Waiting Parents
Tanya & Marc ... waiting in Connecticut
From Us to You,
We are sitting in our home writing you this letter and our hearts are filled with such respect and admiration for you. We cannot imagine what it is like to be in your shoes. We realize this is the most important decision you have ever had to make—it is selfless, courageous, and loving. We wonder what you may be feeling, and how you are doing. We hope that some day we may meet you and get to know you.
For now, we want to introduce ourselves, and thank you for considering us as adoptive parents. We are Tanya and Marc. When we met six years ago we knew right away we were meant to be together. We have been married now for three wonderful years. Loving each other comes easily and loving and wanting children does too!
We are both deeply involved with children and couldn’t imagine our lives without them. Tanya mentors family childcare providers who care for infants and children in their homes. She loves getting on the floor with the kids, reading books, laughing with them, holding them, and helping them grow. She is kind, compassionate, and wise. Marc is a middle school principal and has built an incredibly loving, but also highly academic school for his students and his staff. He is devoted, energetic, supportive, and has so much to give.
We have always wanted to be parents and when we got married the plan was to conceive a child, and later adopt a second. When we discovered we would not be able to conceive, adoption was a natural choice for us.
We are very close to our families and had wonderful and loving childhoods. Both of our moms stayed home to raise us and gave each of us an abundance of love, guidance, and compassion. Family has always been number one for both of us. As adults, we like to have fun, laugh a lot, and fully enjoy life. We are excited to share our lives and love with a child. Believe it or not, we both want to be the one who gets to change the diapers!
We are fortunate enough that Tanya will be able to stay home to raise a child. The child we adopt will always be surrounded by love — our family and friends will be there to support us and the newest member of our family.
If you choose us as the adoptive parents of your child, we promise to listen and respect your thoughts and concerns. We would welcome the chance to meet you and get to know each other. Our hearts are open wide…
With lots of love,
Tanya and Marc
