Letter to birth mother
Our names are Robert and Anne-Marie, and we have been married for eight years and together for ten. We are so glad that you have stopped to read our letter and want to thank you for considering us to be parents for your child. We wish you could meet us in person first rather than read this letter to get to know us, if you could look into our eyes, you would see how much we already love this child and how excited we are to be parents!
As excited as we are, we want to acknowledge your feelings and can only imagine how tough this decision is for you. We often talk about the traits of a birth mother… it takes bravery, selflessness and unbelievable love to consider adoption for your child. We understand that this is not an easy decision and that you want to select the right family to raise your precious child, one who is financially stable, loving and can provide opportunities that this child might not otherwise have. We promise to provide a safe and loving home for your child, and we promise to always be honest with your child about their adoption story. Adoption is a special story, it is a story that God has woven together in Heaven, and you are a part of that story. We want this child to be proud of their adoption story…adoption is a beautiful portrait of God’s love for His children and we are looking forward to teaching this child about their adoption, and how it mirrors God’s adoption of us into his kingdom.
If you choose us to adopt your child, we will be so excited that we might just jump up and down on our bed! We love to have fun and be silly, which is one reason we think we will be great parents. Lots of families you search will likely be great parents, but what makes us unique is our ability to turn a chore into a good time. We might be working in the yard and making up a song about having to mulch our flower beds, or making breakfast in the morning and dancing (no music necessary) while flipping pancakes. We love to travel and experience new adventures; we truly have a zest for life…there’s really no other word to use. We imagine your child having fun in the yard with our dog, and laughing and smiling with our friends and their children. With every fiber in our being, we want to be parents. We want to love a child, raise a child, give them opportunities and help their personality flourish by encouraging them in their strengths and interests and helping them to overcome their fears and struggles. We are certainly open to sending photos and letters. Robert loves taking pictures so I know we’ll have so many exciting memories to share with you. Whether it’s a quick photo from our phones or with our nice camera, taking pictures and sharing them is something we are excited about doing!
Like many couples, we struggled with infertility for three and a half years – God had a different plan for our lives and we firmly believe now that God’s plan for us is to adopt. Through infertility we realized that the goal is not to be pregnant, it’s to be parents. This will be our first adoption but we have plans to adopt more children in the future so your child can grow up with siblings who are also adopted!
Thank you for reading our letter and for considering as as parents for your child. We hope that we have given you some idea of who we really are and how honored we would be to welcome your child into our family.
