Introduction Dear Expectant Parent(s), Recently, my dear friend Kurt said to me, “Moira, I think that your next great love is going to be the child you adopt.” When I heard those words, my heart and my head cried out, “Yes. Yes. Yes.” That was the moment I realized that I was ready. I am a teacher with a love of children and summer vacations free to...
Introduction Dear Birth Parent(s), We are Avi and Jaimie and though we come from very different backgrounds and cultures, our nerdy natures brought us together. Avi was raised in Israel and Jaimie hails from Washington State, but luckily the fates brought us both to Boston where we bonded over our mutual love for all sorts of things—hobbies, Star Trek, family, and, of course, one another. Since we...
Introduction Dear Expectant Parent, People never expect to spend the rest of their lives with someone they met on the first day of school, but, luckily for us, that’s exactly what happened. We met on the first day of college. Despite our young age, after a year of friendship, we knew we had found our future in one another. Now, we’ve been married for almost 10 years...
Introduction Dear Birthparent(s), We are Lisa and Devin and together we have created a very fun-loving, warm, and nurturing home, which we hope to share with your child.

Introduction Dear Expectant Mother & Father, Thank you so much for considering us as potential adoptive parents for your child. We would like you to know how incredibly courageous we think you are, and what a wonderful thing the decision you are considering does for families like ours. We would love nothing more than to complete our family with a second child – we have always hoped to...
Introduction Dear Birthmother, We’ve been told that we’re younger than most families seeking to adopt a child. One of the reasons for this is that we have known about our infertility from the beginning. While many adoptive parents spend years in infertility treatment, we have always known that adoption will be the only way we will become a larger family. This is fine with us because our...
Introduction Dear Expectant Parent(s), We are Kim and Matt (and our daughter, Isabelle). Family has always been one of the most important aspects of our lives. We both grew up with the hope that we would have the opportunity one day to share our love and family experiences with our own children. After struggling with multiple rounds of infertility treatments, we were blessed to have Isabelle, Izzy...
