Dear Birthmother/Birthparents,
Thank you so much for giving us the honor of reading our letter and looking at our profile. You have made such a loving decision. We have tried for many years to have children, but with no success. Knowing that you could make that dream possible for us makes us thrilled beyond words!
Here’s a little bit about us. We always say we were destined to be together. We met when I was 16, when I was working at a movie theater with Marty’s sister. He came in to pick up some free tickets from her. Two years later we met again, but didn’t realize we had met previously until two hours into our date. Marty said he remembered me working at the popcorn stand and he thought I was pretty. I remembered seeing him and thinking he was cute. I even remembered the black leather jacket he wore at the theater. We believe it was fate that brought us together. We’ve had a wonderful romance and marriage ever since. Now we hope to enrich our lives with a child and share all of our love and fun with him or her.
Some of the things we enjoy doing together include kayaking, boating, camping, hiking, biking, etc. We also include our little dog, Koda (the Puggle) in our adventures. Marty even taught her to ride on a skateboard with him. We also enjoy singing together. I sing at church on the worship team and Marty helps me practice harmonies. We look forward to teaching our baby to sing also. We also love going to Disney World. We visit there several times a year with our annual pass. We always have lots of fun whatever we do, which we hope is evident in our pictures. We look forward to bringing our baby on all of our adventures.
We both have amazing families who are extremely supportive of adoption – in fact, I have three cousins who are adopted, an aunt who was adopted, and another aunt who was a birthmother herself. So, adoption is a very natural and respected part of our family. Our group of friends is wonderful too. They are all so excited for us!
Now that you learned a little bit about us, we hope and pray that you will choose us as adoptive parents. We look forward to getting to know you.
Thank you for your loving choice. It takes a special person to make the decision you made.
Wishing you love and happiness,
Jill and Marty

Joel and Lorelei
Dear Birthmother,
Thank you so much for taking the time to read our letter. We admire your courage and selflessness during such a challenging time. The decision you make will affect your life, our lives, and the little one you are carrying. It is a life-changing event but we pray and hope that you will be at peace in knowing that your child will be well cared for and loved by the two of us and our families.
First, please allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Lorelei and Joel. We met through a mutual friend in 1996. We enjoyed a dating relationship for ten years before we finally married in 2006. It was a small, intimate, wedding at our favorite bed and breakfast. Lorelei obtained an AA degree at the local community college. She was sure that she wanted to work in the medical field but uncertain in what capacity. In 2002, she attended a private post secondary institution and graduated with a diploma in Health Information Technology. For the past six years she has worked as a medical assistant and is currently employed by a private doctor. Joel pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Information Science. He joined a corporation in 2003 as a controls technician specializing in building automation and computer networking.
We both value our jobs and have the shared desire to provide a good life for our child. We are both very family-oriented individuals. We enjoy traveling, attending family reunions, shopping, and simply relaxing at home while watching our favorite programs such as Friends. Joel’s hobbies include working out, computer programming, and playing computer games. Lorelei has interests in reading, researching on the Internet, photography, and shopping for her favorite items – purses and shoes! Every Sunday we attend church to thank God for the many blessings we have.
Our four-bedroom and two bathroom house is nestled in a cul-de-sac in a safe neighborhood where many children play. We have a backyard surrounded by a privacy fence, which would be perfect for installing a swing set and creating a sandbox. Our home is minutes away from church, excellent schools, shopping centers, and recreational parks.
After suffering the loss of our child through a painful miscarriage in 2006, we have come to believe that adoption is the path to parenthood that God has intended for us. We are ecstatic about becoming first time parents and are thrilled about the decisions that await us - from buying a crib to decorating the nursery in our home. We are so delighted and anxious to experience the joys of parenthood such as rocking our baby to sleep or reading a book before bedtime. We envision the happy childhood our baby will have growing up. All of the memories we will create celebrating holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter. We will support the interests of our child whether it is sports like basketball or dance lessons. We are excited to take road trips and teach our child about the traditions and values of our family. Most importantly, we will instill our faith in God in our child and make sure that our baby will know unconditional love.
Thank you for choosing life and adoption as the path for your child. Hopefully, this brief glimpse of who we are will lead to the desire to get to know us better. If we are fortunate enough to be chosen as your adoptive parents for the gift of life that you are carrying, please know and believe that our highest priority is raising that precious child in a home that is loving, supportive, and serves God. We will forever be grateful to you for your courageous decision and selfless act that allowed our dreams to come true.

Tom and Tammy
DEAR FRIEND,
We can only imagine what a difficult time this is for you. Our hearts go out to you in hopes that you make the decision that enables you to be at peace with the future of your unborn child. Only you can truly understand how you came to the difficult decision to place her for adoption, but we believe that what you want for her is to live and grow up in a family that is strong and secure, where a child can always feel safe and loved. We will always let her know what a wonderful sacrifice her mother made. As parents, we will always do what it takes to help her be happy and successful. Your gift is one that far exceeds all worldly possessions.
Although it is impossible to tell you everything about us, or show you all the love we share, we do hope this letter gives you a glimpse into our lives and the life we would hope to give a child. As you read, we hope to bring you comfort and a sense of security in considering us to raise your baby.
ABOUT US
Tom and I met at work in 1982 and have been together ever since. Our relationship started off as co-workers then grew into friendship and naturally a strong bond of respect and love ultimately ended in marriage. We have a strong and loving marriage of 24 years and are committed to each other. After all these years we are still each other’s best friends.
We’re a family that is full of love, stability and fun. Our number one commitment is to foster love between us and our children and to raise well-adjusted, loving individuals. We have a comfortable home with flexible time that allows us to participate in all aspects of our child’s life. Education is also important to us and we plan to encourage and offer our children the finest educational opportunities. We also have a very close and supportive extended family of parents, siblings, and cousins who all live within an hours drive. Family gatherings are very frequent and important to us. Our favorite place to be is outdoors where we love doing things like camping in our motor home with our family and friends, cooking out, attending sporting events, going to the beach, the park or our own pool, and just being together. Most of all, we love to travel and have been fortunate to go to all parts of the Caribbean, Aruba, Alaska, Mexico, the Bahamas and many parts of the United States. Like most families today, we both work. It allows us to live where we want, own our own home, and provide a better future for our family.
Our parents taught us to lead by example. They believed in respecting others, always to do the right thing, always look at each situation from all angles, accept the differences between each other and learn from them, work hard, play hard, laugh as often as possible and always appreciate what we have been given and never take it for granted.
Adoption has already played an important role in our lives as Tom’s mother was adopted, and we have friends who have also adopted. We believe that adoption is a natural and beautiful way to create and add to a family.
TOM (as written by Tammy)
I was immediately drawn to Tom’s sense of humor. He is talented, intelligent and friendly. Tom can strike up a conversation with just about anybody and his personality makes everyone feel at ease. He is fun loving and wants to make sure that everyone is always having a good time. Everyone that meets him senses his sincerity and trusts him.
Tom enjoys the self-professed title of “King of the Grill” at our house and we enjoy having family and friends over for cookouts and swimming in our pool. He’s a modern day dad, sharing in many of the household activities. He makes the family dinner at least once a week. He grocery shops and shares in the housework too.
Tom has a great sense of humor and makes my life very happy. I am so grateful to have him as my husband. We really are best friends. No matter what we are doing, we have fun. As with any relationship, we’ve had our ups and downs, but even through our toughest challenges, Tom has been my rock, giving me a shoulder to cry on and always managing to coax, at least, a smile out of me. He is the kind of man I have always dreamed about and the kind of father that has gone beyond anything I could have hoped for.
Tom is a fantastic father and uncle. He takes our daughter Jessica to the bus stop each morning and waits with her until the bus arrives. He is very loving and sensitive to her needs as a teenager. He has also driven an hour and a half each year to take our niece to school on the first day. Her father is not involved in her life and Tom has assumed that role. This really makes her feel special.
TAMMY (as written by Tom)
Tammy is a caring and compassionate person. Everyone who meets her instantly likes her
She makes our home the perfect place for family gatherings and creates wonderful memories for all
Tammy makes me whole. Tammy becomes more beautiful on the inside and outside every year. And she is the most wonderful mother
She is very close with all her brother and her 3 year old nephew. She is also very close with her mother; they share a very loving and close relationship. I can see this same relationship between Tammy and our daughter Jessica, and in fact, they are best friends. I know she will have this same compassionate relationship with any child we adopt.
Tammy enjoys interior decorating, shopping and spending time with her family. We have a beautiful home, mostly thanks to her, and all of our friends and family comment on how wonderfully it is decorated and warm and inviting. Tammy loves decorating our home for the holidays, from spider webs and bats at Halloween to bunnies at Easter and snowmen in the yard for Christmas.
Tammy enjoys her profession, which I think sets a great example for our daughter to her mother fulfilled by her career and extremely successful. She is a director of a large financial firm and well respected. Her boss is extremely family oriented and is very encouraging about our decision to adopt and supportive of being involved in our children’s daily activities.
OUR HOME/NEIGHBORHOOD
We own our own home in a gated, security guarded subdivision that is very family friendly. Our home has 4 spacious bedrooms, a pool and backs up to a nature preserve. The neighborhood is very busy with children playing hockey, riding bikes and just having fun being kids. Our neighborhood has many parents with young children, so our child would have a lot of friends. Our child will attend one of the best school districts in Orlando, and of course, will be close to all the Orlando theme parks. We are even season pass holders to Sea World.
JESSICA
Our daughter Jessica, now 17, is the light of our life. She is a beautiful, compassionate and loving individual. She loves children and whenever our nieces or nephews are over, they gravitate to Jessica. She can not wait for a little sister of her own to have pretend play with and take to the zoo. In fact, I think there will be some healthy competition amongst us to see who gets the privilege of dressing, bathing or rocking the little one to sleep!
Jessica is currently in all gifted classes, an A-B honor roll student and in a magnet program that is geared to a medical career. Jessica wants to either be an anesthesiologist or an ultrasound technician. She works with her dad each Saturday and volunteers each week at the local hospital.
It is because of Jessica that we understand that parenting is the most important and rewarding part of our lives. It is for this reason that we wish to bring another little girl into the family.
RAISING A CHILD
The little one will always know they have a warm, safe and loving environment with us. They will always know they can talk to us about anything and that we will listen to them, be supportive and give them the best possible advice. Above all we hope to teach our children to have an open and loving heart and a smile for everyone they meet. We will guide and nurture them to grow to become the unique and special individuals they were meant to be.
We would encourage a semi-open relationship with our daughter’s birthmother. We will send pictures, and create a website so you can keep up to date on her milestones. We plan to be open and honest with her about her adoption, biological background, and how blessed we are that God brought her into our lives.
We are eager to become parents and look forward to everything-- late night feedings, singing silly songs, and learning the ABC’s. We can’t wait to play blocks with a child, dig castles in the sand box, read a favorite book for the 100th time, take wonderful trips, tuck that first tooth under the pillow for the tooth fairy, build sand castles at the beach, and share our love everyday.
IN CLOSING
If you choose to entrust us with your little girl, she will always know that she was adopted. We will help her appreciate the immeasurable love that you have for her and that her future was secured in a family chosen by you. We will make sure that as she grows, she will know that you did one of the bravest and most generous things by giving this gift to us. She will grow up knowing of your generosity. YOU will be forever in our thoughts and prayers as well. You chose life for your child, and you have made the selfless decision of giving your child the opportunity for a better life. Together we will be there for your child to guide them though life’s endless adventures. We will be eternally grateful to you for the choices that you have made. By putting your child into our loving arms you are showing this wonderful baby that her well-being will always be put first. By giving your baby life, you are giving us an opportunity to make our family grow in love. There is no harder decision in life to make than this, but you can take comfort in knowing that choosing us to raise your child was the best choice that you can make as their birthparent.
We can provide unconditional love, security, affection, and warmth. Your child will be safe and loved with the certainty of a promising life ahead. We hope you will find what you've been hoping for in us. Our home and our hearts are ready. We wish you luck with your decision and peace in your heart

Arelis and Edgar
Dear Birthmother,
We hope our profile gives you a glimpse into who we are and what life will be like for your child in our family. While we cannot imagine what you are going through right now, we admire your strength to look at all you options and we think you are unselfish and caring to consider adoption for your child.
If you decide to place your child in with us, your baby will have a warm and loving home with two parents that are ready and will explore the world with your child. We will give your baby the best education that is possible, unconditional love and support.
Adoption is near and dear to our hearts, because our only niece was adopted five years ago. She fills our hearts with love and joy.
Let us tell you about ourselves: Arelis and Edgar
Arelis is an only child-she is very close to her family who lived in Puerto Rico. She had a long educational career –a bachelor’s degree in Biology, attended four years in dental school, and completed her two year specialty in dentistry for children.
Edgar is the youngest of three siblings, a brother and a sister. Her parents live in Puerto Rico and he is also very close to her family. He graduated as a mechanical engineer in 1988. He has a successful and prestigious career for over twenty years at a very important employer in this country.
Both of us have fulfilling jobs and we can tell you that we have a solid family foundation because we know that family is our first priority. It is something that perhaps we picked up from our parents and we hope to pass it along to your baby too.
We have a lot of interests, have traveled quite some, and are very open to different cultures, people and places. When we’re at home you’ll find us cooking together in the evenings, settling down to a movie, books or calls to or from family and friends. Travel is something we look back on, for all the places we’ve been, as well as to the places we’d like to go. We enjoy traveling once or twice a year abroad or in the US. There’s always something to see, take in and learn. We enjoy the outdoors, nature.
Our house is in a quiet neighborhood in a cul-de-sac, an older well established neighborhood with space to run and play. It’s a safe, quiet neighborhood with good schools nearby and we can imagine the great fun to be had for a child with us in the large backyard and all the family things to do in the area as well.
Of course there is the question, why adoption? Because we want to share this love that our parents had for us with your baby.
We thank you again for reading this letter. Should your decision and your heart carry your child our way, we will forever hold that child in our love, forming a family. Your child will know this without a single doubt – he or she is loved, knows love, and is safe.
Arelis and Edgar

If you decide to place your child in with us, your baby will have a warm and loving home with two parents that are ready and will explore the world with your child. We will give your baby the best education that is possible, unconditional love and support.
Adoption is near and dear to our hearts, because our only niece was adopted five years ago. She fills our hearts with love and joy.
Let us tell you about ourselves: Arelis and Edgar
Arelis is an only child-she is very close to her family who lived in Puerto Rico. She had a long educational career –a bachelor’s degree in Biology, attended four years in dental school, and completed her two year specialty in dentistry for children.
Edgar is the youngest of three siblings, a brother and a sister. Her parents live in Puerto Rico and he is also very close to her family. He graduated as a mechanical engineer in 1988. He has a successful and prestigious career for over twenty years at a very important employer in this country.
Both of us have fulfilling jobs and we can tell you that we have a solid family foundation because we know that family is our first priority. It is something that perhaps we picked up from our parents and we hope to pass it along to your baby too.
We have a lot of interests, have traveled quite some, and are very open to different cultures, people and places. When we’re at home you’ll find us cooking together in the evenings, settling down to a movie, books or calls to or from family and friends. Travel is something we look back on, for all the places we’ve been, as well as to the places we’d like to go. We enjoy traveling once or twice a year abroad or in the US. There’s always something to see, take in and learn. We enjoy the outdoors, nature.
Our house is in a quiet neighborhood in a cul-de-sac, an older well established neighborhood with space to run and play. It’s a safe, quiet neighborhood with good schools nearby and we can imagine the great fun to be had for a child with us in the large backyard and all the family things to do in the area as well.
Of course there is the question, why adoption? Because we want to share this love that our parents had for us with your baby.
We thank you again for reading this letter. Should your decision and your heart carry your child our way, we will forever hold that child in our love, forming a family. Your child will know this without a single doubt – he or she is loved, knows love, and is safe.
Arelis and Edgar

Bea
Dear Birth Mother,
Hi, my name is Bea and I want nothing more than to adopt a child. Pregnancy is not an option for me, yet I love children, and desperately want to be a mother. I have been trying to adopt for three years, with no success so far. I think the child that is meant for me just hasn’t been born yet.
I yearn for a child to love, cherish, guide, and watch grow. If given the chance, I want to provide my child with a loving, nurturing home life, and pledge to work hard to accomplish this with the help of my large, supportive extended family. I am the youngest of four children; and I have four nieces and nephews under the age of five, with the youngest being born on July 30, 2009. My child will have lots of cousins to play with!
My family is very close knit. We see each other almost every weekend. We enjoy playing card, board and video games together. The kids enjoy playing together, also, as there is a large play yard at my mom’s house, and a huge lawn. There are 30 people in the immediate family, so between birthdays, holidays and other social events, there is also always something to celebrate.
Thanks for taking the time to read through this letter. Regardless of whether or not you choose me as your child’s adoptive mother, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for choosing adoption. Thank you for loving your child so much, and for making such a difficult decision.
Yours truly,
Bea

Carlos and Christine
Dear Birth Mom,
Our desire in writing this letter is, first and foremost, to let you know how we feel about you. We respect your courage and are amazed at your selfless interest in the future of your child as you consider adoption. We know that you have difficult decisions to make; we also know that you will be blessed as you seek divine guidance in this decision. It truly is all about love. In this letter we want to share our experience with life, our feelings for each other, and help you get to know our family.
Our Decision to adopt We began trying to build a family in 2000. After being unsuccessful, we started talking with doctors and began down the road of fertility treatments. At the same time, we were beginning to research adoption. Christine was pregnant several times, but the pregnancies ended in miscarriage. We have decided that adoption is the way for us to fulfill our dream of becoming parents. The reason we wish to adopt boils down to our desires to provide a positive and hopeful option for you as a birth parent and to provide a child with a home with 2 parents that love each other and can provide the needs for their child. We understand that this was not a planned pregnancy and probably came as a shock, leaving you in a state of wondering what you could do. We are glad that you found adoption as your option. Choosing to place a child for adoption is very difficult and we respect you for placing the needs of a child as a priority.
About Us
Carlos and Christine met in 1990 during Orchestra class in high school. Once we had our first date, we quickly learned that we had many common values as well as some differences that help balance us out. We dated for six years before we were married in 1996. Together we enjoy quite a few outdoor adventures but our favorite is our camping trips to Disney World. We enjoy the togetherness and quality family time that you gain from sitting around a fire making smores or just taking a stroll through the park.
Carlos
Carlos was born in El Salvador and moved to the states when he was 11 years old, he grew up in Virginia. From the time Carlos can remember he was always involved in creating. He graduated from college with honors receiving a degree in video production. His passion for creativity is what makes him able to enjoy life and maintain his own production company. Carlos enjoys basketball, playing his bass, and going on many camping excursions. Carlos is an extremely loving and playful person. He spends his time off enjoying a good movie and fresh popcorn or a weekend away with Christine and the boys, our two dogs, Ringo and Nacho. Carlos truly can’t wait to share all his experiences and new ones with our child.
Christine
Christine was born in Alaska and grew up in Virginia. From the beginning there has always been a soft spot in her heart for animals and she has dedicated her work to manage and care for the medical needs of these four legged family members. Christine is very passionate about the things she cares about. Family has always been a priority in her life. Tremendously caring and attentive, Christine is able to provide all the love a child could ever want. She puts her all into everything she does and she will do the same as a parent. One of Christine's favorite things to do is to plan trips and vacations. She really gets into it and gets all excited when she finds some campground that we will enjoy or some cool attraction we just have to visit.
Parenting
As parents we will strive to provide the best for our child. We want him or her to have a happy, successful, and stress free life. We believe in a good education and look forward to helping our child with his/her studies, reports, art projects, and other activities. We look forward to finding out who they are and what they like to do, whether it's sports, art, volunteering, or traveling (or all of them!) We are financially secure and can provide our child with a home that is stable and grounded. We hope to help instill a good moral compass and guide our child in our Christian beliefs. Most of all, we can offer our child unconditional love. Our child has been growing in our hearts for some time now. We look forward to the day that he or she will grow with us in our arms and in our loving home.
We hope you feel our love and concern for you. You are in our thoughts and our hearts. We pray that you will be comforted and that God will guide you in your decisions. With all our love, Carlos and Christine

Tom and Diana
Dear Birthmother,
First and foremost, thank you. Thank you for being such a strong, loving and caring person. We would like to thank you for considering us in your search to place your son with a family. What you are doing is such a difficult and emotional choice and we commend you for having the strength and selflessness to be able to make such a decision. As you read through the various letters from families looking for that something special, we would like to let you know that whether the chosen family is us or another, we truly hope you find the perfect family and that you are able to find everything you are searching for. If we should be lucky enough to be that family, please know that we will do everything in our power to provide the most nurturing, loving and rewarding life possible to your child.
About Us
Some call us high school sweethearts while we call it graduation sweethearts. Tom and I met at the very end of senior year while working together at a local fast food restaurant. We dated and eventually moved away together when Tom started college. Even when we moved away, we never moved more than an hour away from our family and friends. We were married in June 2003 and some said we were crazy for getting married at 19 and most said we will never make it past the first year, but here we are against all odds 6 ½ years later...still married and happier than ever. We are each other’s best friend and confidant and wouldn't have it any other way. We have a beautiful three year old daughter named Kirsten whom we were blessed with through the gift of adoption in 2007. The addition of our daughter into our family was such an exciting time and we cannot wait to celebrate the addition of another bundle of joy into our lives.
Tom
Tom was born in New York and moved with his family to FL at age 3. His friends and family would describe him as the type of person you could depend on for anything. He comes from a very family-oriented background and is very close to his sisters and parents. Tom owns an Internet Marketing business and his office is located a few miles from the house. Owning his own business gives him the flexibility to be involved in things such as doctors’ appointments, trips to the park, family outings, and to spend quite a bit of time at home with his family.
Tom is very much a kid at heart and that is probably our daughter Kirsten's favorite quality about her daddy. Most times you can find them playing kitchen, in the pool, playing hide and go seek and a lot after those tiring days of playing....cuddling on the couch watching TV. Tom says his favorite part of the day is when he comes home from work and Kirsten goes running for him screaming “daddy, daddy, daddy”. He says there is nothing in the world quite like it.
Diana
Diana was born in Ontario, Canada and relocated with her family to Florida when she was 9 years old. Her friends and family would describe her as dedicated, nurturing and loving. Diana takes a lot of pride and joy in the things she does whether it be being a mom, wife, or working on her sewing. Thankfully, Diana is able to be a stay at home mom to Kirsten and intends to continue to stay home to raise all of our children. Diana and Kirsten are active in all sorts of fun things like mommy and me gymnastics, swimming, and play dates with friends, to name a few. Diana was a student teacher at a preschool during high school and believes children need to be given every opportunity to build the foundation for education and learning and she feels it's important to sets aside time to work with our children on the basics like colors, shapes, numbers, etc so they won’t feel so overwhelmed going into school.
Kirsten
On October 11, 2006 we were blessed with the referral of our daughter Kirsten. She was adopted from the beautiful country of Guatemala and after many enduring visit trips to see her and the emotional roller coaster of international adoption we made the choice that it was best that Diana move to Guatemala and remain with Kirsten in her care until she could come home to the USA. Diana and Kirsten spent 3 wonderful months together in Guatemala and they arrived home to their family and friends on October 4, 2007. Living in Guatemala was a wondering experience and one that left us with such a love for the country and its people. Kirsten is definitely a daddy's girl and everyone says her picture should in the dictionary next to girly girl. She currently attends a highly rated and well respected local Christian Academy in their Pre-Kindergarden program 3 days a week. It is a school that focuses on high education standards and we hope for all of our children to attend this school pre-kindergarden through high school. Kirsten will be such a great big sister as she is fun loving, caring, full of personality and loves to be mommy’s big helper. We do feel it is VERY important for our children to grow up knowing they were adopted, where they come from and the importance and understanding of what adoption is. Even at the tender age of 3 Kirsten can tell you she was born in “Gwwataaamoolaaa” as she calls it and mommy and daddy came and picked her up on an airplane. We celebrate her “Gotcha day” and even though she may not understand it fully yet we like to sit and talk about what Guatemala was like and about her birthmother and we have a special keepsake box with the only picture we have of her birthmother and a few special things from her foster mother to give to her when that special day comes that she is old enough to fully understand and we can share these special momentums.
Our Values and Education Plans:
Our intent is to raise our children to be kind, generous, fair and responsible. We live by the Golden Rule of doing unto others as we would have done to ourselves. We believe in good manners, respect for yourself and others.
Thinking about preschool, grade school and even college may seem so distant in the future but we feel that Education is something that we need to plan for now including enrolling to attend excellent preschools and grade/high school and setting aside funds for college so that our children have the ability to attend any college that meets their interests and needs.
Our Travels
Traveling is quite a big part of our life. With Tom's job we attend conferences in all kinds of major cities across the country throughout the year. We also love to travel to Mexico and the Caribbean and spend at least 2-3 weeks or more there during the year. One of our favorite places to visit is Ft. Lauderdale beach as Tom's family holds a family get together there once a year.
Family
We cherish the fact our families live so close. Both of our parents live within 5 miles from our house and our siblings all live within an hour from us. We believe it is very important for our children to grow up close to their grandparents and aunts/uncle. We know that should we need our family at any time that they would be there in a heartbeat! We enjoy spending the holidays as one big extended family and sharing in those memories together. They are all very excited for us to expand our family and are looking forward to a new bundle of joy in all our lives.
Our Home and Neighborhood
Our home was finished in 2007 and has 3 bedrooms, a pool with a safety net of course, a big playroom and lots of yard to play in. It is on a quiet and safe road and in a very low crime area. We are close to parks, good schools and the area has lots of other children to play with.
We appreciate you taking the time to read a little about us. The decision you have made is one of the greatest love and selflessness and for people like us, a baby to love is the greatest gift we could ever receive. We leave you with this: When most people find out are daughter is adopted the first thing they say is “Oh wow what a great thing you have done for her”.... and they get confused when we correct them and say, “No, our daughter and her birth mom are the ones who did the greatest thing of all.”
Warmly yours,
Diana, Tom and Kirste

Michele
Dear Birthmother,
Hello and Welcome! It is with the greatest sincerity that I am able to appreciate, honor, and respect the decision you are making regarding your loved one. I want you to know that I believe there are no words to convey or address the myriad of emotions that you must be feeling. At the same time, I believe that your decision will enable both you and your child to begin a happy, more successful journey, rather than one filled with stressful and negative experiences. In all regards, I hope you can find comfort in knowing that I will provide your child with an abundance of nourishment, love, joy, peace, respect, and guidance towards achieving a lifetime of success and happiness. Your child will have great (many) opportunities to explore his ambitions and to become the successful individual that I am sure both you and I will be most proud of.
I am a professional Mental Health Counselor and am also certified as an Elementary and Secondary School Guidance Counselor. I have strong beliefs in education, learning good values and behaviors, and accepting responsibility. My hobbies include caring for animals (4 cats and 3 ferrets), traveling and photography, gardening, learning, and doing different activities, especially if it is something new. I enjoy sports, outings, going to the beach, being with family, arts and crafts, and have a great sense of humor. Your child will be well cared for and well appreciative of celebrated holidays with family and friends.
My immediate family consists of two brothers and one sister. My mother and father live in Florida as well as my brother and his family. I grew up especially close to my brother since we were less than 2 years apart. We lived a very exciting childhood filled with activities which I will pass on to your child. My mother is a pianist and I will therefore give him the opportunity to learn an instrument of his choosing. As far as my other relatives, he will be visiting New York City and Colorado to become a part of their lives too.
I grew up in an Upper Middle Class neighborhood in Pennsylvania. I studied 4 years in college which included a 1 year stay in Germany. My undergraduate major was German and I have enjoyed extensive European travel (East and West). Part of my travels included visiting relatives for the first time, which was one of the most rewarding aspects of my life today. I will encourage your son to travel as well. In addition, I received my Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology and that is what brought me to Florida, where I am currently employed full time in the field of Counseling.
I currently live in a 2 story, 2 bedroom townhouse in an exceptionally well maintained gated community. I have a large back porch with plenty of ground. There is a very nice pool as well. The property also includes a very large lake and fountain, with walkway, which are absolutely beautiful during the day or night. My hopes of buying a new home will come true after my family is complete with the addition of a new child.
I am a very kind, compassionate, and caring individual. I love to help others and that is why I became a counselor. I have tried to conceive a child on my own, but have not been successful. My character is very genuine and trustworthy. I can and will always assure you of that. I hope that you will give me the opportunity to consider adopting and raising your child. I will love, support, and cherish him as a child of my own. He will feel safe, secure, and loved at all times. And remember, your decision and selflessness will always be respected and honored as he continues to grow.
May peace and serenity be with you.
Sincerely,
Michele

And remember, your decision and selflessness will always be respected and honored as he continues to grow.
May peace and serenity be with you.
Sincerely,
Michele

Dear Birth Parents,
We understand that this whole process has been difficult for you and choosing the right adoptive parents may be the most difficult decision. We would like to help make this process easier for you. We hope this letter, as well as our pictures, help to give you some insight into what type of people we are, and whether or not our home and family is the right place for your baby.
Our names are Gretchen and Larry. I am 32 years old, Larry is 36, and we have been married for 10 years. We met 14 years ago at Ohio State University. We began hanging out with each other through mutual friends, but quickly realized that we had a connection that went beyond friendship. We still to this day truly believe that we are soul mates. We dated for 2 years, and then we got engaged, but agreed that we would not get married until I had graduated from college. So, another 2 years later, I graduated from OSU with a Psychology degree, we got married and immediately moved to Florida. Needless to say, it was a very exciting year!
We started trying to get pregnant about 8 years ago. After 6 years with no success, I went to a couple different fertility clinics, but still had no success. They have been unable to explain why we can’t get pregnant. By the end of my second year going through the fertility clinics (which was last year), we had decided that adoption was the path we wanted to take. We are very excited about this decision and about welcoming a baby into our lives.
Larry and I enjoy many common interests, among them are camping, fishing, skiing, snorkeling and boating. We also like watching Ohio State football games since we both went to Ohio State. Larry enjoys motorcycles, and fixing up his motorcycle. He’s also an excellent cook, which is something he learned from his dad. I enjoy reading and jewelry making. I don’t sell any of my jewelry, but I love giving it as gifts! Music is also a big part of our lives. We love listening to music and we collect music memorabilia. We have 2 adorable dogs (Jake and Minko), which we take with us on almost all of our excursions. Jake is a Bichon Frise and Minko is a very lovable mutt. They both get along very well with anyone who visits us, including all of their children. We lead an active lifestyle and are looking forward to raising a child in a fun and active environment!
Larry is the plant manager for a family owned company that manufactures and sells replacement elevator parts. He has been working for this company since we moved down to Florida 10 years ago. We have really gotten to know, and become friends with the family who owns the company, so it has been a wonderful job for him, and he enjoys doing the engineering and programming that goes into machining the parts.
I am a dispatch manager for a company that services gas station equipment. I oversee the dispatch department who sends computer, mechanical, and construction technicians out to work on every aspect of the gas stations. Our company handles everything involved with gas stations, from building them from the ground up, to repairing all of the computers, registers, pumps and tanks. I worked as a dispatcher for a family owned company for the first 5 years we lived here. But, unfortunately that company went out of business. I then immediately got a job working for one of my previous competitors as a dispatcher, and have been working there ever since. It has been a very exciting and interesting career path for me. Once we have the opportunity to add a baby to our family, I will be taking 3 months off of work to take care of the baby. After that time, we will hire a caregiver to come to our house and take care of the baby while I’m at work, which may just be part time. Also, my mother and mother-in-law have agreed to stay at our house for weeks at a time to help us take care of the baby (and because they’re excited about a new grandchild!) My mom will be retiring from her job in less than 2 years and wants to move close to us so she can watch the baby while I’m at work. This will be my mom’s first grandchild, so she’s extremely excited. She’s already started picking out clothes and toys.
Larry and I are both very close with our families. We also both have large families with a lot of children. We have 6 nieces and nephews on Larry’s side. On my side, I have a lot of cousins that I am close with, and there are many children between them. We get together a lot with our families and everyone is very anxious for us to add a new baby to our gatherings!
We own 2 homes. We have a water front vacation home that has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. We keep our boat, canoe, and other water toys at this house. We often have family gatherings there, and really enjoy spending holidays there. The house we live in is also a 3 bedroom, 2-bathroom house. It has a large fenced in yard with a pool. We already have the safety fence for the pool. We live on a quiet street in a very family oriented neighborhood. We don’t live on a through street, so there is very little traffic. The elementary school is within walking distance from our house, and there are many kids who live in our neighborhood. Our community often holds fun activities like fairs and circuses that are always within walking distance from our house as well.
Larry and I hope you enjoy looking at our pictures, and we look forward to meeting with you. Should you choose us, we will do what we can to make this a positive experience for you and to provide a wonderful, loving, and fun filled life for our adopted baby.
Sincerely,
Gretchen and Larry

Hello Friend,
Never in our wildest dreams did we think we would be writing a letter to someone asking for the very most special gift anyone could receive, the gift of life. When I was thinking about what to write the very first thing I thought of was what an amazing woman you must be. We admire you in so many ways it seems that there are not enough words. I am so thankful there are selfless woman in the world such as yourself, because without you there would be a lot of couples like us that would never get the chance to become a family. I hope that you continue to read this letter and get to know who we are and what our hearts long for.
Our names are Christine and Brandon. We have been married for a little over a year. Brandon and I met through a mutual friend and we were instantly drawn to each other. We dated for about 2 years and married April of 2009. Our wedding was very much like a fairytale for us!! We live in a very family oriented neighborhood with our 3 dogs. Bowden is our Great Dane who is a sweet teddy bear. Harley and Max are our silly English Bulldogs. They are very spoiled and have been our “babies” for about 3 years now. Our neighborhood has 2 large community pools with large waterslides and tons of family activities. We live in a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom home and can not wait to hear little feet walking around. We love to do anything that is outdoors. One thing about us is that we find humor in pretty much everything. Brandon can always make me laugh even when I don’t want too. He loves to play golf and has joined a league that plays once a week. I love doing spin class ,yoga and trying to find new recipes so I can learn to cook better for Brandon. We have 2 jet ski’s that we take to the lake, which is about 5 minutes away from our house pretty much every weekend. We also love taking small vacations. We have been to the Virgin Islands and Jamaica, as you can tell we like to be on the beach. Disney World is also another one of our favorite places to go. We can’t wait to take our child places and show them what the world has to offer.
My husband owns his own company and this allows me to be a stay at home wife and hopefully soon a mom! I went to college for 3 years and was going to go back after our wedding to finish my degree in Psychology but our Doctors informed us that if we wanted a family we had to start now.
We both come from wonderful families. They have been so understanding and supportive of our journey to add a child to our family. This will be the first grandchild for both sides of the family and sometimes I think they are more anxious than we are, which seems impossible. We were both raised pretty much with the same parenting styles and plan on raising our children the same. We believe in being very open and active in our child’s life. We will always encourage their hopes and dreams. Any sport or activity they are interested in we will be sure to support in any way we can. We promise to love this child with every ounce of our beings. Our home is already child proofed with his/her room waiting for them!
We have been trying to conceive since our wedding night ;) We have done 3 IUI’S and 1 IVF. I cancelled my last cycle because I had a gut feeling it was not right to do it that month. We have always known we would adopt just because we thought that it is such a great gift to give a child. Little did we know that this child would be more of a gift to us!! We decided that me being on hormones was just draining me and breaking down the foundation of who I was. I had to ask myself if I wanted to be pregnant or to be a mother and then I realized that we are just ready to be parents, however that comes about. We then decided to look more into adoption. We prayed about it for a while and I just cant explain the joy and comfort that we felt just after one day of prayer. We know that we have so much love, support and guidance to give this child. We feel that we have everything else in life that we could ever desire, the only thing that is missing is this special child to make our family complete!!
I hope that reading a little about us helps you sense our heartfelt desire to be parents. We hope that you would consider placing this child in our home. If you did choose us it seems that saying thank you doesn’t even scratch the surface of our gratitude. You would be making us complete in so many ways and we will love this child beyond belief, as we already do.
With love,
Christine and Brandon
