Letter
Hey There!
We feel so honored to be among the adoptive parents that you are considering.
The kitchen is our favorite place to be together!
We want you to know that growing our family through adoption is our absolute first choice and not a last resort. We cannot begin to imagine the emotions you are feeling but what we are certain of is that you are incredibly brave. We are in awe of your strength as you move through these difficult decisions. We hope as you look through our page you will see the love we have for each other, our family and our friends. Words can barely express how excited and happy we are to open our hearts and home to a child!
Our Story!
Our little family is flourishing in every way and ready for an addition!
Matthew introduced Molly to rollerblading early on in their relationship
In the beginning, Molly and Matthew were long distance while Molly finished her degree in Textile and Apparel Management and Matthew was working at his family’s fruit orchard. We made a point to see each other every weekend, and took turns driving the two hours to visit one another. Molly would bring Matthew lunch when he worked on Saturdays and we would drive down a row of apple trees to eat on the tailgate of the truck! One summer, Molly moved to Washington D.C. as a live-in nanny to three children. Matthew flew out for a month to explore D.C. with Molly and the kiddos. We had so much fun walking every inch of D.C. with the kids and trying so much new food. This summer trip was when we first knew how much love we had to give to children together. While we have only been married for a little more than a year, we have been committed partners for many years. Five years ago, Matthew made the decision to leave the fruit orchard so we could move for Molly’s corporate dream job.
Our Why
As our life together has grown, we agree now is the right time to expand our family.
We love Ramen!
Different from many couples, we decided early on that adoption is our first choice to become parents. Even before Matthew met Molly, he knew that one day he would find the opportunity to adopt a child. He knew early on in life that he wanted to be a dad and was open to however that was meant to happen. Molly also knew early on that she wanted to adopt. She first started thinking about it when she was a live in nanny and had such immense love for the children she was taking care of. Her decision was only solidified by a medical condition she has that could make a pregnancy difficult (but not motherhood!). This was a key topic we were happy to find in common when discussing our future together and what it could possibly look like. We have so much love to give and can’t wait to meet our child!
Our Hope for the Future
We hope our profile doesn't overload you with details but instead gets right to the heart of who we are and the kind of parents we will be.
.
We vow to ensure that your little one will always know how loved they are and where their life began. Beyond our home, we hope that we also captured the fierce love our larger family will have for our child. We look forward to our child sharing a close relationship with their aunts, uncles and cousins. We dream of sleepovers at Gigi and Pop's house with the cousins! Our child will be the first grandchild on Matthew's side of the family and they can't wait share their family traditions like hand picking cherries for pie!
