Waiting Parents
Steve & Wendy ...waiting in Massachusetts
Thinking of you….
Our names are Steve and Wendi and we welcome the opportunity to meet with you. But first, we would like to express our feelings for you, the birthparents.
This must be an incredible difficult time for you as you struggle with a decision that will forever impact your life and the life of the child you are carrying. We respect and are very proud of your decision to give your child the gift of life, and for considering adoption. We feel it is very important for you to know that this precious child will be loved and will know as much about their birthparents as you would like him/her to know. We truly believe that adopted children have the right to know, whether it is through letters and pictures, who their birthparents are and hope to share this information through the years. This child is a part of you even if placed in another home.
Four years ago, we were married in a small church in our hometown but we’ve known each other for so much longer. A friendship was first for us which then grew into love and respect. Soon after, we realized it was not in God’s plans for us to become pregnant. Adoption immediately came to mind after a good friend of ours adopted a young child. Steve has two teenage children from a previous marriage, and understands how important children are to both himself and Wendi, and looks forward to expanding our family.
We both work in the fire service, Steve as a Fire Chief and Wendi as a firefighter. With Wendi’s hours, she will be home most days, which is very important to us in raising our child. Wendi is planning on staying home 3 or 4 months after the birth of this child to begin to develop a family atmosphere and routine. We love to travel and try to visit different areas while on vacation. There is so much to explore in this world and so much to learn. Family is very important to us and we try to visit and vacation as a group. Our child will grow up with a cousin very close in age, as he just turned 15 months in July. We know we have a lot to offer your child, with love and respect being foremost.
We’ve created a scrapbook as a way for you to get to know us, a way to get a better sense of who we are and what our life is like. We hope you take the time to view this as you make this incredible decision in your life. You are helping to create a family and you,
the birthparents, are a huge part of that. We thank you from the
bottom of our hearts and look forward to meeting with you in the
near future.
With respect,
Wendi & Steve
