Dear Birth Parent,

We know that considering an adoption plan is one of the most significant and loving choices someone can make, and we admire your strength, courage, and the care you're putting into this journey.

We hope that by sharing a few photos of us, you can begin to imagine the kind of life we would offer a child—one filled with unconditional love, support, laughter, warmth, and opportunity. Whether or not you choose us, we sincerely hope that you find clarity and peace as you move forward.

Here is what we promise to a child and to you:

• To always do what is best for the child, putting their needs and happiness first.

• To honor your story and speak of it with love, honesty, and respect.

• To raise a child in a home where they feel deeply loved, supported, and safe.

• To nurture their education and inspire their curiosity.

• To encourage them to dream big, work hard, and follow their passions.

• To help them grow with compassion, confidence, and a sense of purpose.

• To embrace life’s challenges with hope, grace, and laughter.

• To celebrate their unique identity and the journey that brought them to us.

We also want to honor your role in their story. We are open to maintaining contact in whatever way feels right to you—through updates, photos, or visits. We believe in speaking of your love with honesty and respect, and in embracing a child’s full story, including where they came from and the people who love them.

Thank you again for considering us. We can only imagine the weight of this decision, and we are deeply grateful for your strength and heart. If chosen, we will give everything we have to raise your child with unconditional love, unwavering support, and a life full of possibility.

With love and respect,
Melanie & Long
