Dear Birth Mother,
Hello. My name is Jamie. I would like to start this letter by saying
may God be with you during this time. May he guide you and give
you light on this tough decision of choosing a family for your
child to be raised.
Now after saying that, let me take a moment to tell you a little
about myself. I'll start when I was younger and how I was raised.
I was born to an interracial couple and raised with an older
brother. I was brought up in a good stable home. I was raised
with good morals, respect and honor. My parents were very good
to my brother and I. They treated us fair, in the sense, that
if we did something wrong we were corrected and when we did something
right we were praised for it. Our families on both my mother
and father's side love my brother and I and they never had a
problem with us being biracial.
i met my wife, Angie, in high school. We were introduced to each
other in English class of our Junior year. We dated for twelve
years before getting married in May of 2002. We had a beautiful
wedding and there were lots of friends and family there to support
us.
Angie and I are very much in love with each other, maybe even
more than the day we met. A few years after being married we
started working on raising a family. We soon learned that we
would be unable to conceive a child. This was a very difficult
point in our marriage.
In 2003, we explored the option of adopting a child after looking
at different agencies, we decided on Commonwealth Catholic Charities.
In October of 2005 our family was blessed with a one month old
healthy baby boy we named Jalen. He is extremely bright, loving
and caring. We love him very much.
Since the placement of Jalen was such a success, we would like
to adopt again. You have a great opportunity to fulfill our family
by blessing us with another child. He or she will be loved unconditionally
and will be supported and cared for by us, our family and friends.
You have a big decision to make and if we are not the family
you select, I'll take pride in knowing you gave us a thought.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Jamie
Dear Birth Mother,
Hello. My name is Angie. I was born in Virginia and have lived
here all my life. My family did quite a bit of vacationing in
the United States when I was younger to South Carolina, North
Carolina, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Maine, Mississippi,
Maryland and Texas. I enjoy traveling and hope to visit more
states and other countries in the future.
My parents were married for a short period of time. Then my mom
remarried when I was six years old and they had two sons, which
I adore very much. Eventually my father remarried and had two
daughters and a son. My father has not been a part of my life,
I have met him on a few occasions but we do not have a relationship.
I enjoyed going to school and being with my friends. I used to play
soccer when I was younger, which was my favorite sport. In middle school
I attended a Magnet School to study singing and music. Although I am
not active with this today, I enjoyed the experience. We were able
to travel to different places to sing and universities to learn music.
In high school, this is where I would meet my future husband. We
met in English class of our eleventh grade year. He has the most
beautiful eyes you have ever seen. Jamie has a wonderful personality
and is very outgoing, I was very lucky to find him.
After high school Jamie and I eventually got an apartment together.
I was so excited to be living with him. We had some great memories
there, which we still continue to have. After living in the apartment
for two years we decided to purchase a home. Jamie and I were both
twenty-three when we made this decision, it was exciting and scary
all at the same time.
Two years later Jamie and I would get married. We had a beautiful
wedding, exactly what I had dreamed of. There were lots of friends
and family there to support us.
A few years later we decided to purchase another home. Our previous
house was a great starter home, but we decided it was time to expand
a little more because we wanted to start a family.
We eventually learned that we could not have biological children
of our own, but I think things happen for a reason. I believe we
were meant to adopt. Having a child is something Jamie and I have
always wanted. This became possible for us on October 29, 2005, with
the placement of our first child we named Jalen. We adopted Jalen
through Commonwealth Catholic Charities in 2005. I will never forget
the day we met him and brought him home to be a part of our family.
He has a wonderful personality and is very loving, it has been a
treasure to watch him grow over they years. We only hope that he
can share his life with a brother or sister.
I can only imagine what you are going through. This to me, would
be the single most important decision of my life. We will provide
the best possible home with a good education. We are very affectionate,
patient and caring people. In your quest to make your decision, please keep
in mind that Jamie and I will love this child with all our heart.
Thank you for reading my letter.
Sincerely,
Angie
