Steven & Jessica are hopeful adoptive parents from Rhode Island waiting to adopt a baby.

If you are pregnant and considering placing your child for adoption, please read the following Dear Birthmother Letter.

Congratulations!
We're Adopting a Girl.

Dear Birth Parents We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering our family. We understand that this is a very difficult decision and we are grateful that you are considering our family to adopt your baby. We respect your courage, strength and most of all the love for your baby. We will share with your child this courage, strength, and love everyday. The child that comes into our lives will know that he or she was placed with us out of deep love and affection.

We can not express how excited we are about having the opportunity to adopt and raise a baby. The journey of adoption can only be described as Christmas everyday. We have immersed ourselves in the process and are at peace with the decision to bring an adopted baby into our family. As a couple we have wanted and prayed for a baby for years. We cannot wait to share with a baby everything that makes us unique individuals and a loving couple. Your child will become part of a large community of family and friends and is already excitedly anticipated. We will do everything to give your child a happy, healthy, and safe life. His or her life will be full of educational moments and wonderful life experiences.

Since beginning the adoption process we have given thanks to God for the unknown blessings already on their way. We know that the addition of a baby to our family will be an amazing bless that we will thank God and you for everyday. We can never express how much we will cherish the child placed with us. Thank you for considering our family. May the peace of the Lord be with you in this very difficult decision.

Our Life... Steven and I met on my birthday, May 26, 2001. We balance each other and bring what the other needs to the relationship. We both come from families that are very strong. Our families have strong traditions based around family. Throughout our relationship we have shared these traditions and look forward to continuing these family traditions and passing them along to our child. Steven asked me to marry him with a firework show and a year later on June 26, 2004 we were wed at a small ceremony at my grandmother’s house in York, Maine. We began trying to have a baby as soon as we got married. Steven and I struggled with infertility. We went through many different types of treatments in our pursuit to have a baby, with no success. Over the past few years with our struggle with infertility, we have become a stronger couple that can overcome difficult situations. We have come to understand that we can provide a loving home to our son or daughter without giving our child the gift of life. We believe this is one of the most important realizations adoptive parents can have, that unconditional love can take many forms.

Steven and I both enjoy boating and entertaining. We have a fishing boat which we keep at a local marina. Steven is a huge sports fisherman taking overnight trips to off shore fishing. We also enjoy taking the boat to Block Island during the summer. We spend a week on the island around the 4th of July and love watching the fireworks. Within our community we have a close group of friends who we get together with on weekly bases. We also love having people at our house for dinner, relaxing by the pool, and family friendly parties. In the winter we enjoy going to hockey games or skating on local ponds. We also enjoy going to Maine to ski, sled and enjoy the winter wonderland. Besides fishing Steven loves play basket ball and work in our garden. I enjoy going to the gym, running and reading a good mystery. We both enjoy going to the movies and playing board games. As much as we like doing all this stuff, we look forward to sharing our life experiences with a child. We know that a child will complete our lives. Steven and I are best friends and each hurdle we face together makes us stronger. We are partners in our relationship and can’t wait to add a child to our partnership and family.

When Steven and I realized that having our own biological child was unlikely we began to think about adoption. Steven and I came to the conclusion that it was not about becoming pregnant but rather becoming parents to a child. We discovered that there are children seeking families just like we were in search of having a child. Steven and I believe that we have a lot to offer a child. Steven is outgoing and active. He can’t wait to share his love of fishing and boating with a child. He relates to children well and he inspires others to have fun. I can’t wait to share my love of reading, and skating with a child. I also feel that my experiences as a teacher will be beneficial as we raise our child. We both believe in the importance of education and believe that a love of education begins at home. We have wanted a child for almost four years now and have made many decisions with this in mind. We feel we are ready to become parents. Steven and I have the support of our family and friends through all the decisions we make in our lives and adoption is no exception. It is reassuring that to we have this support as we embark on the exciting journey of adoption. Our families and Steven and I are excited to welcome a child into our lives.
