Meet Future Big Brother Matthew: When we look back and think about how Matthew came into our lives through adoption, we just can’t believe how lucky we are. We constantly marvel at him and the boy is he becoming. Matthew is just the sweetest and kindest little guy, with a great sense of humor and big personality. The in-home daycare Matthew attends has provided him the opportunity to be with little babies and he is taken by them, which confirms our belief that he will be a terrific big brother.
Matthew has brought such love to our life that we didn’t know could exist. He lights up our life and every day our love grows for him—if that is possible. We were always eager to have a family, but, after having Matthew for these past 4 ½ years, we are that much more eager to have another child.
Our Relationship with Matthew’s Birth mother, KateLynn: From the first phone call with KateLynn in 2015, we have kept all the updates we shared with her that we will one-day share with Matthew when he is old enough. We want him to know that KateLynn chose adoption, and chose us, out of the love she had for him. Until we met Matthew’s birth mother, we did not know the deep love, respect and admiration we would feel for her. We are so thankful for her. I’ve tried many times and have fallen short of explaining to someone how I feel about KateLynn, about the woman who gave my family the one thing that I could not. Should you choose us as your child’s adoptive parents, we will respect your wishes for post placement contact, but please know you will always be the most special person to us.
Our Home & Community: Our home is a warm, spacious, four bedroom colonial in Maryland. There is plenty of space for a growing family. The back yard has plenty of wide open space to run and play, and backs up to a pasture of a horse farm. We love living in our neighborhood as it is very peaceful, quiet and safe with many families with young kids.
We share our home with our loving, gentle natured and friendly Bengal cat, Montana. Montana loves to talk, play and be part of the family.
Parenting & Education: We are ready and prepared to provide a nurturing home filled with endless amounts of love, support, guidance and opportunity. We will raise our children with Christian values and we will promote respect for all people. We have already started college savings funds and will provide for a college education and other opportunities as well.
We do our best to introduce Matthew to new adventures – swim lessons, t-ball, soccer, taekwondo, etc. We also enjoy simple things like going to the park, walking around the neighborhood, visiting family and friends, going to local attractions (ball games, pool, zoo, aquarium, county and state fairs) and sometimes just sitting at home and hanging out.
We, as a family, would love the opportunity to share these experiences, and more importantly, all of the unconditional love that we have, with your child.
