Let’s say you’re getting ready to send your Introduction Letter to a group of family and friends. And Aunt Mary is on the list.

Aunt Mary probably would not have paid attention to the young woman, pregnant, waiting with her mother for a 6-month check-up (no husband or boyfriend present). Aunt Mary would not have noticed over-hearing the stray word "adoption" that drifted from the woman and mother’s conversation.

Now assume Aunt Mary’s doctor visit happened the day AFTER the arrival of your Introduction Letter. How different would Aunt Mary’s office visit have been?

If Aunt Mary was an out-going person, she might have struck up a friendly conversation with this woman and her mother. She might have shared her stories of when she was pregnant with your cousin, Betsy. Aunt Mary might have noticed that there was no husband or boyfriend present....and she may have even said something about it to the young woman.

Aunt Mary may have even mentioned that she knew some very nice folks that were in the process of searching for a child to adopt. Wow!

We have no way of knowing if this fictional story would have ended differently, before your Introduction Letter versus after. But we do know one thing. Aunt Mary’s AWARENESS to an adoption opportunity would have been heightened due to your letter. After that, it would have been up to her to have taken action on her new awareness.

And if Uncle Joe doesn’t, then your cousin’s friends, Frank and Sue might. Or perhaps Cassandra, Tamara, Alfred or Josh might. Or Gary, Mohammed, Steve or Mark.

And even if none of these people take action after receiving your Introduction Letter, they will be reminded of your desire to be parents a few weeks later…because they will receive your second letter. And then your third. And then a postcard or two or three or seven!

So, you’re starting to see how things are coming together. BUT WAIT!!!

Before we can head out and "willy-nilly" start contacting people, you need a "place" to have everybody send a Birthmom when they meet her.

In Steps 5 through 8, we will dig into the process of contacting this large audience. But first, in Step 4, we will create a "safe place" for everyone to send a Birthmom to learn about you.
