Dear Birthmother,
We wanted to start by saying thank you. Thank you for considering us to raise and love your baby. It takes a special person to give someone else the opportunity to become parents. You’re an inspiration, and we would be forever grateful. Raising a child has been a dream for both of us since we were little. Growing up, Matthew’s friends wanted to be police officers and astronauts, while Matthew was excited to become a dad.
We’ve recently found that something is missing, and we strongly believe the missing puzzle piece is a baby. We understand we are not the traditional couple with a mom and dad to offer, but with our dedication and the help of our extended family, your baby will be very well taken care of. You see, we are very passionate about the ones we love, and we have so much more love to offer. Please know that your baby would be taken care of in every aspect. We promise to be their biggest fans and encourage them to be their own person and find their own passions. We promise to love and protect them for who they are with no limits.
In closing, we appreciate you in a way words can’t describe, and we are very excited for this new journey.
With love,
Anthony and Matthew
About Us
Anthony is silly and soft spoken, whereas Matthew can also be silly but not so soft spoken. We are both family-oriented people with a true love for our three pups. Growing up, each of our families had strong traditions, and we are excited to establish our own with our family someday. Anthony works as Director of Payment Operations, and Matthew is a licensed cosmetologist and is currently self-employed as he will become a stay-at-home dad. Anthony is very passionate about animals. His favorite part of our home is being able to feed the wild birds, squirrels, and deer that stroll through on a regular basis. Matthew enjoys both indoor and outdoor decorating and home improvement projects. We bought our house about 3 years ago and immediately started to make it our home. The nursery, of course, is next on the list. Matthew also enjoys getting his hands dirty in the garden and is looking forward to having a miniature helper beside him.
Our Home
Our house is located in the suburbs of North Georgia, close to top-rated schools and many activities for growing kids. Our house sits on a little over an acre and has plenty of outdoor space to enjoy in our large, fenced-in backyard. We’ve already planned where to put the swing set. With two indoor living spaces, it gives us the perfect opportunity to have a more formal space for guests and a laid-back, more comfortable space for us. The nursery is located directly across the hall from our master bedroom. We share this home with our three spoiled pups: Daisy, Harley, and Teddie. Daisy and Harley are mixed breeds, and Teddie is a golden retriever. They mean the absolute world to us.
Our Extended Family
We are both close to our families. Anthony’s parents, who have been married over 40 years, live about 45 minutes away. He has two sisters along with their husbands, six nephews, and one niece, who all live in New York. Anthony takes pride in being a part of their lives and being able to spoil them on Christmas and birthdays. With his parents living so close, he is able to go visit for a weekly lunch his mom loves to cook for him. More times than not, you will find us over there on a Saturday morning for a home-cooked breakfast. Anthony’s parents are both excited to add another grandbaby into the mix.
Matthew’s parents, who have been married over 30 years, also live about 45 minutes away, along with his sister, brother-in-law, niece, and nephew. He has always been a regular part of his niece and nephew’s lives with them living so close. He’s attended many football games, dance recitals, sleepovers, birthday parties…you name it. Most Sundays you can expect us to be out to breakfast with Matthew’s family. Matthew and his family have a very close relationship.
What Led Us To Adoption
We’ve each known since we were very young that we wanted to adopt. The question was never if but when. We met right before the pandemic, which gave us plenty of time to get to know each other. It was a huge relief to have met each other and finally find the partner we wanted to start a family with. We moved in together, we bought a house together, and now we are married. (We even added a few fur babies along the way.) The next step is to add a wonderful baby to our family.
