We have completed almost all of the required paperwork in our adoption journey so far. This is serious business. They want to know LOTS of information - but that is good. We understand why they request so much detail.
There is one last requirement that we haven't completed yet......we haven't even started it yet. Not because we don't want to......not because we haven't tried.....but because we simply don't know what to say or how to say it.
We need to write a letter to prospective birthparents.
How do we express the deepest desires of our hearts to be parents?
How do we acknowledge the un-imaginable emotions and decisions that birthparents are facing?
How do we convey that we would be amazing parents?
How do we offer comfort to those making such crucial life altering decisions?
How do we stand out compared to so many other great couples?
And how do we do it with only a few short paragraphs?
Hmmmm.....lots of questions, but not very many answers. We will just keep a prayer in our hearts that whatever we come up with will be just right for our situation.
