Dear Prospective Donor,

I trust this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the exceptional qualities exhibited by my friends, [Her name] and [His name], as they embark on their journey towards parenthood.

I first had the pleasure of meeting [Her name] and [His name] almost four years ago, right at the onset of the COVID pandemic. Living in the same neighborhood, our paths crossed during my nightly walks with my dog Buddy, intersecting with their walks alongside their beloved canine companions, Fergus and Poppy. Through these interactions, I came to appreciate [Her name] and [His name] as remarkable individuals.

The awe-inspiring aspect of their personalities lies in their unwavering commitment to their pursuits. [Her name[, with her background in mathematics, computer programming, and psychological sciences, continuously strives for excellence. Meanwhile, [His name], has a background of banking with hobbies like being an automotive enthusiast specializing in Classic Mini Coopers and an apprentice fiddle player, seamlessly balances his diverse interests with his professional endeavors. This dynamic duo not only excels in their individual capacities but also maintains a flourishing love life that radiates love and commitment. A testament to their enduring love is evident in their intentional efforts to nurture their relationship. From designated cuisine days to movie and dinner dates, [Her name] and [His name] consistently prioritize each other. Their marriage exudes a perpetual honeymoon-like bliss, a rare quality that signifies their profound self-awareness and genuine love for one another.

There is one story that I would like to share that I hope gives you insight into who they could be as parents. I got to experience this one night when [Her name] and [His name] invited me to their place for a movie night and a dinner. They had just gotten a new table in the kitchen area, which leads to their bedroom which is where Poppy and Fergus live and have their beds and food. [Her name] and [His name] mentioned that Fergus and Poppy were behaving out of the ordinary for the past day, being “short fused” so to speak. That evening, Fergus and Poppy got so fed up with each other that they started growling at each other, [Her name] got down to their eye level to break apart the growl showdown and Fergus out of mistake nipped [Her name] on the lip as quick as lighting. After [Her name] was nipped, there was no retaliation from her or [His name], rather they stopped and thought there was something behind this, this is not them and I agree. I know Poppy and Fergus and they would never do something like this. It was the new table! After watching Fergus and Poppy move through the kitchen area, we noticed that the table was obstructing a walking path that they used to take and forced them into a choke point that was in essence “Poppy’s Territory”. After this incident, there was no aggression, bad mouthing, nor physical hits, just unconditional love, a lot of patience, and a great amount of communication between [Her name] and [His name] to figure out what was the root cause of all of this. I saw that there was consistency of the treatment and love of their little ones, and of course boundaries and discipline were set in place in the regard that Fergus and Poppy went to further training with a dog trainer to teach them that nipping, even just once, it is not acceptable. Though I have never seen a dog feel so shocked and guilty in their life, Fergus’ eyes opened so big and was so sad when he nipped at [Her name], he was all night next to her brushing up against her knowing that what he did was a wrongful mistake that hurt [Her name]. [Her name] was just telling him; it is okay and kissing him and petting him. This incident showcased their commitment to addressing challenges with love, consistency, and a steadfast approach to establishing boundaries. Please note, the table got moved and there have been no growl showdowns ever since.

Furthermore, their empathy, supportiveness, and encouragement have not only shaped my life but are indicative of qualities crucial for effective parenting. During the challenging times of the COVID pandemic, when my family faced setbacks impeding my medical education, [Her name] and [His name] selflessly opened their home, allowing me to continue my studies away from home. This act of kindness, rooted in their own experiences overcoming obstacles, epitomizes their empathetic and supportive nature. Both [Her name] and [His name] backgrounds reflect an understanding of the struggles minorities face in educational pursuits. [His name] experience as an Irish immigrant and [Her name] journey as someone with Mexican roots, overcoming barriers to achieve success, underlines their shared commitment to fostering inclusivity and breaking down educational barriers. This displayed to me that for me, a stranger that became a friend and they have this much support, encouragement, and love. I can’t imagine the things they will give and provide for their child.

In conclusion, [Her name] and [His name] are not only my friends but individuals I deeply admire. Their combined strength, compassion, and resources make them exceptional candidates for parenthood. I wholeheartedly recommend them as recipients for your consideration. I am confident that they possess the qualities necessary to provide any child with a nurturing and enriching environment, backed by the unwavering support of their lovable companions, Fergus and Poppy.

It is my honor to refer such wonderful people,
