Dear Birthmother,

I have a hard time putting into words a lot of things; one of those things being how I feel about giving up my child for adoption, but for Barb, Nate and Logan, I will do my best. 

The process of adoption was very hard for me emotionally.  I was young, in high school and definitely not prepared to raise a child.   With knowing that and being able to admit that to myself, my next biggest concern was trying to find the right family for my child.

I looked through many profiles.  It actually became a blur at one point and I wasn't sure if I'd ever find the right couple to adopt my son, and honestly, I wasn't really sure what I was looking for until I came upon Barb & Nate's profile.  There was just something about them: how they looked; friendly and kind, their warm smiles and how fun loving they seemed to be, but mostly that they resembled who I wanted to be when I was ready to be a parent.  As I read their profile over and over, I could picture my son with them.  I could see all that they could offer him and how happy he would be because of that.  I also knew in my gut that they would love him unconditionally.  I asked only to meet with Barb and Nate, no one else.

When I met Barb and Nate for the first time, I knew I picked the right couple.  They were exactly what I thought they would be, and more!  I could talk to them about anything and they never judged me, nor pushed their opinions on me.  They knew I was making a tough decision and they wanted me to do that on my own.

I chose for Barb and Nate to be in the delivery room with me when I gave birth to Logan and I am glad I did.  As soon as Logan was born, I was only reassured in my choice to have Barb & Nate as his parents.  I could see their immediate love for him in their eyes.  It filled my heart with joy and gave me some closure in the decision I had made.   I couldn't have chosen a better couple. 

In the years that have passed I have never regretted my choice to have Barb and Nate be the parents, I hope one day to be, as they have been to Logan.  Logan is a very happy child.  He is smart, funny, fun-loving, curious, polite, adventurous and so much more.  He has been given many opportunities and I know he will be given many more in his future.  He has so much available to him at the tip of his hands because of Barb and Nate. 

Barb and Nate have also continued to be good to me.  They make sure to send pictures and letters to keep me updated on Logan.  We still talk on the phone, e-mail each other and visit.  They are always there for me if I need someone to talk to, tell good news, or just want someone who will listen. 

I hope you can tell that Barb and Nate have become a part of my family.  I am glad to have had the opportunity to be part of theirs and wouldn't change anything in my past because of what I have gained.  I only hope that those of you that read this letter can feel the love I have for them and the love they have shown me and Logan and know that choosing Barb and Nate as the adoptive parents of your child will soon become the easiest decision you have ever made.   

Forever thankful,
