It is difficult to put into words how thankful we are for you. You chose life, and what a beautiful gift that is. We admire your courage and selflessness and we pray for you as you make this difficult decision. We cannot imagine the emotions you must be experiencing, and hope that you feel God's presence and love throughout the remainder of your pregnancy. We pray that you find peace in selecting a family to love and provide opportunity for your child.

We cannot express our true appreciation for your willingness to be open to an adoption plan for your child. Our prayers are with you in this important decision for your child's future. We pray for you to have peace in whatever choice you decide to make for your child. We pray and support you in whatever you choose, as we know it is not an easy decision.

We are excited to expand our family and are honored you may be a part of this journey. We want you to know that if you choose us to become the parents of your child, that we want an open adoption if that is your wish. We want to provide this child a loving and fun environment.

With Love, Nate and Joanna

Dear expectant parents,

We both meet here with our own unique stories that brought us here. We aren't sure if either of us would have thought we would be here today, learning more about each other and even ourselves. But we are both here because we have love in our hearts. Even though we don't know each other right now, know that we support you. We pray that you have someone or find someone who understands you and makes you feel like you are not alone. As we have learned, you're never alone! There are numerous parents that are in the shoes you are currently in, with their own unique circumstances that have brought them there. We hope you find them so you feel understood! Adoption can make a child's story unique as well and can provide them with more love than just two parents. The day we adopt a child, they will always know their story and where they came from. We pray that you have a healthy pregnancy with a healthy child. You have created one of God's most precious gifts that He will ever offer this world. We pray that they feel the warmth of a mother's love. That they have hands to hold and receive many hugs and kisses. That they do not feel alone and that they are comforted with a support system that they can trust. We pray that their life is full of fun adventures filled with peace and happiness. That they receive a life full of opportunities. We can not imagine the struggles that you must be going through, but know that we admire your strength and courage. We know that it might not seem like it now, but you are very brave. Trust in yourself and know that you will make the right decision for both you and your child, whether that decision be to parent or to continue with creating an adoption plan.

We hope you enjoy our story! With love,

Matthew and Kirsten

Hi! It's great to meet you!We're Michael and Oliver, and we want to share a bit about ourselves with you as you navigate this important decision for you and your child. Family is the foundation of everything good in our lives and we hope our words and pictures will show you the love, happiness, and unwavering dedication that we have ready to share.

Hi future family! Our names are Alison and Justin.

We met in a beach town in California in 2014. Very quickly in our relationship, we learned how close we both were with our families.

As things began to get more serious, we began having conversations about growing our family through adoption. We both know people who are adopted, so it's always felt very normal and natural to us.

We are so excited to give you a glimpse into our lives and hope to one day welcome you and your child into our growing family!

Dear Expectant Parents,

We know this is a challenging and unprecedented time for you and others in your life. We cannot imagine the stress you must be facing. It is our desire that as you navigate through this decision, we help you feel known, welcomed, and loved by us. While it is our dream to adopt, we also want you to know that you, as parents and family, are just as special as the child you are caring for. We know that we will adopt when the time is right. Our desire to know you, your story and help you process in any way we can. We do not want this to be a relationship that's transactional, but one that is personal and continues to grow throughout all of our lives.

Hey Mama,

We're so excited to meet you! We're thinking about you even though we've never met! Making an adoption plan is one that is deeply personal and we imagine you have a number of questions as you consider what'snext for you and your baby. More than anything, we are praying for you and wishing you clarity as you make this important decision.

You are considering hte great gift of entrusting our family ot care for and parent your child. We do not take that lightly. A host of emotions likely accompany this selfless act, and we are prayerful you find the family that eases your mind, gives you peace, and just feels "right."

Towardthe end you'll fi n da f e wempty pages because, as Natasha Bedingfield said, "the rest si stil unwritten." We look forward ot the next chapter of our lives with hope and anticipation.
