Ira & Amy are hopeful adoptive parents from New Jersey waiting to adopt a baby.

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

Hi, we’re Amy and Ira …

We can only imagine how you feel as you make this important decision. We admire your courage, and hope that your decision brings you peace and comfort. We are grateful that you are taking the time to get to know us. Please share any thoughts or concerns with us at any time.

We’ll begin by sharing things about our life with you....

Our Dream Amy is a stay at home mom and housewife—the best job in the world. Ira is a corporate attorney, and enjoys the challenges of his profession, while maintaining a healthy work/life balance. Laughter and respect are the cornerstones of our marriage.

We enjoy each other’s company and like playing tennis, hiking, exercising, watching old movies, cooking or just hanging out. We take pleasure from spending time with friends and family in our home and on vacations.

Ever since our wedding six years ago we have dreamed of being parents to two children. Our dream began to take shape when our daughter, Ava, was born five years ago. She enjoys reading, arts and crafts, singing, dancing, swimming, imaginary cooking, and mothering her collection of dolls. She also likes to have playdates with friends and all of her other after school activities including ice-skating, soccer, gymnastics and dance.

On weekends, we love to ride bicycles as a family and it is always an adventure to see what things our daughter wants to do…whether it’s visiting a museum, heading for the pool, going to the playground or amusement park, reading books, ice skating or playing with friends and cousins. We wonder what activities our younger son or daughter will like.

Almost three years ago our son, Derek, was stillborn. It was a truly awful time for us…yet, we were still able to count our many blessings. We are fortunate to have our amazing family and friends, all of whom can be counted on to “be there” for the three of us and support us in fulfilling our dream to complete our family through adoption. Our personal experience has taught us to truly appreciate the joyful times in life.

We believe that adoption is a wonderful way to complete our family. We know we will love our adopted child as much as we love Ava. They both will grow to know they are loved equally and that families are formed in many different ways. We realize that each child will have their own unique personalities, like and dislikes, and we will give them the undivided attention of two loving parents to support their individual growth and development.

That’s why we hope to connect with a loving birth mother or couple who will trust us. We want our newly adopted son or daughter to understand his or her birth family. We will always share his or her adoption in positive ways so he or she will grow to feel good about himself or herself. We will share with our child anything that you would want him or her to know if you choose us as the adoptive parents for your baby.

We truly love being parents. We gladly look forward to the responsibility of being parents to our baby boy or girl, waking up in the middle of the night for feedings, diaper changes and sleepy lullabies. We know that the love between the three members of our family will not be divided, but multiplied when we become four.

Our free time is dedicated to connecting with a loving birthmother or couple. We have educated our daughter about the wonders of adoption. She is so excited and hopeful that she will have a baby brother or sister with whom she can play and share her toys.

Our Town and Neighborhood Our five-bedroom home is warm and cozy. Two of the bedrooms have been turned into playrooms for fun and learning. Our park-like backyard is complete with swings and lots of room for our daughter and her friends to roam. We can only imagine what toys our future child and his or her friends will scatter around the yard!

We live in a quiet neighborhood, with many young children and nationally recognized schools. A few years ago we moved from Manhattan to be closer to family. Our community is very quaint and wholesome. It is not a place where kids hang out doing nothing. It is a community that cares about its children’s education and well-being, and has great activities for children and teenagers.

Our Family and Friends We have the kind of relationship with family that few people seem to have these days. Our home is always welcoming to our friends and neighbors. Doting grandparents live only 10 minutes away and are an integral part of our lives, as is the rest of our close-knit circle of friends and family. Our family and friends (especially Amy’s girlfriends) know that they can always count on us to be good listeners, and we would have the same open mind and heart as we get to know you.

We spend many of our weekends with our family and friends in our homes simply enjoying each other’s company, watching all the children play and enjoying good meals. We often vacation together at the beach, the ski slopes and the mountains. Holidays are always shared with grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and many cousins. They are all supportive and excited about welcoming another child into their lives when we adopt.
