As some of you may know, we are hoping to start a family through the adoption of a baby, for which we have started an extensive search to locate a child. We need to ask as many of you as possible to help spread the word. Like an old-fashioned barn raising, the more people involved in the process, the greater the chances are for us to meet a pregnant woman who is considering adoption as a choice for her child.

We are sending the attached letter in hopes that you may know an expectant woman who is making an adoption plan for her baby. Or, perhaps, you know someone in your community who might know an expectant woman or would be willing to keep our letter on file (like your doctor or hairdresser). Finally, there may be a neighborhood bulletin board (local college, food co-op, YMCA, etc.) where you are allowed to post it. Strange as this process may seem to many of you, there are amazing and heart-warming stories of adoption connections made this way.
