Dear Birthmom

To A Birthmother,

We think about you often—your roots, your story, the dreams you have for your own life, and the hopes you carry for your baby. We know that considering adoption is complex, bringing a whirlwind of emotions: deep love, strength, uncertainty, and sometimes, real moments of loss. We may not know everything you’re holding, but we already admire the heart it took to get here. We are genuinely excited about the opportunity to talk with you and learn more about you.

If given the opportunity to a part of your child’s life, we promise to love, cherish, and celebrate you both. We promise to lovingly retell their incredible beginning—how their brave mother made difficult choices, while also honoring her own wants and needs.
So, thank you, truly, for considering us to care for and love your little one. We look forward to getting to know you, hearing your story, and learning what matters most to you.

We will follow your lead on communication, openness, and visits—and we will never make promises we cannot keep.

If it feels right at any time, we would be honored to take the next steps together.

No matter what, we wish you nothing but kindness, support, and love—always.

With love,
Becca & Paul

Our Story

We first met on a high school band trip to Disney World. We were both a little quiet back then, both secretly hoping for someone to truly connect with. Something clicked on that trip—simple conversations, shared jokes, and the feeling of being completely at ease with each other. It wasn’t dramatic or flashy; it just felt right.

Through college, new responsibilities, and early adulthood, we grew up together. Paul joined the marching band while Becca started nursing school, and we supported each other through long days and big dreams. What really matters is how much we’ve grown since then. We often say that while we were each other’s firsts, what we have now is something entirely different—something intentional, steady, and earned.

We’ve weathered challenges, including a time when we realized we’d let our marriage fall to the bottom of the list. Working through that reshaped how we love, communicate, and show up. Today, we’re a team—when one of us struggles, the other somehow finds enough strength for both.

 Our Extended Family

Paul grew up as the youngest of three, and Becca the oldest of two, giving us the best of both worlds—Paul has go‑with‑the‑flow energy and Becca has a natural sense of care and responsibility. We were fortunate to buy a home in the town we love, staying close to the people that shaped us.

Becca’s family always hosted Christmas Eve in her childhood home, and we’ve continued that tradition—filling our house with food, laughter, and love. We can’t wait to see how those traditions grow with a little one.

Paul’s family is all about togetherness—BBQ Sundays and cheering on football, often at the stadium. Becca’s family leans cozy and calm: relaxing weekends and an annual week at the lake up north, a tradition she’s had since high school. We love how our families bring different types of joy into our lives.

We’re also lucky to have close friends who feel like family. We gather often for yard, board, and card games, with giggles echoing through someone’s house. Many of our friends are growing their families too and couldn’t be more excited for us.
Together our supportive circle creates a warm, safe space, and we can’t wait to welcome a child.

 Our Home

We live in a cozy two‑story saltbox home in a friendly suburban town within walking distance of downtown. Our neighborhood is full of young families, sidewalks, and places to explore. We love strolling to the farmers market, local festivals, and the mill pond, which has a great playground for kids. Nearby metro and state parks give us plenty of space for hiking, picnics, and outdoor fun.
At home, we spend time on our deck or curled up with our two sweet cats, Chester and Keebler. One of the best parts of living here is how close we are to family—one set of grandparents is just a block away and the other across town. We’re excited to create new traditions with a child in this community.

 Our Journey to Adoption

What I love about Paul is that he is: joyful, patient, and the kind of person everyone loves being around. He’s positive, organized, and full of quiet determination. He brings warmth into every room and kindness into every interaction. I know he’ll be an incredible dad—silly and playful, but also steady, encouraging, and gentle.

Becca has a heart that handles people with so much care. As a hospice nurse, she brings calm, comfort, and compassion to families during their hardest moments. At home, she creates a space that feels warm and safe. She’s thoughtful, nurturing, and centrally maternal. I know she’ll make our child feel deeply loved, understood, and supported every single day.
