Jeremy & Leisa are hopeful adoptive parents from Washington waiting to adopt a baby.
If you are pregnant and considering placing your child for adoption, please read the following Dear Birthmother Letter.

Dear Birthmother
Dear Birthmother,
We first want to thank you for taking the time to read this letter. It is written without judgment or false hopes, but out of love and from our hearts. We understand that you are preparing to have a child and that at this time, the future is uncertain. Your choice to be thoughtful about your decisions shows how much you care about the future of your child. Please know that this letter is written out of love and we completely respect whatever your wishes are. We want to give you a little bit of insight into what kind of parents we feel we will be and why we feel that through adoption, an unplanned pregnancy can become a blessing.
We are very eager to add a child to our family. We have a strong relationship and truly feel that we are meant to be together forever and want to share our love with a child and experience the joys of parenthood together. We have talked at great length of the kind of life we want to give our child. We intend to always encourage openness and honesty in our household. We want our child to know that they can come to us with any problem and we understand how important it is for them to feel secure and loved. We plan to guide, listen to and support our child in the hopes of raising a loving, fair, honest and compassionate person. We want to give our child everything that we were blessed with growing up and more…to give them the confidence and faith to achieve their personal goals and hopes and dreams. It is very important to us that our child knows how special, important and loved they are. We also intend to make every adjustment needed so that we will be able to support our family, but also so that our child will have the one-on-one care of at least one parent most of the time.
We have nothing but love and respect for your position and for the courageous decisions you have before you to make. Having many friends and co-workers who have been blessed by adoption, we know it is a sacrifice based solely out of love for a child and hopes and dreams for their future. If allowing us to adopt your baby is something you would consider, we would be willing to talk over ways that your relationships with this child can still be special and important in his or her life—a way for the baby to know how much you love and care for it’s future…a way for the baby to know as they grow that your decisions and sacrifices were made out of love.
If you ever want to talk more, we are open to all of your questions and concerns. This letter is not written assuming anything. We understand that whatever you do is what you feel will be best for you as well as the baby. It may also help you to know that we are very ready and prepared for a baby at this point. We could be ready for an adoption on short notice. For more on us and what type of parents we hope to be, please check our "journal" page.
Respectfully and With Love,
Jeremy & Leisa
Home Sweet Home
We recently bought a new home, close to the water and to our families. We have spent the last several months renovating the house and getting a special space ready for baby. It's been fun spending late nights painting, hanging window coverings & re-finishing the floors together.
