Dear Birth Mom,
How do you begin a love letter to someone you’ve never met? That is basically what I’m trying to do in writing you this letter today. Please take the time to consider our family as a possibility in giving your unborn child a chance at a life that you might not be in a position or prepared to provide right now for whatever reason.
Let me start by giving you a little background. My name is Mandy and I too, was in a situation similar to your very own just a few short years ago. I was involved in an abusive relationship and before I could get out of it, I got pregnant. The father left me immediately, which was a blessing considering the danger of the relationship. This left me forced to make a decision. Do I attempt to raise this child alone? What will I tell him when he asks who and where “Daddy” is? Will he have his father’s temperament? These are questions that I’m sure you have asked yourself. I chose to keep my child and promised my unborn baby that I would do everything in my power to raise him to the best of my ability. Hayden was born in October of 2000 and we managed to make it on our own for a little over 2 years with various hospital stays for problems with an underdeveloped immune system at birth. It was tough, but we persevered and now he’s stronger that most boys his own age. He’s in the Gifted and Talented program at his school and receives very high marks in conduct and grades. He’s also very involved in our church. I am complimented daily by individuals on his mannerisms and personality.
In the summer of 2003, the second most wonderful thing I’ve ever known, aside from Hayden, walked into our lives. Joel, my husband, and I met through mutual friends and we instantly fell head-over-heels in love. After only 3 days, he asked me to marry him! Long story short, we had a whirlwind romance and a beautiful wedding ceremony about 6 months later. Hayden was our ring-bearer as a matter of fact! Joel not only swept me off my feet, but took Hayden in as if he had been in his life the whole time. Hayden is almost 7 now, and Joel and Hayden couldn’t be closer. The three of us are a very loving family that enjoys spending time together doing just about everything. Hayden is very involved in our community in sports and Joel and I attend every ballgame, swim meet, and practice rooting our baby on with every attempt he makes. We each have a very large extended family as well that live close to us. Hayden is blessed with love from family, more than most people have in a lifetime.
Joel and I had planned on having a house full of children, so immediately, we started trying for another child after our wedding. God didn’t see that in our future. Two years ago, I was forced to have an emergency total hysterectomy. We were devastated. Not only could Joel and I not have a child together to celebrate our union of love, but now Joel would never be able to know a child of his very own flesh and blood. I think this is what broke my heart more than anything. As time went on, the pain of not being able to have another child has gotten better somewhat, but we still love and want several children as our own. After finding out that we would not be able to have our own children together, we began discussing the possibility of adoption.
That is why I am writing you today. I want you to know that I love you. I love you for handling the emotional pain and confusion of what you are going through. I love you for your strength in making the decision to release your child to an unknown home for hopes of a brighter future. I love you for your respect for your unborn child. I pray every single night for you and the millions of other birth moms out there just like you. What you are going through right now is not easy. It is very painful. Trust me, I know.
Please know that if you are looking for a forever home right now for your child, Joel, Hayden and myself are ready to take your baby in and love him or her with all of our heart. You have our word that your child will grow up in a Christian home where the love, fun and learning are endless. Your child will be well-protected always. There will always be learning activities going on, “arts and crafts” on rainy days, walks in the park on sunny days, and above all else, being raised in a Christian home with solid Christian morals and values.
You are on the verge of making one of the hardest decisions of your entire life. Please let us help you with this decision. We are available to talk with you at anytime, day or night. I am including the most recent photo of our family, as well as our contact information.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Again, our heartfelt thank you is just not enough Words can’t express how much we appreciate this opportunity. We will continue to pray for you and your family every night that God’s blessings fall on you.
Sincerely,
Joel and Mandy Houck
