Waiting families

Sean + Leewood

Dear Birth Mother,

Let us start by saying thank you- adoption is a challenging decision filled with countless complicated emotions. As prospective adoptive parents, we are full of emotions ourselves, many of which you may share; fear and anxiety but also excitement, happiness and so much love that we want to share with our new family member. We want you to know how much we appreciate you and the challenges you have faced to consider adoption as an option for your child. You are courageous and strong whatever your final decision. For us, this has been one of the easiest choices that we have ever made and we hope that you will join us on this new adventure. We have always wanted a family, and with your help, we can finally fill the opening in our home and our hearts.

We have been together for the better part of 15 years and have worked hard to establish ourselves in our fields. Our jobs took us to all corners of the country and we have finally settled in an area with long term careers and ample opportunity to pursue the activities we love. We are whole heartedly ready to start a family and we would be honored as your adoptive parents. We live in the heart of Wyoming and are surrounded by a wonderful, supportive community which we can’t wait to share with our child. We spend much of our spare time exploring our amazing state- hiking, fishing and recreating on the water. It would mean everything to us to share these experiences with our child. We would take them on scenic hikes in the mountains and open plains where they can grow up watching elk and pronghorn antelope herds and learn about their natural surroundings. We would love to share their excitement while they learn to fish and swim in our local rivers and reservoirs. Our home is surrounded by numerous parks, complete with playgrounds and open fields where they can run and play with all of the friends they will make. We have incredible schools only a few blocks away from our front door and an active community with so many opportunities.

We are very family oriented and our home is filled with many hobbies and activities. If you choose us, your child will learn so many things, helping them develop and figure out what they would like to do in life. They will grow up around animals including three lovable Labrador retrievers, Kimber, Navi and Tatl, who would love nothing more than to grow up with a child who can cuddle with them and play fetch in the back yard. They’ll learn how to cook as it’s one of our great passions, being exposed to a whole slew of different cooking styles and ethnicities. Cooking and eating food with good friends and family is one of our favorite things and will be the backbone of so many memories to come.

Being parents is not an easy task. There will be many times of joy, sadness, frustration and excitement. We are incredibly excited to experience all of these emotions and so many more as we start this adoptive journey. We plan to be open and honest to our child about where they came from and how they came to be in our lives. We would love to exchange letters as they grow.

The experiences that we will provide our child, and that they will provide us, will build on a lifetime of memories. From first steps and first words, to their first day of school until their graduation and long after, we will cherish all of the memories that we will create as a family. If you choose us, know that your child will be loved beyond measure. We hope you consider us for this journey and to give the most incredible gift that we could ever receive. Thank you for getting to know us through our profile- we wish you a lifetime of happiness no matter what your decision.

Love,

Sean and Leewood
