Dear Birthmother,

While we don’t know the road that has brought you here, we do know you want what will be best for you and your baby. We realize that if you choose adoption, it won’t necessarily be easier for you than the other possibilities you might be thinking about. We are thankful you are considering adoption and considering us. We believe we can be the loving, supportive adoptive family your baby deserves to grow up with. In our family, your baby will be deeply loved from the beginning. Toni began collecting picture books and favorite children's and YA books for her future children when she was in college. Reading together is one of our children’s favorite activities. Your child will grow up loving books and reading too!

We are profoundly grateful for the women who gave us the opportunity to become parents by entrusting us with our first two children. Since experiencing pregnancy, childbirth, and the “fourth trimester” herself, Toni has gained a much deeper appreciation for the strength and courage of these women. We know that as you pass through this challenge in your life, whatever choice you make for yourself and your baby, you have the same kind of strength and courage.
