Dear Birth Parents

This letter is a pretty good argument for Nate and Kristin. Their claim, although not directly stated, is that they will make good parents for someone's child who will be adopted by them. In this letter, they are trying to convince parents who want to put their children up for adoption that this is true. It is very clear that the audience this is directed toward is the parents of potentially adopted children. One reason that they have is that both Nate and Kristin have wanted to be parents for a long time. This doesn't really have any evidence, but it is not the kind of reason that requires evidence to back it up. However, they do give some background information on this like some of the history of how they have always wanted children. It is possible that may not be true, but there is no reason for it to be false since they are trying to adopt. The other reason that they use is that they are prepared to be good parents. The two points of evidence for this reason is that they did not want to try to have kids until they were ready financially, and that they have learned a lot about themselves and their desire for children during the struggle with infertility. The main point is supported, but other viewpoints are not really addressed. Some alternative viewpoints are that they will not be good parents, or another couple will be better parents. Nate and Kristin could have done a better job countering these points, but it is still a convincing letter.
