Hi! We are Matt and Victoria, welcome to our page! We’re so excited to share our story with you.

We met in the summer of 2013, in New Jersey through a mutual friend that Victoria has known since preschool and who Matt went to college with. We bought our first home together in 2017, rescued our dog, Brody, and were married in October of 2022. Brody walked down the aisle in his tux at our wedding, and was the star of the show!

We have talked about adoption since...

Hi, I’m Matt! I was born and raised in New Jersey and now work in New York City for the National Football League. I live in Jersey with my wife, Victoria, and our dog, Brody.

In the summer, you’ll often find me on the golf course, spending days at the beach, or cheering on the Mets. When winter rolls around, I trade the beach for the slopes, snowboarding whenever I can, and watching my favorite teams—the Jets and Islanders—play.

Above all, family is the most important part of my life. I love spending time with my...

Hi, I’m Victoria! I’m from New Jersey and have two younger sisters who I’m very close with. Growing up, our parents encouraged us to play sports—I played softball for 10 years and was a cheerleader in high school. After high school, I wasn’t sure what to pursue, so I attended community college and took a metals and jewelry class. That led me to Towson University, where I earned my BS in metalsmithing and jewelry design. I love creating jewelry and have been passionate about it ever since.

We bought our first home together in 2017, and it quickly became a special place filled with love and memories. We tackled many DIY projects, making it our own, and in August 2019, our family grew when we adopted our dog, Brody. Our home was perfect for commuting into New York City—just a 30-minute train ride—where Victoria worked at Tiffany and Matt at the NFL. One of the best parts of landing our dream NYC jobs was commuting together every day.

Although we loved our first home, we knew it wasn’t our...

Family is at the heart of everything we do. We are both extremely close with our families, talking or texting daily, and we love spending time together—whether it’s a big Sunday dinner with homemade pasta and sauce, backyard BBQs filled with laughter, or just cozy nights catching up.

Victoria has two younger sisters and they remain as close as ever. One lives down the Jersey Shore, while the other lives at home with their parents. We live just 15–20 minutes away, so we see them all the time. Matt has...

One of our favorite and most unique traditions is celebrating life’s milestones with Taco Bell. The night we got engaged, our first stop was straight to Taco Bell to celebrate, and we’ve even spent a few Valentine’s Days there, sharing laughs over tacos and Baja Blasts. It’s a simple but fun tradition that always reminds us to celebrate life’s big and small moments together.

Summers are all about the Jersey Shore for us—we love soaking up the sun at the beach, golfing together, and...

We are open to whatever type of adoption you feel most comfortable with. However, we hope for an open adoption where we can share updates through pictures, phone calls, and emails, as well as annual visits if that’s something you’d like. We would love for you to have the opportunity to see how your child is growing and for them to know their birth family in a way that feels natural and meaningful. Whatever level of contact you’re comfortable with, we will always honor and respect your wishes.
