dear expectant mother

Your place in this story is so special to us, and we want you to know that if chosen, your child will grow up in a home that is filled with laughter, support, creativity, warmth, love, and spaces to have their feelings met with compassion and understanding.

We have been dreaming about having a family for so many years now, and it feels incredible to know we are within reach of that dream. Every vacation we take or sight we see grows our desire for children and to share this incredible world with them. We already have so many exciting plans for where we want to go and what we want to experience as a family.

Our lives are already filled with so much joy. We cannot wait to share that with a child and watch that joy grow in them as well. You already hold such a beautiful place in our story, and the love you are considering providing to our family is beyond words to us all. We appreciate you more than you know and appreciate you taking the time to consider us in this process.

We have been dreaming about having a family for so many years now, and it feels incredible to know we are within reach of that dream.

About Us

Hello! We are Matthew and Marco. We met in 2015 in San Diego and went on the world’s longest first date; we really didn’t want the night to end. We both knew pretty much immediately we were it for each other. We moved in together in Los Angeles, and it was there that we started our company together, bought our first home, got our first dog, and experienced years of family holidays and birthdays together. In 2022 we moved to Washington State and have loved every minute of it. We enjoy days spent out on our boat on Lake Union, playing tennis, and traveling the world. (We’ve now been to 23 countries together!) We love hosting family dinners in our backyard (which often includes lots of friends), decorating for Christmas, and visiting national parks across the country!

Our Home & Pets

We live in a home on five acres in a gated community. Our home has a home theater and a pickleball/basketball court in the backyard. Our golden retrievers, Dolly and June, love playing in the backyard and snuggling by the fireplace with us. There are five other homes in our community, and we all have dogs that love to play together. It’s a very peaceful and green area with great schools and is a very tight-knit community.

Our Extended Family

Marco has a younger sister and brother, and Matt has a younger sister. Our families are very close and spend holidays and trips together. Last Christmas our families all traveled together to France, Switzerland, and Ireland; it was so much fun. Matt’s mom and sister both work for our company, and Marco’s sister interned for us during her sophomore year of college. We are all very close and truly enjoy spending time together and seeing the world together.

Some of our favorite full-family excursions are taking the boat out for tubing, day-tripping up to Canada to see new waterfalls, and doing family pajama movie nights. Holidays usually include lots of food, laughing, cooking, and plenty of dogs. It’s the absolute best kind of chaos. We feel so lucky.

What Led Us To Adoption

We started talking about a desire to have a family early in our relationship. After our wedding, we researched the different ways for us to have a family and decided fairly quickly that adoption was the path for us. We think adoption is an incredible way to build a family. Marco’s mom was adopted, and we have learned how beautiful a family is when adoption is a part of the family tapestry.
