Dear
Expectant Mother,
I
am sitting here writing to you via my blog, but I really wish we were both
sitting nice & cozy in my living room chatting about life while drinking a
Diet. Dr Pepper and eating Chickfila. That’s my idea of a great heart to heart,
but
instead I will share my heart here, in hopes that this blog finds you in a
moment where you can genuinely connect my heart to yours.
I’ll
introduce myself to you, but first let me start by saying if I was really
saying all of this I would be talking really fast and would probably be BRIGHT
RED because I would be so nervous and so very happy to be introducing myself to
you, the woman I have prayed for 4 years. So here it goes:
My
name is Amy, but I can’t wait for the day that I hear Mommy more often than I
hear my first name. I am married to the love of my life, Seth. He is the
Associate Pastor of our church, and a Radiation Protection Inspector. He is a
wonderful provider and goes above and beyond to make all of my dreams come
true. I am a 3rd grade teacher and lead the Children’s Ministry at
our church. We have a Golden Doodle, named Mr. Marley Marbles. We also love to
travel the world and explore new places. I can’t wait to plan future family
vacations with a new little one or ones. I have 3 brothers, who are the
absolute most fun. We have a total of 12 nieces and nephews, between mine and
Seth’s side. We also have a huge extended family with lots of aunts, uncles,
cousins, and grandparents. I am obsessed with all the things Disney related. I
love Disney movies, Disney world, and just Disney in general. I love to read,
it’s a soothing relaxation tool for me. Anyways, enough about me. I want to
talk to you about you, you are the woman we have prayed for. For 4 years.
We
got married 4 years ago, we knew that infertility would be something we would
face; but in our hearts we always knew that adoption was something we wanted
to pursue, when the Lord told us the right time to begin the process.
In July of 2017, we felt led to begin looking for an expectant mother who
wanted to give life to her baby through the gift of adoption. This leads us to
this letter that I am writing to you……
I
think of you often. It’s weird to think that I can think about someone I have
never met, but I do. I think of you more than I ever thought I could. I catch
myself daydreaming about you. I
wonder what you like to do for fun, what kind of movies do you like, what’s the
song that you can never stop singing, what has your pregnancy craving been,
what’s your favorite soda, do you even drink soda, do you like plays, do you
like games, do you like sports, what is your favorite color, do you like alone
time, or are you a people person, as you can tell my mind wonders sometimes,
even in this letter I have gotten lost in a day dream wondering where you are
in the world reading this letter….
I think about you so
often, but as I often as I think of you, I pray for you. I pray for your heart.
Your beautiful, precious, life-giving heart. I pray for your health, your
physical and emotional strength, your mind, and your little one that you are
giving life to.
My
husband and I could never imagine what you must be feeling, experiencing, and
thinking during this difficult time. Our hearts break with you, as you face
this life changing decision for you and your little one. We think often that the happiest
day of our lives could be the most heart-breaking day of yours. That image of your heart is not lost
in our happiness, we see you. We see your heart. Please know that we, two
complete strangers, are praying whole-heartedly for your broken heart. It will
not go unseen. Ever. You would be giving us a gift that we cannot give
ourselves. You would be giving us the opportunity to have a family, to fulfill
our precious, longed for dreams of being called Mommy & Daddy. You are our hero.
With
this little life that you entrust us with, we promise to fill it with love, laughter,
adventure, and most importantly, the love of Jesus. We promise to raise
them to know how loved they are by their Creator, Jesus Christ. We promise to
protect them in this world. We promise to make memories in the little things
and big things that life brings. We promise to show them the world and let them
explore it! We promise to teach them to dream big dreams, and to chase those
dreams. We promise to make sure our child or children know that they are always
loved by you, the one who gave them life. We promise to tell them how brave of a
mother you are for choosing LIFE for them. We promise to love them
unconditionally through all things. We promise to be the people that we always
said we would be. We promise to try and be the best Mommy and Daddy that we can possibly
be.
I
hope this letter finds you in a finds you in a place where you can see my heart.
I love you, and I am praying for you from the time I wake up in the morning
until the time I fall asleep. I hope we can connect soon and together we could
be motherhood. Until we meet, know that you have us, in a small town in South
Carolina praying for you!
With
Love,
Amy
D.
