We found each other when we were already pretty established, and we were so happy to have found each other. We knew pretty quickly that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together and felt like we had known each other forever. We went through a lot of change in a short period, which helped us learn to work together as a team and to communicate well. We feel these qualities will help us parent well together.
We are both from the Midwest. We are musical and enjoy seeing Broadway shows together. We also love to laugh, spend quality time together, go sightseeing, and be silly together. One thing that is very important to us is our Christian faith. We value things like honesty, integrity, faithfulness, commitment, and forgiveness. This is the foundation of our marriage and family.

Our Life
We live in a large city in Arizona in a nice community. We enjoy our neighbors, and our dog even has a “dog best friend” here. There is a really pretty greenbelt, beautiful trees, and gated pools. There are mountains we can hike and some nice playgrounds near us. What we love about Arizona is all of the outdoor and indoor fun that kids can have. Arizona is known for beautiful sunsets, as well as the Grand Canyon!
We moved into our home about two years ago and did some renovations to make it more open, modern, and beautiful. Our home has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and room to add a third bedroom. We are especially excited about the nursery we are creating! It is a room full of love already.
Our Family
Anna: I grew up in so many different places. I quickly learned the value of my family – they are the people I can always count on. My parents took my sister, brother, and me to “see the world.” My childhood was filled with a love of culture, travel, and adventure.
I visit my niece and nephews often. My family is very close and festive. My dad wears a huge 4th of July hat, and I love to surprise my niece and nephews with matching costumes for Halloween. My family and I have a great time together, regardless of what we are doing.
Jeff: I grew up in Cleveland Ohio, the second of four kids. My mom’s family moved to America from Italy, and most of my extended family lives in Cleveland now. We are serious Cleveland Browns fans and love to go to the Guardians stadium for games. My childhood was spent at family gatherings eating homemade meatballs, spaghetti, and cavatelli. My dad taught me how to fix things around the house, and I helped take care of my baby sister.

We cannot imagine the weight of deciding on adoptive parents for your precious child. We have so much respect for you; we understand this process must be stressful, exhausting, emotional, complicated and overwhelming for you. Please know that if you choose us to adopt your child and we have the honor of becoming parents, we will love, cherish, and protect your child wholeheartedly and with great devotion.
With love,
-Jeff & Anna
