Dear Birth Mother:
We have created this page for you in an effort to give our adopting families the opportunity to share their family, goals, attributes and values with you as they await the adoption of a child. Please feel free to scroll through the families below to get acquainted with them. Make sure you scroll down in the text as well as pictures are usually at the bottom of each profile.




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.
Lorelei and Joel















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
Best Wishes,
Tom and Tammy























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























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

























































Congratulations! We are so happy for you! Jill and Marty are matched with a birth mom and will have their baby this April!!
God Bless from all of us at
Hope For Families!





















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
