Dear Birthmother,
There are not enough words to express how grateful we are for your consideration in what is undoubtedly a selfless act of deciding what is best for your child. While we will never fully understand the emotions you are experiencing, we absolutely admire and respect the level of courage you are exuding in exploring this process.
The American Dream for many was to give a better life to their family. Our dream has always been to start a family and give them an even better childhood and life than we had growing up. They will have a childhood that is full of love, laughs, learning, and experiences, such as going to Disney or the Outer Banks and cruising. As they grow, they will be taught many strong values, such as good character, what it means to work hard, and of course being selfless, which has brought us all together!
Every child is a gift, and if you choose us, we and our family will cherish and protect that gift with all our hearts. We will be there for every milestone, always honoring your connection with your child. Our family values open communication and respect for birthparents. We are open to discussing the type of relationship and contact you'd like, ensuring your decision is met with understanding and compassion.
We are grateful for the opportunity to share our hearts with you.
With warmth and respect,
Matt & Samantha
Our Home
We live in a more rural-suburban section of the state of New Jersey, and it is home to many beautiful parks and one of the best school districts the state has to offer. In the spring and summer months, the many baseball fields are filled from sunrise to sunset, the lakes make you forget about the shore, and the carnivals at night ensure there is always something to do. In the fall, it's all about the Friday night lights of football and the beautiful foliage. Even the winter months offer their own beauty as snow falls with the mountains as its backdrop. Our neighborhood is full of children and beautiful wildlife, and on any given day, all will be outside playing. Our community has a local pool, parks, and various activities for children, such as our local soap box derby race or brunch with Santa.
We are both animal lovers! We have two cats, Nala and Willow; a black Labrador retriever named Luna; and even two leopard geckos—and no, the geckos do not sell insurance!
Our Extended Family
We both have larger families that consist of our parents, sisters, grandparents, and many cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews. Our families always have get-togethers for the holidays, from Thanksgiving to the Fourth of July, and there are many laughs and good times shared. As the holiday season rolls in, we share the holidays with both sides of our family as our families have become very close. Additionally, Matt’s family has all winter birthdays, from December 22 to February 20, so we do not go very long without seeing each other, not to mention the countless Sunday dinners throughout the year.
Samantha’s side of the family has similar traditions, including trips to Florida, where her sister, her brother-in-law, and their children live. Vacations are a big part of both families. A trip to Alaska is currently in the immediate future, but in the past, Matt’s family has rented houses in the Outer Banks while Samantha’s family usually goes to Disney. Just like the holidays, both sides get along great and are now going on vacation together!
