Dear Birthmother,

We cannot begin to understand what you are going through at this point in your life, but know that our thoughts and prayers are with all birthmothers who face the decision of planning a life for their unborn child. We feel just as God has brought you to this place in your life, so too, has He brought us to this point in ours so that all our lives may intersect for the good of your child. We have learned God’s will is often mysterious and difficult to understand but, through all we have been through He has never abandoned us in our search for a more complete family. 

Our names are Casey and Judith and we would like to share a little about our life together as a family. We exchanged wedding vows in 2000 and began a wonderful life together. After living in a small rental house we began searching and found our dream home in a small town nearby. We knew that this home would cradle our hopes and dreams for years to come. After we had lived here a short time we began talking about adoption as an option to beginning a family. We decided to try to conceive a child of our own, never keeping adoption far from our thoughts during the process. After years of endless tests, examinations, and disappointments we found peace in the knowledge that God had touched our marriage with a desire to adopt a child from the beginning, and so began our journey that led us to this place in our life.

We have lived in our three bed room and two bath home with a two and a half acre yard for seven years. Our home was only a year old when we bought it and we love it. Our nursery is completely finished and filled with toys, clothing, and all the essentials a baby would need. We spend a lot of time at home where we share it with two kid-loving Yorkshire terriers and a Labrador-mix that stays outside. We live in the country outside the city limits of a small southern town filled with fun activities for a growing little girl.  

Judith is employed at a national healthcare agency and commutes only four minutes to work everyday. Casey works at a local manufacturing company and is home most days between one and three in the afternoon, which will leave the rest of his day open for family time! We both enjoy our jobs and will easily be able to provide a financially stable environment for a child to grow in. We both work hard and spend our money wisely for the good of our family.

We are both Christians and are members of a local church with a wonderful nursery and children’s program.  We have made many close friends there who share the same family values as we do. Casey sings in the choir and Judith works with the nursery when needed. We have a strong support group within the church who make sure needs are met within each family unit and provide assistance in dealing with circumstances that arise in our daily lives. 

We are each others best friend and are a very close couple. The adoption process has proven to be trying at times but through it we have become closer than ever before. We are a team and equals in our partnership. We are as incomplete without each other, as we are without a daughter to share our love with. We are thrilled to be going through this experience together as a couple. We each want only what will make the other happy, a happiness that will come through becoming a whole family.

Our families are excited about the prospect of a new addition and are thrilled for us to be able to have the option of becoming parents through adoption. Judith has two brothers and one sister, all married. She has two living parents happily married nearly forty years, twelve nephews and nieces, and one grandma. Casey has one brother married with one daughter, a mom and dad who have been married for over thirty-five years, a grandma and grandpa, and eight first cousins. All our family live within a few miles of our home and we get along great with all of them.

We know you only want what is best for your child so let us assure you that we will show her the love we have held on to for all the years we have waited for her and will continue to love her for the rest of our lives. She will have a wonderful life, a safe stable environment to grow in, and as much love and affection as any little girl could hope to have. As a birthmother your desire is to find her a family so you will feel confident she will receive the life you know she deserves. Know without a doubt she deserves a life with us and we desire her to be the missing piece that will complete our family. Thank you.
