Dear Expected Mother,

We are so thankful and blessed that you have the courage to consider the gift of adoption for your unborn child. We understand that this is a very difficult decision for you and we know you would want the best for your baby. We know how important it is for you to understand that your child will be cared for and provided with unconditional love which we are confident and eager to provide. It is a commitment that the both of us have been longing for the last 25 years. We both feel the time is right in our lives to share some of the happiness, joy, ups & down’s and lifelong experiences with a new soul.

We’d like to take a moment and introduce ourselves. Our names are Leah & Gregg. Our journey together started in 1995 when we met at a function with mutual friends. Gregg was stationed at Ft. Lewis and Leah was living in Seattle, working and going to college. We were together for 3 years before we decided to get married and spend the rest of our lives together. Looking back, it’s amazing that we met practically after high school, being from completely different parts of the country, Gregg from Connecticut and Leah from Washington . It’s like destiny had a trajectory set for the both of us and our trajectories crossed paths. Here we are 27 years later and are ready for the next chapter in our lives.

We would like to tell you a little bit about ourselves so that you can get to know us a better. This is a big decision for you and we would like to provide you with enough information about us so that you feel secure knowing that your child will be loved, cherished, safe & secure with us.

Hopeful Parents to be,

Leah & Gregg

Leah and Gregg grew up in different parts of the country and were  raised with similar values. Both of our parents have been married for over 50 years. We grew up in safe and secure homes that value honesty, loyalty, kindness & commitment.

Gregg was born and raised on the East Coast with an older sister and younger brother. He attended public school, played sports, was really into music and playing musical instruments and decided to join the military at the age of 17. As a result of choosing the military, it brought him to the West Coast where he eventually met Leah.

Leah was born and raised in Seattle with 2 older brothers. She attended private school, was an all around athlete, loved movies, family road trips and survived childhood cancer. As a result of leukemia at age 11, the treatment that saved her also left her unable to have children.

Long story short, we met, fell in love, got married, moved to Germany for 3 years through the military where we were able to travel and see the world from an entirely new perspective. We moved back from Germany, continued our education, and bought our home. Not having a child in the beginning of our marriage allowed us to grow as a couple and acquire life lessons that will help us in our journey of being parents. We look forward to participating in all the activities that our child favors and introducing them to the activities we enjoy. We value spending time with friends and family, love to travel, go hiking, go to concerts, attend sporting events, and love all the furry friends too. All these experiences we would love to share with a child.

We have a loving, caring and fun marriage. We have loved and lost many pets over the course of our relationship. We have been committed to each other for over 27 years and we enjoy our time together. The one thing that has been missing in our lives and has been on our minds for quite sometime, is a child.

Our home is in a good community near schools and parks. We both have stable and secure jobs with the ability to be flexible with our schedules. We have a large support network and offer full sets of grandparents, aunts, uncle’s, cousins and large extended family. Together we have 9 nieces and 3 nephews ranging in age from 3-28. We provide a family focused approach to the holidays complete with all the fun traditions and festivities. We have a wonderful life and would love to share it with a child.

We know that we were meant to be parents and we are excited for the opportunity. Your child will be loved and nurtured and given a life of opportunity. You, the expected mother, will be spoken of positively and openly. We hold you in high regard and respect your decision. We hope that this correspondence sheds a little light into our life which we would love to share with a child.

Thank you for reading our letter and for considering us as your child's parents. Our home study is favorably completed and we are ready to adopt. We wish you health, peace and happiness in the rest of your pregnancy, and after. Be assured whatever decision you come to, it will be the best one for you and your baby…

  Hopeful parents to be,

Leah & Gregg
