| Michelle & Andy
Thanks for taking a few minutes to
preview our family life. Weve known each other since 2000 and were married in
2003. We have made a 3 bedroom ranch in upstate New York our home. Blue, our sweet
and gentle lab-mix, is the perfect family pet. The one thing missing in our lives
is a child or two or three, with whom we may share all of the many great joys
of family life. Weve got plenty to share: laughs, family, friends, and especially
love. | 
| Danny & Fran
Thank you for taking the time to get to know us.
We have gone over this letter to you so many times, trying to find the right words.
We wanted it to be from the heart, because we are in awe of your strength and
bravery as you consider all the options for your baby. |
|
| Scott, Arna & Cody
We understand how much you love your child
adn that adoption is a difficult decision for you. We want you to know how much
we admire you. We can understand these emotions as we were blessed by adoption

baby. We have so much love waiting but whatever your choice we wish you and your
baby the best of everything. | 
| Lynne & Dave

We are ready to raise a child to be safe, happy,
healthy and secure in our home. A child in our home would be the center of attention
and adored by all our supportive family and many friends; they would never forget
where they came from and who they are. They will be loved and cherished every
day and given every opportunity to be their best. |
|
| Jody, Bill & Billy

and your special talents, skills, and interests so that we can look for these
characteristics and nurture them in your child. We respect your strength and courage
in this process. |
|
| Russell & Rob
We are happy that you have taken the time to review our profile as you begin to
consider the future of your unborn child. As a gay couple, we have spent a lot
of time exploring the means by which we would seek to bring a child into our family.
We believe that your journey as a woman considering an adoption plan and our journey
as an adoptive couple share a common bond - shared hopes and dreams for a child
that has yet to be born but that already has touched all of our hearts in ways
too numerous to count and, at times, too difficult to fully comprehend. | 
| Joseph & Joe
Thank you for taking the time to learn about us, it is with great respect that we
write to you. We are humbled by the weight of your decision and pray that you
find comfort and peace in the choices ahead, whatever your decision may be. We
hope that by reading about us, you get a glimpse of who we are, our life together
and the love we have to share. |

brief, we want you to feel confident knowing that if you choose us as parents
for your baby, he or she will have a lifetime of love, security, happiness and
(lots of) laughter. We can only imagine how difficult this decision is for you
and want you to know how much we admire your strength and courage. Please accept
our heartfelt gratitude and thanks during your decision making process. | 
| Ed, Susan & Ashley
We
would like to thank you for taking time to read our profile and begin to get to

with a lot of love and happiness. |
|
| Chip & Ben
Thanks for reading our profile. We want you to
know how we want to grow our family and
the things that are really important to us:
family, friends and, of course, lots and
lots of fun. We want to offer a child
a safe and secure future and give
him or her the tools needed
to be happy and
successful. | 
| Robin & Ron
We are so honored and excited that our life journey
has led us to adoption and to you. Please know that we believe that
loving a child requires no biological connection and that being a parent
is about living a life that honors the child. We know that this decision
takes tremendous courage and strength to even consider. It requires a
level of maturity and selflessness that most cannot bring from within.
It is people like you that we most respect in this world. |
