Our names are Brian and Molly. We have been married since 2005, and if you choose us to be your baby's adoptive family, he or she will be our first child- so special! - but we fully intend to have more children in our family. We wish that your first meeting with us could be face-to-face, instead of through a letter. If you were sitting next to us, you could look into our faces and you would know instantly that we long to be parents. We are so grateful for the opportunity to tell you about ourselves.
We have been given the diagnosis of "unexplained infertility," meaning doctors cannot find anything wrong with either of us that would cause infertility. We have suffered multiple pregnancy losses, and have found strength and peace through prayer. Coping with infertility has been very challenging, but we know that our journey will make us treasure even more the baby we adopt. We will never understand why this was our path, but perhaps it was God's plan for us to meet you and give your baby all the love and devotion and support that is stored up in our hearts.
We imagine that you have many tough decisions ahead of you. It takes an incredibly brave and unselfish person to come to the decision that adoption is the best plan for their child. We have a great amount of respect for you that you are considering this option. We believe that we can provide the types of things that you might dream of for your baby: a stable and loving home, financial security, opportunities, education, and travel. We also want you to know about the sparkle inside us, the special warmth that defines our relationship, and what we wish to share with your baby. If we are blessed enough to welcome a baby into our life through adoption, we will talk about adoption from the moment he or she enters this world. We want the baby to know about you and your loving choice as the story of how he or she became a part of our family. We are open to ongoing contact after placement, and we can make that decision together, based on what works for all of us.
Wow, this letter feels so serious! Now is probably a good time to tell you how much we laugh. We have such a good time together as husband and wife! We talk to each other about everything. We say "I love you" to each other about a hundred times a day. Whenever we disagree about something, we talk it out. We believe that it is very important to be a team, especially when it comes to parenting.
Please read on to learn more about who we are, what our life is like, and how a child will fit perfectly into it. Thank you again for the opportunity to share more about ourselves. May you find peace and comfort in your journey. Please call our social worker at Shore Adoption Services at 1-877-422-6362 to arrange a meeting with us.
Warm regards,
Brian and Molly
