Dear Birthmother

The choice you are making to place your baby for adoption is the most selfless act of kindness. From the bottom of our hearts, we wish you peace and courage as you make this difficult decision for you and your unborn child. We believe God has a plan for everyone.

Please allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Eric and Tiffany and are so excited about becoming parents. Everything we’ve endured and accomplished has led us to this moment – an opportunity to embrace parenthood with all of its challenges and rewards.

Our family is very familiar with the gift of adoption. Tiffany’s grandfather was adopted and her mother was an unwed sixteen year-old with an unplanned pregnancy who decided to place her baby for adoption. While we eagerly await the adoption of our child, it amazes us how life has come “full circle.”

How it all began…
We were high school sweethearts. We were married in our early 20’s and recently celebrated our 13th anniversary. We are devoted to each other and have a loving, financially secure relationship.

We talked about children and knew that we wanted to start a family soon. After years of frustration a specialist told us a pregnancy would be very unlikely. Desperately wanting a child, we held onto our faith knowing we would one day be blessed with our miracle baby. There is a very special baby out there who we believe needs us as much as we need them.

Our life together…
We have many shared interests. We especially enjoy traveling. Each spring, we go to Hawaii for peace and relaxation. When we have a chance to get away for the weekend, we’ll rent a cabin in the local mountains or fly to Las Vegas.  During the summer, we swim in our pool with our Labrador Retriever, Louie. In the winter months, we love to turn on the fireplace and watch a movie. We always enjoy going out to dinner or entertaining family and friends at our house.

Our extended family lives close by. Our home seems to the gathering place during the holidays and we love it. Holidays are all about family and we are so grateful that ours is close enough that everyone can get together.

We enjoy animals, especially dogs. Louie always makes us laugh. He loves to play and go for walks. When our nephew comes to visit, Louie follows him around the house while our nephew yells, “Come get me, Woo We!” We’re not sure who is having more fun. We also have a cat named Two Socks. He is mostly an outside cat and loves hanging out in the backyard with Louie. They are quite a pair!

Whenever we have a moment to talk, laugh or just be goofy it is truly about us being who we are. We are a team. Everything we do is for each other or to make life easier for the other person. Whether it’s Tiffany waking up early in the morning to make Eric lunch before work or Eric doing the dishes and laundry on the weekend, its all about our love for each other. Everyday, we thank God for our wonderful marriage and the life we share.

About Tiffany…
I’ve always thought of myself as a people person. Whether I’m with friends, watching a movie with Eric or planning holiday get-togethers with family, I love being with people. My family and friends know they can rely on me and I have great comfort knowing I can depend on them. I am kind and sensitive to people’s needs and always have their best interests at heart.

I have a younger brother and sister who live within ten miles of our home. Sometimes, my brother will stop by for a game of pool, or I’ll pick up my nephew from preschool and other times we will meet for dinner. He is a great influence on our nephew and a fun, light-hearted uncle.

My mother lives across the street from us. It’s quite a blessing to be able to see my mom whenever I want or need to. Mom says she can’t wait to be “Granny.” Your baby will be showered with love and attention from their relatives. Our family is very excited about welcoming our child with love and affection.

Although I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in accounting I am a stay-at-home wife and can’t wait to be a “stay at home mom.” I am a creative and earthy person who takes great pride in making our house a cozy home. Planning family events and entertaining friends brings me great joy (probably the accountant in me that loves to organize.)

About Eric…
Unlike Tiffany, I am an only child. My parents are still together after all these years. Their beliefs and values have given me a solid foundation for the kind of person I am today. I am a person of integrity with good morals and values. My wife and family always come first. I know I can count on my family… and they can count on me as well.

I have many childhood memories of picnics, barbeques and holiday gatherings with aunts, uncles and cousins. We still celebrate Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve with my extended family. I look forward to sharing these traditions with our child.

I attended Cypress College and work as a Senior Technician selling heating and air conditioning equipment. Providing for my wife and family is not only motivating but a true joy in my life. Since I work locally, I am always home in the evening when Tiffany and I sit down to eat dinner together.

Our home…
We live in an older home in Southern California. The neighborhood is well established with tree-lined streets. We’ve lived in our house for five years and couldn’t imagine living elsewhere. Our home is within walking distance of an elementary school and one of the best high schools in California. There is also a state university a few miles from our home.

We are so excited about welcoming a new baby into our hearts and home. Should you choose us as your child’s adoptive parents, we promise that, from the moment your child becomes a part of our lives, we will love, cherish and nurture them with all that we have to offer. We are richly blessed with a close-knit family and a solid marriage that has deepened over the years.

Thank you for the opportunity to tell you about our lives together and for considering us as adoptive parents. We plan to share our adoption experience with our child.  Your baby will know their birthmother made her decision out of love and kindness. We wish you peace in your heart through this difficult process.

Be good to yourself.
