Frank & Pam are hopeful adoptive parents from Illinois waiting to adopt a baby.

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

Hello and Thanks! Dear Birthparents,

Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little bit about us. We can’t begin to imagine the pain you are going through in making this decision. We do, however know the pain of not being able to have children. After months of infertility issues we found out that biological children would not be possible. We dreamt of having a family and came to realize that adoption was the answer to our prayers. Your selfless love will be a blessing to us.

Without a doubt, placing your child up for adoption is an act of unconditional love and does not come without much reflection. It is our hope that as this baby becomes part of our family, so too do you. We want this baby to always know his/her heritage, the story of his/her birth, and that his/her adoption was a gift of great love. We hope to build a relationship with you and look forward to sharing photographs, videos, and the stories of milestones and accomplishments. Our daughter, Erin, will always know her birthparents and the love they have for her.

Pam and Frank Pam and Frank
We were introduced through mutual friends in 2004. We met for dinner at their house one evening and began dating that week. We instantly felt at home with each other, the trust was there from the start. We truly are each other’s best friend. We work well together, play together, and struggle together. We were married a year later in the Catholic Church Pam has been a parishioner since she was a young child. Our Catholic faith is important to us and we hope to share it with our children.

What Pam has to say about Frank
Frank is an honest, hard-working, loving human being. He treats everyone with kindness and has a way of making others feel at ease in his presence. He truly knows how to have fun in this world. Frank is very dedicated to staying healthy. He enjoys exercising, movies, vacations, spending time with friends and family, and doing projects around the house. Frank has a Bachelor’s degree in Health Administration. He works for a medical facility in our community. He has been with the same company for many years and he is very dedicated to his profession. There is nothing more important to Frank than his family. He is a man of great character, someone that I am proud to call my husband.




What Frank has to say about Pam
Pam is a loving, kind, loyal human being. She is able to listen without judgment, and able to see things from other people’s perspectives. She often puts the needs of friends and family before her own. Pam is very open and shares her life with others. She is fun and funny. Pam loves to go to the movies, out for dinner, to the theater, enjoys nature, playing games, and reading a good book. She is most happy just spending time with family and friends. Pam has been a special education teacher for many years. She has her Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. She is passionate about finding ways for each child to recognize their own strengths so that they believe in themselves and know that all things are possible. Pam currently works one day a week for United Cerebral Palsy so that she can stay home with our daughter Erin. Pam is a woman of great integrity and I feel lucky to spend my life with her.

The Miracle of Erin In January of 2006 a miracle took place in our lives. We met the birthparents of our daughter, Erin Rose. Chris and Amber gave us an opportunity to share in their pregnancy. As they were struggling with a decision, they shared their journey with us, and we shared ours with them, both coming together for the love of a child not yet born.

Erin was born May 24, 2006. Frank and I were at the hospital the day she was born. The experience was incredible; no words could adequately describe how amazing it truly was! Erin brings great joy to everyone. She is the sunshine in our days and the stars at night—she is a miracle.

We want to share our love and our lives with another child. We can only imagine that another child would add so much joy to our lives. Erin would so love a brother or sister. Frank and I are very close to our siblings. They are our best friends. We want Erin to have a sibling to go through life with, to celebrate life’s victories as well as share life’s tough lessons. Should you decide to bless us with the joy of raising your child, we want you to know that our dreams will be complete. You can rest easy knowing your son or daughter has the unconditional love of not only a mother and a father, but of a sister as well.

Our families Pam was born, raised, and continues to live in the same town with her parents and two siblings and their families. She has a brother who resides in Texas and another brother who lives approximately an hour away. Her eight nieces and nephews bring great joy to this family. Most Sundays are spent at Pam’s parent’s house as her family is very close. Pam’s parents have been a strong support system and have taught her to be independent, but were right there if ever needed.

Frank was born to German immigrants and raised in a small town in Pennsylvania. His parents and brother continue to live in the house in which Frank grew up. His sister and her husband and one year old son live nearby. We stay in close contact by weekly phone calls, emails and frequent visits. Frank’s parents have been a big influence in his life. He shares an interest in baking with his mother and keeping the traditional German recipes. Frank’s father passed down his love for gardening and outdoor work.

Both of our parents have been married for fifty years. They are living examples of love, home and community. They taught us well. We learned to love God, appreciate family, and give back to the community. These are all character traits that we will strive to teach our children.

Our daughter Erin is the love of their lives. She has many cousins and aunts and uncles who adore her. We know that they look forward to the day when we call to say a grandson/granddaughter has arrived. They are all waiting with open arms and hearts.

We appreciate you taking the time to read our letter. We know that you are going through a very difficult time and that it takes courage and a leap of faith to take these steps. We also know that your decision to consider adoption is based purely on love. If you should choose an adoption plan, please know that your child would always have unconditional love, and know that he/she was adopted because of the unconditional love that you have for him/her. What ever decision you make we wish you the best of luck.


Best Wishes,

Pam and Frank
