Dear Birth Parent(s),

We would like to begin by thanking you for taking the time to read this letter and to commend you for making such a difficult decision. We are also aware of the fact that you have to choose a set of parents that you believe will care and provide for your child with the utmost importance. We feel that we need to provide, as best we can, a visual picture of how your child will fit into our family and enjoy the life experiences we have to offer.

Our names are Matt and Wanda. We have been married for over 2 years and feel we are blessed to have found each other. We have a very loving, supportive, and easy going relationship. We laugh a lot at each other and at ourselves. We enjoy each other's company and spend all our free time together. We are best friends/soul mates. We both adore children and want more than anything to have a child of our own. We have envisioned the many ways we would provide for him/her in every aspect, however after many unsuccessful attempts, we feel that God has another path for us to follow, adoption.

Spending time with family is a high priority for both of us. Although we spend a lot of time with our extended families and enjoy their traditions, we are excited about the opportunity to start a few traditions of our own. Everyone has been so supportive and excited about our decision to adopt a child that it has made us even more determined and committed to being the best parents we can be.

We feel that our neighborhood is suited well for children of all ages. The ages of the children that surrounds our home range from 1-8 years. They go from house to house, playing outside, riding scooters or four wheelers or go carts, jumping on the trampolines or taking one of our dogs for a walk. All the children love our dogs and they love the kids. Our dogs are great with children. We feel it is important to include our dogs in our lives so much that we tell them nightly about having a new addition to our family. They seem to be as happy as we are with our decision.

Spiritual health is very important to both of us. We were both raised attending church with our families and we would like to continue this with your child. We want your child to know and have a close personal relationship with God as well as a strong set of values to live by.

There is no gift like being a parent. It is the most vital role we will ever have. We feel that we are good people and value high ethics and morals. We are dedicated and eager to share our love with your child. We are looking forward to holidays, vacations, movies, swimming in our pool, walks with the dogs, reading to your child and snuggling up on late Saturday mornings in bed. We are dedicated to giving your child all the warmth and love we were blessed with from our parents.

If you choose us as parents for your child, we assure you that we will be open and honest about his/her adoption. We will show him/her that your decision, as painful as it was, was made out of love and with good intentions. We will reinforce to your child that you wanted nothing but the best life for him/her. We will gladly correspond with you through pictures and letters, if you so desire, so you can rest assured knowing that your decision was the correct one.

With love and sincerity,

Matt & Wanda
