Dear Expectant Mother,

A mother’s love and desire to give her unborn child a life full of family, love, opportunity, and privilege is one of God’s most incredible gifts. For us, having a child would be the single greatest gift we could ever hope for.

We have prayed our whole lives that we would someday be dads—the kind of dads who show up every day, make the child the center of their world, have time, and can provide safety, security, and a loving environment. When you are thinking about the type of parents you want to raise your child, know this:

Wes will teach them how to be a champion at everything they do and will be their biggest cheerleader. He will teach them the importance of being active and living a healthy lifestyle and will help them find a passion for life. Your child will learn their creative side, the arts, literature, poetry, theater, and the world from their other dad, Fred! He will spoil them because they deserve it. He will teach them how important their existence is in the world. Together we will sing, dance, eat, play sports, travel the world, laugh, cry, and love your child. They will be loved for who they are.

If you bless us with this gift, we will make sure your child knows the sacrifice you made so they could have the best life. You will not be a stranger in their life or in our lives. Without you, our family wouldn’t be possible.
