Steven and Amanda’s Letter

Dear Birth Mother,

We are in awe of your strength and courage as you consider adoption. No matter what you choose, we know the love you have for your baby is incredibly strong. We understand that this is a very difficult decision, and we are honored that you are taking the time to get to know our family. We pray that God will give you strength and peace during your pregnancy and beyond. If you choose adoption, our hope is that you will choose to be a part of your child’s life and we are eager to see the special bond that God forms between you and our family. We want to respect whatever decision you make when it comes to openness in adoption, but also know that you are loved and prayed for daily.

We are Steven and Amanda. We met through some mutual friends about 8 years ago and have been in love ever since. Adoption was something God placed on each of our hearts before we even met each other. We both believe that adoption is such a beautiful picture of God’s love for us and how He has chosen and adopted each one of us into his forever family. This was something we talked about on our first date together and we are so excited to see God fulfilling this dream many years later. We have been married for 6 years and have a desire to pursue each other, love each other and laugh together through each season. We have two kind and compassionate children who are ready to love a new baby brother or sister. We are so eager and excited to welcome another sweet baby into our family!

Steven works as an account manager in the DFW area, and his passion is in leadership development. He works Monday-Friday and is home by dinner time every evening. He loves playing with the kids and helping with their bedtime routines each night. Amanda recently left her career as a physician assistant to become a stay-at-home mom. She also works part-time as a teacher at our church preschool where our kids attend twice a week. She loves getting to be at the school while our kids are there and getting to be home while they are home. Our weekends are filled with a lot of family time playing at the park, going to coffee shops, playing in the backyard, going to the library, hiking, and seeing family and friends.

Family is very important to us, and we both have very loving and supportive families that are excited for us to grow our family through adoption. We bought a house in the same neighborhood as Amanda’s identical twin sister in 2022 and love getting to raise our kids so close to their cousins. We also live close to lots of other cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. Both of our parents live within 45 minutes of our home, and we see them often. We are also very involved in our local church and love being part of a close community group within our neighborhood.

Thank you so much for considering our family. If you choose adoption, we know that the decision to choose parents for your baby is a tough one and one you will not take lightly. We have so much love to give to another son and/or daughter and we are excited to meet you! We are praying for you as you navigate through this difficult season in your life and want you to know that you are loved and cherished. We would love the opportunity to share more with you!

With Love,
Steven and Amanda
