Dear Birth Mother,
We love you. Those are big words. We know. But, we also know
anchored in both our hearts is an overflowing amount of gratitude and
appreciation for your brave gift.
Our home is built on adventure, love, laughter and support.
We have been happily married for nearly 12 years, sharing each other’s dreams,
triumphs and heartaches.
Our greatest heartache is not being able to create a child.
It’s just not in the cards for us. Thankfully adoption has always been a
welcome option. Scott’s brother Paul was adopted from Brazil. They share a very
special bond, which would not have been possible if not for the selfless choice
of another mother. It is that bond which inspired us to make the decision to
adopt long before having children ourselves was ever ruled out.
Your sacrifice is providing a miracle in our lives. We want
to provide our children with a world filled with opportunities. Meaghan works
as a university professor teaching music and when Scott isn’t working as a
regional supervisor at a major national company he likes to spend time playing
sports. We want our children to be exposed to both these things, supporting and
encouraging them as they pursue their dreams. But there are oh so many more
things we want to ensure they get the opportunity to experience as well. Things
like travel. Meaghan’s’ father was born in Ireland, so our children would be
eligible for dual citizenship. We have family living all over the US and Europe.
Despite the distance, we are a close-knit bunch and there are lots of nieces
and nephews waiting to meet a new cousin.
We want you to be part of our lives and are excited to have
an open adoption. We have worked hard over the past decade to buy a house,
purchase two cars and create a loving and secure atmosphere in anticipation of
providing a forever home for a child. Please know that we recognize the choices
you have before you are not easy, and we will honor your decision by loving and
supporting your child as our own for every minute of each and every day.
Love,
Meaghan and Scott
