We Are So Ready To Devote Our Lives To A Child!


Hi, we are Jesse and Zac!

We want to thank you so much for taking the time to learn about us. We love children, have always dreamed about being fathers and are excited and thrilled to devote our lives to a child. Adoption is already a wonderful part of our family because Jesse’s brother was adopted at birth and we are such a close family.

We know that you have a serious decision to make, and that it takes a very brave, strong, and loving person to consider adoption. We want you to know how grateful we are to be considered as adoptive parents of your child.

We Are So Ready To Devote Our Lives To A Child

We’ll tell you more about us in a bit so you can really get to know all about us, but the most important thing you should know is how excited we are to become fathers. We both...

Hi, we are Jesse and Zac!

Adoption is already a wonderful part of our family because Jesse’s brother was adopted at birth and we are such a close family.

We know that you have a serious decision to make, and that it takes a very brave, strong, and loving person to consider adoption. We want you to know how grateful we are to be considered as adoptive parents of your child.

We Are So Ready To Devote Our Lives To A Child

We’ll tell you more about us in a bit so you can really get to know all about us, but the most important thing you should know is how excited we are to become fathers. We both come from big families with lots of siblings, cousins, nieces, and nephews. We are eager to fill our lives, hearts and home with more love and happy memories because we know that love is limitless.

Now is the perfect time for us to become fathers. We have worked hard and have successful careers so that now we both have very flexible schedules and can work from home so that we can always be present parents. Plus, our parents all live nearby and can’t wait to love and spoil their newest grandchild.

In total, we have 17 nieces and nephews. We love them SO much! We are very involved in their lives, and regularly attend their sports games, school plays, and birthday parties.

They love Uncle Jesse for his mini-golf skills, yummy snacks, diaper changing skills, and Harry Potter trivia.

They love Uncle Zac for his pizza making, art projects, swimming competitions, and exciting bedtime stories. We can’t wait to give them a new cousin.

Activities with our Nieces and Nephews

We like to take our nieces and nephews to the arcades, parks, museums, swimming pool, and movie theater.

Zac loves to read stories to them, ask them questions about their days at school, and build sandcastles with them.

Jesse loves to play catch with them, goof around, and have movie nights with them.

We are the “funcles!”

Activities with our nieces and nephews vary based on the season. Summers are all about paddle boarding with them on the lake, taking them for ice cream, and playing sports outside. In the winters, we like to go snow tubing with them, make s’mores on a campfire, and build snowmen with them. Another all-year round favorite are trips to the zoo.

They call us their “funcles” because we are their fun uncles!

Jesse’s Hobbies

Jesse loves movies (comedies are his favorite), winter sports, hiking, and comedy shows. He has a heart of gold, and always puts others before himself. Jesse is always laughing and making jokes, so his friends go to him to make their days brighter. He has a huge sweet tooth, and loves to snack on Sour Patch Watermelons, Oreos with milk, and mozzarella sticks. Jesse is a kind, caring and thoughtful person who has many good friends.

Zac’s Hobbies

Zac loves music (dance, pop), swimming, paddle boarding, and traveling. He is very creative, and likes to paint, make pottery, and visit art museums. Zac gives great advice, so his friends and family call him all the time to chat. He loves to keep busy and do fun activities, including biking, ice cream making, cooking, and art classes. Zac is always thinking of new adventures and loves researching new places to visit and eat.

Now is the perfect time for us to become fathers.

Zac’s side of the family on the night we got engaged!
How We Met

We were set up on a date through a mutual friend named Leora. She thought we would be a good match because we are both really good people, family-oriented, chatty, and caring, She was right! It was a blind date, so we didn’t know what each other looked like. We were both excited and nervous, but Jesse’s hilarious jokes made the date relaxing and fun. We met at a delicious restaurant, where we ate fried chicken sandwiches.

We continue to love spending time together with family, friends, comedy clubs, dessert tours, kayaking, movie theaters, concerts, and more.


Our Wedding

Zac proposed to Jesse at a waterfall, and it was such a special moment. After we got engaged, our siblings made us a surprise celebration video with each of the nieces and nephews describing why they love us. It is the cutest video ever!

A few months later, we got married in Jesse’s parents’ backyard. Our closest family and friends were there to share in the joy. It was supposed to be a sunny September day, but it unexpectedly hailed! Our family helped to make everything possible: Zac’s mom did the flowers and Jesse’s brother made the decorations. It was a true family affair, filled with so much love and laughter.

Jesse’s Life Growing Up

Jesse’s mom is Brenda, dad is Jay, and he has five siblings: Jordan, Jarrett, Samara, Ariel, and Deena. It was a busy house! Growing up, he loved playing with his brothers and sisters, spending summers at camp, and playing basketball. He really loved reading the Harry Potter series, and has read the books and seen the movies many times! One of Jesse’s siblings was adopted at birth and this is a truly wonderful gift our entire family.


Zac’s Life Growing Up

Zac’s mom is Briana, dad is Mark, and he has two older sisters: Nicky and Ella. Growing up, he loved playing tennis, reading books, and swimming at the beach. At school, he enjoyed learning new languages, so he studied Spanish, Italian, and Latin. He has over 30 cousins, so his childhood was spent having weekly big family dinners with delicious home cooked food.

Jesse’s Hobbies

Jesse loves movies (comedies are his favorite), winter sports, hiking, and comedy shows. He has a heart of gold, and always puts others before himself. Jesse is always laughing and making jokes, so his friends go to him to make their days brighter. He has a huge sweet tooth, and loves to snack on Sour Patch Watermelons, Oreos with milk, and mozzarella sticks. Jesse is a kind, caring and thoughtful person who has many good friends.
OUR FAMILY IS SO SUPPORTIVE OF OUR ADOPTION PLAN TO DEVOTE OUR LIVES TO A CHILD

Adoption is already a wonderful part of our family because Jesse’s brother was adopted at birth and we are such a close family.

Zac’s Side of Our Family

Family means everything to us! We get together with our family each week, whether it be our parents, siblings, or cousins, often for dinner on Friday nights and barbecues on Sunday afternoons. We are both super close with our parents, and speak with them on the phone daily.

Zac’s mom is an amazing baker, and loves to bake cakes and chocolate chip cookies for her grandkids. She has thankfully shared her recipes, and Zac likes to bake them too.

Zac’s dad is a great tennis player, and we love to play tennis together in the summer. He has passed his love for tennis to his kids and grandkids.


Jesse’s Side of Our Family

Jesse’s mom loves to volunteer. She regularly helps out in schools, community events, and encourages us to volunteer as well. She is always cooking and preparing for family and friend gatherings and makes time for all of the grandkids.

Jesse’s dad loves to play cards with his friends, is a huge sports fan - especially football, and even taught the entire family to play pickleball. He never misses his grandkids’ little league sports games. He has a great sense of humor and always has everyone laughing, even if they don’t always get his humor.




Our Careers

Zac works in technology and loves his job. He works from home, so it’s easy for him to get work done while also cooking or baking yummy treats. Zac is a dedicated employee who everyone wants on their team. With his tremendous creativity and personable manner, he connects easily with all his co-workers.

Jesse works in recruiting. He is really close with his teammates, and loves to chat with them over lunch every day. He starts work every morning by 7AM, so it’s an early start. But he’s done early, so he has the afternoons free. Jesse has an amazing work ethic and is always admired for his diligence and the sense of closeness he brings to the workplace. He easily connects with his co-workers and helps create a sociable working environment.

Because Zac works from home and Jesse has the afternoons free, there will always be someone at home to watch our child. Plus, our parents are always excited to come spend time with us and their grandchild.


We Love Everything That New York City Has To Offer

We live in a beautiful, safe neighborhood in the city. It’s a wonderful area, with plenty of young families. There is even a community indoor play space and a swimming pool.

We love having friends come over often for dinner or to watch TV. If they bring their kids, we all go to the indoor play center or one of the nearby parks. We have beautiful views of a river, and the sunsets are gorgeous all year long!

The neighborhood is safe, with several great schools, libraries, theaters, and parks within walking distance. Several of our best friends live nearby in the neighborhood, so we see them every week to grab coffee and play with their kids.


Our Weekends


On weekends, if we do not go to our parents’ homes (they both live just outside the city) we enjoy taking our nieces and nephews to the movies, for hot chocolate and treats at Dylan’s Candy Bar- a favorite for all New Yorkers. We often walk around looking at all the fabulous holiday decorations as well as museums and ice skating in the park. There are always so many fun things to do!

One of our favorite places is going to the Central Park Zoo or sometimes a trip to the Bronx Zoo with friends and family.


New York City Is Magical During The Holidays

Holidays are another time when we love getting together as a family.

During the winter holidays, we stay at Jesse’s parents’ home to share big family meals, play Bingo with our nieces and nephews, and go sledding. Because we have so many kids in our family, Jesse’s mom throws a family carnival every year, with lots of games and prizes. The games (basketball, ring toss, cards) get competitive, but everyone is a winner. It’s a joyful and fun atmosphere!


Our Summer Traditions


Fourth of July is another special holiday we love to celebrate. We like to go to Zac’s parents’ house to eat grilled cheeses and ice pops. Our nieces and nephews sit with each other at the kids table during dinner, then sit on our laps to watch the fireworks. It’s a special night where our nieces and nephews get to stay up past their bedtimes, so we all look forward to the Fourth of July every year!

Because Zac has so many cousins, his family holds a reunion every summer called “Cousin Camp.” All of the cousins and their kids get together, wear matching t-shirts, eat delicious BBQ, and do backyard relay races. There are usually over 50 people, and so many little kids. It is so much fun!
ALL 4 GRANDPARENTS LIVE CLOSEBY & WILL BE VERY PRESENT GRANDPARENTS

Since we first started dating, we both talked about our desire to raise children. Because we both were raised within large families, raising children is important to us.

Why We Want a Family

Since we first started dating, we both talked about our desire to raise children. Because we both were raised within large families, raising children is important to us. We have 17 nieces and nephews, so our kids will have the best time playing and growing up with their cousins.

With all our experience with babies, we know how to do everything from diaper changing to setting up car seats. We love to stay active, and can’t wait to bring the kids to the beach, museums, playgrounds, movie theaters, sport games, and more! We want nothing more than to devote ourselves and provide a loving and lively home.

When we decided we were ready to start a family of our own, we knew adoption was the right choice for us. Adoption is close to our hearts, since Jesse’s brother was adopted. We can’t imagine the family without him! We’re thrilled to welcome a new family member through our adoption.

How We Plan to Raise a Family

We fortunately have been around children our whole lives, and been a part of our siblings raising children. In all of our parents, brothers, and sisters, we have great role models. We’re so excited to become parents!

We’re excited to teach our kids to bike, swim, read, and so much more. We want to raise them with strong moral values by being good role models for them, and send them to great schools. They will be blessed to be surrounded by amazing family members, including grandparents who live nearby. They will have an amazing support system! All of them are excited about the prospect of us starting our family.

Thank you!

We hope this has helped you to learn about our values and the kind of life we hope to offer your child. We would be thrilled to learn more about you, your dreams, and aspirations for your child.
