Our 7 Promises to YOU!

We're not going to write a common "Dear Birthmother*" letter because YOU are unique and we don't want to patronize your feelings or recycle what 99 million other adoptive parents have already said to you. This is a difficult choice you are thinking of making and while I've never been in this situation I am here to listen and talk to you, to support you and hopefully to make you smile. XO

We promise:

To give love freely and without any strings attached.

To honor you and the difficult decision you are thinking of making and never let our child forget how much you care for them.

To  make sure that you are ALWAYS supported emotionally. (There are tons of support groups online or local and we will support your journey with whatever group you choose) I know that you might need space as you start to work on healing  and I just want to make sure that you know that you are NOT alone even if you need to distance yourself from us.

To build a relationship with you. I want to know what is going on in your life so I can laugh and cry with you and I want you to know what is going on in ours because you will be a part of our family if you want to be. We will respect your space but gladly welcome you into our family.

To keep you updated about our lives so you have the opportunity to keep up on the baby's milestones and/or provide you with "care packages" of letters and pictures if you aren't able to access the Internet. If you are on the internet, have you SEEN our Facebook, Instagram,  and Twitter accounts?! We definitely post often!

To provide a life full of giggles and belly laughs, unconditional love, stability, a good education and encouragement to pursue their dreams.

To raise this child with a good sense of self-worth, compassion for others, a love of learning and a positive outlook on life.

I hope you enjoy reading through our profile. It was made with love and hopefully shows how we have crafted a life that we love and would enjoy welcoming a child into.

*Another reason we don't want to write a "Dear Birthmom" letter is because we know that you are not JUST a "Birth Mom"-you are SO MUCH MORE. Don't ever feel like you are penned in by a title. ♥
