Thank you for considering adoption and choosing to read our family profile!

We can’t imagine what you’re going through. However you got here, the fact that you’re considering adoption is a testament to you.

We have our own biological child and understand that putting him first is sometimes a hard thing to do. On the flip side, we’ve learned that in order to be the best parent, we need to take care of ourselves first. It’s a juggling act, but at the end of the day, every decision we make for our son and future child is to surround them with love, to protect, and to nourish.

Before getting married, we decided we wanted 2 children. We both grew up with a sibling and as we grow older, we understand how special those relationships are. We want the same for our children. To have the bond only siblings know. To be there for each other through the good and bad times throughout their lives. As Carlo was adopted, we’ve discussed the possibility of adopting a child since we met. We’ve always felt it would be part of our journey.

When Enzo was one year old, we discovered he suffers from an undiagnosed liver problem.
After years of monitoring and testing, he is growing into a healthy little boy and we’ve decided now’s the time to add a little one to our family! Unfortunately, the doctors believe Enzo’s condition is genetic, so they don’t recommend having another biological child. Which brings us here, to the adoption part of our journey.

We met 10 years ago on the west coast. Our first date was to casually grab drinks and while doing so, we talked for hours like we had known each other for years. After a couple of dates, we covered serious life decisions and found common ground very easily. We were ambitious and worked long hours during the week but always found time for each other. We enjoyed being active and hanging out with friends on weekends. We liked to explore new cuisine, museums and surrounding areas so we took weekend road trips often. We loved to bike to the local farmer’s market to grab fresh flowers and produce to cook on Sundays.

Two years after meeting we got engaged with the support of our families and friends. As we discussed the wedding and the future of our family, we decided to move to the south to be closer to our families. We knew we wanted children and wanted family close by. We both grew up with close family units and wanted the same for our growing family. We’ve been married six years and grow closer every day. After our wedding, we went on our honeymoon to the Polynesian Islands, but soon after we realized that our lives would significantly change with a child. So we decided to do an impromptu vacation to Italy because we knew that it would be difficult to travel internationally for some time.

Over the course of our 10 year relationship, we have come to love each other more than we ever thought. When our son was born, we didn’t know that our hearts could get any bigger.

We understand that this is a hard decision for you to make, but we know the importance of providing an environment in which children will thrive mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Children must feel loved every second of the day. We will care for every scraped knee, every heartache, and every practice test. They will have everything that matters and more. They will have a sibling-or partner in crime! They will have big strong house and a bedroom of their own. They will have the best education. They will have support of a large and loving family. They will have a Nana that does arts and crafts with them. They will have an Auntie that checks them out of school early just to take them to the zoo because the weather is nice. Should you bless us with this gift, you will have the comfort of knowing that your precious baby is thriving and loved.
