Letter to Birth Mother

To Birth Parent(s)

We respect you for the unselfish choice you have made concerning your future and that of your baby. Certainly, we cannot pretend to know how you are feeling at this moment, but we promise that your child will always find love, warmth, laughter, and protection with us. You will always be in our hearts and prayers as the generous bearer of our most precious gift. Always know your child will be treasured, cherished, and grow up surrounded by love.

We are 40 and have been together for ten years and married for six. Our home is filled with lots of love and happiness (not to mention silliness, music, laughter, and fun.) Scott is an Electrical Engineer with a Master's Degree and Angela is a Contracts Manager with a Bachelor's Degree. We have a strong marriage and enjoy playing golf, swimming in the pool, playing with our dog, and working on house projects. We frequently go to the local theatre, Ravens and Capitals games, and the Renaissance Festival. We take regular vacations to places such as the Biltmore Estates in NC, Gettysburg, PA and the Caribbean. With our family still in Florida we also travel there several times a year to enjoy family time and the beaches.

We live in a four bedroom home with a fenced-in back yard in a county with one of the best school districts in our state. We picked this area with the plan for children in our future. Our neighborhood is young and so are the families that live here. Of the 14 houses on our cul-de-sac, 12 have children that range from infants to teenagers. (We are one of the two homes that currently does not have children.) We have an awesome sledding hill for the winter and an in-ground pool for summer fun. We enjoy fun activities and want to share the joys of life with a child. We believe we have a lot to offer that special child. Since we didn’t get married until later in life, we are more mature and have already discussed how we would like to parent as well as what family values we’d like to instill. We are both firm believers that happy, successful children are those that have involved parents. We want to be those involved parents for your baby. We will encourage our child to develop their own talents and will provide opportunities for them to participate in activities that interest them. We want our child to be well rounded and involved in a variety of activities. Schooling is important to us, so we will teach them the importance of hard work and education. We will also show them how to be kind, thoughtful, and helpful to others.

Our child will know they were adopted from their birth. We will tell them often of the beautiful and special way they were brought into our home. You will always be spoken of with great honor and respect. Our child will know how much you love them and that your decision was made out of complete love.

We hope that this letter has helped you to get to know us and has piqued an interest in knowing us better. We would like to meet with you so that we can better know each other and determine if our situations are a good fit.

We have written this letter to let you know about us and our sincere desire to adopt a child. We hope that you will consider us in your selection process. Please let us know if we can answer additional questions.

Hoping to hear from you soon,

Angela & Scott
