Waiting Family At Children's Home Society of Virginia

Andrea and John

Dear Birth Parents,

Thank you for taking the time to journey with us into our lives.  We, John and Andrea, are a loving couple who are looking forward to being first time parents.  We have the utmost respect for your decision to place your child in the hands of another family.  Without brave parents like you many couples like ourselves would not have the privilege of becoming parents.  Thank you so much for choosing life and taking time to consider us to become parents for your baby.

We have always wanted children.  We have tried to have children for 5 years now.  The Doctors have not found any reason that we were not able to conceive.  It has been a painful experience to watch our friends go on to have their third and fourth child.  We have received only encouragement and support about our decision to adopt.  Our parents are excited about becoming first time grandparents and have made plans to come up for the arrival of the baby. 

We have been married for five years. We live in a nice community with the amenities of a playground and a pool.  We live half an hour away from Kings Dominion and enjoy amusement parks.  We grew up going to amusement parks every summer.  We are roller coaster enthusiasts.  We enjoy going to the beach and the mountains.  Andrea grew up forty-five minutes from the beach.  We plan to continue these traditions with our children.

We enjoy taking walks together, taking in the local sites.  We have an abundant of historical sites nearby and visit them frequently.  We attend a local church and are active in it.  Your child will definitely be raised in a loving Christian home.  The area schools are excellent and have a lot to offer your child.  We plan to encourage your child to reach their full potential.

We both attended college and graduated.  John is a mathematician and works for the department of Navy.  Andrea does administrative work.  John gets liberal vacation as an employee of the Federal government and gets vacation for the Christmas holiday every year when the base closes.  We look forward to being home with the children for the holidays.  We hope to provide the financial help so that your child will have the opportunity to continue their education beyond high school.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter. May God guide you to make this difficult decision and bring you comfort in knowing that whomever you choose will love and care for your child forever
