Waiting Parents

Dan & Patty .. waiting in Massachusetts
Hello,
We are so grateful that you are considering us as the adoptive parents for your newborn child. It must have been a very difficult decision for you to decide to place your baby up for adoption, and it is probably also a difficult decision for you to choose among the couples who desire to be adoptive parents. We hope that you choose us, as we very much want to provide a safe and loving home for an adopted child, and we feel that we will be good, dependable, and supportive parents. Whatever decision you make, we wish you happiness and peace.
Here is a little bit about us. We were married in the summer of 2001. While we met several years beforehand and first dated in Massachusetts, after we got married we lived on the West Coast for a few years before returning here to New England to settle down for good to be closer to friends and family. After we first met, we slowly and surely grew to love and respect one another, and finally decided to get married, raise a family, and spend the rest of our lives together. The starting and raising a family part has been a bit harder than we expected, as for several years we had a very hard time having a child on our own. But we were very fortunate and today are the proud parents of a beautiful, healthy, happy boy called A.J. who is now 18 months old. A.J. would love to have a brother or sister and we would very much like to expand our family and have a second child. We are eager to adopt a child. All of our family and friends are supporting us in this effort, and will also be so happy to have a new relative and member of the family! Dan has a cousin who was adopted as a toddler, and we both have friends who were adopted when they were young children, so we know it is important to be honest and open with our adopted child about where he or she came from and to remember to be thankful for the sacrifices made by you, the child’s birth mother.
While we are so blessed to have one child, we very much want to adopt a child and welcome a new member to our family. Patty has decided to be a stay-at-home mom to give her full attention to raising our family, and a few years in the future might return to working part-time outside of the home. Our number one priority will always be the well-being and happiness of all members of our family. If fortunate to adopt a second child, we would give that child the opportunity to learn a lot at school, make a lot of friends, play many games, participate in sports and after-school activities, and grow up to be a kind, intelligent, caring, and independent person.
Thanks for reading a bit about us. We hope that you pick us as adoption parents. We promise you that our most important priority and goal will be to welcome your newborn into our family with open arms and to provide a safe and loving home.
Peace and happiness to you.
Dan and Patty
