HELLO THERE!
WE ARE
MARK & NICOLE
FROM NEW YORK
We are so grateful to have this opportunity!
We are Nicole and Mark and it’s so great to meet you. It took a long time for the two of us to find each other but it was well worth the wait. We’ve been married since 2021. We make each other laugh constantly and we help bring out the best in one another. We truly love being together and our marriage has only gotten stronger and deeper over time. Our life has had many wonderful moments as well as unexpected challenges and we’ve learned to navigate through it all together. We always wanted children, and while we are not able to have any biologically, this has not diminished our desire to start a family. We have so much love to give and want to bring a child into our hearts and the wonderful life we have created.ABOUT MARK

Mark is a passionate and dedicated Physical Therapist. He also previously had a rewarding career working with teenagers as a Social Worker. He is warm and caring, playful and silly, healthy and full of energy. Mark is fun and loves to make people laugh, especially me! He enjoys being outside in nature and photographing the beauty around him. He enjoys eating healthy, exercising, salsa dancing and watching sports. Being a NY Mets fan has taught him patience, humility and perseverance.
There are so many experiences that he is excited to share with a child. I greatly admire Mark’s unselfish and loving nature. He has always been a provider and it is extremely important to him to make sure his family is safe and protected.I cannot wait to begin the journey of parenthood with him and I know he will be an incredible dad.

Nicole is one of the strongest people I have ever met and she inspires me every day. Whether it’s her commitment to educating children, her devotion to family and friends or her work as a theater director, Nicole is dedicated to her passions and to helping others find their own. She loves watching Sci-Fi TV, especially Star Trek and Doctor Who, and listening to music from generations past. We see many live theatre performances together and I always get a kick out of glancing over at her to see how much fun she is having in the seat next to me.
She is loving, affectionate, sweet, funny, loyal, honest, gentle and feisty, a great communicator, a fiercely dedicated daughter and someone who is respected and loved by so many amazing friends and colleagues from all walks of life. I could not be prouder to call her my wife. When I think about Nicole becoming a mother I feel so excited for the warm, caring and loving home she will create.
OUR PETS
MEET OUR DOG
We have an adorable and loving Bichon Poodle named Sheldon. We named him after a character in our favorite show to watch together, The Big Bang Theory. He loves other dogs and people, especially children. He is cuddly, smart, well-trained and loves to run in the park for hours. We adore him with all our heart and soul and we pour endless love on him. He truly is our baby and he will be an outstanding, protective and loving companion to our child.
OUR HOME & COMMUNITY
We live in a beautiful, safe and quaint family-oriented neighborhood in New York. There are so many families with children of all ages, countless dogs, great schools, several outstanding parks, museums, restaurants, food shopping, medical care, child care and transportation. We have so many friends, a thriving community and family members very close to us. We live in a home that has many young families and includes a children’s playroom and gym. Our apartment is spacious, clean and quiet. We love our home and get along very well with our neighbors. We could not be happier with the life we have created for ourselves and can’t wait to bring a child into it.
