This is a copy of our letter to the birth mother.

Dearest Friend,

We first want to express our deepest love and respect for you in even considering adoption for your child. In writing this letter we can't imagine what thoughts and emotions you may be experiencing. We can only believe this is the hardest thing you will experience. Please know that we admire you, and your selfless act is the only way our dream of becoming parents will come true. We hope and pray that you will feel peace, and comfort throughout this journey.
When we learned that we needed to start our family through adoption there was no doubt that it was right and meant to be. Our deepest desire is to be parents of an eternal family. We look forward to teaching our child(ren) who they are, where they come from, and that Heavenly Father truly loves them. We want to be the best parents that we can be, growing in a home where our child(ren) receive hugs and kisses daily so they know they are loved. And we want our child(ren) to know that they have a wonderful birth family that loves them dearly, and made it possible for them to be in our family.
We are so excited to adopt. We will pledge our life's devotion and love to your baby. They will know of your courageous love and righteous decision on their behalf. Words can not describe the love and appreciation we will always feel for you. It's something we will be humbly reminded of on a daily bases. We would be eternally grateful.
We hope that when you read about us the spirit will touch your heart, and you will know we are the right family for your baby. If you would like to get to know us better we would be honored. We would love to answer any of your questions, and we would be excited to hear any thing back from you.
We will respect and honor how open you want to be. We are fine with whatever level of openness you are comfortable with. I hope we can share this amazing adoption process together; one in which the Lord is a part. Whatever decision you are guided to we pray that you will feel comfort and peace.

Your Friends, Aaron and Marian
