Dear Birthmother,
We would like to thank you for considering us as your baby’s adoptive parents. We admire the courage it took in deciding to give your unborn child the gift of life. We have great respect and appreciation for the birthparents and the decision(s) you face. We can assure you, your baby will be cherished and showered with more love and affection than one can imagine. If we should be chosen by you, this would be our second child. Our first child was adopted as a new born five years ago this March. His name is Brayden and can’t wait for a brother. We have always wanted children but for medical reasons, have turned to adoption as a way to complete our family.
We wish you the best in your quest to provide a good home for your baby and we hope that you will consider us as adoptive parents.
Scott and I met at my cousin's graduation party and have now enjoyed eight wonderful years married to one another. We live in a quiet residential community with a neighborhood that is filled with friendly faces and wonderful people, many of whom are starting families of their own. There is access to a good school and plenty of local parks and playgrounds.
Scott is a college graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Natural Resources Conservation and Environmental Geography and works for a city as an Environmental Programs Inspector. Erin enjoys her work as an Administrative Assistant. In addition to occasional travels, we enjoy spending time at home watching movies, play around with our dog “Winter” and spending time with our family and friends. Our other interests include going on walks, working in the yard, golfing, fishing, soccer, camping, going to the beach and occasional charitable activities. We participate in the Heart Walk for the American Heart Association every year and Scott has ran in the LA Marathon and plans to do so again this coming year.
Although we can only begin to understand the difficult decision in which you are faced, we do share the same objective; and that is to have your child to become a part of a happy and healthy family who can provide the caring and loving environment that the child deserves. We believe that we can provide this atmosphere along with exposure to a large extended family. Our families are important to us. Since we live close to our families, we get together often to celebrate the holidays, birthdays and have barbeques. We also have an annual camping trip that we all get together for at a lake near grandma’s house. Our families have expressed their excitement and support and are waiting anxiously to welcome a new member to the family.
Our love for children, mutual desire to parents and love for family are bonds that brought us together and keep our relationship strong.
Adoption is our way to be parents and we want to thank you for considering us for such a special journey.

Sincerely,
Scott and Erin
