Nichole

Hello!

How do I even come close to expressing the appreciation and admiration I have for you for considering an adoption plan for your child. I wholeheartedly respect your decision and I’m humbled by your love for your baby.

My journey to motherhood has been a long road, but one I’m 100% committed too. Adoption has always been a part of my family and I knew that I would be forming my own family one day and that adoption would be a part of that journey.

I have always been creative, and I decided to study journalism in college. Over the years, my passion for being creative has evolved and I’m now a Creative Director for a marketing agency.

Thank you for taking a few minutes to learn about me. I truly embrace everyday with gratitude and try my best to live a life of my own making.

I wish you nothing but peace and love!

Hi!
I want to start by acknowledging the difficult decision you are considering and let you know how much respect I have for you. I am so excited to become a parent, and hope that through this book you will see how much love and support I have to give to a child.

I was brought up in a very loving home and have a small but close knit family. Some of the best memories of my childhood include my brother and cousins. Family is so important to me and I dream about the day that I will get to see my child create similar memories with their own cousins.

I love to travel and explore new places, and can’t wait to share new experiences with my child. I am excited to play in the park, teach them to respect all living things, go to museums and movies, explore all that the city has to offer, and experience the world through their eyes. Most importantly, I want to raise my child to live a happy life in which they feel confident, loved, and supported enough to pursue their own dreams.

As you continue reading, I hope you will get a sense of who I am and what I have to offer a child! Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me!
