The most important priority in our life is spending time with our family and friends. Living just a car ride away from our immediate relatives, we dedicate many weekends to creating unforgettable memories with them, particularly with our beloved nieces and nephews.

Our commitment to health and wellness is evident in our active lifestyles. Anthony is a lifetime member of the local YMCA, while Nina enjoys attending yoga and dance classes at neighborhood studios. Together, we relish in daily family walks with Brody, our faithful companion, either through our neighborhood or along scenic trails.

Fueling our sense of adventure, we delight in exploring the vibrant cities and diverse communities around us with our friends. As avid supporters of local businesses, we frequent neighborhood restaurants and establishments, immersing ourselves in the unique flavors and cultures they offer.

Sports enthusiasts at heart, we eagerly attend sporting events throughout the year, cheering on our favorite teams regardless of the weather. No matter the sport, we love healthy competition and the extra dimension of excitement it adds to our lives. We can't wait to share our wonderful lifestyle with our child.

Nina About Anthony: Introduced by a coworker, I instantly knew he was the one. Anthony is not just a husband; he's a beacon of love and kindness in my life. Every day, he showers us with acts of service, demonstrating his caring and thoughtful nature. In times of trouble, he's our unwavering rock of support and calmness. Our journey to expand our family has been filled with hope and anticipation, and I know Anthony will be an incredible father. His natural gift for teaching shines through as he patiently guides the children in our lives, whether it's teaching them a new game or how to shoot a basketball. With Anthony by my side, I am certain that our future is bright and full of love.

Anthony About Nina: When I met Nina, my wife, I knew that I had found my life partner. I was drawn to her unique blend of quirkiness, optimism and tenacity. She infuses situations with a playful energy, seeing the bright side even in the darkest of times. She's not only loyal and supportive towards me but also towards everyone around her. I could not picture anyone better suited to motherhood. As the eldest of five siblings, Nina has spent her entire life nurturing those around her. She effortlessly balances being goal-oriented with bringing joy and creativity into our lives. She is the embodiment of all that is beautiful and inspiring in this world, and it is my greatest dream for us to be able to share that with a child.

For years, we've dreamed of becoming parents. Welcoming a child into our family would bring so much happiness into our lives. This joy would not only be shared by us and Brody, but also with our family and friends. Our excitement is immeasurable. As a family, we plan to provide a life of love, support, and encouragement, to our future child. Surrounding this child with a strong support system, embodies the essence of parenthood to us. We want nothing more than to be able to share our lives with a child. We cannot wait to bestow our family traditions and in partake in hobbies with a new generation and create new traditions of our own. We know there will be good and bad days, but are ready for the challenge. We are eager to share our wisdom with a child, guiding and supporting them through life's lessons. As we start this amazing journey of parenthood, we are ready to learn and grow as a family.

Our cozy neighborhood, nestled in a small, yet diverse, suburb in Delaware, offers the perfect blend of comfort and adventure. Situated in the heart of the Northeast, just 30 minutes from Philadelphia, we're ideally located for exploration. Within two to three hours in any direction, excitement awaits – whether it's the bustling streets of New York City, the historical landmarks of Washington, D.C., the tranquil beauty of the Pocono Mountains, or the sandy shores of Delaware and New Jersey beaches.

Our beautiful home is part of a tight-knit community, bustling with children and loveable pets. Just three blocks away, there is a big park with swings, baseball fields, and basketball courts, providing endless opportunities for outdoor fun. Neighborhood pools are just a car ride away. There are plenty of nearby schools that ensure convenience and accessibility.

Throughout the year, our neighborhood comes alive with events and activities. From holiday parades featuring Santa Claus on a fire truck, to Halloween contests for the best decorated house and costume, there's always something to look forward to. We're also lucky to be just 10 minutes from a riverwalk, offering stunning skyline views and recreational activities like cornhole, mini-golf, and delicious ice cream treats. We love to frequent our local restaurants, especially our local coffee shop, where everyone knows our name and coffee order by heart.

In our little corner of Delaware, every day is filled with the warmth of community and the excitement of new adventures just waiting to be explored.

We love sharing countless moments of joy and building memories with our extended family. From birthdays to weekly Sunday gatherings, every occasion is an opportunity for celebration.

In the mountains with Anthony's family, we spend time outdoors walking in the woods or lake with Brody and the other furry cousins. Anthony, his brother, and father bond over their shared passion for cars- from classic automobiles to the latest trends. The kitchen is the hub of activity for family conversation and laughter. We share family stories, prepare, and savor delicious Italian and Polish dishes, from Golabki to homemade sauce and Ricotta cookies.

On Nina's side, the focus is on fun and games from Scrabble to baseball. We love to express ourselves creatively. Our time together is filled with song and dance, whether we're belting out tunes and/or choreographing a dance to a variety of music from Disney classics to the Spice Girls. We love to be outdoors, around the fire and roasting marshmallows.

We also enjoy time with our friends. Backyard gatherings are a staple, complete with grilling sessions and game-watching with the kids and our pets. Some of our favorite traditions are New Year 's Eve themed costume parties and Super Bowl bashes, where we celebrate and do karaoke.

As we embark on our adoption journey, our loved ones feel the same excitement. They eagerly await the newest addition to our family, ready to welcome our child into our loving community.

Our journey together began 7.5 years ago when we were introduced by a mutual friend. From the moment we met, we knew there was something special between us. We share a bond filled with love, laughter, and unwavering support.

Our desire to start a family was evident early on, and we eagerly embarked on that venture. Our family grew with the addition of our beloved dog, Brody, three years into our relationship. Brody brought immeasurable joy and warmth into our home, reinforcing our longing to expand our family even further. Our family grew so much that we knew we wanted to share that love with a child.

Despite our continued attempts to conceive naturally and through assisted reproductive technologies like IVF and egg donation, we encountered challenges on our path to parenthood. Though these experiences were difficult and were unsuccessful, we knew our plan to become parents was not over. After taking time to heal and reflect, we began to research adoption. While talking with other parents who had chosen adoption, it led us to the realization that adoption was the right path for us.

We are filled with excitement and anticipation at the thought of welcoming a child into our lives. Our home, nestled in a peaceful suburban neighborhood, is brimming with love and ready to embrace the pitter-patter of little feet. With many parks and trails near by, we can't wait to explore and play daily as a family. Nina has transitioned to a remote role and Anthony creates his own schedule, allowing us the flexibility to be present for every milestone and moment of our child's life.

Our extended family shares in our excitement and eagerly awaits the arrival of a new member. We are a short car drive away from our immediate family and closest friends. Weekend trips, yummy barbecues and fun celebrations will be a regular occurrence in our child's life. Aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and doting grandparents are all prepared to shower this child with love and support, creating a network of care and affection that extends far beyond our immediate household.

We understand that considering adoption is a deeply personal and challenging decision, and we want to commend you for your strength and admire you for your courage. Your selflessness in choosing what is best for your child speaks volumes about the love you have for them. We want you to know that if you choose us, this child will be surrounded by love, stability, and endless opportunities to thrive. We will share their growth and journey with you through consistent communication- pictures, emails, phone calls and visits. It is our commitment to be open and honest with them throughout the adoption process about you, your bravery and love.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We are humbled by the opportunity to open our hearts and our home to a child. We are excited and honored to embark on this journey of parenthood together. Please know that you are in our thoughts, and we send you love and kindness as you navigate this important decision.

Anthony & Nina
