Dear Birthmother,

I'm Ashley and I, too, looked into open adoption when I was about four months pregnant. When I first saw Megan and Jason on the cover of their portfolio, I was very impressed by their smiles alone. I chose them to adopt Levi. The whole experience was very amazing and is an incredible part of my life. I know it was the same for them as well! Megan and Jason were so kind and compassionate when I first met them. It felt like I had known them for so many years even after just meeting them. I learned that they had a big and beautiful family and that they had been helping children around the world. I will never regret my choice because doing adoption with them is not just a process but I literally gained a new and wonderful family. They brought me hope about everything and comfort in knowing I could still see Levi.

Seeing Levi's smile in his pictures lets me know I made the right choice and it lets me know I've made a wonderful family happy and brought Levi two amazing parents. Their lifestyle is that of a caring and kind one. Megan and Jason were Levi's parents before I even met them. They have so much love to give and now with Levi, there is even more love to give. They've taught Levi to be kind and considerate, so he will be the perfect big brother. I know that with all that love the family should grow with it. I also know that Levi needed two parents who could love and support him and give him every opportunity in life that I could not give him. Already they have done more than just let me share in their lives, they've made me see how important it is to be prepared for a family. I cannot express just how loving they are.

I wish you the best through everything and know that no matter what is decided, my heart and prayers go out to you as birthparents. It’s not an easy decision, but it's a decision with your child’s heart in mind and it puts your mind at ease knowing that your child only gets the best. I hope that in what you decide, you have no regrets, as I don't. I hope you are filled with happiness like I am. Good luck to you and may you find what you are looking for.

Dear Birthmother,

My name is Melanie and I wanted to write a letter on the behalf of Megan and Jason. My relationship with Megan and Jason began two years ago when our family first met them to be prospective parents for our grandchild. From our first meeting with them, I knew they were very special people, and I thank the Lord for bringing them into our lives. My sixteen year old daughter was pregnant with no father in the picture and she made a very tough decision to place her baby for adoption. Being sixteen years old, she was wise beyond her years and realized she could not give her soon to be born son the things she felt was important for a child to have, the most important being two loving parents.

After our first meeting with Megan and Jason, they sent us a letter thanking us for a great visit and they both realized we still loved our grandchild, even though we could not raised him ourselves. At the end of the letter Megan said “we were planning on adopting one but we have adopted five,” which meant our family. Our relationship is wonderful; we talk occasionally on the phone, receive lots of pictures, have some visits and are kept updated daily on what Levi is doing through a web site for family and friends. Even though Levi has been adopted, he is still a part of our life and family, which really means a lot to me, my daughter and the rest of the family.

Levi’s name means “joined in harmony,” which symbolizes our families. Megan and Jason have brought peace to me and my husband’s minds, knowing he is doing so well and loved very dearly by Megan and Jason and their big extended loving family. Megan and Jason are fantastic parents with plenty of love to give, financial security, and are very stable in their relationship with each other. Our relationship has grown over these last two years and I am proud to say Megan and Jason are a part of family and lives. I am so happy they want to add to their family and pray they will be blessed again with another child to love.

Sincerely,

(Levi’s birth grandparents)
