Dear Birthmother,
Thank you for considering me to care for your most prized possession. I am beyond honored that you have considered selecting me and words cannot express my gratitude. If thank you was a picture in the dictionary, you would see me grinning at you.
I want to adopt because unlike a woman who has conceived the “traditional way”, I believe that God has placed the desire to adopt in my heart. At times I would pull away from this desire, but it always felt like something was knocking on the inside of me saying, "Remember me???". The aches and longing to adopt overtake me, like a woman feeling her child moving on the inside of her. Every decision I've made over the past 20 years has been with my future baby in mind.
I don’t believe that this decision is easy for you. That is the reason why I have prayed for you over the years. I will continue to pray for your comfort and strength during this transition. Caring for your baby is my desire, but letting him/her know that they are a gift from you to me is an honor and my gift to you. Thank you again for considering me to raise your baby. When you get a chance please listen to “When I Pray for You” by Dan & Shay.
