that has yet to be born but that already has touched all of our hearts in ways
too numerous to count and, at times, too difficult to fully comprehend. |

Thank you so much for taking some time to get to know a little

We know that this decision takes tremendous courage and strength to even consider.
It requires a level of maturity and selflessness that most cannot bring from within.
It is people like you that we most respect in this world. Should we welcome your
child into our fold, they will always know of the great love that you possess.
We will never take your selfless act for granted and we will cherish the joy that
your child has brought into our lives. |
