We acknowledge and honor the many feelings and emotions that must be going through your heart and mind as you make this momentous decision for your child's future. Know that you're giving us the biggest gift that we could ever fathom, and know that we will raise your child with affection, respect, and support for the person they will become. We want to continue a close relationship with you and honor your presence in your child's life to whatever degree you feel most comfortable with. We will strive to raise your child in a wonderful environment where they are given room to be themselves, surrounded with supportive family and friends, and given all the opportunities in the world. We are fortunate to be in a comfortable position where we will be able to spend lots of time as a family, travel often, and give them many rich experiences in a variety of settings optimized to supporting their whole development. We appreciate and honor you and the journey that you have undertaken. We are bilingual in American Sign Language and would love to work with a Deaf mother and/or child!
