Need any of us to write a letter. Here's just some thoughts.
To whom it may concern:
I find it disconcerting that in this day and age, where children go on unadopted for years and years and end up in a cycle of foster care; that you are considering denying these loving parents of a child. A child should never be denied the opportunity to be loved and cared for not only by 2 loving parents but also a big sister, grandparents, cousins, uncles, and aunts.
To deny this child to this family for "bonding" reasons is wrong. In the old days of adoption, I doubt this would ever been brought up as a reason to refuse an adoption. What's the difference between this and someone who gets pregnant after any other adoption has gone through? The reasoning is all wrong!
Although I am not a parent, I have a degree in Education. Whenever I see, talk to or watch television shows of parents of more than one child; answer is the same to the age old question. Will you love this new child as much as your other children. The answer is the same. The affection and love will not be split or fractioned. A parent's heart grows larger so there's more love to share and not less.
I have met the father of this adopted child. By hearing his story of for how long he and his family have welcomed this child (before adoption) into their family unit; I see no other option than to let this adoption go through. I doubt you will find a more loving family to bond with this child.

Hope this helps. If you need me to send it to you signed, I'll do it. If you want to use any part of this letter to write to these officials, you have my permission to use any whole or part of it.
