Letter

It is always hard to know how to start a letter like this...
    To whom it may concern...
    Dear Friend.....
    Dear Birth Parents...
and the only thing that feels right is...
  
Dear Superhero’s,
If you were to walk through our home you may notice a common theme… Hero’s! From the time Clark was little he loved everything Superman. It wasn't long into our relationship that Tracie started to wonder if Clark really WAS superman! The theme of Super Hero’s is one that has followed us wherever we go. Our Son Carter has continued our love of Superhero's; just in time with the come-back of Superman, Ironman, and the Avengers. You may be wondering why we are starting our letter off with this unlikely topic; let us explain:
First, we consider you a Hero. Whether you decide to place with us or not, you are demonstrating a level of bravery, courage, and selfless sacrifice like no one else can comprehend and those are all characteristics of a true hero. You will always be a Hero in our home!
Second, is there a better adoption story than Superman? You can’t help but love Martha and Jonathan Kent, but Clark Kent would not have grown into the hero that he did without the influence and love of his birth parents as well. They sent him to Earth because it was better for him and saved his life, but they also knew the force of good he could be for the planet Earth. We know that by deciding to place your baby in our home you will be showing that same level of love and selfless sacrifice as Jor-El and Lara did. That decision will bless our family beyond measure and you and your family will always be an influence for good in your child’s life. We look forward to having you and your family a part of the child’s life and a part of our family. Together we can can help your child grow and be a force for good in the world.
We realize that your decision to place your child in our home is a decision that will affect many of your friends and family. When we think of them we are reminded of one of Carter’s favorite songs he learned from the show “Signing Times.” It says “My mom has a mom and she’s my grandma. My Dad has a Dad, and he’s my Grandpa… There are many, many people who love me.” We know that there are many, many people who love and want what’s best for your child. What a blessing it will be for him/her to have so many people that love and want what is best for them.
There is no doubt in our hearts that our family is ready for what Heavenly Father has in store for us. We pray for you and your family. May you be blessed and the Spirit be with you.
With our fondest love,
Clark, Tracie and Carter
