We have had our share of heartaches in our attempt to grow our loving family. We lost our second child, Lorenzo shortly after his birth and have had several miscarriages. Our love for each other, the loving support of our family and friends and our belief in God have all served us well as we continue our mission of building a large and loving family.
Thank you for taking the time to read our letter. We would also like to thank you for considering us as possible adoptive parents to your baby. We are in awe of your courageous choice and want you to know you are giving a most precious gift. We know this to be true since we were blessed with a wonderful baby boy nearly two years ago through adoption.
There are so many things we would like to tell you. Thank you so much for looking at our profile. We hope you will be able to learn a little about us and want to learn more. First and foremost, we admire you for the selfless choice you have made. You have the ability to make a dream come true for some lucky couple.
We often daydream of what life will be like when our new daughter comes home. Our little princess reigns over the jungle gym in the back yard before getting ready for gymnastics or dance classes. Summers devoted to swim lessons at the community pool a few blocks away and family bike rides to get breakfast on the weekends. We cannot wait to curl up in the hammock for story time. Hours spent playing in a cheery nursery full of soft, cuddly bears and fun toys, decorated with brightly colored butterflies. Your selflessness could help make our dream come true, and we cannot thank you enough for considering placing your child with us.
It is difficult to find the words to express our gratitude and respect for you and your decision to give your baby life through adoption. We have a fantastic life together and feel that all that is missing is the child that we know we are meant to find through adoption. People have told us again and again that we are meant to be parents and that the child that is meant to be ours will find their way to us. We have hoped and prayed and dreamed of finding our child. Hopefully, because of your caring and generous decision our dream will come true.
We thank you for your selflessness and your offering to bring joy to our family. As a Firefighter with one of the largest departments in California, we have often been referred to as heroes. However the true heroes are people like you, an individual who gives life so that others may know joy. Should you decide to honor us to parent your child, please know that he or she will be nurtured, loved, and raised in a secure home and have our eternal love.
You may not realize it now and it may even be some time before you fully understand, but we see you as a strong, beautiful, and courageous person, everything we believe a child should grow up to be. The unselfish act you have chosen for your child will continue to bless so many for years to come. You will not only be giving life to a child, but you will also be giving hope to a family. To have made such a difficult decision and sacrifice so much of your heart shows how much you truly love this child.
There is so much we want to say in this letter. We want you to know that even though we’ve never met you, our hearts and thoughts are with you, and we send you wishes for strength and peace as you navigate through this process. You are such an incredibly strong and courageous woman to come so far on this journey. We want to tell you all about who we are and why we think we would be amazing parents.
Both of us were brought up in Christian based households where our values and beliefs have remained strong. Thank you for being the strong person that you are and know that you are an amazing, strong, unselfish person for making the decision you are making. You are right where you need to be at this moment in time, because some things you just know are meant to be!

We live in a tiny island community where neighbors are as close as family. We are so blessed to have a home right on the beach where we can actually say the ocean is our back yard. We spend the majority of our time enjoying the sun and surf and even in the chill of winter we find ourselves bundled up walking on the beach. What’s even more wonderful is all of our great neighbors.
Rick’s sister, who is also adopted, lives in the area and is looking forward to a new baby in our lives. She would like the opportunity to one day share her adoption story and be available to answer any questions her niece or nephew may have. Lisa has a large extended family who is also very excited about the addition of a new member to our family. All of her family members live just minutes away so we get together weekly, to enjoy Sunday dinner.
Although we don’t know you, we can imagine that you’re working through some big challenges. If you select us, your child will grow up knowing love, being well-cared for and feeling safe enough to try to do amazing things.
| Your strong determination, willingness to share and to give so unselfishly, shows what an incredible individual you are. We can’t imagine all that you’re experiencing, but please know that whatever your final decision, you’re doing a wonderful and special thing. |
