Dear Mother-To-Be:

We believe that the essence of a mother does everything she can to put the needs of her child first. Even though this decision is incredibly difficult, your child could not ask for a better mother than you.  We truly respect and admire the strength and courage you have to make this difficult decision and want you to know that we are looking forward to sharing our lives with a child and putting our child’s needs before our own to help make their dreams come true.  We want our child to know that as they grow and face life’s difficulties they have the love and support of their family and the skills to be a strong, loving person. 

We first met in high school and later married.  We truly enjoy being together, working side by side to achieve our common goals or simply just hanging out.  We feel we are not just husband and wife but truly best friends, who enjoy laughing together and teasing each other in a fun loving way.  Spending quality time together to ensure our marriage remains healthy and strong is a priority. 

Our home is a beautiful three-bedroom home with a long family history.  We love the beautiful memories and tradition of our home.  Being close to our family is a top priority for us and we love spending time with our family; having weekly meals together to get caught up on the week’s events.  Each year we take a family vacation with each side of the family. 

Steven works as Supervisor for a home for juvenile teens that requires intensive therapy.  Christina works as a Medical Social Worker for a hospice agency.  Steven unwinds from the week by golfing.  Christina spends her free time by baking and cooking with her family, and scrap booking.  We enjoy spending time on the boat with Christina’s family.  We look forward to sharing all of these activities with our child.

  
Though this is difficult for you, it is a courageous and selfless act, which will never be forgotten. A baby will help complete our family and fill the void in our lives.  Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.  We hope in this short letter you were able to envision the life we lead and the love we have to share.

With Love,

Christina and Steven
