Barry & Matt Adopt

LUCK MUST HAVE BEEN ON OUR SIDE WHEN THE TWO OF US MET, as we clicked with one another right away; in 3 days, we went from a text conversation to a phone conversation, and then to a first date! Right off the bat, we learned about each other’s interests and quickly took an interest in the things that brought each other joy.

Matt’s interest in public service and Barry’s passion for religious traditions. Early on in our relationship, we knew that this was something special, sharing each other with our extended families after only a few weeks! Three years after we met, we got married, and then about 3 years after that we began the adoption process in earnest. Both of us adore children, especially our niece and nephew, and we look forward to raising a family of our own—one that is full of love, laughter, joy, and celebration.

Nothing would give us a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment than helping someone discover the world and realize their place in it. And of course, our future child’s grandparents are looking forward to their arrival!
