Hello & Thank You,
We are Lori and Adam, and we want to thank you for considering us to be your child's adoptive parents. Thinking about the first words we would say to you consumes us, How can we express the gratitude and love we already feel for you? Though our circumstances and situation may be different, our coming together was written in our story long before we knew-- and that is more precious than gold.
You are selfless, brave, and beyond strong. The magnitude of your decision shows how deeply you love this child. "There is gold in every piece of your story." That saying reminds me of how Japanese culture restores porcelain when it’s been chipped or broken, they piece it back together with a layer of gold. That veining of Gold brings out the beauty in the imperfection, making it a unique centerpiece for a story that has yet been told. We are merely trying to say God is creating a masterpiece out of our story and you are the solid gold God is using to put our broken pieces back together.
Ever since I was a young girl I have wanted to adopt and be a stay at home Mom. Adoption became more real to us two years after getting married. Due to complications, it made it impossible for me to get pregnant without medical intervention. This was God's way of showing us that while His desire for our lives may be different, it is so beautiful.
We are beyond excited to grow our family through adoption. Your child will be so loved, adored, and provided for. Your child will know the sacrifice you made and love you have for them and they will always know where they came from and who their first family is. We look forward to getting to know you and hope to have the opportunity to develop a relationship together. We are praying for you, your health, your pregnancy, and your child.
Much Love,
Adam & Lori
