Dear Birthmother,
I want to thank you for taking the time to read my profile, learn about me
and the life I can offer a child, and for considering granting me the great
opportunity to become your child’s adoptive mother. I can only imagine
the range of emotions you are experiencing at this time and want you to
know that I truly respect and admire you for making this difficult and
selfless decision.
I’m a divorced woman who has decided to become a single mother. I
hope to remarry someday, but have decided to build my family now
through adoption and share the love, encouragement, and support I can
offer. I have lots of support from my family and close friends, and am
excited to embark on the journey into motherhood.
I’ve lived in New England for most of my life. My home is a
townhouse style, two bedroom condominium that I own and there
are many young children in my neighborhood.
I work in the technology industry as a marketing manager for a midsized, global software company and enjoy my job. I’m fortunate to
work for a family friendly company that offers a flexible work
environment and plan to take three months off post-placement.
Upon my return to work, my mother will provide childcare for two or
three days per week, with the remaining days covered by either a
daycare center or an in-home nanny. I’m able to work from home as
needed, so having to unexpectedly be home with the baby won’t be
a problem.
My town offers a good school system and my home is within three
miles of the elementary, middle, and high schools. There are two
parks nearby, as well as the town common (which hosts a farmer’s
market in the summer months), grocery stores, a large shopping
mall, and my gym (which offers babysitting services). The city is a 40
minute drive or train ride away and I love going there to explore
museums, attend sporting events and concerts, to shop, and to try
new restaurants. I also enjoy spending time at the beach which is
about an hour away. I’m mostly a warm weather person, but
sometimes during the winter I’ll go skiing or snow tubing.
I live near several outdoor recreation areas.
This park is 5 minutes away and includes a play
ground and 1.5 mile path where I enjoy walking.
It’s always filled with runners, dog walkers, and
kids on bikes.
My immediate family is small and includes a younger sister and
our mother, both of whom live nearby. We are close, supportive
of one another, and speak daily. They are excited about
becoming a Grandma and Aunt and will be an integral part of
your child’s life. In addition to my mom and sister, I’m fortunate
to have a group of close friends, both women and men, who are
an important part of my life. They are excited about my decision
to adopt and will be part of my support network.

Spring is my favorite season. I love the longer hours of daylight,
seeing the trees come back to life, the scent of the flowers I
planted in my two gardens, and hearing the birds chirping
outside my windows. The only things I could do without are
pollen and my allergies!
This two-day blizzard left over two feet of snow
on the ground! In this case I needed snow shoes
to get out through the garage (you can see my
footprints).
Annual New Year’s Day celebration.
Cheering the marathon runners. This has
become an annual tradition and is a lot of fun.
A summer night out.
Florida get together with college friends.
Rent a kayak and paddle around a lake
or down a river.
Dine out with friends. I really enjoy
trying new restaurants and different
types of food.
Go for a bike ride. I met this deer in
the FL keys.
