We are Matt and Tracy, and we’re super excited to start our family. We've always known that our family would grow through adoption. It's a passion that both of us have shared since we were teenagers - before we even knew each other.

We hope that through this profile, you're able to see the love we have for each other, our families and our future child. We know that as a couple, God has called us to adopt and we cannot wait to meet our child when the time is right.

We acknowledge this might be a confusing and difficult time for you, contemplating the best option for you and your baby. No matter where you're at in your journey, our hope for you is that you feel loved and supported along the way. We truly admire your decision to choose life and consider adoption.

If you do decide to make an adoption plan with us, we promise to love, celebrate and cherish your child with all of our hearts for all of our lives. We'll provide a stable, happy and faith-driven life while providing every possible opportunity to your child.

Throughout your pregnancy, please know that you're always in our prayers and we're praying over you and your sweet baby. Our hope for you during this time is that you're filled with peace in the decision you choose to make for you and your child.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us and for allowing us to introduce ourselves to you and tell you a bit more about our family.

Although we knew of each other in college, we really didn't start getting to know one another until after we graduated. At the time, Tracy was living in West Michigan for her first job, and Matt had returned to Metro Detroit to attend medical school. We kept in touch over social media, wishing each other “Happy Birthday!” or commenting on the other's dog photos, but nothing more than that transpired between us until one night.

The evening before Tracy's birthday, she was feeling bold. She wanted to let her old powderpuff football coach (Matt) know that she had a crush on him and wanted to get to know him better. To her surprise, he sent a really nice message back and we began to talk nonstop. A couple of weeks later, we had our first date and never looked back.

At first, we were in a long-distance relationship. However, when we knew things were getting more serious, Tracy took the leap to move closer to Matt and the rest, as they say, is history. After four years of dating, we were married in 2017. 

Matt is incredibly intelligent, charismatic and approachable. He's more patient than I'll ever give him credit for, and he lives his life to serve others. Matt is fiercely loyal and loves with his whole heart. He's a phenomenal partner and I know that will translate to being an amazing father, too. We've seen each other through so many phases in our relationship but the one we're both looking forward to most of all is parenthood. There's no one else I'd rather have by my side raising babies and making a family together. Matt loves to watch and play sports, stay active, hang out with the dogs and take them for walks. He also stays up to date on the latest in the healthcare profession to better serve his patients. I'm in awe of all he does and am so happy to have found him as my person.

Tracy is the most driven, motivated and thoughtful person. She is always thinking of others and working to ensure she does her part to help local nonprofits that she's passionate about. I really look up to her with everything she does and how much she gives back. She motivates me to be a better man and makes me laugh more than anyone else. Tracy is very intellectual, but also outgoing. She is an incredibly steadfast friend and always initiates conversation with her best friends who live across the U.S. While she loves to socialize with those closest to her, she’s really good at making new friends too. Tracy loves to read and you'll often find her absorbed in a book while she drinks her coffee on the weekends. I know she'll be the most incredible mom because she is so compassionate, fun and loving.

We live in a four bedroom, traditional-style home located on an acre of property. We've truly made this house a home. Our favorite area inside is our living room. It has large windows and high ceilings with a perfect amount of warm, natural light. In the winter months, we especially love this room because we can curl up in front of the fireplace with a good book and enjoy the space. We also really like the patio space outside because we love spending time outdoors. A fun bonus area outside is the play set, which we’re sure a child will enjoy! The proximity of our house to the beach, restaurants, libraries and other fun things to do makes it super convenient. There are also a number of awesome school playgrounds close by that make for a fun-filled afternoon.

Matt comes from a large, traditional Italian household with lots of love and laughter to go around. Often, we spend Sunday nights gathered around the table enjoying a great meal together as a family and chatting about what's going on in our lives. We are both very close with Matt's siblings, Jenny and Vito, along with Jenny's husband, Jake. Jenny and Jake have two young boys and we are godparents to our nephew, James.

Tracy's family is a little more complex than Matt's, but it is still filled with all the love in the world. Tracy's parents divorced when she was very young and were both remarried by the time Tracy turned seven-years-old. She has known life with having both her mom and stepdad and her dad and stepmom as sets of parents. Tracy is incredibly close with her siblings, Adam and Rachel, and their spouses. Tracy’s siblings have five children combined and they're all super excited to welcome another cousin to the crew.

Together we have two dogs, Joy and Landon. They are very cuddly and fun! Joy is 10-years-old and Landon is 11-years-old. They're both rescue dogs who, over the course of our relationship, have become best buds. They love lounging in front of the fireplace, spending time outside, treats and going for walks with "mom and dad."

We've had so many great memories over the course of our relationship that we like to reflect back on. From buying our first home together to getting engaged, to taking cooking classes and trips together; we just love to spend time together trying new things and experiencing the world around us.

If you asked Matt what his favorite holiday is, he would tell you Thanksgiving. He enjoys getting together with the whole family to watch football, eat a huge meal and then end the evening with pumpkin pie and a VERY competitive game of cards! If you were to ask Tracy the same question, she would tell you that her favorite holiday is the Fourth of July. She just loves the tradition of grilling out, spending time with family and watching the fireworks over the lake at night. We both can’t wait to share these special days with a child, and to make new family traditions together! 

Thank you for taking the time to look through our profile book. We hope this gave you a sense of our love, our families, our hobbies/interests and our furry friends. 

We want you to know that if you choose us as the adoptive family, we'll unconditionally love your child. We'll nurture him or her and encourage their hopes and dreams while providing the best possible education. We vow to raise your child with God at the center of it all, so he or she may know God's love and reflect it onto others. Most importantly, your child will always know you. They will be reminded often about the selfless sacrifice you made and just how very much you love him or her.

We're so overjoyed about our adoption journey and, if you'd like, we would love to meet and have the chance to learn more about you, as well!

God Bless,

Tracy & Matt
