About Us
Our Story
We are an adventurous, playful, loving couple who are committed to our families, to each other, and to our growth individually and together. We live in our forever home outside of New York City, which sits on 3 acres of fields and woods, and we are excited to welcome a baby into our country life with all the amenities of the suburbs.
After meeting in 2011 first as roommates and friends, we started dating. We realized we share so many interests: playing pool, cooking, TV series, comedians, and especially our shared joy of Christmas (check out our Christmas video at www.lukeandsiadopt.com!). We got engaged in December 2014 and one year later eloped in Prospect Park in Brooklyn, in a ceremony officiated by one of our good friends. We both have long-term, fulfilling jobs that guarantee this child will have a stable upbringing with all the love and attention they could hope for.
Our Home
In 2021 we bought our forever home. It sits on 3+ acres of flat yard, woods and rock faces, with plenty of wildlife. Our home reminds us of a ski lodge and the space inside and out will be so wonderful for the family we hope to build.
Since moving here, Luke spends a lot of time improving the land outside (cutting trees, clearing brush, landscaping). Si helps with the yard upkeep, and keeps the inside of the house beautiful.
When the weather improves, we love to spend time by the pool or in the garden, or walking the property with our dogs. Si is also a great cook, and grilling is one of his specialties!
Luke
What Si says about Luke:
Luke has earned my trust and admiration from early in our relationship. Luke commits every day to assure our family’s security and asserts himself daily to his journey of self improvement. Luke makes me proud everyday just because he’s a truly kind person. I know that parenting with Luke will exceed our ultimate joy
Si (pronounced 'sigh')
What Luke says about Si:
Si is a passionate dreamer. He cares a lot about protecting the people around him, including me, and about making a difference in the lives of his students which I admire. He has a great sense of humor, and finds joy in a lot of situations. He takes care of me and of our family, and I can’t wait to see him as this extends to becoming a father.
