We are so grateful to have this opportunity!

Hi, we’re Andrea and John from New York. We appreciate you taking the time to get to know us. We have always known that we wanted to expand our family and become parents, and while that journey has been full of twists and turns, we know in our hearts that this is the path that we were always meant to take. We believe that families are built through love and we have so much love to give! We also believe that every child deserves to know their unique story and we will ensure your child always knows theirs.

About John, by Andrea:

John is hands down one of the best people I know. We met when we were teenagers and it was clear from the beginning what a loving, loyal, and kind soul he is. The way John loves is an inspiration. He always shows up for his family and friends, no questions asked, and he is devoted to making the lives of his loved ones easier and less stressful. We have so many nieces, nephews, and young cousins in our family, and he has a special connection with all of them. Everyone knows to send their children’s activity schedule to John in the beginning of each season because he is going to try and make every game, match, or recital he can! His love is unconditional and his support is unwavering.

About Andrea, by John:

Andrea and I met when we were teenagers and for as long as I have known her, she has been the one to bring the positivity to any situation, even the difficult ones. She has the ability to see the good in everyone, and she is always the last to judge. One of the things I love most about her is her thoughtfulness, she is truly the most thoughtful and caring person I know. Every year, our police department puts on a Christmas Parade in our neighborhood, and every year there are new additions to the hot chocolate bar and new holiday crafts for the kids to make. For the little kids in our family it is magical, and for the teenagers, it has become something they have yet to grow out of.

OUR PETS

MEET OUR DOG

Our Gigi girl is the sweetest, coziest, most playful puppy in the world! Gigi loves her daily walks and loves seeing what all of our neighbors are up to! She loves to play fetch and tug of war with her toys, but is just as happy to curl up on your lap and watch TV. Gigi has been around children and babies since she was a puppy and she is always so gentle when playing with the little ones in our family.

Gigi loves walking around our neighborhood

OUR HOME & COMMUNITY

We live in a quiet suburban neighborhood and are only 15 minutes away from downtown which has wonderful museums and theaters! Both of our parents are close by with Andrea’s mother 5 minutes away and John’s parents 15 minutes away. We live in the home that once belonged to Andrea’s grandmother and we have been updating it and making it our own over the last couple of years. We love to host parties and get togethers. Our outdoor movie nights in the summer, Halloween party in the fall, and our neighborhood Christmas Parade in the winter have become family traditions that everyone looks forward to.

THANK YOU

FOR CONSIDERING US

Our wedding day
Thank you so much for your consideration. We hope that through this snapshot of our lives, you can see the love we have for each other and the love we are surrounded with through family and friends. Our goal is to not only provide the adventure, whimsy, and magic that every child deserves, but to also provide the unconditional and unwavering love and support that is needed to get through life’s tough moments. We feel so incredibly lucky to have a strong support system within each other and through our family. It has enabled us to fully rejoice in the amazing moments life has to offer, and it also gives us the strength and resilience needed to keep moving forward in times of struggle. We would love nothing more than to share the support system that we are so lucky to have. To have weekends filled with chaotic cousin playdates, family movie nights with too much popcorn and candy, game nights that have you laughing so hard you cry! Lazy Saturdays and big family dinners on Sundays. Running around to every practice, game, recital, or art show. This is how we grew up and it is what we hope to give to your child. We will never know what this feels like for you right now, but please know that with us, your child will always know their story and where they come from. Everyone deserves that. Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts, for taking the time to learn more about us.

John and Andrea
