Mike and Diedre:
Our names are Deirdre and Michael. Three years ago, we had the joy of adopting our son, Michael, and we are now the proud parents of a wonderful, little boy. We feel that God brought the three of us together as a family and we hope He’s not finished yet. We have so much more love and time to give. We actually miss changing dirty diapers, 2 AM feedings and figuring out the difference between I’m hungry and I-just-want-someone-to-hold-and-rock-me cries.

Hi, we're Blynn and Chris. As you start reading our letter, we're sitting somewhere with our fingers crossed, hoping you'd like to get to know us better after all, we already share at least a couple of things in common: This letter is probably as nerve-wracking for us to write as it is for you to read. And more importantly we all want your child to grow up happy and loved, with every opportunity to succeed in life.

Thank you for considering us as loving parents for your child. We are honored to think that you are taking time to read about us and the unconditional love that we will give to your child. We admire and are humbled by your courage and strength by choosing adoption for your child. We cannot imagine how you feel, or the emotions you are going through, but we hope that you find comfort in knowing that what you are doing means more than what words and emotions can convey to a childless couple such as ourselves.

Marcia and Michael:
We're Marcia and Michael. Thank you for taking the time to explore who we are as individuals and as a couple. We are very grateful for the love, courage, and strength that you have to be considering adoption. We have both always wanted to become parents and to start a family. But after our biological clock ran out early, we realized that our family was meant to grow through adoption. Adoption was a very easy choice for us because we want to have a baby, not for the sake of creating small clones of ourselves, but for the sake of sharing this beautiful world with a little soul.

It is with great humbleness that we now tell you about ourselves.

We know this is a difficult and heart-wrenching decision for you. We admire your courage. It's hard to imagine you could get to know us just by reading this letter.

We want to do whatever feels most comfortable to you.

Cheryl and Ken:
We are Cheryl and Ken. We appreciate this opportunity to tell you about ourselves and our dream of expanding our family through adoption. We have always planned to have two children. After six years and two miscarriages, we were blessed with the birth of our daughter Kendra in January of 2010. Because of the difficulties Cheryl experienced with Kendras pregnancy, our doctors told us that adoption offers us a better way of having another child than trying to give birth to one. We know that a biological connection is not the basis of love.

Scott and Elizabeth:
Thank you for reading our letter. Unusual, isn't it, to meet this way? We hope you will get to know us a bit after reading this and that we will become more to you than simply words on a page. Our names are Scott and Elizabeth, and we're hoping to create our family through adoption. We have known for some time that having children biologically would be a serious struggle. It didn't take us long to realize that adoption is the path we wish to travel. We cannot wait to begin this fantastic journey!

Missy and Joe:
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Never in a million years did we believe we would be writing a letter like this. As children, we grow up believing that people just grow up, get pregnant, and have babies when they want in their lives. That isn't the case with us. We have struggled with infertility for 9 years, and we hope that you will be able to help make our dreams of a family a reality. Please allow us to introduce ourselves and tell you a little about our lives and our hopes and dreams. We are Michelle and Joe.

Blaine and Nicah:
As we write this letter, we can only imagine what a challenging time this is in your life. We admire your courage for putting the needs of your precious child first. We understand that this is the hardest decision you will ever have to make.

Stephanie and Tom:
We are Tom and Stephanie. We are grateful for the chance to tell you about ourselves and about our dream of adopting a child. We hope that you will honor us with the privilege of raising your baby. Pursuing adoption wasn't a difficult decision. We have been married 10 years and have been unable to conceive. We decided that it hardly matters whether our child shares our genes. What's most important is creating a family very much like the one each of us came from. We have been blessed with great parents and wonderful siblings.

Keith and Lisa:
We fell in love and married four years ago. We can't believe our good fortune in meeting each other. We count our blessings. But there's one blessing we miss, and that's children. In spite of medical assistance, we haven't conceived. Adoption gives us the opportunity to realize our dream of being parents. We honor your decision to secure your baby's future through adoption. With us as parents, your child will know that you made an adoption plan because of your profound love for your child and because you wanted your child to have a bright future with unlimited opportunities.

Kristi and Ryan:
We are Ryan, Kristi, Griffin and Simon (and our two dogs, Samson and Kaiser). We are so thankful you are taking the time to read our letter and allowing us to introduce ourselves. Since you are considering adoption, we want you to know how courageous and selfless we think you are. We understand that this is an emotional, difficult time for you as you decide how to provide the best possible life for your child. We truly respect and honor you. We hope that this letter allows you to learn about us and our family and what is in our hearts.
