INTRO LETTER
Our Introduction Letter
We met in the fall of 2012. We did not quickly become friends but remained acquaintances for many years. Most of our time spent together was in groups with other friends. In 2015 we saw the possibility of a relationship together and went for it. We found that we shared a lot of the same values. We both had a strong desire to get married to someone who loves God and loves others well and raise children to do the same as children are a blessing from God (Psalm 127:3-5). We began dating September third of 2015, were engaged by April 30th of 2016 and married by September third of 2016.
I [Her name] was already thirty when we got married and had been diagnosed with dysmenorrhea when I was a teenager and placed on low dose birth control to help stabilize my symptoms. So we were aware that beginning a family probably would not be straight forward.
I think we thought it would take a few years before we would get pregnant and have kids. After the first year without results I went ahead and had some imaging and blood work done by my ObGYN. She said everything looked good. So they recommended [His name] be evaluated.
I [His name] saw a urologist specializing in infertility. He ran blood work, imaging and a semen analysis. The analysis came back low but not infertile. Our take away from our doctors was that we could look into surgical procedures but it was recommended we just keep trying. During this stage of trying and waiting, [Her name] experienced multiple early miscarriages so we began to pray about IUI or IVF. We had been trying for about three years by this time of serious prayers over which direction to take.
In 2020 we felt ready, mentally, emotionally and financially, to undertake the surgical procedures. [His name] had scrotal surgery to help improve his numbers and the next year [Her name] had a diagnostic laparoscopic surgery which uncovered two ovarian cysts which were known from previous imaging and from them bursting in the past. What was new was that now from endometriosis, diagnosed with the laparoscopic exam her ovaries were covered in a growth called an endometrioma and this was probably preventing proper ovulation.
With these obstructions removed we were given the clear to try conceiving while waiting on our appointment with a fertility specialist to discuss Assisted Reproductive Technologies. In 2022 we went through 1 round of IVF which resulted in three embryos but only two survived by the day of insemination. We had those two inseminated and [Her name] was pregnant! Finally!
It only lasted 3 weeks. Into the third week, We received the bad news that the HCG level was no longer increasing at the rate it needed to and we should prepare for an early miscarriage. Another one. We opted to have a retest done just in case but it was confirmed. And the next week both babies passed. It was the most traumatic thing we went through together because of how much hope there was in what God would do with our faith in Him through this process.
After the miscarriage, we discussed with our fertility doctor all our options again. It was his opinion that we would probably need to do three to five total IVF cycles before getting a viable pregnancy. That was not what we wanted to hear. The good news we were given was [Her name] responded “text book” to the medications and could get pregnant.
The option of embryo adoption came up prior and again peeked our interest. When discussing IVF initially there was the consideration that needed to be made about what to do if we have too many embryos and the need to trust that God would have them intended for the right parents and home. After all, we believe that as much as we love our children and want good things for them, God’s desire and provision is more so (Luke 11:11-13). We feel called and are excited for the opportunity to become the parents to children who are in their own way waiting for the right people to take care of, nurture and raise them up to one day becoming who God intends them to be.
REFERENCE LETTER 1
Embryo letters
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing this letter in support of [His name] and [Her name] as prospective embryo adoptive parents.
I first met [His name] and [Her name] in the fall of 2019 as they were getting ready to move to [City]. They immediately joined our church and became integral to the community here. My wife and I have a close relationship with [His name] and [Her name]. They come over regularly to spend time with us and our 4 children. Whether it is swimming in our pool, telling jokes, or just sitting around talking, our children love to be around them. [His name] even taught my 3 oldest how to dive into the deep end of the pool!
I believe with absolute certainty that [His name] and [Her name] will be great parents. Their faith in God leads them to care deeply about how they think, speak and act. They are respected by those inside and outside of the church. [His name] has a great job as an airline pilot and is a man of great character. [Her name] has shown her great intelligence and ability to problem solve as the bookkeeper for my church and cares deeply for those around her.
It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation and to give my full support for them as prospective embryo adoptive parents. It is my honor to be their friend and pastor and I can’t wait to see them raise up children as wonderful as they are.
Sincerely,
B. M., Lead Pastor

REFERENCE LETTER 3
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to express my support for [His name] and [Her name] as prospective embryo adoptive parents.
I met [His name] and [Her name] approximately three and a half years ago. We met through church, and they made a very positive impression on me.
Both have impressed me with their sincerity. I was happily allowed to accompany [His name] and [Her name] during health care procedures and follow up for [Her name]. During that time together we became much better acquainted.
[His name] and [Her name] make time to include others in their lives and I have been lucky enough to be part of that time. I felt loved and very accepted even with the large age difference we share.
[His name] and [Her name] will be such loving and caring parents. I have seen them interacting with youngsters in our church family. Such joy is seen in the children, [His name] and [Her name]. I believe they are firm and solid in their devotion to one another. I feel confident that their devotion and love to a child would be no less. [His name] and [Her name] will have the support of their friends, family and community when they are blessed with a child. I cannot imagine better parents.
I am pleased and honored that I was asked to write this letter for them. I can show my love and support to this dear couple and pray that they will be blessed with a child to love and raise as their own.
Sincerely,
