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.
