Dear Birth Parent,
We are very grateful you’ve taken the time to consider us to be a part of your and your child’s life. We recognize you have many important decisions to make for yourself and your child, and we want you to know we respect whatever path you choose.
A little about us—
We have known each other since we were very young and grew up in the same community. Over the years, our relationship grew from friendship into something much deeper, and we have now been married for several years. Building a life together has been one of the greatest gifts we’ve experienced.
Our home is full in the best kind of way—busy mornings, kids riding bikes up and down the street, reading together on the couch, and spending time outside whenever we can. There’s often music playing, kids laughing in the background, and someone asking a question or telling a story. It’s not perfect, but it’s steady, connected, and full of life.
We have five children who are close in age and genuinely enjoy being together. They spend their days playing, reading, exploring outside, and building friendships. There is a lot of joy in our home, and also a lot of care for one another.
We have talked with our children about adoption, and they are incredibly excited. They often ask questions and talk about what it will be like to welcome another sibling into our family. It has been something we have approached openly and intentionally, and they already carry a sense of love and anticipation for this child.
Family life is something we deeply value. We spend a lot of time together—whether it’s simple routines at home, bike rides, time outside, or gathering with friends. We also have a strong, supportive community around us, and many of our closest relationships are rooted in that. Our children have friends nearby, and life feels shared and connected in a way we are very grateful for.
We also believe in creating a home where children feel safe to be themselves. We want our kids to feel known, supported, and encouraged as they grow into who they are. We value kindness, honesty, hard work, and caring for others, and we try to model those things in our everyday lives.
As parents, we approach our roles with intention. We want to raise children who feel secure and confident, who understand they are deeply loved, and who know they have people around them who will walk with them through every stage of life.
Adoption is something that has been on our hearts for a long time. We don’t see it as something separate from our family, but as a natural extension of it. We believe there is a child who will be part of our story, and we feel honored at the possibility that it could be your child.
We also want you to know that we respect whatever decision you make. This is your story too, and your love for your child is clear in the way you are considering what is best for them.
If you do choose us, we would welcome your child into a home where they will be surrounded by love, laughter, stability, and strong relationships. They would grow up with siblings who are excited to know them, parents who are committed to them, and a community that will support them.
But more than anything, they would grow up knowing they are loved—by us, and by you.
With care and gratitude,
Timothy & Emily
