Matthew & Madeline

Hello! We are Matthew and Madeline.

Thank you so much for taking the time to learn more about us and consider your options. We’re honored that you’re reading a little of our story, and we want you to know how deeply we respect the strength and love behind your decision. We’re so excited to be growing our family through adoption! We have so much love to give, and the hope of welcoming another child brings us so much joy. If you choose us, please know that your child will be unconditionally loved, nurtured, and supported every step of the way.

We met as children at the local baseball field, became best friends in high school, and in 2013, that friendship grew into something more. September 20, 2025, we celebrate ten amazing years of marriage. Our journey has been filled with laughter, growth, challenges, and an endless amount of love. Through every season, we've stood by each other’s side and we feel so blessed to walk through life together.

In 2022, we welcomed our miracle girl, Arabella. Born at just 26 weeks, she spent 98 days in the NICU before coming home, on what would’ve been her due date. Today, she’s thriving and needs no special accommodations. That season was incredibly hard, but it strengthened our family in ways we never expected. We’re so proud of Arabella’s resilience and grateful for the deep love, faith, and unity that carried us through.

We live in the same charming town where we both grew up. With many relatives nearby, we’re surrounded by support, connection, and deep roots. Our family is a constant source of joy and strength. Along with our close friends, we’re also very grateful for our strong, supportive church community, which fills our lives with encouragement and a true sense of belonging.

Thank you again for taking the time to get to know us. We hope this small glimpse into our lives brings you peace and clarity as you make this incredibly brave and selfless decision. Whatever you choose, please know that we wish the very best for you and your child’s future.

With gratitude,
Matthew & Madeline
