As I begin to write this letter, I am imagining we are sitting across the table from one another at a little cafe. I would look into your eyes with tears in my own, and acknowledge the challenging decisions you are facing.

There are so many things I would like to say to you, to reassure you. I pray you have people alongside you, caring for you and offering the love and support that you need. Should you choose to entrust your little one with me, I will forever consider that the greatest of blessings! I would tell you how deeply thankful I am to be part of your story. I am excited to be adding to my family through adoption.

Your baby will always know love. They will grow up knowing that they are supported and cared for every step of the way. You have shown so much love in these months that you have been carrying your child. My deepest desire is to build upon that love; I believe love is the basis from which everything else is built. Please know how very important you already are to me; you will always be a very special part of your baby's story! Your baby will grow up knowing their story began because of the deep love you have for them. Thank you for considering me as an extension of your love.

With prayer and gratitude, Lisa
