Dear Birth Mother, We are Larry, Louise and little Lucy example and we want to introduce ourselves to you.  We can’t begin to imagine what you are going through, but hope and pray as you make an adoption plan for your child you find comfort with your decision.

We have been married since March 2000, four years after we met.  We have wanted to adopt another child and welcome them into our home.  After much discussion and prayer, we feel confident that adoption is the right choice for our family.  We believe any children we adopt, and their birth mother’s, will be gifts from God.  Through our children’s life we will have a relationship with you (and our children’s birth fathers, if appropriate) that is comfortable for all of us.

My husband and I come from similar family backgrounds.  We both have various numbers of siblings and both of our parents are still alive and are very much a part of our lives.  We were both raised in environments that gratitude we feel for our parents has allowed us to pass this gift on to our children, including our little Lucy.

We believe in children and fostering their growth by helping them dream and set goals for themselves.  It is this precedence that sets the foundation for our core values.  Children are first in our family, little Lucy is thriving and doing well.  She is already making her mark on the world by helping the smaller children in Sunday school with their lessons.

Both my husband and I come from families that value education.  We both posses college degrees, my husband in physics and myself in business.  We will give our children the best educational opportunities we can.  Our plans are to have all our children continue to attend Catholic school up through graduation, then on to the college or vocational training center of their choice.

When your child is placed with us, we will both be taking time off work to help with the transition.  Once settled in, I, Louise, will plan on becoming a stay-at-home mom working from the home on a part time basis.

May God Bless You,

The Examples: Larry, Louise, and Lucy
