We live in a quiet, child-friendly suburb on Long Island with our dog, Percy. Although we’ve been close friends for almost twenty years, we decided to try officially dating in 2019. Everything worked out fantastically and we decided to move in together just before the pandemic started. After spending the lockdown together, we knew that we could handle anything life could throw at us. We have always wanted to be able to share our good fortune with a child, as well as our love of learning and new experiences. We know that we can provide a child with great opportunities and support in a caring and nurturing home, and we want nothing more than to do just that.

Our Lives
We both are professionals, but our jobs are extremely flexible. We both have significant paid time off and the ability to take advantage of work-from-home schedules. We enjoy travelling and try to schedule at least one big trip each year—in the past, we’ve gone to Virginia, Vermont, Chicago, and last year we went to Ireland, and next year we plan to visit Japan. We also do a lot of exploration closer to home—at least a couple of times a month, we do a big hike so that Autumn can take photographs. At home, we like to enjoy culture with books, movies, music, and food.
Our Family
We have a large, extended family, spread throughout the country, with family members as far away as Texas, but most of our immediate family lives in New York and Connecticut. We are only a few hours away from our parents on both sides. Both of us have two siblings; Rose has two brothers and Autumn has a brother and sister. On both sides of the family, we have about a half-dozen nieces and nephews so far, as well. We also have a lot of friends who live on Long Island and throughout New England who are as close as family. To keep in touch, we like to host movie nights and board game get togethers to make sure all of our loved ones have an excuse to come and visit.
Final Thoughts
We know that this is a difficult decision, and are thankful and honored that you are considering us. We are excited to share our home with a child, and grateful to have the opportunity to do so.
