Alex & Susan are hopeful adoptive parents from Connecticut waiting to adopt a baby.

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

Dear Birthmom Letter Hello,


Our names are Susan and Alex. Thank you for taking the time to read our letter. We can only imagine how difficult this decision must be for you. It takes a lot of love, courage and compassion to put your baby’s needs first through adoption. We hope that once you look through our profile, you’ll get to know us better and appreciate the type of parents we would be for your child.

We have been married for fifteen years and have always known that we wanted to have a family. After unsuccessful fertility treatments and lots of heartbreak, we realized that God had another plan for us…to achieve our dream through adoption. We are ready, willing and able to offer a child a home filled with unconditional love, laughter, faith and strong values. We both come from families who have taught us the value and importance of family. Being the best parents we could be would be our top priority. We plan to encourage our child to pursue his or her interests and ambitions throughout his or her lifetime.

Again, we just want to thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We want you to know that if you choose us, your child will always be loved and treasured as the true gift he or she is to us.


Sincerely,

Susan and Alex

About Alex (written by Susan) I have known Alex for more than half my life. I can hardly remember my life without him. What I first noticed about him were his beautiful eyes and almost instantly fell in love with his many wonderful qualities. I will do the best I can to help you get to know the person I know and love.

I attribute Alex’s strong family values to his upbringing. Alex’s family is very important to him. Although his immediate family is small, he grew up very close to his extended family; grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Holidays, birthdays, and vacations were always festive and memorable. Alex appreciates the importance of having a family to share the good times and a family to lean on during the difficult times.

Alex is very sensitive and compassionate towards all people and animals. You can always depend on him to lend a helping hand. On many occasions, Alex can be found helping family or friends move or assisting with home repairs. Alex is very mechanically inclined. He says he gets this partly from his educational background, but mostly from always helping his father with projects around the house.

Alex has shown me in many ways how caring and loving he is, but it really is shown by the way he cares for our cat, Marmie. Alex is never too busy or too tired to spend time with Marmie either playing or just “cuddling.” Marmie could not ask for a better daddy.

Alex is very passionate about his work as a research physicist. His hard work, dedication, discipline, and loyalty are the reasons for his success in his everyday life and his career. Wherever Alex has worked, he has always been well respected and liked by his colleagues. He has a strong work ethic.

It is because of all this, that Alex is my best friend. I feel quite lucky to have him in my life and I know without a doubt that he would be a great father.

About Susan (written by Alex) Susan and I met as freshmen in college; she was an accounting major and I was a physics major. We started dating in the fall semester. We came from different backgrounds yet we found we had many complementary qualities. Susan is a very kind, generous, loving person. I will do the best I can to help you get to know the person I know and love.

Her patience throughout my many years of study was unwavering. We fell in love because we recognized our mutual dedication, respect and love of what we could offer to each other and dated throughout our college years.

One of the things that I admired about Susan was her honesty, work ethic and devotion to children. Susan’s initial desire was to become a school teacher. Her dedication to teaching and nurturing children was manifest in her role as a CCD teacher. Here she taught children about values and morals and helped guide them through the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Susan was a CCD teacher for quite a long time; she did this throughout her high school and college years.

Ultimately, Susan decided to pursue a business career. She worked as an accountant for almost a decade. All the while she was preparing to begin her second career as a mother; truth be told, this actually began when we adopted our cat Marmie. Susan has always wanted to be a stay-at-home mom and raise our children in a manner similar to how she was raised. We started to prepare for this but never anticipated the challenges and hurdles that we would face in having a child and the difficulties of fertility treatments.

As a housewife, Susan has been preparing to expand her role to a stay-at-home mom for many years. Susan has begun her career as a housewife and is eagerly awaiting to be blessed with the privilege of raising a child. Susan will be an excellent mother and will provide nurturing to a child. She will encourage them to pursue their life’s interests and ambitions.

About Us Alex and I have known each other for more than 21 years. It’s hard to believe that it has been that long because it seems like only yesterday we met as freshmen at college in New York City. It was love at first sight for us. Throughout our four years in college our relationship only continued to grow stronger and more meaningful. Not only did we spend those years growing as individuals, we also grew as a couple.

Alex graduated with a degree in physics and I with a degree in accounting. From there, Alex went on to earn his Master’s degree at a university in New York; while I entered the workplace as an accountant in a small investment company.

After being engaged for two years, we had a beautiful wedding on December 14, 1991. We chose to get married in the month of December because the holidays have always had a special meaning to us; and they still do. The holidays are a big deal around our house. We really enjoy and are enthusiastic about decorating the inside and outside of our home. It is very important to us to combine traditions from both sides of our families. We spent our honeymoon in California where we drove from San Francisco down to Los Angeles. It is a trip that we will never forget.

Less than a year after we were married, we adopted a red tabby kitten, Marmie. He is now 14 ½ years old and has brought joy into our lives everyday. He is a big part of almost everything we do; holiday dinners, barbecues with family and friends, vacations. Some people joke and say he is “our first born”.

After being married for several years, Alex began his doctoral studies at a university in New Jersey. This was a monumental step in Alex’s life. It was through his hard work and dedication that he was able to make this happen.

Upon completion of Alex’s studies, we decided we would start our family. As life goes many times, things did not go as planned. After some unsuccessful fertility treatments, we came to realize that God had other plans for us. We always knew that we wanted a family of our own and we now know that adoption will help us to achieve this. We believe that parenting a child will give us the greatest joy of our lives.

Our marriage is very important to us. It is based on love, honesty, friendship and respect. That is why we decided to renew our marriage vows for our 15th anniversary. We realize the great rewards that come from having a solid and fulfilling relationship.

We look forward to sharing our lives with a child. We feel we have many things to offer; a good home, security, a supportive and caring extended family, a solid education and above all, lots of love. I will be a stay-at-home mom and raise our child, just the way both of our mothers did. This is a very exciting time for us. Our hearts and our home are open and ready to share this with a child.
