Getting to know us... Profile Excerpts - Birth Mother Letter

What's a profile? It's a book full of information about our family, our home, our faith, our commitment, our values and our intentions as potential adoptive parents. A profile is a calling card of sorts. It's a book or website that adoption agencies use to introduce birth parents to potential adoptive parents. Profiles assist birth parents in choosing the right home and family for their child. All profiles are different and the information inside reflects the adoptive families entire outlook on life. An essential pieces of a profile is a letter to potential birth mothers. This letter is usually agonized over and rewritten multiple times in hopes of connecting with a birth mother. When you check in at Daddy Times Two you will occasionally see excerpts from our personal profile. Look for these tidbits under Getting to know us... Profile Excerpts. Keep in mind the profiles are important but many people would agree fate plays a big hand in matching birth parents and children with adoptive parents.

Since I have a captive audience, I want to share our personal birth mother letter. Actually, our profile contains two letters. The first being a letter of introduction and the second letter contains our intentions and thanks. Tonight I am sharing the latter. Before I close, let me thank you for reading and coming along for the ride. Look below to get a peak at our letter.

Dear Birth Mother,

Thank you for viewing this small snapshot of our life. During our seventeen years together we have forged longstanding relationships with friends, family and our community. We have exhibited social and financial responsibility. Most importantly we have cared and loved for each other through life's ups and downs.

We may not be a traditional nuclear family but we have many gifts to offer a child. We have time to give and love to share. We can walk beside a child and encourage as life's joys unfold. We can comfort and support a child through the hardships that are dealt.

Being a parent is one of the hardest jobs anyone can undertake. Sleepless nights and endless worry are all part of the position. In spite of these struggles it can be one of the most rewarding life experience. We very much want to partake in the joys and heartaches parenthood has to offer. We encourage you to consider us as potential adoptive parents and hope you will give us the opportunity to share our life and unconditional love with your child.

Sincerely,

Brandon and Jose'
