipation, uncertainty, and hopeful waiting. While we can only imagine what you might be going through right now, we wish you the strength to make the best decision for you and your child, and the peace of knowing you made the best choice for both of you.

If that decision is choosing us to parent your child, we look forward to learning more about you and hearing your story. And we hope we get to help your child write their own someday.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to learn about our family. You have a lot to think about and a lot to take on. There are so many plans you could make for your future and this baby's future. Adoption comes about with strong emotions for all involved. We see the strength and love this decision takes. We know that you are making hard choices about what is right for both of you. If we are lucky enough to be chosen by you for your baby's future, We are ready to love and embrace you and the baby.

Hi, we are Julia and Jeremiah! Thank you for taking the time to look through our profile. Our lives have been positively shaped by adoption, and we are eager to include adoption as the way to expand our family. We also recognize that the decision to pursue adoption for your baby is probably a complicated choice. As you continue this unique journey, we are wishing you the best in every part of your story.

Dear Expectant Parent

Thank you. Whether you choose us to raise your child or not, thank you. Without adoption, our family wouldn't be here. Wyatt's mother was adopted (from Gladney). Because her mother made that brave decision, we're able to be here writing to you now. Whatever circumstances brought you to this place and to meeting these families, we know that it hasn't been and won't be easy. Whatever you're feeling right now is valid. We hope that seeing the excitement, love, and care in these books will give you a sense of confidence and comfort through these next steps.

We are grateful for you, your courage and care, and that you're considering us to love and care for your child!

Thank you for taking a moment to read our story. We know that the path you're on right now is filled with many emotions and questions, and we want you to know how deeply we respect you and the love you have for your child. Whatever you decide, we hope you feel supported, respected, and confident in your choice. Thank you for your courage and for sharing this part of your journey.
