Hello!
We believe there are no mistakes in life, but instead that everything happens for a reason, and according to God’s plan. That is why we are certain that the difficult but selfless choice you have made to choose an adoption plan for your baby is not by chance. We thank you for considering us as you make this most important decision, and we hope that you will find what you are looking for in us. 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 home. We appreciate this opportunity to tell you about ourselves and our dream of creating our family 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. Many things had to come together at just the right time for us to even meet each other. God certainly had plans for us! We were married three years later on the most gorgeous October day – it was 72° and sunny! It was truly the most beautiful day of our lives. We were surrounded by our parents, family and friends. Everyone had a wonderful time, and we were happy sharing our special day with our loved ones. We consider ourselves fortunate that all of our parents were able to get to know our respective spouse, and share in our happiness as we began our new life together.
Why we want to adopt…
We always knew we wanted a family. Four years into our marriage, we found ourselves resigned to the fact that we would not have a biological child, but the desire to have a family was just as strong as ever. The decision to begin the adoption process was an easy one for both of us. Making that decision gave us renewed hope, and we trust that God will bring to us the child we are meant to raise. We feel blessed to be able to build our family through adoption, and we know we could not have loved a biological child any more than we will love an adopted child. Our goal is to fill our child’s life with love, support, encouragement and happy memories. Education is extremely important to us as well, and we will provide our child with all the opportunities we have available to us.
Tabbi…
Tabbi has a doctorate in Molecular Biology and works and teaches at a mid-sized private Catholic university. Her job is very fulfilling, and she enjoys the interaction with faculty, staff and students. She is very fortunate to be employed by an institution that values family and encourages a healthy balance between work and family life.
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 she developed close relationships with my nieces and nephews, and 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.
Tony…
Tony is employed by a large national healthcare provider and works out of our home, which allows him a great deal of flexibility in his work schedule. We both have jobs that are flexible enough to allow us to attend parent-teacher conferences and other school programs during the day, which we can’t wait to do! We are also relieved that Tony would be at home to meet our child when he or she gets off the school bus.
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. We 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. He is going to be a great dad – very involved, fun, and excited to watch our child grow and learn. Tony is very active and has a brown belt in Jiu Jitsu. He is an instructor as well, and cannot wait to teach a child about structured, controlled self-defense. He has such close relationships with his nieces and nephews, and they really enjoy spending time with him.
Our home…
We moved into our house about 2 years ago. It’s a 3 bedroom/2 and 2 half bath, two-story home in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. We have just had our basement finished, and cannot wait to enjoy the new family room, office and exercise area. We also have a large fenced-in yard. It’s perfect for a swing set, badminton net, or for playing ball. We have been fortunate to be able to create a comfortable and peaceful home in a quiet neighborhood. We like to go for walks, and our area has several attractive, safe and pet-friendly parks. We can’t wait to be able to add a stroller to those walks!
We share our home with Gracie, our 2½ year old Shih Tzu. She is incredibly sweet and loving, and is happiest when she is around people and other dogs. She has gone to doggie daycare since she was a few months old, so she is very well socialized and behaved. She loves kids! 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 she plays with the kids like she is one of the gang. She 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 napping or chewing on a bone.
Our fun times…
One of the things we love to do is travel, both in and out of the country. We both love the water and enjoy going to beaches or boating on a lake. 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 – to see the areas we travel to through his or her eyes. 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 at home – watching a movie or working together in the yard.
Our families & friends…
Tabbi is the youngest of two girls, and was incredibly blessed with close relationships with her parents (who sadly are both deceased) and also her two nieces, now 18 and 22. Tony is the youngest of five boys. Tony's parents have eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild. They cannot wait to add another grandchild to that list. The grandchildren are all very close, and often the family gathers at their grandparents' home. The kids were thrilled when the first great-grandchild came along almost two years ago (Tony is Owen’s Godfather). Your 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.
We are also blessed with many friends who cannot wait to celebrate the arrival of a child into our lives. Several of our close friends and co-workers have also adopted (domestic and international) 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 is pregnant with twins, and she and Tabbi cannot wait to share baby stories with each other, and see their children become friends as well.
Our faith…
We are very fortunate to share the same faith. Tabbi is a member of the choir in our church and also has the opportunity to lead worship when our pastor is out of town – something she loves to do. Tony serves as a Deacon and is part of the Grass Roots group that maintains the lawn and church surroundings. We are part of a loving and supportive church family, and several of them have grown their families through adoption. Our church has an active Sunday School program and a lot of great kids who serve as positive examples of how to live a Christian life. We believe that raising children in a faith tradition, and encouraging them to develop a relationship with God and to do God’s work as a way of living, is a gift by which to cultivate a good life. Of course, we will also be supportive of the spiritual journey our child chooses as an adult.
Parenting & open adoption…
We promise to cherish your child and provide him or her with a happy life. We will give your child every opportunity to pursue his or her interests, emphasizing the importance of education and community service. We will foster his or her self-confidence and compassion for others. Most importantly, we will love your child with all our hearts. We both place a great deal of importance in a good education, and intend to send our child to private schools. Because of Tabbi’s job, we are also blessed with the benefit of a tuition-free private college education for our child.
Please know that we will raise our child to honor his or her birthfamily and to understand their generosity, sacrifice and love. If you choose, we will send you regular updates and photos so you will know how your child is growing and thriving. We would also be open to getting together occasionally for you to see your child, if that is your desire. We will respect whatever decision you make concerning how open or closed you prefer your adoption plan to be, now and in the future.
Thank you!

We care deeply about your feelings, and would love
the opportunity to meet or talk with you to learn
about what you envision for you and your child’s
future. We send you our prayers as you make th
is adoption journey.
