Dear Expectant Parent(s),

We recognize the road that brought you here may have been a tough one, full of hardships and hard decisions. Your choice of adoption or to parent may not be clear to you yet. However, we know that whatever path you choose, that choice will be made out of love.

We don't know you. But know that we love you. We love your child. And we hope nothing but the best for you and wherever life takes you.

Hello!

We want to first thank you for taking the time to get to know us. While we do not know the exact circumstance that brought you to Gladney, we are glad you are here. We understand there are many difficult choices ahead on your journey. Our hope for you through this process is to find peace, hope and understanding, whether you decided to parent or create an adoption plan.

As we start this adoption journey, we are also filled with so many different emotions. We are excited for this new chapter in our lives and the possibility of becoming parents, but we would be lying if we didn't say there is still a little anxiety in the unknown. What we do know is that we are ready to bring a child into our home. Should you choose us as adoptive parents, know that our hearts and our home are open to you and your family. No matter where this journey may take you, know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

With love, Mary and Andrew

Thank you for your interest in getting to know us and our history. For us, it's important that you know that we honor your act of love and that we recognize how difficult making this decision must be for you. We think that you are a responsible, brave, and generous person for considering it. Rest assured that we will always do our best to ensure your child grows in a healthy, wholesome, and loving environment.

Welcome to our profile! We know this may not be where you imagined yourself when you found out you were pregnant, but we are thankful you are here. We hope this shows you a small glimpse into our family life, and that it may fit into what you are looking for for your child. We know that you are considering adoption from a place of love but also from a place of sadness. We imagine the thought of adoption can be difficult and emotional and we want you to know that we are here to be a support system for you.

Hi there!

First off, we would just like to say, thank you for taking the time to get to know us better.

Our names are Cody and Morgan, and we are unbelievably grateful that you are taking the time to learn about our family and look forward to hopefully getting to know you as well.

We understand that the decision you are considering is as equally courageous and selfless as it is challenging and scary. There are so many emotions we feel and cannot begin to imagine the emotions

you may feel as well.Throughout our journey, we have learned that when making a

monumental decision such as this, it is important to talk freely about how you're feeling and any fears you may have.

We hope that you have someone in your life that you are not only able to discuss those feelings and fears with, but also your hopes and dreams for the future.

While you have some tough decisions ahead of you, please know that you are incredibly brave, and we commend you.

We know that you wish for your child to have a loving family and bright future, whether that is through you choosing to parent or making an adoption plan.If you decide on an adoption plan, and select us as the adoptive parents, we promise to love your child unconditionally, and to welcome you both into our lives with open arms.

With Love, Cody, Morgan and Raegan

We don't know you, but we have thought about you. We're not sure if you'll choose us to become a part of your child's story--your story-- but we want you to know that we respect you and think you are brave. The decision you are working on is one of courage, selflessness, and strength. We imagine that this is a difficult time for you. But we also know that with whatever family you choose, you'll be making a family whole.

We can't know how you're feeling, but we hope that after reading this, you can feel some strength and pride in your journey. We hope you are feeling supported and loved in your decision-making.

We want nothing more than to have a baby, become parents, and raise a family. We've also learned that it's the twists, surprises, and messiness of our stories that makes us vibrant, interesting, and beautiful at the end of the day. Adoption is hard, but it is also vibrant, messy, and beautiful. If you feel we're the right fit for you and your child, know that we are here to support you and embrace the messiness of adoption together. We want our child to know their birth mom, know what her smile looks like, know her laugh, and know that they are loved by you. We want to love and support them as they become their own person and build their own life story. And we'd be honored for you to be a part of that story, if you choose.

Thank you,

Bud & Sara

Thank you for taking the time to look over our profile. We understand you have a difficult journey ahead of you and we wish you peace as you navigate your path forward.

Hello!

From the start, we want to tell you how much we have poured over what to say in this letter, and we still feel we struggle to find the right words. We can only imagine what it's like for you to be in this position, to be making such a scary and difficult decision that must feel like a turning point both for you and your baby. It must be such a confusing time, and we only wish to be able to offer you peace with that decision, whether you choose us or not. What we can promise to you is a stable, loving, supportive home full of education, empathy, and laughter for your baby. We have both known for so long, even before we met, that we want to be parents. When we met, we knew that this was the person we wanted to share a child with.
