Our birth parent letter



So I think everyone knows (or at least I hope you all know) that Jason and I are hoping to adopt a baby someday. Since we are FINALLY approved and in the adoption books I thought I would put a copy of our letter that we have written to our future birth mom and/or dad for everyone to read. We have poured our heart and soul into this letter which took us a couple months to get it just right in hopes that one day a birth mom will read it and feel like we are the right adoptive parents for her baby. You will have to click on the page to be able to read it. Thanks for looking!

Well hi. You don't know me. Actually I clicked on your blog after you left a comment on mine. I'm sorry I tend to get a bit curious about visitors. You can call it paranoia I guess:). Anyways, I hope you don't mind but I read your letter. Wow, that is a beautiful letter. I wish you guys the best of luck.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I am glad you did. Mainly because I feel like I just met someone new. Whether you visit again or not it was neat.
Well the best of luck to you and your husband. Please don't be suprised if I pop up again sometime. I just want to see how things turn out for the both of you.

Shana-

Thanks for sharing your BP letter with us. I love it! I really liked the part where you added your 'favorites'- very creative! Isn't it a relief to have it done? I know for me it was always the most difficult part of the process (besides waiting)! :)

Hi my name is Kristin and I am good friends with Sally Wilcock. I myself am a birhtmother of a daughter that I placed for adoption, a open adoption, she turned 10 in April. I have been involved in many speaking engagements related to adoption and it has really shaped who I am. I would be more than happy to share my adoption story with you if you are interested. As a birthmom, the letter from the perspective adoptive families is a really important one. I know for myself it was really important that I chose a family that really wanted an open adoption so that is what I focused on. I think the only advice I have is you may want to talk a little more about what kind of relationship you forsee having with the birthmother. For me that was really important to hear from the adoptive family. I truly wish you both the best. My husband and I now have a 3 yr old daughter and are planning to adopt from China.
