Angela and Matt

As soon as we met in college, we knew that we had a strong bond and were meant to be together. After dating for five years, we were married on a beautiful June day in 2005. We are each others confidants, cheerleaders, and best friends. Kyle came into our lives through open adoption in 2010. It was the most amazing experience that we have ever had and one that we look forward sharing with him as he grows up. When we have another child, we can only imagine how life would be! We envision the two swinging in the backyard on their swing set throughout the summer, playing tag with the neighborhood kids or spending the day picking apples in the fall at one of our local farms.

We have a warm, supportive family and we get together regularly to share family dinners, celebrations and holidays. Christmas's are filled with huge traditions for our family. We are always excited to share our Christmas with Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Scott and enjoy a long day of eating of our traditional 5 course meal. Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Scott have recently moved to our area from Rhode Island so they can be near our family not only for times of celebration but to be a bigger part of our every day family life. They can not wait to spoil the kids by taking them out for ice cream, visiting the train museum or having sleepovers. Nanny and Pop-Pop love visiting us from Florida and are always thrilled to spend time with grandchildren by the pool or snuggling during a movie. Our children will get to enjoy regular visits with their cousins in Pennsylvania and California as well. It is a special moment for us when we watch Kyle running around playing hide and seek in the backyard with his cousins and we know that they he will need another teammate on his side.

Our careers have also shaped our lives. Matt has a Master’s Degree in physical therapy and enjoys his job as the director of physical therapy for an orthopedic surgeon. He is challenged daily to rehabilitate his patients so they can return to their daily activities. Angela has her Bachelor’s Degree in occupational therapy and has obtained her Master’s Degree in special education. Angela treasures her job as a school-based occupational therapist. She gets a thrill from seeing her students who have special needs grow and develop their skills so they become more independent in both their school and home environments. Both of us feel education will be a strong background in our children's life and we plan to help them learn in and out of the classroom.

We have so many things we do as a family but we are missing one thing, the sound of laughter from another child in the house. It will be an amazing experience for us as parents to watch Kyle and his little sister or brother forming a relationship that only siblings have.

We hope one day to expand our family through open adoption and be able to create more memories with another son or daughter.

We thank you for looking at our family and considering an adoption plan.
