I SOOOO want to be where you are in the process. But I'm struggling to get started. I feel like my feet are stuck in the mud.<BR/><BR/>I know that you will find the right words to write to the birthmom that looks at your profile. You write so elegantly on your blog, sharing your heart with the world. When she reads your letter she's going to know your heart and what wonderful parents you and Brian will be!!! Much luck to you as you start your scrapbook and letter! It will be wonderful!!!!Jannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09577220349572204264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32923646.post-55040169021781525622008-01-29T19:47:00.000-07:002008-01-29T19:47:00.000-07:00What about including some of your entries - your w...What about including some of your entries - your writing always has grabbed my heart, and it shows some of your journey?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I just know that however you choose to phrase the letter or what pictures you put in that scrapbook, what will leap off the pages is the YOU that we all have grown to love. You will be irresistable!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961948894847619115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32923646.post-27275507051731205942008-01-28T18:08:00.000-07:002008-01-28T18:08:00.000-07:00oh, and I forgot to mention: a town where cowboys ...oh, and I forgot to mention: a town where cowboys walk their steers down the street - what birth mom could resist that??Egged Outhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03656572696838310523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32923646.post-85965184195588166832008-01-28T18:07:00.000-07:002008-01-28T18:07:00.000-07:00I don't know how we would write a letter either bu...I don't know how we would write a letter either but I think writing an honest letter about who you are and why you want to have kids and what the child's life would look like with you and Brian as parents (ie, friendly dog, loving grandparents,aunts,uncles, and cousins, a safe and warm household, religious upbringing (or not), hockey outings, loving parents and parents who love each other,educational opportunities, etc). A birth mom would see that you would be great parents to her child.Egged Outhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03656572696838310523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32923646.post-84832456921363359992008-01-28T13:39:00.000-07:002008-01-28T13:39:00.000-07:00I am sure you can find sample "dear birthmom" lett...I am sure you can find sample "dear birthmom" letters online.<BR/><BR/>I have seen several different approaches from my days working as an adoption counselor. You never know what a birthmom is going to see that makes her select you.<BR/><BR/>I think that whatever you do, you should be honest about your reasons for wanting to be a parent. I think it might be helpful to list the types of things you hope to do with or teach the child. Your profile will also help with that aspect.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708675281321049193noreply@blogger.com
