Dear Birthmom
Dear Birthmom
I’m so grateful for the chance to introduce myself. I come from a close, supportive family—my mom and dad are still happily married, and they’ve shown me what commitment, love, and family mean. I’m a proud aunt to many and have been a steady nanny for various families throughout the years. Some of my happiest memories are the simple moments we’ve shared together—playing outside, movie/sleep over nights, playing games, and laughing until our stomachs hurt.
For the past 10 years, I’ve been a teacher, and I have truly found my heart in the classroom. Teaching has helped shape the kind of parent I hope to be—patient, encouraging, and deeply supportive of every child’s unique personality and strengths. Becoming a mother is something deeply important to me. I feel ready—emotionally, mentally, and financially—to open my heart and my home to a child. My love, family support, and stability will create a wonderful foundation for raising a child.
If you choose me, your child will grow up surrounded by love—not just from me, but from a whole family who is excited to welcome them. I will encourage their curiosity, support their dreams, and celebrate exactly who they are.
Most importantly, I want you to know that the strength and sacrifice behind your decision is not lost on me. It would be a profound honor to carry forward the story you began, building on the foundation of love you’ve already created and raising your child always knowing how loved they are by us both.

My Story
Many of my hobbies and passions center around spending time with children and creating meaningful memories together. As a teacher, I care deeply about helping children grow not only academically but also into kind, compassionate people. I love planning special traditions with my nieces and nephews and the children I nanny for, from Valentine’s sleepovers with spa nights to Christmas cookie decorating and walks through the neighborhood to look at holiday lights. We also enjoy Halloween sleepovers with pumpkin carving and bobbing for apples, and summer swim nights with s’mores, popcorn, and a movie.
In my personal time, I enjoy creative hobbies like crafting, decorating, reading, and baking treats for my local church. I love being outdoors, whether it’s going on bike rides, spending time by the river, golfing in the summer, or skiing in the winter. I also enjoy attending sporting events like football and baseball games, working on puzzles during cozy winter evenings, and playing the piano.

My Extended Family
Family and friendships are at the heart of my life. I come from a close-knit family of six. I have an older brother who is married and the proud father of three wonderful children, as well as a younger sister and a younger brother who is married with two kids of his own. Being an aunt is one of my greatest joys, and our family gatherings are always filled with laughter, love, and plenty of energy from the kids.
I’m also incredibly grateful for the circle of friends who have become like family to me. Some of these friendships began in childhood and high school, while others have grown over the past 16 years and through more recent seasons of life.
Through every stage, my family and friends have been my support system, my cheerleaders, and my constant source of encouragement. These people have truly been my rock and have helped shape the person I am today. They could not be more excited and supportive of me throughout this journey towards motherhood. I feel so fortunate to be surrounded by people who value love, connection, and showing up for one another.

My Home
I bought my home in the fall of 2021, and it has become a place I truly love. It’s a small, quiet home in Western Washington walking distance to our charming downtown. I’m lucky to live right next to a park and a short walk from the school where I teach, which makes the neighborhood feel especially connected to my daily life.
One of my favorite things is seeing families and neighbors out walking, especially when my kindergarten students stop by to trick-or-treat for Halloween. My backyard is one of my favorite spaces. In the summer, I love growing lots of berries and vegetables. It’s a safe, fun place where children can run, explore, and play. I enjoy having outdoor lunches and relaxing around my electric fire pit, where we make delicious s’mores. I love walks into town to visit the local coffee shop and bookstore, restaurants, or grab a treat from my favorite ice cream shop.

My Journey to Adoption
Being an aunt and nanny has brought me some of my happiest adventures. Helping raise so many little ones and watching them grow has given me some of the most meaningful experiences of my life. From lake days, bike rides, pumpkin carving, and cookie decorating to sleepovers with night swims and blanket forts, our days were filled with laughter and joy. I loved the everyday moments just as much—helping with homework over snacks, planning picnics, trips to the zoo or aquarium, and ferry rides to the San Juan Islands. We laughed until our stomachs hurt, played dress-up with my old prom dresses, hosted tea parties, and created car washes with their little cars and bikes. These memories shaped my love for nurturing children and deepened my dream of one day adopting a child of my own and raising them in a home filled with encouragement, adventure, and love.
