Dear
Expectant Mother,
We have always wanted a large family, but for some reason it didn't work out that way. From before we were married we dreamed of having at least three children. From the begining of our marriage we also always spoke about adoption. Adoption is a miracle we always knew would bring us another baby to love and cherish.
We cannot wait to welcome a new baby into our hearts and home. We hope you can make our dreams come true.
Know that we can provide a secure, fun,stable & unconditionally loving home,good education and oppurtunities for your baby. We are open to all of your questions and concerns and look forward to speaking to you.
We can't wait to have another baby,to love and to cherish. We are thrilled about the idea of our family growing through adoption.

ABOUT US
Matt and I have been happily married for 16 years. We met 18 years ago on a blind date, arranged by our friends who thought we would make a good couple. That night we realized we had a lot in common. We both came from big families who loved to cook and gather around a great meal and share stories, laugh and tell more stories. We both had wonderful relationships with our families especially our nieces and nephews. We laughed and laughed that night about all the fun times we had as kids and the joy we had spending time with the kids in our family. Matt's face lit up with pure joy when he spoke about his family. That's when I knew there was something very special about him. Matt is the youngest of seven and I am the oldest of three. We both have huge extended families who love and support us. Several of them have also adopted children and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new baby. Most of our family live about 20 minutes from us and the others live in Florida, Georgia, Colorado and Ohio. We love to take trips during the year to visit our family who live out of state.
We have a strong relationship that is based on trust and our faith. We have been best friends from the start. We have a lot of fun together and really depend on one another for support, encouragement and guidance.

Two years after we were married our terrific son Matthew was born. We absolutely love being parents. Being a mom and dad truly defines us and it is our first priority. It is just the best thing in the world. We enjoy experiencing life through our child's eyes. Seeing things we never would have seen before. Having children in our lives makes the world brighter and more beautiful.
Our family is very active and we enjoy lots of things like,eating dinner every night together, concerts,going for walks, biking at our local parks, watching Matthew's games, visiting New York City, hanging out at home with a group of friends and their children,swimming in our pool, going to the beach, carnivals, festivals, singing and dancing.
A baby would fit perfectly in our lives. Just like when Matthew was growing up, we would include the baby in all that we do. From the time Matthew was a baby he was included in everything we did, we have always done kid friendly activities and planned our fun around things that children love to do. Over the years our favorite places have been Sesame Place, Dutch Wonderland, Hershey,baseball games, the Children's Museum, Jones Beach, Disney and Sea World. We still love going to those places and have an annual membership to the Bronx Zoo and the NY aquarium. In the winter we enjoy sleigh riding and building snowmen, hanging out in our comfy den watching videos and drinking hot chocolate. One of our favorite things to do is decorate the house for Christmas. We love to look at all the ornaments that Matthew made in school over the years or we collected on family vacations. Our tree has plenty of room for lots more ornaments and memories. Every other year we like to pack up the car and head down south to visit MaryAnn's brother, Danny and his family in Georgia. MaryAnn's parents meet us down there and we have some good old southern fun. We have so much fun driving down and seeing our family. There is a great park there, Stone Mountain and they have a big Christmas Festival with carollers, and Christmas shows and a bar b que area for roasting hot dogs and smores. We love being with our family, especially during the holidays.

Being a family is the best part of our lives. We always dreamed of having a big family with lots of children, we just didn't know how difficult a journey it would be.
