- New Jersey -
I know in my heart I was meant to be a mom. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be a mother. I have always dreamed of it and I am looking forward to the day my dream finally comes true. I am a kind, caring, loving person and I know I will be a terrific mother. I am excited for my nephews and nieces to have another cousin they can spend time with. I’m looking forward to visits to the Zoo, walking my dogs with a baby in my neighborhood, having a child decorating gingerbread houses at Thanksgiving with their cousins and eating too many sweets. Traditions, celebrations, and everyday life events are things I am looking forward to. Believe it or not, I am also looking forward to sleepless nights, wiping runny noses, kissing a skinned knee, endlessly busy schedules, getting to school on time, guiding a cranky teenager, filling out college applications, and helping a child to feel loved and secure when frightened, shy, or insecure. I’m looking forward to all of it!
Hi! My name is Jessica. I am so grateful that you are taking the time to get to know me. I hope that my letter will give you a better picture of the person I am and the unconditionally, loving adoring family I have and their excitement to embrace and welcome your child.
I know that if you are reading this, you have a serious decision to make and I want you to know how grateful I am to be considered as an adoptive parent of your child. The fact that you are considering adoption tells me just how incredibly loving, courageous, and selfless you are. Only such a person could be considering an adoption plan for their child. I am truly inspired by the love you have for your baby. I know that it takes a very strong, brave, and loving person to consider adoption and I know that you are making one of, if not the most, important decisions in your life.
I hope by reading more about me, I’ll put your mind at ease and will give you a great deal of reassurance about the decision you are making, the type of person I am, and the life I would so gratefully provide for your child. I promise to do everything in my power to encourage and support your child to help him or her thrive and flourish. I am so grateful that you are considering me as you make this important decision.

I love children and have always longed to devote my life to raising a child. I live in the New Jersey suburbs, just outside of New York City. The town I live in is very diverse with a vibrant culture. My home is located in a small, gated community and it has a clubhouse and community pool. I live at the end of a cul de sac with woods across from me. There are a lot of children in my area and they love to see the wildlife (rabbits, squirrels and deer) that live in the area. I have two of the most gentle dogs, Dakota, a black lab and Lexi, a rescue that is part lab and part Australian Shepard. The children in the neighborhood love visiting with my dogs and throwing tennis balls for them or giving them treats! Can you envision your child joining the group? I hope so!

I am blessed to have a flexible schedule, an amazing support network, and to be financially secure.
I will always be your child’s unconditional, unbreakable support system so that your child can feel the freedom to be creative, resilient and feels free to become anything he or she wants. I believe that education is very important, but I also understand that growth and learning varies from child to child and that’s okay. I will teach he or she that no matter which path he or she chooses, I will always be here as their biggest cheerleader, sounding board, and safety net. I know it takes a village to raise a child, and I am so fortunate to have so many friends and family nearby who can’t wait to help and be a part of your child’s life.
I am the oldest of 4 children and I am also the only girl. I grew up in a small town, on a quiet side street with my brothers, David, George, and Michael. My grandma, Jean and my grandpa, Edgar lived around the corner from us and my Grammy, Marie, lived in the next town over. I have wonderful memories of playing outside, riding our bikes to the playground, playing on the town soccer team and softball team, swimming in my grandma and grandpa’s pool, sledding down the hills at the local parks during the winter after a good snow storm and so many more warm childhood memories. I hope to create such an environment for your child. Memories like this are what I look forward to sharing with your child. In high school I played 3 sports- field hockey, basketball, and track & field. Athletics and sports have always been a large part of my family. Whether it’s playing in the sport or going to a sporting event, my family has always been involved with athletics. I can’t wait to include your child in these great family activities. After graduating from high school I went to a large City college approximately 4 hours from home. Wow, did I have fun! I love to go back and visit the campus, go to sporting events there, visit my old dorms, and spend time with my friends who still live there. This is a time I will always cherish. I’m looking forward to visiting the campus and my friends there with a baby in the future too. I hope to get your child excited about going to college and I will support him or her in their education. We will have a great time and my friends there are looking forward to me introducing your child to their own children to and creating special memories.
To me, my home is my happy place and I find pleasure in the simple things like cooking, listening to music, walking my dogs, talking to my neighbors, or watching a show on tv.
My home is the perfect place to create fun and amazing memories with a child and I know he or she will love it as much as I do.
The nursery is all set up and is just waiting for a sweet, little baby to welcome!
I have two of the most gentle dogs, Dakota, a black lab and Lexi, a rescue that is part lab and part Australian Shepard. The children in the neighborhood love visiting with my dogs and throwing tennis balls for them or giving them treats!
My family and friends, no matter where they are, will always play a large part and be involved in mine and your child’s life. My mom, Cathy, lives right next door to me. My father, John, lives two towns away from me. My brother Michael lives one town away from me. My brother George and his wife Lisa live two towns away from me with their children (my nephew and nieces), and my brother David and his wife Pam live out West with their children (my nephews). My aunt Mary Lou and my Uncle Sam both live in Florida, giving me a great reason to visit sunny Florida often. My aunt Mary Lou, who teaches ballet, is hoping that she will be able to take this little one to her school one day so they can see what she does in person. My Uncle Sam, loves music, and looks forward to teaching your child all about the old Rock-n-Roll groups. Everyone cannot wait to welcome a new member to our family!
While miles may separate us, we still get together as much as possible. My brother Michael often eats over at my house once or twice a week- whether it’s cooking out on the grill on my deck or ordering from our favorite local restaurant. Dinner at my place has become a thing we do. Michael will be a wonderful Uncle and role model for your child. My mom is here often as well- cooking with me or just hanging out. I see my brother George, who is also eager to be a really involved Uncle and role model, and his wife, Lisa and their kids my niece Elizabeth and nephew Liam at least weekly, or sometimes daily, depending on what everyone has going on. Whether it’s a dinner at my place, dinner on their patio, taking his kids swimming at my community pool, or taking my niece and nephew someplace fun like the zoo or just to a soccer practice, we’re spending time together. All that is missing is a child for me to add to this mix!
Thank you for spending the time you did learning about me. I hope this has given you a sense of who I am as a person and the type of mother I will be and the unconditionally loving family your child will have and how cherished he or she will be. I hope this has helped you to learn about my values and the kind of life your child would have. If I am given the privilege to adopt your baby, always know that I will unconditionally love and cherish your child and they will forever know the sacrifices you have made out of love. I would be honored to learn more about you and the dreams and aspirations you have for your child. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 800-990-7667.
If you have any questions about me or the legal process, please feel free to contact my attorney, Suzanne Nichols. Suzanne will be happy to speak with you and has a toll free number where she may be reached: (800)255-1415. She is very nice and easy to talk to. Thank you for considering me as a parent for your child.
Whatever decision you make, I wish you nothing but the best.
Lots of Love,
Jessica
