Dear Expectant Mother,
We are Angela and Brian along with Daisy, our eight-year-old
“puppy” boxer-mix. We hope this letter finds you well and that the morning
sickness has subsided. We cannot imagine what you are going through right now
and you must be feeling a flood of emotions from contemplating this lifelong
decision. We hope that this letter gives you a snapshot into our lives and we
cannot wait to meet you, if that is what you decide.
Angela is a registered nurse who works in an operating
room. She helps patients when they are at their most vulnerable and scared. She
is the one to hold their hand when they go to sleep and the first to hold it
when they wake up. She has a caring, nurturing soul that will make her a
wonderful mother. Brian is a computer engineer who loves to help others. When
he is not at work, he is working around the house on DIY projects, lawn
maintenance, or helping to fix a family member’s computer. He is a loving
person who cannot wait to be a father. He looks forward to teaching your
child about sports, learning to fix things, and showing them the world through
travel. He will be an amazing father.
When we are not working, we are spending time together on
projects around the house, maintaining our rental property, spending time with
family and friends, or playing with our dog Daisy. Both of us come from large
families. Angela has fourteen aunts and uncles with over 29 cousins who have
started families of their own. Brian is one of five children from his father,
but an only child to his mother. Both his parents had large families and he
also has over 20 cousins who also have started their own families. Needless to
say, family get-togethers are large and full of laughter.
We love to travel and try to get away often. We reserve one
trip a year as a vacation to a place where we have never been. Most of our
trips are to visit family throughout the country. Family is very important to
us and getting to see them is a great way to make everlasting memories. We
always knew we wanted a family from the moment we started dating. After going
through four miscarriages and failed IVF attempts, we decided adoption was our
next step. We want to have a child who we can show and teach about the world.
We want them to explore and learn what life has to offer them.
Please know that we promise to care and love your child
every day for the rest of our lives. We want to have an open adoption where you
choose how much you would like to be involved in your child’s life. We
understand that placing a child for adoption is one of the toughest decisions
that anyone could make. We also see it as one of the most selfless gifts anyone
could give and we would eternally grateful for this opportunity.
Lovingly,
Angela & Brian
