Dear Expectant Mom,

The first thing we want to say is this: thank you.

Thank you. If it was not for you, we could not build our family. If you choose us, please know you will always be a part of it — as much as you want to be.

We cannot imagine how difficult this must be for you, but we hope to support you and include you. Your act of selflessness and the desire to find the best home for your baby cannot be denied. We want you to please take comfort in knowing that we intend, from the bottom of our hearts, to be the best parents to your child. We both grew up in loving and supportive homes, remaining very close to our parents and siblings and we have a strong support group who are incredibly excited to welcome your child into our family. Your child will always know about you, and he or she will never feel less than because we did not conceive him or her ourselves. It was you who helped to make our family complete.

We promise your child will have a life of love, encouragement, security, and joy, and we will always be there, no matter what challenges may come our way.

Thank you again for the decision you are considering. You will make this choice from a place of love, compassion, and strength, all principles that we will instill into your child — OUR child. Thank you for trusting us.

With love and respect,
Jesse and Lacey
