Open Letter
An open letter to our future Birth Mother.

Dear Birth Mother:

This is the letter I would send to you if I didn't have to follow the rules of etiquette and political correctness.

First I want to thank you for giving us the highest honor and privilege that is possible, the gift of trusting us to raise your child.

I want you to know that they will never have to ask about you, they will know who you are and how we became their parents. They will know that you loved them as much as we do.

I want you to know that your child will know everyday that they are loved and they are special and have a purpose to their life. I want you to know that they will have food and clothes and toys and pets. They will have Aunts and Uncles and Cousins and Grandparents and Adopted Aunts and Uncles. They will be comforted when they are sad and encouraged to dream and to follow their dreams even when we don't understand them. Your child will be a gift that we are thankful for everyday.

I would let you know that Jeff is the best person I know. I have never had someone who cared for me and about me like he does. I am a blessed woman and I know he will be a good father.

I wont tell you we will never be angry or unhappy or upset with your child but I will tell you that even when we are that they will know why we are upset. They will know even though we may be disappointed at this moment that we still love them and will get over whatever it is. We will do everything we can never to raise our voices in anger toward your child. We will never hit your child. We will do everything we can to ensure that they grow up knowing their value to themselves and to other people.
