We are the Sparlings —

Eric, Susan, Lauren and Dylan.

We are thrilled that you have chosen to read our letter! We've seen the joy and peace of mind that comes from open adoption. Dylan was born to us through Kristen and Steven, his birth parents, whom we met through a letter like this with the IAC. The relationship and closeness that's grown with them has been nothing short of amazing and wonderful. We imagine you want the best future for your child — as you figure out what that might be, we hope you will consider us when you imagine a loving family for your baby.  We have so much love to share with both of you.
