Tommy & Matt

Hi! We’re Matt and Tommy. We can’t wait to share our life and loving home with a child. Through our cherished friendships, we’ve come to understand that family extends far beyond biological ties. As we began envisioning the next chapter of our lives, we knew with certainty that adoption was the path we wanted to take to grow our family. We are open to and welcome a child of any race or background and an open adoption, believing it can create an even richer experience for everyone involved. We have the utmost respect and appreciation for the incredible gift of life, and we would be deeply honored to provide a loving, nurturing home for a child. We met in 2009 just after graduating college and have been together ever since. From moving into our first home together, to our wedding in 2015, and to becoming godparents and uncles, we’ve built a loving, warm life together full of friendships, adventures, and lots of laughter. We’re so excited to provide a nurturing, caring environment for a child with us in our home on the Upper East Side of New York City. We live in a three-bedroom apartment on a quiet, tree-lined street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, just steps away from Central Park. Since we’ve been together, we’ve dreamed of a home with character, history and charm – and in 2022, we found it! When we first walked in, we knew the apartment would need lots of work – but Matt also turned to Tommy and said, “This is the first New York apartment I could imagine having a baby in.” Over the next year, we put in lots of love, care and hard work to turn our space into a home that mixes classic design with modern living. From roaring fires in the winter to weekend family brunches — we can’t wait to share it with a child. We’re so fortunate that we have so much family nearby! Matt’s whole family is right here in New York – his parents and sister just two blocks away, as well as his brother, sister-in-law and new baby niece a few minutes by car! Tommy’s brother, sister-in-law and two little nephews are also in New York. His dad and stepdad live just 90 minutes away in Connecticut, and his mom and stepdad are back in Minnesota, but visit often! We try to gather with Matt’s family for dinner every Friday night – it’s a joyous environment with lots of fun conversation and friendly banter. We have an amazing group of friends from a diverse range of backgrounds. Many of our friends have their own children, and we love being Uncle Matt and Uncle Tommy to them. During college, Matt spent time living in Italy, and so we also have a wonderful circle of friends in Milan who we travel to see several times a year. We can’t wait to raise our child speaking Italian and to bring them to meet their Italian “cousins.” We’re so grateful for you taking the time to learn about us and considering us as adoptive parents for your child. We are committed to giving a child everything they’ll need to have a fulfilling, rich (and fun!) life. We can say with full confidence that they will be surrounded with joy, compassion, love and patience. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or want to learn more about us.
