HELLO THERE!
WE ARE
MATT & TRACI
FROM NEW YORK
We are so grateful to have this opportunity!
We have been together for fifteen years, married for ten. During this time we have loved, grown, and experienced so much together, yet there is a very tangible hole in our hearts that is meant to be filled with a child. We want to nurture them and watch them grow, guiding them the best we can along the way. We want to share our love, our beliefs, our knowledge and our passions with them while being a stable and loving pillar of support for them as they discover their own sense of self and understanding in this world.

About Matt, written by Traci:
Matt is a gentle person with a kind heart and strong sense of right and wrong. He has a great mind for trivia, especially about his two passions – sports and movies. He loves for me to ask him trivia questions anytime we have downtime and gets nearly all of them right. He also has amazing recall concerning important days with his loved ones. He can tell me what I was wearing on our first date or what movies we saw together in theaters long after I’ve forgotten. It’s this attention to detail that highlights how deeply he loves and holds dear the important people in his life. Matt wants nothing more than to share all of his passions and time with a child.

THANK YOU
FOR CONSIDERING US
Traci’s immediate family all live on the island so we see them quite often. Traci’s mom coordinates regular family game nights and gatherings. Traci is especially close with her younger sister who lives nearby. We love having our nephews over to play in the backyard or local park or indoors building Legos.
While Matt’s immediate family lives in Virginia, they still maintain a close relationship through phone calls and visits whenever possible. Matt is very close with his dad and they talk on the phone everyday. Our niece and nephew love having video calls to say hi to Uncle Matt and tell us excitedly about their day.
We belong to a wonderful church, led by one of the nicest people we know. He helps us grow in our faith and leads by example in showing kindness and concern to everyone he encounters. The staff follow in his footsteps and foster a wonderful and safe environment for children to learn and grow. Our church will play an important role reinforcing the values we aim to raise our child with – compassion, kindness, forgiveness and love. If you decide to place your child with us, we promise you they will be cherished. Everything we do, we will do with them at the forefront of our heart and mind.
Matt and Traci
