Scott & Lora 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.

Welcome!!! When we sat down together to write this letter to you, we were filled with many emotions. Obviously we are excited and hopeful as we take steps that will lead us closer to you, and in time, to our first child. On the other hand, we acknowledge what a significant time this is in your life, as you make decisions and plans for your baby’s future.

We want to give you an honest representation of our life, so you can make the best choices for you and your baby.

It’s up to you - We are more than willing to share occasional updates with you. Through photos, letters and emails, we can keep you posted on how the baby is growing and thriving in our care. We have learned that the desire to be updated is not for everyone, we respect your decision either way.

Our Story Scott and I met through a friend at work. She told me about Scott and I was open to meeting him. We had our first date on New Year’s Day 2000. Scott lived about 45 minutes away and we made plans for him to come to my apartment. Scott is a talented cook; he impressed me by bringing everything he needed to prepare a delicious dinner for two. From the first moment that I saw Scott at my front door, I knew in my heart that he was the man that I was going to spend the rest of my life with. It was clear to both of us early on that our connection was something special. We have been together ever since and are now married 7 years.

What we do for a living - Lora is a registered nurse and works in a large teaching hospital as a clinical nurse specialist. She works in the nursing education department and is responsible for a variety of educational programs at the hospital. Scott is an electrical mechanical assembler. His company manufactures circuit card assemblies for the military. Our careers allow us to live a nice lifestyle, give us financial security and excellent health insurance too.

Adoption & Parenting We arrived at adoption after five years of trying to get pregnant. After two miscarriages, we began exploring our options. We considered; infertility treatments, egg donation, and adoption. Our true dream was to have a child, not just become pregnant. After much thought and prayer we came to the conclusion that adoption was our path to parenthood. We fully embrace this journey and feel a sense of peace, knowing this was all meant to be.

Explaining adoption - It is our goal to help our child have a positive understanding of adoption. We will explain that families are created in many ways, and ours was formed with love - through adoption. We want to help our child to appreciate the decisions that you made in order to give him/her a bright future. Mainly, we want our child to know that they are loved by many people including his/her birth family.

Parenting - After the baby arrives Lora will take a three month leave. Lora is fortunate to have a fabulous onsite daycare at the hospital which will allow her to visit the baby throughout the day. As a nurse she has a nice schedule and typically works four days a week.

Lora has always wanted to become a mother. She dreams about the opportunity to pass on the love, traditions, and values that were given to her by her parents. Her actions will show our child how immense her love is and how blessed she will feel to be a mother.

Scott grew up without a father figure after his parents divorced. Because of this Scott feels strongly about being a dedicated dad and great provider. He wants to be there for his child and teach him/her the importance of integrity, compassion, fairness, and honesty. We both want to instill in our child a sense of humor, not to take the world too seriously, and know that it is also OK to cry.

Most importantly, we want our child to know that our love, support and encouragement are undying. We both are committed in raising this child to be a happy, educated, and self-confident individual.

We are surrounded by the support of our family, friends and church community—all of whom look forward to welcoming a new little one into their hearts. Our Family & Friends mean a lot to us, and we get together with them as often as possible. The support of our family and friends regarding our decision to adopt has been unwavering. They were there for us as we experienced the heartache of two miscarriages, and they know our strong desire to become parents and start our family.

We purchased a beautiful ranch style home in a great family orientated neighborhood. We completed extensive renovations to make it beautiful inside and out. Together we created a loving home and nurturing environment, the perfect place to raise our family. We can’t wait to welcome our child home.

Here Kitty-Kitty - We have two cats Jake and Indy, who are brothers. We rescued them from a local animal shelter about a year ago. They are both lovable with great dispositions.

Hobbies – Lora enjoys gardening and likes to plant pretty flowers around our property. She likes to make elaborate cross-stitch projects for our home, as well as gifts for family and friends. Lora likes to keep fit and practice yoga. Scott likes to read, cook, and grow fresh vegetables and herbs in our garden. Together we enjoy being outdoors; we both enjoy hiking and spending time at the beach, since we live so close to it.

A large part of who we are comes from our Faith in God. We will make every effort to teach our child that God is loving and compassionate. We believe having faith is essential in life, and we want to share this with our child.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We hope you choose us as parents for your precious baby; but, more importantly, we hope that you find peace with whatever decision you make. We will hold you in our thoughts and prayers in the weeks to come.

With hope-filled hearts,
Lora & Scott
