I found Nate and Kristen's letter effective and powerful. It's straightforward and achieves in conveying their message of love and commitment to the parents.
Their audience is obviously the parents of the child they are adopting. They do a great job addressing them. They establish a friendly, understanding tone that illustrates that they are taking the parents situation into concideration as well. They state that they very well understand how they must be feeling. They continually strive to ensure that they plan and hope to build a connection with the parents, to embark on this new "journey" together.
The purpose of Nate and Kristen writing the letter is to convince the parents of their intentions and help the parents see that they are committed to being responsible parents. They strive to achieve this purpose throughout the essay. They emphasize the fact that adoption is what they want--that the are prepared. They explain their whole situation--how they had been thinking about raising a family in general, but are ready to take on the situation that they are confronted with. This also presents their level of maturity--that they didn't give on the idea of raising a family. They also cite Kristen's desire to adapt.
Their occasion for writing the letter is to convince the parents to permit them to adapt their child. This, as aforementioned, is adeptly presented through the personal commitment they explain in the letter.
