Hi there! We are Jonathan & Lee from beautiful Brentwood in Los Angeles, California. Thank you for considering us as prospective parents of your child and for taking the time to get to know us better! Truly. We know so much can go into your decision making process. We are grateful for your consideration and we hope you find us to be what you're looking for when deciding who should continue to raise your child. We want your child to have an amazing life filled with love and opportunity! We want to open as many doors as possible for them, while allowing them to walk through on their own and embrace who they are to the maximum potential. The sky is the limit!

We always knew we wanted to be parents! We’ve traveled, own our home in a beautiful neighborhood, enjoy our dogs, and have built a great life in our ten years together. But we still have a lot more love and support to give, and adopting will allow us to do just that and expand our family like we’ve always wanted to. We are thrilled to be on our adoption journey!

We met in Los Angeles ten years ago on a dating app and have been married for eight years! A dating app success story - who would have thought?! As cliche as it sounds, our connection to each other was truly instantaneous. While we are two men, our relationship is otherwise traditional in its values, and that is what connected us a decade ago. We immediately bonded over our love of family. We each have one sibling (a sister), who both have overcome unique obstacles as Jonathan's sister, Rachel, has Down Syndrome and Lee's sister, Ilene, has cystic fibrosis.

We both come from loving, supporting homes and we both share the same value of commitment, knowing the importance of standing by your significant other and loved ones through life’s ups and downs. Life can be a crazy ride, and we love being on the ride together!

I’m currently a stay-at-home dog Dad waiting to fulfill my dreams of being a full-time Dad to our future child! I was born in New Jersey but my family relocated to Southern California when I was seven, and I’ve been in California since. By education I am an attorney and I practiced law in the past, but my true passion is for homemaking and giving back. Cooking, taking care of our dogs, entertaining, creating a warm home environment and doing volunteer work are some of my passions, and I can’t wait to expand our family and add our child’s life into my daily routine! What excites me most about becoming a parent is being able to share a loving home environment and allowing our child to reach for the stars and accomplish their dreams, whatever those dreams may be. I am very active, as I regularly play tennis, hike, walk and go to the gym. Having an Italian Mom has instilled in me a love for culture, cooking, family and holidays, and I can’t wait to share all of that with our future child!

Jonathan is the most caring person I’ve ever met! One of my favorite things about him is how in tune he is to other people’s needs and feelings, and how much care he puts into making sure they are happy. This is evident with his sister, Rachel, who has Down Syndrome and who Jonathan has always been very close with. When we first started dating, Jonathan spent the weekend babysitting his younger cousins, entertaining them with their favorite activities. He loves his family and does everything he can for them. That’s just who he is! He is at ease connecting with people of all ages and he especially loves getting to know children and hearing about their interests. Jonathan is smart, loyal, genuine and honest. He loves to entertain and he makes everyone who comes into our home feel welcome. He also ensures that nobody ever leaves hungry! I know Jonathan will be the best Dad to our future child!

I grew up outside of Philadelphia and I never thought my life would take me all the way to sunny California, but I came in pursuit of my dream to make TV shows, which is exactly what I do today! As a successful TV executive, I've had the honor to work on shows such as Glee, Jane the Virgin, Family Guy, and Ghosts, to name a few. I love my job, but I am most excited about expanding our family and showering our future child with all the love and opportunities they need to chase and achieve their own dreams. Building a family will be the greatest, most joyous production of my life! I love playing tennis, Broadway musicals, baking birthday cakes (everybody in the family gets to request the flavor on their day!), and traveling. I can’t wait to share those activities (and many more!) with our future child and getting to experience what they enjoy the most, too. Family is very important to me. I speak to my Dad and sister, Ilene, daily (a tradition started with my Mom before she passed). My mom always said “I choose you” because she never wanted me to doubt that I belonged. I will carry that tradition forward to make sure our child knows they are chosen and loved. That is what makes a family!

My nickname for Lee is sweet Lee because he is exactly that, the sweetest! Plus he loves to bake, which makes the name even more fitting! Lee is the kindest and most patient person there is. A true gem, he loves seeing his loved ones happy, and he will go out of his way to make sure those around him feel supported, respected, and loved. Lee is an amazing husband, an incredible son and brother, and I know he will be the ideal Dad as well. He is great with children of all ages, and he’s no stranger to making funny faces with babies, running around with children, or conversing with teenagers about what’s going on in their lives. Lee prides himself on being a provider. He has an excellent work ethic, and he loves his job as a TV executive. Lee is also grateful that his job allows him to have a work/life balance and to work from home as he pleases. This means he will have lots of time at home with our future child! Lee thrives in all that he does, and I can’t wait to see him thrive in his next role as Dad!

We own our home in Brentwood, an idyllic, safe neighborhood in Los Angeles that is easily one of the best places in the country to live and raise a family! Our neighborhood is filled with tree-lined streets, top public and private schools, numerous parks, farmers markets, restaurants and more! While Los Angeles is a major city, our neighborhood is frequently described as a "slice of Americana." People who live here never want to leave, and our neighborhood is known for its friendly neighbors and families. If you need a lemon, an egg or some sugar, a neighbor is always there to help out! Our neighborhood is also known for being the go-to place for trick-or-treating during Halloween!

Our home has ample bedrooms, including an empty one just waiting to become the nursery for our future child. We also have a beautifully landscaped backyard and a playroom ready for them to enjoy for years to come!

Living in Brentwood provides us with great weather year round and close proximity to the beach, theme parks, mountains, desert and so much more! We can’t wait to introduce our future child to our neighborhood!

Our families are our everything! Jonathan’s family lives nearby in Southern California and his parents have been married for forty-four years! He has one sister, Rachel, who has Down syndrome and who he is very close with and proud of. She’s accomplished so much and was even on a television show which documented the lives of individuals with Down Syndrome! She has the biggest heart and can’t wait to be an Aunt to our future child. Jonathan’s family is accepting, supportive, tight-knit and full of love, and there is adoption in his extended family as well.

Lee is equally as close to his amazing family! His parents were married for almost forty-eight years (together for nearly fifty-two!). Lee’s Mom passed away recently after a hard fought battle with cancer. While she is no longer physically with us, she is forever a part of us. Lee’s Mom was a nurse and after she retired she volunteered holding babies in the hospital. Lee gets his love of babies and children from her! Lee also has one sister, Ilene. She has cystic fibrosis but has never let that hold her back, as she’s an accomplished academic who is very physically active. She and her husband can’t wait to be an Aunt and Uncle, and Lee’s Dad and Jonathan’s parents can’t wait to be grandparents! We are very close to our extended family and their children. Our cousin’s children can’t wait to have a new cousin in our future child!

We love the holidays! Especially Christmas and Thanksgiving! Jonathan’s Mom has always decorated her home for each and every holiday, and we share this love for holiday decor and traditions. Sitting by the Christmas tree, the smell of sweets in the oven, and family gatherings over the holidays are just some of the traditions we can’t wait to share with our future child!

We can’t thank you enough for taking the time to get to know us better and for considering us as prospective parents of your child. It means the world to us! Without you, we wouldn’t be able to expand our family, and just your consideration is something we are incredibly grateful for. Our marriage is filled with love, stability, commitment, and respect, and as parents we will raise your child with those same values. We promise to make you, as their birth mother, proud. Your child will be our number one priority. Raising them and seeing them spread their wings is something we truly can’t wait for! It is something we (and our families!) have dreamed of. Thank you for simply considering making our dreams of becoming Dads a reality. We are so very thankful.
