Dear Expectant Parent(s),
We are Isaac and Angie! We are incredibly grateful you are taking the time to read our letter and get to know us. Thank you for considering adoption. We admire your strength, courage, and the love you have for your child. We pray you feel surrounded by peace, support, and love as you make the decision that is best for you and your child. From the beginning of our marriage, we dreamed of growing our family. We were eager to start our family right away, but God had a different plan. After four years of infertility, doctor appointments, surgery, and miscarriage, we began prayerfully discerning adoption. While this path was not what we originally imagined, God has made it clear that this is the journey He has placed before us. We believe family is built through love, commitment, and the bonds we create.
Becoming parents has always been one of our greatest dreams. We look forward to bedtime stories, family dinners, dance parties, vacations, and creating traditions that become cherished memories. Most importantly, we want our home to be a place where your child will feel deeply loved, safe, encouraged, and accepted for who they are. Angie is nurturing, patient, compassionate, and creative, while Isaac is dependable, hardworking, and has a gentle spirit. Together, we hope to raise a child who knows they are unconditionally loved and encouraged to pursue their God-given gifts.
We promise to love your child with our whole hearts every single day. We promise to provide a home filled with faith, laughter, stability, encouragement, and unconditional love. We promise your child will always know how deeply they are loved by you and the thoughtfulness behind the decisions you made. We will honor their story and speak of you with love, respect, and gratitude.
Thank you again for taking the time to read our letter and learn more about us. We know this season may bring many emotions and difficult decisions, and we are praying for wisdom, peace, and comfort for you. Whether or not our paths cross, we hope you always know that you are seen, valued, and cared for. May God continue to walk beside you and surround you with His love.
"We promise to love your child with our whole hearts every single day. We promise to provide a home filled with faith, laughter, stability, encouragement, and unconditional love."
