- California -
HI! We are so thankful we get the opportunity to introduce ourselves to you! our names are Matt & Tabie and we live on a farm in California. We love the outdoors, our dogs and enjoying living a simple life away form the hustle and bustle of the city. We discovered our infertility early on in our marriage and while it has been a struggle for us it has also given us the opportunity to be here, writing to you. We understand this may be a difficult time and we hope to walk this path at your side.
Hi, Nice to meet you! Hope you enjoy our family profile! While we may not be the most traditional family we are a very close family. We are blessed to be able to be home with our family all the time. We are an open book so feel free to ask us anything!
Hi! I'm Tabie! Thank you so much for look at our little family! I am so happy being a mom, even though it is by far the hardest thing i have ever done! I love being there for my family and having the opportunity to watch them grow. Life is everchanging and we never know what God has in store for us but i believe that if we accept His plan all will be well!
Dear Birth Mother,
We have found that family doesn’t always follow the standard course. Our recent adoption experiences have showed that. This process, while full of love and joy, can also be a sobering time for those involved. We completed our fist adoption, a beautiful boy. He is our greatest blessing, and we are thrilled to have him and his birth mom as a part of our life. We have learned that adoption expands your family more than just a child, but you also have that child’s birth parents to consider. Your wants and desires for the child we will share – whether an adoption is open or closed it is imperative that everyone involved respects each other as family, because that is what we are now.
We want to thank you for considering helping us grow our family and we want you to know that your wellness is in the forefront of our mind. Whether you chose us, another family, or decide to do this on your own. We wish you strength, peace, and joy through this process.
From our Family to yours…
This a question I would have had a very different answer a year ago! I had grand plans for being a parent but they all went out the window when Reese came in to our life. Lessons learned!
We would consider ourselves fluid parents – we just kinda go with the flow- we try not to make too many rules and be flexible when we are just having a bad day. As parents we just try to always be there and be involved in all the exciting new experiences!
Living in the country is a big change of pace from city life but that doesn’t mean there is less to do. We keep busy with chores and working with all our animals. we love being able to leave our doors unlocked and know that our family is safe.
Before Reese came in to our life we had an elaborate nursery set up. turns out it never got used! He slept in our room for the first year and then transferred to his own room and bed. by the time he weas ready for his own room he could climb out of the crib so we decided the nursery had to go and we would get a Montessori room. Fostering independence has worked well for him but i think we will set up rooms that work best for each child. The space should be best suited for the child that lives there.
We have A LOT of pets! The dogs and the house cats are the big bosses. Clause and Elvira are our dogs and (officer) Farva and Jinx are the cats. They enjoy playing outside and chasing squirrels!
