Family & Home

We live in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood with many trees. Our apartment complex is welcoming, and filled with kids and families. We are a few walkable blocks from a great park that has woods and a river filled with wildlife. The streets are always busy with neighbors running, walking their dogs, taking their kids to the playground, or grabbing a sandwich at the local market. Living in CT is a great opportunity to have access to both nature and city life. We go hiking and bike riding as often as possible, by the coastal beaches and also go into New York City for art, theater, and visits with friends. We love spending time together and can’t wait to share our active life with your child when we’re lucky enough to adopt. We have a lovely, sunny apartment, with plenty of room for a new baby. We have one kitty named Mumford who loves to follow us from room to room and snuggle when she’s not sleeping in her favorite chair. 

We are lucky to live close to both of our families. Scott’s father and sister Erica, brother-in-law Reese, and two nieces, Lena and Rosa, are only 15 minutes away. We spend lots of time together, babysitting the nieces, and celebrating birthdays or just Friday night pizza. Patrick’s brother, Chris, sister-in-law Lisa, two nephews, Aiden and Dillon, and niece, Keara, are also only 15 minutes away. We spend a lot of time attending the kids' hockey games and gathering for celebrations. We have close relationships with these family members and many other extended relatives that are close by. 

We also have a community of friends, colleagues, and neighbors that we get together with to have dinner, invite over for parties, or see a show or concert. It is a beautiful and loving network of support that we are very grateful.
