Letters to Our Birth Mom from Others

Our families wanted to write to you too. Here are some letters from them...

From Meredith- Our Sister-In-Law (Married to Heath's brother Ben)


Dear Friend,
I know you are in the midst of making the biggest decision of your life and I wanted to take the opportunity to tell you about Heath & Adrienne from my perspective. They are my Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law but they are also some of my dearest friends!

Adrienne is going to be a great Mom! My girls ADORE her! She really knows how to 'take one for the team!' They always have a lot of fun when "Halla" is around, even when it might not be quite so fun for her; she is a good sport! Adrienne is honest and trustworthy. She loves to be silly and have fun but it's also very easy to have a serious conversation with her. She is human and that's one of her best qualities. She is super organized and put-together. She is going to be a very tender Mommy, she is very caring and loving.
Heath is my kids' silly uncle! He can get them giggling and having a great time like no one else can. He is super creative and imaginative, he loves to play. He is probably one of the most genuine people I've ever met, there is not a mean bone in his body. He thinks the best of everyone and can always see the upside to things. Heath can ALWAYS make me smile and he would do anything to help out. He is just a genuinely great guy, and always has been!
My kids get so excited when Heath & Adrienne are in town for the weekend. They have spent countless hours with our girls from the time they were infants. I am always amazed by how much I can feel the love that they have for our kids. I always hear people say "I love your kids like they were my own" and with Heath & Adrienne, I actually believe that!
They are so ready to have a family of their own. My little family has brought me the greatest joy I can imagine and I know that these two want that in their lives also. I hope you will give them very serious consideration because I know that your sweet little one would be loved tremendously in their home. And not only would he/she be loved by Heath & Adrienne, but by our entire family! (And there are a LOT of us! J)
Love,
Meredith Breinholt

From Janie- Adrienne's Mom


Dear Birth Mother, 
This is Gramnette! I am Adrienne's mother and hopefully a soon-to-be Grandmother! I am so excited to share this great joy and blessing with Adrienne and Heath! I have taught children for 39 years and cannot wait to be able to read with my first grandchild.  
 Adrienne is a very sweet and loving daughter, wife, and friend! Adrienne has always wanted to be a mother. She would roll our wonderful dog Missy around the neighborhood in a stroller dressed up like a baby! She never wanted a play stroller. It had to be a real baby stroller because she wanted to practice being a great mother. She babysat through high school and even spent many years helping one of my best friends with her twins who were born very early. She spends a great deal of time with nieces and nephews on both sides of the family.  
 Heath is a very kind and loving son-in-law. In fact I love him so much that I call him my son, not my son-in-law! He loves children and family. Heath is a very devoted husband and will spend hours surrounded by family and loved ones. He loves playing and spending time with nieces and nephews. He loves singing and makes up wonderful songs as he plays with them.  
 Both Adrienne and Heath will be very devoted parents. They love nothing more than spending time with family and friends. You may trust them to be wonderful parents to your son or daughter. We will surround your child with love and support!
 My husband and I are looking forward to the day that we can spend time with our grandchildren. Your child will be dearly loved by not only us but also great grandmothers, aunts, uncles and cousins! There will be many little cousins to grow up with and to share many wonderful memories with. 
 Please be assured that your child will have all the love and support that he or she needs. I promise to spoil my little one with love and kindness, and feel very blessed to be considered to be your child's grandmother!  
 Love,  
 Gramnette Barnette


From Kami- Heath's sister

Dear Friend,
    Let me introduce myself, I'm Kami, Heath's sister. We come from a large, and very close family and we are all excited for a new addition to our family! I'm going to try to give you a closer look into Heath and Adrienne. 
    Heath will be a wonderful father. He has always been very imaginative and when it came to building forts, legos, or anything else we always wanted Heath to be the one to build it because he could make anything. I would build a very poor excuse for a car with legos and look over to see Heath's massive airplane with moving parts and all. His creations surpassed everyone's imaginations. He even wrote a jingle for our answering machine as a boy and to this day I can still sing it for you. Not only is Heath imaginative but he is also very smart. He knows a little about everything and he remembers just about anything he reads. All in all when Heath was around it is never dull.
    Adrienne is Heath's perfect match. I could search the world over and not find someone more suited for Heath then Adrienne. She is sweet, fun loving and spunky. Adrienne is the first to jump in and lend a hand when needed and she's great at listening and giving advice. Many times when I was down Adrienne was there to give me love and support. She understood when many people didn't. I'm so glad she is a part of my family.
    I hope this helped you get to know us a little better. We can't wait to meet you.
Love,
Kami
