We believe that "everything happens for a reason and that everything is meant to be." It will be meant to be that a child is born and that we will be chosen to nurture him or her and develop together as a family. It will be meant to be if you choose us to raise your baby and as the birth mother you will be fulfilling your child's destiny by bringing us together and creating a family.

We are high school sweethearts. We have known each other through our circle of friends since junior high, we started dating during our senior year of high school. We have been together for over fourteen years now and we have been married for over seven years.

Jen was attracted to Tony by his wonderful easy-going personality. Tony is strong, responsible and always has a good perspective on things. Tony comes from a large family that embraced Jen early in our relationship and has been a big part of our lives. He has been there every step of the way helping Jen succeed. At the same time, having fun is very important and prevalent in his family. He keeps Jen laughing and always enjoying life. Tony has especially helped and supported Jen throughout her college years and during the time when Jen founded her graphic design business.

Tony was attracted by Jen's beauty and her unique personality. Jen is smart and has a quality of character that is hard to find. Our relationship has been successful because we are good people who care about each other and are always willing to put the effort in to make our relationship better.

"It takes a village" is a saying that frequently comes to mind when we think of our extended family. We bought our home on Halloween night and excitingly invited our families to have Thanksgiving dinner in our new home. The first few weeks the entire family helped us tear up all the rugs, paint the entire interior and even bust through some walls. A month later when Thanksgiving had arrived, the house had blossomed into a beautiful clean slate, but didn't quite feel like a home. We hadn't gotten much sleep during the month and the stress of the holiday was starting to set in. We were still weeks away from unpacking the mountain of boxes.

The night before Jen went to the store and when she arrived back home, it was like an army of family arrived to create the warmth our home desired. Tony's sister and Jen's brother hung white twinkly lights around the windows. Our family brought in plants and pictures from their own home to hang on our walls. And everyone pitched in with the cleaning for the big day. Although we had offered to prepare the meal, each person volunteered and brought a dish to the table on Thanksgiving Day. It was an amazing transformation all in a matter of hours - we had a lot to be thankful for.

Camping with Tony’s Brother, His Wife and Kids

Almost every year we go camping in the Pocono Mountains; we often go with our extended family. This past year was particularly memorable because it was the first camping trip for our niece and nephew. We were worried that the kids might be afraid to sleep in the tent at night, but after we spent each day exploring the woods and lake, fishing, canoeing and cooking our meals, they were volunteering to go to bed early!

It rained most of the trip, but that didn't dampen our spirits. The kids enjoyed playing in the mud and searching for frogs. At one point, over a dozen wild turkeys paraded through our campsite. It was really amazing to see so many at once. Our nephew even got to try out his turkey call which he had been practicing.
