Dear Birthmother,

Thank you for reading our letter and thank you for having the love and courage to consider an adoption plan. You have our utmost respect and admiration. It’s hard to express everything we want to say in one letter, knowing you could be a part of our family for the rest of our lives.

Our names are Heather and Alan and we will celebrate our ten year wedding anniversary in 2010. We were blessed with a son through adoption three years ago after our struggle with infertility, and would really like to complete our family with another child. We live in a nice three bedroom house in a suburban neighborhood near parks and good schools. We have a nice backyard for kids and our Cocker Spaniel.

Heather has been a stay-at-home mom since the day we brought our son Jack home. Her previous career as a teacher, has allowed her to come up with all sorts of creative activities for Jack and she throws herself enthusiastically into parenting. Heather sings, dances, makes up stories, plays games, reads books with great voices, and comes up with fun ideas for playdates and outings. As a couple, we enjoy attending sporting events, movies and amusement parks.

Alan loves to have fun with the kids. He has a good job as a real estate financial analyst for Raytheon and he always makes spending time with his family a top priority. Alan enjoys being the first adult to jump right into a kids’ activity, whether it’s playing T-ball, sitting at the little kid’s table or offering to hold his cousin’s baby while the parents eat.

Jack can’t wait to be a big brother and asks regularly when his baby brother or sister is coming. He gave his crib to his future sibling for Christmas and loves to pick out which of his outgrown clothes he thinks the baby will like. He is gentle with babies, loves to pat and comfort crying children, and is learning to share well.

Both sets of the baby’s future grandparents are overjoyed at the prospect of a second grandchild. Alan’s parents are waiting to fly from Florida to meet the baby as soon as he or she comes. Alan’s mother is from Peru and Alan’s family speaks Spanish, so we look forward to raising our children to know two languages, cultures and traditions. Heather’s parents consider themselves fortunate enough to be retired and live nearby, so they can’t wait to spoil another child on a regular basis. Both Alan’s brother Justin and Heather’s sister Gretchen are very musical and love playing with kids.

Our family began as a couple very much in love. We were thrilled with the addition of our son though adoption. Now we pray daily for you and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering a decision to help make us a family of four. We pledge to you that we will always love each other and both our children with all of our hearts.

Sincerely,
Alan & Heather
