As this dream is growing closer to a reality, we are so deeply grateful and thankful for women like you who have to make very hard decisions so that we may have a chance to continue our love story and grow our family. We understand that considering adoption isn’t easy but hope you find peace and solace knowing one of us is the result of a successful adoption. Family means everything to us, and we are thrilled to be given a chance to start our own. We haven’t met you yet, but you are already one of the bravest people we know. This exceptionally selfless act makes you the heroine of our story into fatherhood.
Both of us have dreamed of having children ever since we met. We stay up late discussing how we will parent certain situations, potential baby names, and even how the nursery will look in our home. We have so much love to give and promise to raise your child in a way that would honor you. This will also be the very first grandchild for either of our families, which means they will be spoiled beyond belief and showered with love for a lifetime.
We really appreciate you for taking the time to get to know us a little better, and we are eternally grateful for the consideration to join you on this journey.
With love,
Julius + Matthew
Family means everything to us, and we are thrilled to be given a chance to start our own.
-Julius & Matthew
Our story began in 2015 while Julius was traveling for work and had a chance encounter with Matthew in Georgia. We quickly learned we had similar tastes in music and almost immediately began sharing playlists and attending concerts together. After daily FaceTime calls and many flights to visit each other, we relocated to Louisiana and got married in 2021. Throughout our wedding ceremony, we highlighted the music that brought us together. Julius works as an epidemiologist with a research interest in infectious diseases. Matthew works as a treasury analyst with experience in corporate real estate and finance. When we are not working or listening to music, we enjoy our weekly Thursday night movie dates, riding our bikes in the park, and traveling the world to experience new cultures.
We bought our first home in 2022 in Louisiana. We have a three-bedroom home with a covered back porch and spacious backyard. We live in a residential neighborhood that is full of young children. In the neighborhood, there is an elementary school, a church, and a golf course. We are located near the city park, local zoo, and aquarium. We are centrally located within our area of the city, so most shopping can be done within five minutes of our home.
Julius is the oldest of three children and was raised by his mother. We are also very close with his grandmother. His mother, grandmother, and extended family live in Arkansas; his brother lives in Colorado, and his sister lives in Texas. Although we live in different states, we are a very close family. We love to travel together and try to have monthly FaceTimes to see each other between visits.
Matthew is the older of two children and was raised by his mother and father. We are very close with his maternal grandmother. Aside from his parents, grandmother, and extended family that live in Alabama, his sister and her husband live in Florida. Matthew’s parents like to celebrate “special days,” or the days that the adoptions were finalized, each year.
Growing our family has always been one of our primary goals. As we discussed the different options that would lead to fatherhood, we looked back at Matthew’s history as an adopted child and decided adoption was the perfect choice. Adoption would give us the opportunity to give a child a loving home and family, just as it was given to Matthew. In addition, Matthew’s sister was adopted. We are more than happy to grow our blended family with unconditional love.
