Dear Birthmother,
Dear Expectant Mother,
We are beyond touched that you took the time to read our profile. Adoption is something we hold close to our hearts. All we have ever wanted was to build a family—one rooted in love, respect, and understanding. We have always dreamed of becoming parents, and the journey to parenthood has taken us down this wonderful path we never could have imagined. We are grateful to you that it finally feels attainable.
Through both pet parenthood and being an aunt and uncle to our two precious nephews, we have realized life’s purpose and felt unconditional love. We cannot wait to translate those experiences into unmatched love for a child. Welcoming your child into our home will guarantee them a life of laughter, happiness, support, and stability. Not only will your baby be loved by us but by our vast extended family and close-knit group of friends. They will never know a day without love.
We deeply admire your strength and courage, and we truly respect and honor the choices you have made. There are not enough words to fully convey the depth of our gratitude, which will last a lifetime.
With love,
Alyssa & Matt
Our Home
Purchased in 2015, our three-bedroom home is a cozy space we have enjoyed renovating over the last three years. We are near a popular outdoor mall and many parks and outdoor spaces. Our two dogs make our home extra special, and they have thrived in brotherhood and love while spending time with Mom and Dad cuddled up on the couch watching reruns of our favorite shows in our upstairs loft, which doubles as a living room.
Our Extended Family
We come from very different family backgrounds but have both thrived in experiencing each other’s family dynamics.
Matt comes from a very large family, with nearly 40 first cousins as his parents were each the oldest of six children. He has two siblings of his own, a sister and a brother, and is the oldest. His sister has two children who are two and four, so both of us have truly embraced the roles of aunt and uncle. Christmas is a special time of year for the family as both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are each spent with nearly 50 close relatives on each side of the family.
Alyssa comes from a much smaller family, with only five first cousins. She is also the oldest to two younger brothers, whom she considers two of her closest friends. Her parents love dogs, and this was passed along to her and each of her siblings as they all have dogs of their own. Alyssa grew up Jewish and enjoys introducing Matt to various traditions, such as Passover and Hanukkah. She also grew up in the Chicago area, so Chicago sports are a major part of her family’s life.
