Hello, we are Matthew and Joanna! We are so excited that you are reading this. Thank you for reading our story and considering us as prospective parents.

Our love story started on Halloween of 2011 during a party Joanna, and her sisters threw. We talked the entire evening, and Joanna was clever enough to get Matt's number. One day after the Halloween party, we met with a group at a local movie theatre. It was thereafter he heard her laugh at one of his jokes, that Matt fell in love and knew he wanted to marry Joanna. Two weeks later, we started dating. The more we got to know each other, the more we knew we belonged together. At the end of April, only six months after our meeting, Matt proposed at Magic Kingdom in Disney World, under the fireworks. We were married on December 1, 2012.

From the start of our marriage, we had always talked about adopting in addition to having biological children. We visited a fertility clinic but quickly realized this was not our path. Since infertility closed the door to pregnancy, we want to start our family through adoption.

We are so excited to embark on this journey as a team; we are more than ready to share our lives with the sweet angel we hope to adopt.
