Dear Expectant Parent,

Adoption is a journey shaped by love, courage, and complexity--for everyone involved. As we've walked this path, we've come to deeply respect the strength it takes to consider adoption. We want you to know that we've been holding you in our thoughts and prayers, whatever your story may be. We're praying for clarity, peace, and support as you navigate this incredibly personal decision. We believe that even in difficult circumstances, hope and beauty can emerge.

May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26 NLT

Dear Expectant Parent,

We know you are facing a very difficult decision and we admire your strength and courage. We look forward to getting to know you and hope that you find peace and comfort as you make this important decision.

Family is very important to us and is the foundation for a wonderful life. Our families are very close and cannot wait to welcome a child. Please keep in mind that your child will always know how much you love them and how selfless you were to make the brave decision to place them for adoption. We excitedly await to welcome a child into our home and we look forward to the journey ahead.

With a heart full of love,

Dear Birthparent, We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for taking the time to learn about us. We acknowledge the courage and strength it takes to consider adoption for your child. Whether you are certain about adoption or still exploring your options, we understand that this journey you're on is incredibly challenging.

If you do decide to create an adoption plan and select us as the adoptive parents, your child will not only be welcomed into our family but also embraced as an extension of yours. Your child will grow up knowing their adoption story, and they will be cherished and celebrated for their unique journey. Our hope is to create a warm and inclusive environment where your child feels a sense of belonging and connection, not only to us but also to you, their roots, and their heritage.

Most importantly, we want you to understand that we'll stand as their unwavering cheerleaders in life, wholeheartedly supporting them and ensuring they have every opportunity to pursue their dreams and passions. We pray that you find solace in whichever path you choose, reassured by the knowledge that your child will be surrounded by love, regardless of the decision made.

Dear Expectant Parent

We don't know your story or what you've been through. We don't know your background or where you're from. But life has brought us together, and given us the opportunity to share our story with you. Although we don't know you, there are a few things we are sure of; which is that you love your child, that you are strong, and that you have great courage because without those things you wouldn't be reading this. We hope as you look through this, you see the love we have for each other, our children, our family, and our community. We will channel this love towards you and your child.

Hi there! We are Kylie and Zachary. It has been a lifelong dream of ours to start a family, and we are so fortunate to have selfless mamas like you who can help make that dream come true. We are a military family who has explored all over the world with our two cats, Miso and Baker. This is just a glimpse into our lives; we hope to share more with you!

The Begining

In 2016, on Ally's birthday, we met. She was 18, and Cole was 20. From the moment we crossed paths, we knew it was something special--love at first sight. We couldn't imagine being apart, and soon, we were introducing each other to our families. Everything just fell into place.

A year later, Ally moved into Cole's cozy downtown apartment, and we started building our life together. After a while, we decided to plant our roots and bought a home in South City, close to our jobs.

In 2019, after three amazing years together, Cole proposed, and Ally became his forever. Our love story was just beginning, and we couldn't wait to see where it would take us.

Hello,

We are Jonathan and Kacey, and we are truly honored that you are taking the time to read our book and learn about our family. Wherever you are in this moment, we want you to know that we have deep respect for you. We understand that this season may feel uncertain, and we acknowledge the courage it takes to explore your options and consider what you want in this moment.

Because Kacey was adopted as a baby, we understand that adoption is not just a single event; it is a lifelong story. If you choose adoption and choose us to parent your child, we promise that we will love them wholeheartedly and unconditionally. We will create a home where they feel safe, cherished, and encouraged to grow into a healthy and thriving adult. We are committed to honoring your child's birth story with openness and respect, and to speaking about you with kindness and gratitude.

We are also open to an ongoing relationship in whatever way feels right to you. We would love to share photos, updates, and meaningful moments, and we would welcome a connection that supports your child and respects your comfort and boundaries. We believe a child can never have too much love.

Our child will grow up surrounded by steady love, adventure, laughter, good food, music, and the support of close friends and family who are ready to open their arms. Thank you for considering our family and for allowing us to share a little of our hearts with you.
