Dear Expectant Parent(s),
We are Coltyn and Sarah! We appreciate you taking time to read our letter and getting to know us as a couple. Thank you for considering adoption and choosing life for your child. We want you to know that we admire your strength, bravery, and the love that you have for your child.
We always wanted and dreamt about being parents. Trying to start a family proved more difficult than anticipated. We talked about growing our family in other ways throughout our infertility journey and felt called to adoption. We are beyond excited to build our family and we know that family is those you choose to call family. Family does not happen strictly because of the same DNA; it is who you choose to love.
We look forward to creating many memories as a family! We are affectionate people who enjoy quality time together. Some of the things we enjoy most is being outdoors, going on bike rides, spending summer days at the lake, baking, playing games, or just watching a movie. We want to share our lives in these ways as a family.
We admire and respect your courage. We want to thank you for taking time to read our letter to you and letting us share part of our story. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for considering our family.
