We might meet in the park, or in line at the supermarket. Perhaps we would smile over some mutual discovery.

If you only knew how much we could help each other. We both bear tremendous pain. You, because of an unplanned pregnancy, and I because I cannot conceive and long to adopt a child.

I want to see my husband's smile as he gently plays baby games again. I hope to give my kindergartener the chance to be a loving big brother. I yearn to nurture another precious child with abundant motherly love. Yet, tonight we will go to bed again with empty arms.

We can assist you with rent, clothes, food, and a friendly shoulder for support. You could add tremendous joy to our lives. We could be special friends, watching our baby grow.

My family will provide love, security, and the best childhood. You can call, visit, and assure the child of your love.

You hold the key to my dreams. I pray,wait, and worry that if only you knew how much we want to raise your baby, you would carry it for us. But, I do not know how to find you.

To find me and others like me, you can call an adoption agency, contact and adoption attorney, or read the internet adoption postings.

Before you make your decision about the baby inside you, please think of me and my family.

We could be special friends. Two mothers, watching our child grow.
