Daddy and I went for supper tonight, to celebrate the first step taken with our selected Agency; the mailing of our Application for a Vietnam Adoption. As part of the TDH forms, we had to write a paragraph on why we want to adopt – this is what we wrote to them:
From the very beginning of our relationship more than nine years ago, we spoke about how important it was for us to be a family. We love children and without them in our lives something very important is missing. We both come from large families and so when we finally married two years ago, we knew we wanted to have children. The need to become parents has been what has led us and our hearts here to writing this letter with the utmost sincerity... When we learned of the many children around the world, specifically in Vietnam, in need of loving homes, we knew this was our calling. After a few years of attempting to become pregnant, we have accepted that this may never be a possibility. To us, the importance of becoming a family truly out weighs the method in which it occurs – as the addition of a child or children would finally make our family whole and this is why we want to adopt. We feel we have a lot to offer a child(s), as they would us. Dirk and I have a wonderful, fun loving relationship. We have grown together over the years, supporting each other with all endeavours, over coming many of life’s obstacles and still our love and life together continues to grow stronger and better with every passing day. We have a wonderful family surrounding us, filled with love, laughter, support and encouragement and if we are fortunate enough to be able to share our lives with that of an adopted child(s), we will devote everything we have, and everything we are to making sure their life is filled with joy and happiness. We thank you with all our hearts for considering us and for helping to make our dreams of a “complete” family come true.
