Hello!

We thank you for considering us as adoptive parents for your baby. We hope that as you make this difficult but selfless decision for your baby’s future, you will find comfort and peace knowing that your child would be loved and cherished by us. We understand how important it is for you to be able to picture your child’s future and hope that this letter will give you insight into our family and the life that we dream of providing for your baby. Nothing would make us happier than to welcome your child into our life and home. Our arms are open and ready to give your baby hugs, love and a stable, safe, secure and happy life. We appreciate this opportunity to tell you about ourselves and our dream of becoming parents through adoption.

Our beginnings...

We met when Tony relocated from the Philadelphia area as a part of his job. The following month, Tabbi moved back to the area where she had grown up, but had spent many years away from while completing graduate school and postdoctoral training. We ended up becoming neighbors, and started dating a few months later. We were attracted to each other’s sense of humor and our common values of a strong faith and a love for our families drew us together. We felt as though we were destined to be together since many things had to come together at just the right time for us to even meet. We were married three years later on the most gorgeous October day surrounded by our family and friends. It was truly the most beautiful day of our lives. We consider ourselves fortunate that our parents were able to get to know our respective spouse, and share in our happiness as we began our new life together. Although we have very different personality traits we find that they complement each other well and we continue to grow our strong and healthy marriage. Our bond is strengthened each day by having great communication and a deep respect for each other. We see ourselves as a team that shares in our marriage and home responsibilities, eagerly anticipating sharing the most wonderful responsibility of raising a child together.


Our road to adoption...

We always knew we wanted children and began our attempts to start a family early in our marriage. Several years later with our desire to have a family just as strong as ever, we realized adoption was the path meant for us to create our family. The decision to begin the adoption process was an easy one for both of us. We feel blessed to be able to build our family through adoption, are so excited for the day when we welcome our child into our lives and finally become parents. Our dreams are to fill our child’s life with love, support, encouragement and happy memories. Education is extremely important to us as well, and we will dedicate ourselves to providing our child with encouragement and opportunities to fulfill their life passions.

About Tabbi...

Tony’s thoughts about Tabbi…
Tabbi is a sweet, loving person who has a combination of many good qualities, but the ones that are most important to me are her family values, her loving kindness and tenderness. She is also intelligent and wise. I love how fun she is and we share the same silly sense of humor. She is very sensitive to other people’s feelings and always knows how to make people feel special---whether in words or actions. I can’t wait for us to be parents! I know Tabbi will be a wonderful mom, and will shower our child with love and attention. I was amazed at how quickly Tabbi developed close relationships with my nieces and nephews; how they took to her and loved her. We always have a great time with them—going to the water park, spending a day boating at the lake or just hanging out. When she is with the kids, I love to watch how happy it makes her, and it makes me sure that she was always meant to be a mom.



Tabbi…
I have a doctorate in Molecular Biology and am the Director of Research and teach at a mid-sized private university. My job is very fulfilling, and I enjoy the interaction with faculty, staff and students. I feel very fortunate to be employed by an institution that values family and encourages a healthy balance between work and family life. Tony and I both place a great deal of importance in a good education. Because of my job, we are also blessed with the option of a tuition-free private college education for our child. While I’m very proud of the work that I have accomplished in my life, being a Mom will complete my life’s dream and will be the most important role I will ever have. I had a wonderful childhood and hope to build the same type of warm happy family memories for my child. My sister is older than me and has two grown children. I’ve loved being an aunt and watching their family has strengthened my desire to be a mom. My job can be technical and serious, but I consider myself to be a funloving and enthusiastic person and can’t wait to share my love of life and laughter with my child.


About Tony...

Tabbi’s thoughts about Tony…
Tony and I are truly soul mates and best friends. The first thing I loved about Tony was his great sense of humor-- he can always make me laugh. Tony is a sweet, caring, fun-loving person who has the ability to sit and talk for long periods with anyone. It doesn’t matter if he has known them for 20 years or 20 minutes, they are immediately like an old friend. He is easy-going and loves being around people, especially his family and close friends. He has such close relationships with his nieces and nephews, and they really enjoy spending time with him. He is going to be a great Dad—very involved, fun and excited to watch our child grow and learn.


Tony…
I am employed by a large national healthcare provider and work out of our home, which allows me a great deal of flexibility in my schedule. I am so grateful that this provides me with the opportunity to be an involved Dad and I am excited to share in all of the special moments of childhood with my son or daughter. The everyday moments of being fully present in my child’s life are important to me also, and things like being home when our child gets off the school bus is something that I look forward to. As our child grows, Tabbi and I are both looking forward to participating in school activities and appreciate that both of our jobs allow us the flexibility to give our child lots of support and encouragement in academics and other interests. I played a lot of sports growing up and now am an instructor with a brown belt in Jiu Jitsu. I will help my child find his or her own interests, but do look forward to introducing the structure and control of martial arts.

Our home...

We have been fortunate to be able to create a comfortable and peaceful home in a quiet neighborhood. Finding the perfect house for us to raise a child was our priority when we bought our house about two years ago. We just had the basement finished with a large playroom ready to be filled with toys and able to provide years of fun times. Our large fenced-in yard is perfect for a swing set, badminton net, and playing ball. We like to go for walks, and our area has several great parks. We can’t wait to be able to add a stroller to those walks! Until now, our love and devotion has fallen primarily on Gracie, our 4 year old Shih Tzu, who is incredibly sweet and loving and is the happiest when she is around people. Although we have made efforts to help Gracie become a well behaved and socialized pet, she is naturally drawn to kids and loves being with them. We often find her sitting at the window or on the deck watching the neighborhood children play. She has the best time when we visit our nieces and nephews, and plays with the kids like she is one of the gang. Gracie is also very gentle with Tony’s young Godson. She enjoys walks, playing with her toys, and being chased around the yard, but she is also happy curled up next to us on the couch and we can imagine what a wonderful playmate she will be.

Fun times...

One of the things we enjoy to do together is travel. We love taking vacations and also enjoy long weekend getaways. Two of our favorite places to visit are Ocean City, MD and Myrtle Beach, SC. We recently traveled to Riviera Maya, Mexico and stayed at a beautiful, family-friendly resort. We had a ball watching the children play in the wave pool and in ocean waves. We cannot wait to have the opportunity to visit these places with a child and see the areas we travel to through his or her eyes. We both love the water and enjoy going to beaches or boating on a lake. We enjoy amusement and water parks too, and are very fortunate to have a new water park just a few minutes from our home. We also love just being together at home – watching a movie or working together in the yard or enjoying time with family and friends

Families & friends...

Our child will certainly not lack for family with all the cousins, aunts and uncles in the family. Thankfully, in addition to us traveling to visit our families, they often visit with us as well. In addition to Tabbi’s sister and two nieces, Tony is the youngest of five boys and has four eight nieces and nephews and one great nephew, Owen. Tony is so honored and proud to be Owen’s Godfather. The grandchildren are all very close, and often the family gathers at their grandparents’ home. Tony’s parents are so excited for another grandchild to love and adore. Our circle of family, friends and church community is strong, supportive and looking forward to welcoming our child and being a loving foundation in his or her life. We are so blessed with many friends who cannot wait to celebrate the arrival of a child into our lives.

Several of our close friends and coworkers have also adopted and have provided us with great support and encouragement. Tabbi’s two best friends cannot wait to be ‘aunts’ to a new addition to the family, and Tony’s friends cannot wait for him to be a Dad; they are great role models for him to follow—very involved, active fathers who are crazy about their kids. One of Tabbi’s friends from work has twins, and she and Tabbi cannot wait to share baby stories with each other, and see their children become friends as well.
