Dear Birth Parents,

My name is Jerry. To start, I want to say “thank you” for taking some of your time to read about me and to see if I could be that someone you choose to raise your child. I recognize that you face a significant time in your life as you consider making an adoption plan for your child. I hope this profile will assist you in getting to know me.

I have put this profile together to give you a clear picture of what I can offer as a parent to your child. I hope to personally speak with you and answer any questions that you may have. In addition I look forward to the possibility of meeting with you in person, so you can see firsthand the loving, devoted father I am.

I am a single father hoping to adopt for a second time. I feel honored to have been chosen by Elizabeth’s birth parents to become her father. I cherish every moment of fatherhood and work hard to give Elizabeth a wonderful life. She is surrounded by family and friends who simply adore her. Being a great father and caring for my daughter are the top priorities in my life.

I value the friendships and close bond that I have with my sister and brothers. I look forward to adding to our family so that Elizabeth and my future son or daughter can also experience the joy of having a sibling. I will always demonstrate tremendous respect for my children and for you, as the birth parent(s).

I am a successful, single man. I am honest, friendly, hardworking, humorous, dependable and full of life. I am emotionally and financially prepared to take on the role of parenthood for a second time. I truly look forward to midnight feedings, walks in the park, family get-togethers and most of all being called “Daddy” by another special little someone. I will be completely devoted to your child’s well-being each and every day!

I know your adoption plan is being made out of pure love and caring for your baby. I view adoption as an amazing act of love. I will share your difficult, love-filled decision with your child and help him/her to have a positive understanding of adoption. I want this child to know that you made plans to ensure he/she would have a bright future with endless opportunities.

Your child will always know how much you love him/her.

Very sincerely,

Jerry

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
