Waiting Parents
Pat and Leslie... waiting in Massachusetts
Dear Birthparent,
Our names are Pat and Leslie and we are honored that you are willing to learn more about us in consideration of allowing us to adopt your baby. Your decision to pursue adoption is one of great impact to you, your baby and to the family that you will choose. It is with great admiration that we come to you to express our desire to be the family you choose. We respect your unselfish desire for the best opportunities to come for your baby.
We met 11 years ago at college. Pat was the assistant college baseball coach and Leslie was the athletic trainer for the baseball team. We essentially worked together for three months before realizing that we had become best friends. We were inseparable. Finally, one day our friends implied that maybe we were more than just friends, and the light bulb went off…of course we were! Three years later we got married and are still inseparable and are each other’s best friend.
A few years after we got married and bought our first house, we decided to start a family. We are blessed to have a wonderful little boy, Logan, who is five years old. Logan brings immense joy to our lives. Logan is a very kind child, well liked by his friends and family, and makes everyone around him smile. He has many cousins ranging in ages from four months to12 years old and loves spending time with them. We are very much looking forward to Logan being a “big brother.” His gentle, kind and loving personality will embrace his new little sister or brother.
We live in a Cape style house with plenty of space to play and enjoy time with family and friends. We have a fenced in back yard and a pool that we spend lots of time in during the summer months. We live close to several playgrounds, children’s museums, and zoos. We are very active in our community both through Pat’s company and Logan’s school. We are very involved parents, volunteering at all of Logan’s activities and participating in holiday parties with his friends and teachers. Everything that we do for Logan we will do for our new child including exposing him or her to music, physical activity, play time, excellent nutrition and most of all our attention.
We believe that the little things matter such as putting in the extra effort to make homemade baby food, reading lots of books and limiting television. We decided to care for Logan at home versus at day care and will do the same with our new baby. We have worked out our schedules so that Pat is home during the day with Logan. Pat owns his own company and thus his hours are very flexible. Leslie works from home and also has a flexible schedule allowing her more time with her family.
It would be our privilege to share our lives with your baby and provide a loving home full of happiness and values. We understand how important this decision is and welcome the opportunity to meet you at your convenience.
Thank you so much for considering us, and we hope that you find the adoptive parent match you think will be perfect for your baby!
Warmest Regards,
Pat, Leslie and Logan
