Tim & Danielle are hopeful adoptive parents from Pennsylvania 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 hope this letter finds you well. We are Tim and Danielle and we first of all want to thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We could never fully understand what you are going through but we do realize what a difficult time this might be for you and we are so impressed by your strength. We respect and admire you for having the courage to make this difficult decision. We truly believe that everything happens for a reason and regardless of who you choose to parent your child, he or she will have an amazing life.

It is hard to even begin to express what an unbelievable gift your child would be to us. We have so much love to share and so much happiness to offer a child. Your baby will always know the love that you have for him or her as well and what a difficult, unselfish decision this was to make. Putting together an adoption plan shows what a strong love you have for your child.

We promise you that we will give your baby every opportunity and the best life we possibly can. Also know that he or she will bring us more happiness than could ever even be imagined. We can offer your child a loving, nurturing home that is always filled with laughter. We will encourage and support him or her in every way and most importantly he or she will always have our unconditional love. Your baby will complete our family, our lives and be a gift that we have wanted so badly and just haven’t been able to receive.

We hope that as you read about us, our family and the life that we share you will see something in us that reassures you that your baby will have a wonderful life with us. As we said earlier, everything happens for a reason and maybe we were all meant to find each other in this way. Hopefully you will find that reason as you learn more about us.

About us….. Our story is kind of unique and really special. We met back in grade school, went to the same high school together and grew up living about five minutes away from each other. We have been friends forever and started dating when we were juniors in high school. We were lab partners—we think that is where it all began. We attended each others proms and have been there for each other through so many memorable times. We went to different colleges and dated off and on through those years. Just after college we realized what we knew for many years—that we were meant to be together forever. We were engaged a few years later and have been married for almost ten amazing years--a wedding so fun that friends and family are still talking about it!

We have an unbelievable love for one another and we have been best friends for as long as we can remember. Our love and our marriage have endured so much over time and through the good times and the difficult times our relationship has only grown stronger. We handle life so well together; we really balance each other out. Our journey to parenthood has been an extremely difficult one with several heart breaking losses along the way. Three years ago however, we were blessed with our daughter, Abigail Hope (we call her Abbey). Our lives have become so much fuller because of our daughter. We spend as much time as possible together as a family.

We enjoy outdoor activities, spending time with family and friends, movies, ballgames, amusement parks, days at the zoo, Friday night pizza night and taking vacations (especially beach vacations). It doesn’t matter where we are, as long as we are together we always have a great time. We have always hoped and dreamed for a large family and are unable to have any more children on our own. We have a truly happy home to share with our children and more love to give than we ever could have imagined.


About Tim…
Tim is an unbelievable husband and father. On the day we got married I remember thinking that I could never love him any more that I did on that day, but he proved me wrong. I love him more every day for all of the things that he does and for the person that he is. He loves and supports me through everything. He gives me strength when I need it, laughter with his amazing sense of humor and he gives me his love always! Watching Tim with Abbey brings tears to my eyes. He is so great with her, all you hear is laughter when they are together (she definitely has him wrapped around her finger)!

Tim is a huge sports fan—all sports and played soccer up through college. Although he and Abbey can have a pretty impressive tea party and he loves every minute of it. Tim has so many friends, everywhere we go we seem to know someone. Everyone will tell you they just love spending time with him, he literally lights up a room when he walks in.

Tim is an extremely hard worker. He is a sales manager with a pharmaceutical company and is highly respected by his director and coworkers for both his work ethic and performance. Tim’s career is very important to him but his family always comes first. He absolutely has the right perspective on life. His family means the world to him!

About Danielle… Danielle is truly a wonderful person, a great wife and a natural mother. She is very kind, extremely loving and is always the first person to lend a helping hand. I’ve known her since we were both kids and she was the “tomboy” that always wanted to play with the guys in the neighborhood. To this day she will still claim that she is “very good at taking things apart and putting them together” – even though she doesn’t read any directions.

Danielle works part time as a sales representative with a pharmaceutical company, she is the person that everyone goes to for answers. She is very well liked and respected by not only the managers, but by her coworkers as well. She can make friends wherever she goes and can make anyone laugh. When she finds some spare time you will usually find her outside, working on the garden, or going for a jog. She tries to get me out running, but I literally can’t keep up! I have done a pretty good job of turning her into a sports fan over the years, and she now watches college football even when I’m not around. Her friends all come to her for advice. Whether it’s about a friend’s work, love life or decorating ideas, Danielle has a very level head on her shoulders.

While Danielle is very good at work and being a good friend – she does her best work as a mother. I never see her smile bigger than when she’s spending time with Abbey. She’s always planning the next “family outing” even when it’s only playing on the swing set in the backyard. She works part time now but is hoping to be a stay at home mom when we have another child so that she can always be there for our children. There is nothing that gets scheduled before her family time – it is by far her biggest priority!


About Abbey…
Abbey is a miracle, in more ways than one. She is a happy, smart, energetic three year old with a sassy personality and a great sense of humor. She talks a mile a minute, much like her mommy and daddy. Abbey also has unbelievable strength. She was born with a very serious heart defect and has endured more over three years than most people endure over a lifetime. Thankfully her heart has been repaired and she will live a long, healthy, normal life.

Abbey enjoys playing with her dolls and taking care of them. She will be an amazing big sister someday. She is very social and wants to go anywhere where there are other children to play with-- luckily she has lots of cousins and friends nearby. She is really into Dora the Explorer, loves to have books read to her and is always playing in her dollhouses. Abbey also started taking dance classes this year and is quite a little ballerina. We love to spend time outside together and last summer we got a great swing set for her to play on. She can’t wait to share her toys with a baby brother or sister!

About our family and friends… It’s not often that couples can say they have both been blessed with their spouse’s family- but we can! We have known each others family’s since we were just kids and both sets of parents treat us like their own children not a son-in-law or daughter-in-law. Our parents each live about fifteen minutes from us as do our siblings and their families. Danielle’s sister, husband and three children live about five minutes from us. They have a great pool that we love to swim in all summer. Danielle’s younger brother lives about ten minutes away with his wife and twin daughters that are two years old. Tim’s older brother is engaged to be married soon and his younger brother is enjoying being single and living in the city. Both brothers like to compete for who can be Abbey’s “favorite uncle”. We are honored to be godparents to six of our nieces and nephews. The grandmothers (Nonna and Nana) each watch Abbey for us one day a week while Danielle works part time. Because we live so close we are able to visit throughout the week making Sunday dinners and ice cream outings happen very often.

Danielle comes from a great big Italian family (kind of like you see on television). Most of them still live in the area. We love to get together for holidays and birthdays and often just to hang out. She has 17 first cousins, many of whom are married with children-- family parties have taken on a life of their own. We have an equally great time with Tim’s cousins and their children. We have made and continue to make great memories spending time with them. Family is so important to both of us!

We are also fortunate to have so many close friends in the area, many of them we have known since childhood. Our children are now growing up together just like we did! We enjoy play dates and nights out with them—there always seems to be a good reason to get together!


About our home and community…
Our home is in the suburbs of a large metropolitan city. We live in a town with a lot of character. Our neighborhood is filled with lots of children and wonderful families. We often gather for cookouts, swimming, block parties and just fun playing in the yards. We are very involved with our church community as are many of our neighbors. Education is so important to us and was carefully thought of when we purchased our home. The public school system in our area is excellent as are the private schools. We have a walking trail that runs through the neighborhood that allows us to walk or bike ride to a huge playground and a ton of baseball/football/soccer fields. Our town hosts so many functions-- holiday festivities, a 4th of July parade, a carnival, seasonal festivals and so much more. It is such a great place to raise a family. We are not far from a major city which offers all that a great city can offer in a short drive.

Our home itself has plenty of room for us to grow. It’s a beautiful traditional home with plenty of play areas and a nursery that is ready to welcome a new baby. We also have several Gladney families that live in our area that we have been in touch with and look forward to spending time with and getting to know better.


We hope that this has helped you to get to know us, our family and the life we lead together. Your decision would change our lives and help us to complete our family. We hope that this glimpse into our lives has made you see what wonderful parents we would be for your child and what a fulfilling life he or she would have. We love being parents and can’t wait to share our lives and our love with another child. We pray that God is with you and that your faith is strong as you make this difficult decision. We hope that you feel God’s love and wisdom throughout your life as you pursue your own hopes and dreams. Please call us if you have any questions or would like to get to know us better. Thank you again for your courage, strength and for considering us to receive your amazing gift!


With love,

Tim and Danielle
