Dear Birth Mother,

Thank you for having the courage, compassion, and love to consider adoption for your baby. We affirm you for your courage in taking this step. We understand that you are making a difficult decision and we are praying for you and for God to bring us together. Our names are Tony and Kimberley and we are thankful you are reading our letter we've written to you. We hope it gives you a glimpse into who we are, what we believe in, and how much we desire to adopt a baby to love and cherish forever.

We are a family who has been blessed through adoption already. In December 2006, our little guy, Jake was born and we brought him home from the hospital with lots of smiles, hugs, laughter, and tears of joy. The joy that Jake has brought to our home is incredible. When he was just a baby, I would write in his journal about all the adorable actions and silly things he does during the day, and at the end I signed off "Baby Bliss and Baggy Eyes". Of course we were in bliss to have a baby that we had longed for during the first four years of our marriage, but just weren't ever able to get pregnant. We have forever been blessed by adoption.

Now we are hopeful again to adopt a baby that we can love and cherish and who will complete our family. Jake is excited to be a big brother and he actually said he can't wait for a new baby. We are ready for number two! Jake recently turned four years old and we think that this is the perfect time to grow our family again through adoption. We believe that he will be a caring big brother. Our hearts our full of love, our extended family is supportive and excited, and our home is all baby-safe. We have the perfect bedroom for a sweet new nursery.

We live in a beautiful neighborhood that is surrounded by toddler lots, parks, pools, and schools and great weather. Both the elementary school and junior high are just a stroll down the sidewalk from our home. Our friends and family describe our home as warm and inviting. Our neighbors are friendly and we feel grateful to be able to provide a loving home for our family to live in.

About eight years ago, Tony and I fell in love and promised a lifetime of love and commitment to each other. Over these years, we have been to India on a mission's trip to help the poor, and we have served in our community through our church and through our schools. We are both elementary teachers who love working with children. Tony is working as an Assistant Principal now and I teach 3'" grade part-time, so I can be home with our son on the days he is not in preschool.

We enjoy riding our bikes to the beach, going to Disneyland, camping, playing sports, such as' golf, volleyball, soccer, boogie boarding, and going to the mountains to play and ski in the snow. We enjoy daily adventures to exciting places like the Discovery Science Center, the Fire Station, different hiking trails, and simply planting our backyard garden, and getting together with friends and family for a barbecue. Our summers are filled with fun family times with many of our days spent at the beach or at the park. We are so fortunate to have our summers off. We love the outdoors and we spend quality time together as a family.

We know that this is a big decision for you and we are praying for you and baby. We hope you will be filled with blessings of peace and security in knowing you are making the best and loving choice for your baby. We are loving parents and are ready to embrace you and provide a lifelong commitment of love to our family. Thank you for thinking about our family, too.

Fondly,

Tony, Kimberley, and Jake Zini
