Hello!
I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I can only imagine the strength, courage, and selflessness it must take for you to consider this plan for your baby. I am honored that you are considering us as adoptive parents of your baby. Your child will be proud of his/her adoption and always think of you with love. I would like you to know that if you do choose us, your child will have a home full of warm hugs, laughter, security, and unconditional love.
We have decided to adopt because of my medical condition of being Insulin Dependent Diabetic Type I. My doctor has recommended to me that I should not try to become pregnant because it could cause harm to our baby, to me, and/or both.
I first met Ed about ten years ago and he asked me to lunch and I declined two times! We did keep in touch throughout the years, which grew into a great friendship, then romance and now happily married. I feel very fortunate that I said yes, on our second chance years later. Ed and I have been together for over five years. He is my best friend and the most giving, good-natured person I have ever met. He will be a hands-on father and is looking forward to it, from feedings to diaper changes and even getting up in the middle of the night.
We are very fortunate to live close to a large extended family and friends. We all live close enough to visit each other often and share in birthdays, holidays, and special times.
We also have extended family and friends that live in other areas of Oregon, from Portland to Bend and beyond and we are able to see them often as well. We look forward to being able to share more of those times with our own child being involved.
We will raise a child with strong and consistent values, love, and integrity. While our life together is happy, it is not complete without a child. We are very excited to have the opportunity to become first time parents. We live in a Portland neighborhood that is filled with children, good families, great schools and close parks for our child to play.
Thank you again so much for taking the time to read my letter and look at our family book.
Sincerely,
Tobi
Hi!
First, I would like to say thank you for taking the time to look at our book and considering us as adoptive parents. Tobi and I have been together for over five years and first met each other ten years ago.
I was first attracted to Tobi because she was easy to talk to and could make me laugh. Over the years, our friendship grew into romance and starting out the way we did, made a great foundation for our marriage.
Our extended family is very large, from babies to grandparents, from Portland to Bend and beyond. All of Tobi’s family has accepted me with open arms as my family has accepted her with open arms as well. Tobi and I would love to share that with a child. We are big on family and like to get together for BBQs, birthdays, kids’ sports games, kids’ recitals, or just because it is a sunny day.
We both look forward to the joys of raising a child. We will support our child emotionally, financially, spiritually, and educationally. Our home will be filled with love, humor, and faith. We believe parenting is an equal partnership. We will be nurturing parents showering our child with lots of love and offering unconditional love and support.
We would love to share our life, family, friends, and our home with a child. We will be honored for you to consider us as adoptive parents of your child. Your child will always know your love, courage, and the precious gift that you placed in our lives and hearts. We are looking forward to sharing all the details of our meetings and conversations with you with your child. We are very open to discussing the amount of contact that would be mutually comfortable and fulfilling and best for your child. We will cherish your baby with love and support and we will provide a loving and secure home for a child to flourish in.
To have a child to share life with would make our family complete.
Thank you again for taking the time to read my letter.
Sincerely,
Ed
