Dear Birthmother,

Adoption feels right to us, and we can’t wait to be first-time parents! When we didn’t get pregnant naturally, we decided to forgo all of the medical tests and treatments to pursue adoption, which is something we had always wanted to do anyway.  James was adopted and feels thankful for the great life he’s been able to have as a result.

We’ve been very happily married for seven years and are best friends, so spending time together is very important to us.  Every major decision we’ve made in the last several years has been centered around having a child, from what suburb we moved to (to be closer to our families), to the house we built (in a wonderful family-oriented neighborhood), to the dog we picked (our beloved Golden Retriever, Quincy, adores kids) to the career choices we’ve made (once we become parents, we want to have lots of time to spend with our child!).

About James: 
One of the many things that that attracted me to James when we first started dating was how much he loves his nieces and nephew, and how awesome he was with them.  I can’t wait to see him as a dad, because I know how much joy he will take in that role.  James is the most fun- and funny- person I know and always has a sparkle in his eyes.  His smile can literally light up a room and people want to be around him.  He is very creative and nurturing and has the ability to make the people he loves feel important and special.  It’s really important to him that people around him are comfortable and cared for.  

About Heather:  
Among the things that I love about Heather (besides her outer beauty) is her inner beauty and quirky sense of humor. When she laughs, it makes me happy, so there’s always a lot of laughter and happiness in our house!   She’s always willing to be there for others and is motivated by helping others to be their best, not by what she gets in return.  She is very nurturing and attentive to my nieces and nephew…when she met them, they instantly bonded with each other (from that moment on, all they would talk about was “When are we gonna see Heather again?”) and I love how close they are.  I really admire her ambition to learn new things, to do her best and to always do the right thing.

Our Family:
We love spending time with our two nieces (17 and 14) and nephew (10), who live very close by.  All three of them are very special kids and we’re glad that they still enjoy hanging out with their aunt and uncle.  Both of our parents are still married and we appreciate how they spent a lot of time with us growing up.  We both grew up feeling valued, secure and loved unconditionally, and that is definitely something we want our child to feel as well.  Everyone can’t wait to welcome our child into the family!

Our Home:  
Our community in Arizona is very family-oriented, with a playground just down the street and an elementary school very close by.  Our home is very comfortable with four bedrooms.  We designed our pool with a child in mind…the top step is huge so that a child can wade and play (supervised of course)!   We really enjoy decorating the house for Christmas, which is definitely our favorite holiday!  The best way to describe our decorating style is global…we have Asian, African and Polynesian influences throughout our home.

Our Jobs:
James is a graphic designer, and he’s fortunate to have a job he really enjoys and that is secure, yet allows him to have flexibility.  Heather has a home-based business, which allowed her to quit her full-time job and gives her complete flexibility to care for a child.  The success of her business has really been a dream come true, as we now feel like we can devote the time and energy to be the kind of parents we want to be.

Closing:
Our hope is for you to have complete peace of mind in your decision. We want to assure you that your child will grow up knowing how special she is to us, and that you were a very important part of how we became a family. 

Our child will be surrounded with love and laughter, encouraged to passionately pursue their dreams and grow into the person they want to be.
