Dear Birth Parent,

We are incredibly honored that you would consider us to be the adoptive parents of your precious child.  We are inspired by your courageous decision to give your child life, and understand that it is being made out of love for your child.  If you decide that we are a good fit for your child, we want you to know that they will be loved and cherished as a member of our family not only by us, but our family and friends as well.

Our names are Lauren and Will.  We both grew up in Oklahoma City and attended the same church.  We’ve been married for almost three years, and have always wanted to have a family of our own.  In our second year of marriage, we were overjoyed to discover that we were pregnant with our daughter Hope. At 21 weeks into pregnancy, we learned Hope had a rare genetic condition called Trisomy 13 which is considered incompatible with life. Hope was born straight into Heaven at 37 weeks which left us heartbroken, but more determined than ever to start a family of our own.  After discussing our options with several families who have adopted, we've decided that adoption is right for us.  We are excited and fully prepared to take the route of starting a family through adoption.  Please know that we are more than happy to share anything about our lives that you would like to know.

We chose adoption because we know firsthand how precious human life is.  We wish to give your child the home, the family, and the life you desire for them.  We are both self-employed and work from home, which will allow us time with your child during the day that many parents unfortunately cannot spend.  We plan on sending them to private school, and making sure they are active in the church.  We believe a parents’ role is to help guide and develop the child to become the person God wants them to be. 

If we are blessed with the opportunity to raise your child, we look forward to developing a long-lasting relationship with you.  We are open to occasional in person meetings, and are happy to share updates on your child via email, photos, messages, etc.  We will make it clear to your child how much you love them, and how your decision to give them to us was made out of love.

Whether you decide to choose us or not, we hope and pray that you and your child find peace during this process.  We believe that God has a special plan for your child.  Thank you so much for your consideration, and God Bless.

Sincerely,

Will & Lauren
