Your birth parents: who sacrificed greatly.  For whatever reason, they made the decision to place you for adoption.  You should know that they were young and just starting out in life.  I’m sure their alternatives were limited, but you can be sure that they loved you immensely.

Foster Family: who planted their own seeds of love into your life.  They experienced many first with you.  And I am sure that they enjoyed many happy moments and were there to comfort in your more troubling moments.  We are eternally grateful to them.  When we found out at your 6 month mark that we were adopting you, we felt comfort knowing that you were with a great family.

Our family: we are so happy that you are about to become part of our family.  We can’t wait to hear your tiny little voice running through the house and the patter of little feet chasing after the dogs.  We’re looking forward to an inquisitive nature as you attempt to figure out your world.  We will be there for all of it.  We will grow as a family and experience our on first.  We can’t wait because we love you this much….
