Dear Expectant Parent(s),
Choosing life and creating an adoption plan for your little one is a selfless act that shows your immense love for your child. We know we will never truly understand what emotions and feelings this brings for you; however, we pray that you will find peace through your decision and know that you are respected beyond measure. We pray your strength and love will guide you on your journey.
Josh and I were married in 2015. In 2016, we were ready to start our family and hopeful that we would get pregnant. After struggling with infertility for two years, God's plan began to unfold. In May 2018, we started our journey through the adoption process and were so excited. Through ups and downs over the years of wait, we continued to grow our relationship and knew adoption was the path for us, despite the difficult times. In 2022, we were blessed to adopt our precious Briggs. Words will never express how much love and admiration we have for his birth family. Briggs has grown into an amazing little boy and would be a great big brother. We are hopeful that we will be able to grow our family further through adoption. We would be so blessed to have another child to love and for Briggs to have a sibling to grow up making memories with.
Being parents has been our greatest blessing. We love watching Briggs grow each day. We enjoy playing in the backyard, going to the zoo, and spending time at the lake. Briggs loves seeing his cousins and grandparents each week, and his curiosity leads him to learn new things every day. As parents, we provide an immense amount of love, security, and support. Josh is a funny, outgoing, and hardworking father who challenges Briggs to try new things. Jordyn is a compassionate, selfless, and nurturing mother who works diligently to help Briggs meet his milestones. Together as parents, we provide an extensive amount of unconditional love that is guided by faith.
If you choose us an adoptive family for your child, we promise to make sure he/she grows up feeling loved, accepted, and safe. Your child will grow up knowing your love, strength and selflessness. We have an open relationship with Briggs' birth mother. We communicate monthly and meet up yearly. We would love to come up with an adoption plan that you are comfortable with regarding openness.
We appreciate you taking the time to read our letter and get a little glimpse into our lives. We are hopeful that we will get the chance to meet you in person; although, you will be in our prayers no matter what your decision may be. We pray that you continue to find strength through your journey and find the perfect family for your loved and special child.
