Dear Birthmother,

Words cannot express our emotions and feelings at the moment as we present ourselves to you.  Our circumstances, though very different have brought us together to celebrate in what truly is a miracle. Your selfless and difficult decision will impact all of our lives forever.  Thank you for considering us to be your child’s adoptive parents.

 
About us
We first met in the summer of 1994 when John was in medical school through a blind date.  It was truly love at first site.  We have been, married for over nine years and like most young couples, we dreamed of a happy, loving home, filled with the laughter of children.  In 2001 we left the city and built a beautiful, spacious home in a wonderful neighborhood surrounded by new homes and young families. Our neighborhood is filled with good people, lots of children, good schools, and safe streets. There’s plenty of space with four bedrooms and we’ve already chosen which room will be the nursery.  We also have a spacious basement with lots of room to play.   From our windows daily we see children having fun playing outside. We have always dreamt of ours playing along with them.  Nearby there is a beautiful park and a grade school within walking distance.   There is a community center, with a great park, fitness center, pool, water park, and merry-go-round that we often have dreamt of bringing our child to.  We are also fortunate to have our extended families nearby and we enjoy seeing everyone on many occasions throughout the year. Our parents could not wait for a grandchild. We tried to conceive naturally for a few years.  Without luck we were advised to try in vitro fertilization.  Unfortunately, after four years of failed infertility treatments our decision to adopt seems natural to us.  

When possible we enjoy traveling.  Our favorite trip has been to Europe.  We find traveling both enjoyable and educational.  We hope to extend this opportunity to our child.  We have many loving relatives in Greece, where our parents are from.  They also can’t wait for us to have a child and to return to Greece regularly.  We also enjoy traveling in the United States, Caribbean, and Mexico with hopes of visiting other parts of the world in the future.  We are both fluent in Greek.  John is also fluent in Spanish and we feel learning another language is extremely important.  

About Voula
Voula is loving, fun, and incredibly emotionally strong.  She is independent, well organized, neat, and pays attention to details.  John was first attracted to Voula’s beauty, but then her laughter, kindness, understanding and love showed through. Voula enjoys staying fit through exercise and a healthy diet.  Her passion is shopping for organic and all natural healthy foods.   She is full of energy and can’t stop.  Never misses a beat.  She lights up a room playing chase or hide and seek with children.  Nothing but laughter can be heard.   She enjoys baking, cooking, shopping and decorating our home.   After the sunsets, she can be found sitting quietly with a good book or a magazine by the fireplace.   On many occasions when John is working, she visits our friends whom have children or her parents.      

Early in our marriage Voula worked as an Administrative Assistant. The company she worked for was acquired by a company in Atlanta and we did not want to move away from our families.  Hoping we could start a family, we decided Voula could stay at home, and pursue infertility treatments.  At this point we plan on Voula being a stay-at-home mother. 

About John
John is generous, kind, and affectionate.  He is also extremely forgiving and patient.  When they first met, Voula felt John was handsome, romantic, and loyal.  Throughout their relationship he has remained strong and loving.  He is optimistic and a go getter.  He is not afraid of a challenge or change.  If he starts a project, he will continue until it is done.   He is extremely hard working, but values time at home.  John has been practicing medicine for over twelve years.  He loves his job as an emergency physician.   It gives him the opportunity to practice all kinds of medicine, meet many people, and treat all ages.  John has flexible hours, can take time off when we desire, and is never on call. His schedule will allow him to spend more time at home than the average dad.  John is also very comfortable around children and is obviously well trained in taking care of any emergencies.   On his free time he enjoys exercise, tennis and golf.  He also enjoys going to see his nephew Christopher.  He really enjoys cooking a great meal outdoors on the grill or hanging out on the patio.  Around the house he enjoys landscaping and painting.  He has countless hours of energy, and about the only thing he does not like to do is sleep. 

Together we enjoy the outdoors by going to parks, taking long walks, and bicycle riding.  There is a beautiful forest preserve walking distance to go fishing, biking, and take long walks.  We don’t live far from a big city, where we can see professional sport teams and go to theaters to see plays.   We love to cook for and entertain family and friends.  We believe it important to share our time, food and our home with those with whom we love.  We are practicing Christians and believe a strong sense of spirituality is an important foundation for every family.  With all the benefits of a stay-at-home mom, our child will have a wonderful life in a safe, secure, loving environment.  We are blessed to have many family and friends nearby that will love, care for, and support our child.  We are committed to each other as well as your child.  We will provide a lifetime of stability, care, support, and unconditional love.  May god give you strength in this difficult time.  You can trust you made the best possible choice for the future of your child.
