Dear Birthparent:

We are Bert and Anita, and we are 30 and 31-years-old. We moved to Texas 10 years ago, and we love it! We love our work, the weather, our neighborhood and the nice people. We both where born in the Netherlands, but plan to stay in Texas to continue our business and keep building our lives here. Texas is the place where we want to raise our children. We have a 4-year-old biological son, and his name is Thijs. Not a common American name, but easy to pronounce: +Tice-. He is a sweet little boy and our blessing from God. After the loss of our firstborn, and complications during our second pregnancy, our doctor advised us not to get pregnant again. That is when we knew that we wanted to adopt! We cannot describe how special this time is for us. Our decision to adopt is our well-thought-of and well prayed-for choice, just like yours is. To choose adoption for your baby’s best interests is the most amazing thing we can ever imagine. You will always have a special place in our hearts, and there are absolutely no words to describe what you are about to do for your child and for us, only love.

Since Bert didn’t grow up with his mother and was emotionally adopted by his stepmother at age 14, he knows how special a loving family feels. It is our greatest wish to offer that to your child, too. We promise to parent your child, just like Thijs, and give them everything they need. We will tell him or her about the two wonderful people who made this unselfish choice out of love for their child, to give him or her the miracle of adoption. (And to us, too!) Should you wish to receive pictures and letters over the years, we would be honored to share the gift you have given us, because if not for you, we would never have the opportunity to raise another child. We are just thrilled. We can’t wait to hold another baby, to have another baby for us to love and to cherish. It would mean so much to us to watch our children growing up together, and for Thijs to have a brother or sister to share life with. It is our promise to you that we will raise your child in a loving, Christian family to be a wonderful, educated and confident adult. We hope you will consider us and let your child become a part of our family! Thank you for reading our letter.

Truly yours,

Bert & Anita.

Your decision to make an adoption plan is out of love for your child, and in turn, my decision to adopt is also based on love.

While you are reading my profile, I hope that you gain insight to who I am and will discover meaningful attributes, qualities, values that will become the foundation of your child’s future. My biggest responsibility will be to love and nurture your child with all my heart, and support their endeavors and conquering milestones, from taking first steps, saying their first words, graduating from school and pursuing their dreams.

I always knew that I would become a Mother; it is a life long dream. The support of my family and friends to parent through adoption is met with love and concurrence that I will be a positive role model and be a good Mother to your child. Over the years I have spent quality time with children. To my cousins and friends children, including triplets, I have become their “Auntie Claire’. In addition, I am also privileged to be asked by two dear friends to become Godmother to their children.

I am close to my family and was lucky to have had a wonderful upbringing. My parents have always been very supportive. My parents are excited at the thought of becoming grandparents, and my sister to be an aunt.

My commitment to you is that your child will always know they have been brought into this world with profound love and the courage that their Birth Parents exhibited. Progression of your child’s life and events will be organized and continuously shared with you.

My respect for you is heartfelt and I close this letter with the admiration for your decision to create an adoption plan. As I began this letter, I am,

Justin and Selanie are a hopeful adoptive parents waiting to adopt a baby. Thank you for taking the time to read our letter and learn more about us. We believe it is very important for a child to always know that he or she is adopted. The child will always know how special you are and what a great sacrifice you made to allow someone else to parent your child.

If you are pregnant and considering placing your child for adoption, please read our Birth Parent Letter and family profile.

Dear Birth Parents,

We are Justin (age 31) and Selanie (age 26). Thank you for taking the time to read our letter and learn more about us.

We met at a small university in Tennessee. Two days after we met through mutual friends, we went on our first date and have been inseparable ever since. Later we both said we never believed other people who said they “just knew” they were right for each other, but…we just knew.

We have been married for 6 ½ years. When we got married, we were both in school and decided to wait five years before we would try to have children. We thought we would have one or two kids and then adopt one or two. About a year passed without conceiving a child, and we both knew that expensive treatments were not the way we wanted to go. Since we had wanted to adopt anyway, we decided God wanted us to go ahead and begin growing our family through adoption.

We believe it is very important for a child to always know that he or she is adopted. The child will always know how special you are and what a great sacrifice you made to allow someone else to parent your child. We will be more than happy to share pictures and information with you over the years.

Justin is an only child but grew up with his older cousin Mimi like brother and sister. Today their moms (who are sisters) are neighbors and Mimi and her husband Greg live next to Mimi’s parents. Mimi and Greg do not have children so everyone is very excited about bringing a child into the family.

Selanie has a younger sister LuAndra, who is a make-up/special effects artist in Orlando, Florida. They don’t get to see each other all that often but visiting her can be an escape to sunny Florida. She is looking forward to being an aunt! Selanie’s parents (in North Carolina) are also excited to have their first grandchild and plan to move closer to us after they retire.

We hope you can get to know us through the following pages. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us and our family.

Dear Birth Parents,

Our names are Abigail and Marshall, and we want to first say thank you for considering us as parents. We are a fun-loving, affectionate, and very committed couple, and we are truly excited about the possibility of raising your child. We have always dreamed of being parents, sharing our love with a child, and building our warm family.

This would be our first child and we are thrilled to welcome a child into our loving home as we begin the next chapter in our lives as parents. Our parents, too, are eager about having a grandchild, and Marshall’s parents look forward to becoming grandparents for their first time.

We have enjoyed the past 4 ½ years of marriage; however, during that time we have both struggled with infertility. We are excited about the opportunity to build our family through adoption. We know that this is an important life decision for you. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us and we look forward to experiencing the joys of life with your precious, beautiful baby.

Yours,

Abigail & Marshall

Patrick and Kim are hopeful adoptive parents waiting to adopt a baby. If we are the couple you select we promise to be the most loving, supportive, and nurturing parents. Our house will be a happy, warm and comforting home. Your child will be brought up to understand that we are a family because of your courage and selflessness and will always know great respect, gratitude and love for you.

Dear Birth Parents,

Our names are Kim and Patrick. We first want to thank you for taking the time to learn more about our family. We also want you to know that we can only imagine how difficult this decision is for you. Please know that we admire your courage and the deep love that you have for your child as you make your adoption plan. Should you choose us, we promise to cherish and love your child unconditionally and to provide him/her with all the support, love and security that they need. We will provide a loving home and a life full of love, laughter and family.
We live in New York and have been married for 14 years. We met in college and were friends before we started dating and continue to be each other’s best friend and soul mate. We are a warm, fun-loving family that has a strong interest in education, travel and all sorts of family activities. After several years of trying to conceive and medical interventions, we were blessed to have our son Matthew. He is now 4 years old and is the light of our lives and we love being parents. Our days are filled with piggy back rides, trips to the playground, games of hide and seek and duck duck goose and laughter. We have always wanted to have a family and now that we have been lucky enough to become parents, it has only strengthened our desire to have more children. We tried to conceive another child, but after several medical interventions, we decided that the best way to build our family was through adoption. We strongly feel that our family is not yet complete and that we have more than enough love and time to give another child. We are hoping for one more miracle. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our family. We hope that the following pages will provide you with a glimpse into our family and life.

With our love and gratitude,

Kim and Patrick

Dear Birthparent:

Hello and Welcome! Our names are Cheryl and Randy. We are delighted to have the opportunity to present our family to you and hope that you find us to be the perfect fit for your precious little one. We are excited to be on this journey and appreciate the beauty in the loving choices you are making for your child.

Our Story – My husband and I met in college at Princeton University in a science class and used to go to lunch together afterwards. Our friendship was special and as time passed, it blossomed into an amazing relationship. Six years later we married, and have been happily married for over 10 years now. We have a beautiful 3 year-old son, Noah who is an absolute joy and we are eager to welcome our second child. We are very excited for Noah to have a brother or sister to grow up with.

We have tried for over a year to have a second child and give Noah a sibling, but we have been unable to conceive. Infertility has been difficult, and there have been many disappointments. However after making the decision to adopt, we feel as if a weight has been lifted from us and HOPE has entered our home and our hearts. We are waiting for the special baby that was meant to be our second child to arrive and complete our family.

Noah is full of life and enjoys playing and exploring outside. He is smart, funny and lovable. We know that he is going to make a fantastic big brother. He is currently in preschool and really enjoys it. In addition he attends music, art, and gym classes after school and on weekends. We started Noah very early in pre-school (around 2 years of age). We believe it is really important for children to be around other children. Because of my light work schedule, I have the luxury of bringing and picking Noah up from school, and spending many afternoons with him.

We live in a family friendly neighborhood located in New York. We own a spacious home on a large piece of property, with plenty of room to run and play. Our home consists of 5 bedrooms, 5 ½ bathrooms, living room, kitchen, dining room, family room, playroom and a large finished basement. We have a gated heated swimming pool that we enjoy with family and friends in the spring and summer months. We think our area is the ideal place to raise a family. There are great schools, many families with young children, and we are centrally located to just about everything. We can travel to New York City to see a Broadway show one day and the next day relax on a beautiful beach in the country. Where we live we get to experience all four seasons.

We think about you often as well as the amazing amount of love you have for your baby. We will be sure to help your child understand that your decisions were made with extreme care and entirely with LOVE. We wait with open arms to welcome this precious baby into our family. Photos and updates – Because deciding to let another couple raise your child is such a difficult decision for a birth parent, we can understand how some birth parents would like to hear and see how the baby is doing. We understand that receiving updates is an individual preference and realize that there are different levels of openness in adoption. For us, we are willing to provide occasional updates and photos for you so you can be kept up to date – via the agency. We are simultaneously nervous and excited to be going through the adoption process. We understand the awesome responsibility of adoption. We are excited to meet our baby and raise him/her with unconditional love. We think of our future son or daughter daily and we wonder how you are and when our paths will cross. There are so many beautiful adoption stories. Historically we think of Moses, and more recently country singer, Faith Hill. Adoption is a selfless decision; we will always have great respect and gratitude for you as our child’s birth parent (s). We welcome any opportunity to talk with you and answer any other questions you may have. If you would like to speak with us, or have questions about us or adoption, a caring, well-informed member of “Adoption Alliance” can assist you. You can reach them toll free by calling 1-800-626-4324.

With respect,

Cheryl & Randy
