Kathy
Hello. I’m Kathy. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and giving me a chance to introduce myself. I know that you are in the midst of making a very difficult decision and I admire your love and courage in considering adoption. I have always dreamed of having a child. I am very excited about loving and raising a child through adoption. I live in the San Francisco Bay area in a lovely, sun filled home in a nice neighborhood on a quiet, ethnically diverse street with lots of kids. I love the sense of community here with kids out playing, neighbors stopping to say hello and the annual summer block party. |

Roxanne and Scot
Hi, we are Roxanne and Scot and we are very excited and thankful to you for taking the time to read this letter. The strength, courage and love that you are showing just by considering adoption, during this difficult time for you is something we both admire. A friend introduced us to each other seventeen years ago. We were married on Stinston Beach surrounded by ocean waves, friends, family, and a beautiful sunset. Our son Eben was born in 2003 and we’ve been wanting to add another child to our family ever since. |

We are Anne Marie and Richard. We met each other five years ago and quickly fell in love. We have been married for more than three years, and it has been the best time of our lives. We waited a long time to find each other, but it was worth the wait! We believe in the value of an open adoption for everyone concerned. We promise that you will always have a special place in our family. Our child will always know his or her adoption story and heritage. |

Hello. We hope that during this trying time you will find the support you need. We imagine that finding a happy, safe, and loving home for your baby is crucial. We’ve been together for over 17 years and have been married for over 4 years. We’re best friends and we’re constantly joking, laughing, and having a good time together.

Renee and Mary Jo
We have been together for 10 years and love each other very much. Renee is from southern California and as a child she spent many summers in New Mexico with her cousins, tias and tios. Renee works for a non-profit organization placing volunteers to work in public schools. Mary Jo is originally from Erie, Pennsylvania. She is the youngest of a large family and has many nieces and nephews. Mary Jo has worked in the IT department at a large consulting firm for the past 13 years. Three years ago we adopted Josephine into our family, she is Latina and African-American. Our time with her has been truly amazing and we cannot imagine our life without her. |

Hi, we are Rick and Gracie. We know this is only a snapshot of who we are but we hope that the love, support and respect that we will provide your child will shine through. We have been married for 10 years and see each other as life partners. We live in the small beach town of scenic Pacifica, California. Bilingual in Spanish and English, Gracie teaches 2nd grade in a student population that closely resembles her own childhood. As an adult, Rick enjoys camping, running and watching baseball both at the ballpark and on TV and can’t wait to share these interests as a father. |

Mark and Jenn
We can only imagine how difficult it must be searching for an adoptive family. We sincerely hope that you will find peace of mind knowing your baby will be well taken care of and thoroughly loved. It’s hard to imagine that we’ve been together for over twenty years and married for sixteen! In 2001, we were blessed with the birth of our son, Mason. Although Mason has filled our lives with love, we know that there is room in our hearts and home for another child. Both of our families, and many friends, have been blessed with adoptions, so we knew that adoption was our opportunity to complete our family. |

Mary and Kate
We can only imagine what it must feel like to make such a big decision about your baby’s future. We are committed to the philosophy of open adoption. The two of us met and fell in love 16 years ago and have been together ever since. We’ve settled in Hawaii because we thought it would be a great place to raise a child. We are reminded every single day by a rainbow, dramatic mountains, or turquoise waters of how lucky we are to be alive. |

Marianne
I know that you are making a very important and difficult decision in placing your baby with another family, and I respect your incredible strength, courage and love. I imagine your primary concern is finding a happy and healthy home for your baby and I am so happy you might consider me. I always knew I wanted to be a mom and the reality has been even better than I could have imagined. I have a wonderful three-year-old daughter named Cariana. I want very much to have another child and am not able to do this by myself due to infertility, but am excited to have the opportunity through adoption. I cherish my role as a parent and I can't wait to share my love with another precious child. |

Thank you for taking a few minutes to read our letter. We truly admire your strength and courage to make the decision to place your child for adoption. We promise to help your child understand the difficult choice that you made and that it was made out of the most special love. We have been together for more than 4 years and the laughter, joy, and love we have for each other continues to grow stronger every day. We have been dreaming of having kids for as long as we can remember, and we are very committed to an open adoption where everyone is comfortable and communication is readily available.

Melissa and Carrie
We admire the strength and courage you have in considering adoption as a hopeful future for your child and we are writing to tell you a little about us and the loving family we would provide for your child. We have been together 9 years. We adopted our son, Rumi, in 2007. His arrival into our lives was an amazing experience. We love being parents and are very excited about having the opportunity to nurture another child. We have lived in beautiful Hawai‘i for 8 years. The ocean, flowers, and island cultures that surround us remind us constantly of our good fortune. We often visit the neighborhood playground at the school that Barack Obama attended! |
