Dear Birthmom
Dear Birthmom
Dear Expectant Mother,
Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about us and for considering us. We cannot fully understand the decisions you are currently facing, and we are in awe of your courage and strength. The gift of adoption would allow us to fulfill our dream of starting our family. We would feel so honored and grateful to parent your child.
We promise to shower your child with love, joy, laughter, and support. We cannot wait to immerse your child in our tight-knit extended family, whose members will also show your child boundless love. We will create a home that values family, education, individuality, and love for self and community. We will raise your child to think critically about how he or she can positively impact the world and foster the values of empathy, bridge building, and standing up for others. We will support your child in becoming his or her most authentic self. We are so excited to coach Little League teams, practice lines for the school play, go apple picking, and build snowmen. We cannot wait for family activities and adventures like hikes in the woods, cooking and baking, and traveling together.
We would be honored if you chose us as the family for your child. We have so much love to give. We look forward to talking and getting to know you.
With love and respect,
Lucy and Becky

Our Story
We met seven years ago at a coffee shop and have been making each other laugh ever since. Lucy loves working with kids, and after years of teaching high school history, she recently became a school administrator, where she strives to create an environment where all students can succeed. A lifelong learner, Becky is a scientist who is also earning a master’s in cyber security. Lucy loves to host at our home, cooking and baking from her expansive cookbook collection. Becky loves to be active—running, playing field hockey, and gardening. We enjoy being outside hiking, cross country skiing, or sitting by a fire. We are huge sports fans and love cheering on our favorite teams. Travel is a shared passion, and we immerse ourselves in the local culture. We cannot wait to share our love for laughter, the outdoors, food, and travel with our child.
Our Extended Family
We are both very close to our families, who are so excited to welcome our child to the family. Becky has three siblings, and we adore our five nieces and nephews. We love spending time with the kids playing games, coloring, or taking them on auntie adventures for ice cream, to the movies, and bowling. Lucy is the family’s best storytime reader, and Becky can turn any task into a fun game. We often spend weekends with Becky’s twin sister and her family, who live nearby. Lucy has one younger sister and is the second oldest of her twenty-two first cousins. Lucy’s parents live near the ocean, and warm days are spent on the water, swimming and fishing.
We love spending holidays with our families and always make time to see our aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended families. As avid bakers, we cherish Becky’s family tradition of day-long holiday cookie baking and decorating. Lucy’s family gathers around the fireplace during the holidays and decorates the Christmas tree, sharing memories about old ornaments as they are hung on the tree. Barbeques are a favorite activity for both families during the summer and often feature corn hole tournaments, pickup basketball games, and recipe exchanges.

Our Home
We live in a three-bedroom, two-bath home located in a diverse neighborhood full of families, where the neighborhood kids play together. Our house is located in one of the best school districts in the state and borders protected forest land full of hiking trails perfect for our after-work and weekend walks. We spend a lot of time outside on our sunny front porch and enjoy grilling on our back deck. We are good friends with many of our neighbors and regularly gather for potluck dinners. We live twenty minutes from a major city, which we visit to see plays and concerts, go to fun restaurants and museums, and cheer on local sports teams.
Our Journey to Adoption
Family is very important to us, and when we began talking about growing our family, we agreed we wanted to become parents through adoption. We are excited to provide a loving, supportive, and fun home to our future children. Our goal is to be the best parents we can be and to raise our children to be authentic, kind, positive contributors to the community. Seeing friends adopt, we have witnessed the joy and happiness of their families and are eager to complete our family.
