Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter and hopefully look over our profile. We can’t imagine how difficult this choice may be for you to make for yourself and your child and are hopeful that you may feel that we are a good match for being a home that you might consider for your baby.
We promise to provide a loving, caring, and supportive home for
your baby. A home that is accepting, open, and that allows space to talk things
out and listen to what each family member has to say. We promise to encourage
incorporation of your child’s heritage if it differs from ours or our
experiences so that they feel supported in whatever way possible. We will
promote your child’s continued growth and learning about themselves and the
world around them, and help them find individuality. And we will help them find
things that bring them joy and happiness in their lives as they grow up.
We will teach and raise your child in a way that you would want
for them. We will teach them to be loving, accepting, and compassionate to
themselves as well as to others. We will teach them to support differences and learn
how to build healthy relationships with other people when they want to and how
to set boundaries when needed. We will help them to understand and learn that
though there may be things that are hard and challenging in life that those are
often opportunities for us to learn, grow, and strengthen as a person. And they
will know that those challenges might be similar to what you, as their
birthmother, may have experienced with the hard and challenging decision you made
for them.
If you choose us to be the parents of your child, we will be open
and honest about your child’s adoption as they grow up. We will find
age-appropriate ways to share this information as they get older, so it is in a
way that they understand. We want them to feel that they are allowed to ask
questions and talk about it if they want to. We will share whatever information
that we know or are allowed to share. We want them to understand that this was
a really hard choice for you as their birthmother to make and that you made it
because you felt that it was the best choice for them. And that that really
hard decision allowed us to have them in our lives when we weren’t able to have
our own biological child, and how grateful we are for that.
Thank you again for your consideration of us as potential parents.
We promise to be loving, caring, and compassionate parents, and that we will
show your child that they are loved no matter what. We hope to have the chance
to speak to or meet you in the future.
Thank you for your consideration,
Claire and Dustin
