It has been some time since I posted due to having jury duty. It has been years since I was summoned so I was very excited. I know it is weird but I like doing it, the whole process is interesting to me. I have also been busy trying to set up some fundraising opportunities for us. I will talk about those in a different post. Today I thought I would explain the birth mother letters that we will be making. When I mention them in casual conversations with people I always get a very confused look, so I am going to do my best. This letter is set up like a small brochure and printed in color on paper kind of like card stock. The front page will have a picture of us and a greeting thanking the Expecting mother (EM) for taking the time to get to know us a little and expressing our understanding of the difficult decision ahead of her. We will also have contact information for us;new email address, a toll free number, and our agencies info as well. The next few pages will have sections about our interests, our family, the type of community we live in, what we plan on trying to teach our child and how they will fit into our lives. We both also had to do a section about the other in our own words. This section talked about our character and what kinds of things each would do with our child like teaching them to play sports or reading  to them every night. Along with the text there will be a lot of pictures of us doing things we like and playing with our friends children. So I guess the short way to explain this is it is a brochure that is used to market us a the best parents for there child.
