We desperately want to become parents at this stage of our life because it has been our dream since we found each other late in life and married in 2011.

We have been trying every way possible since 2011, and as adoptive parents since 2020. Love is ageless, and we have tons of love to give & life lessons to hand down. We have all the love, knowledge & solid heritage needed to succeed in raising a beautiful child into a beautiful & good person who succeeds in society.

Plus we still look & feel young and hot so now’s the perfect time to have the most impact on our future child’s success in life! We are so in love and are just painfully missing our future child for so long.

We look forward to the tiny things every day which we will contribute to our future child’s emotional, spiritual and social growth and development.

We originally met in 2007, through a mutual acquaintance, who is still an important part of our daily life.

While we were dating, we enjoyed traveling up and down the California coast enjoying great food and visiting various beaches. After a magical trip to Cabo, we planned a trip to New Orleans for Matthew’s birthday to watch our favorite LA basketball team play live. It was such an amazing trip that Matthew was inspired to pop the question one night at a crowded Jazz club and, despite it being the middle of the night, called Jennifer’s mother for permission right in the moment!

We are both creative and intellectual, with a love of beautiful things in nature and designs. We also both enjoy science and art, travel and learning, action, suspense and animated movies, many types of music, beaches, driving, day-trips, high-end car shows, smart and beautiful architecture, interior décor and landscaping, flowers, trees, countryside, mountain views, ocean views, and great museums.

We love traveling and have been to Nevada, Arizona, Mexico, Chicago, New York, Canada and Prague together several times so far. We also hope to visit Disneyland, Russia, Spain, Greece, Italy, Jamaica, Bahamas, and many other places in the USA & Europe with our future child. We want them to be open to all kinds of people and ideas, so they will be able to excel in many areas of life.

Jennifer is a warm, nurturing, kind and loving person who has desired since a very young age to be married and have a family. She is looking forward to the lifelong commitment of being a parent.

She was raised by her mother and grandparents. Her mother taught her to enjoy museums, art, ballet and opera and worked for a major airline for over 35 years. The two of them were able to travel all around the world learning about various ways of life and visiting famous locations while she was growing up. Jennifer still loves flying and has been to places like Norway, Copenhagen, Hawaii, Holland, Czechoslovakia, Spain, Bahamas, Barbados, Nassau, Canada, among other places.

She was born in Mexico where her parents had met and lived. Her mother then moved her to New York at about 2 years old where she grew up. Eventually Jennifer took up working in luxury goods to afford acting classes from High School through college and then moved to Los Angeles for film school. She has since then always kept one foot in television and film and one foot in luxury goods and design.

She loves high-end fashion, and even designs clothes and accessories in her spare time. She calls herself a nerd because she loves to watch and discuss science shows — learning about the universe and technology as well as the latest in AI development. She is currently working on acquiring her real estate license, so she can work from home.

I know Jennifer will be a great mother because of her undying love, selflessness, compassion and deep understanding of what it truly takes to mother a child.

Matthew is a sensitive and caring man. He is looking forward to raising a healthy and well-adjusted child. Fortunately, we share a similar point of view on many things and balance each other out wherever we have natural differences.

Matthew was born in Brooklyn, NY, but grew up and attended school in both NY and CA. He played football in high school and continues to love watching and discussing sports. Along with sports we both love music and enjoy attending concerts. We look forward to bringing our future child to Lakers games, Dodger games and concerts when they are old enough.

He is considered an expert in his field, and has a passion for math and any type of technology. Funny, smart and, intuitive, Matthew enjoys creating special moments for me and Max - little surprises and daily reinforcement to show his love for us (like a spontaneous drive along the coast to catch the sunset when he comes home from work). He is also artistic and even enjoys working on home decoration with me anytime we need a change.

I have known for quite a long time now that Matthew will be a wonderful father for many reasons, including his loyalty, warmth and loving demeanor as a husband. He has also been so devoted to making mine and our dog Max’s life fun with him.

Matthew has always been deeply committed to making plans together for our future family, Every step of the way on our journey.

We live in cozy area close to Matthew’s work, and enjoy it here because of the nice mixture of locals and visitors which keep the atmosphere interesting.

Many people have dogs like we do, so there is a relaxed feeling of community while still being close to city life. The area is fairly close to the beach which is an important factor for us.

The three of us can be found running around doing errands or relaxing and watching the sunset at the beach a couple of times a week in the spring, summer and fall months. In the winter we tend to do extra cuddling and movie watching at home and fall asleep earlier from all the coziness.

Our home is filled with love and creativity. We enjoy changing things up every so often to keep our house fun and interesting. We like to create our own family traditions for holidays, but also make sure to get together with our extended family and friends.

We rescued our puppy Max through a foundation called Henry’s Hope. We adopted him after only a week of fostering him because we instantly fell in love!

He is super sweet and loving. He likes hugs and cuddles and being pet all day if possible. He also enjoys watching Jennifer cook in hopes that he will get a special treat.

He loves to play with people, loves children, and even seems intrigued by their little voices. He is extra gentle around kids. One of his favorite activities, aside from getting attention, is to run around and dig in the sand at the beach with us.

Jennifer is an only child, but has close friends who are like sisters to her. Her mother is retired from the airline industry and lives about an hour east of us. She keeps busy with many hobbies, friends and travel. Jennifer and Matthew visit her several times a year, but this will definitely be more often once she becomes a grandmother! Matthew's father lives about an hour south of us. We see him approximately every other Sunday. Matthew has an older brother with two children, who lives about 3 hours south of us. We see them about every other month at Matthew’s father’s home. His youngest aunt on his mother’s side adopted both her children. They are grown up now; one in the medical field and one is a brilliant scientist.

We are so glad you took the time to read a little bit about us. We hope you feel comfortable knowing we are planning a beautiful future for your baby.
