Family & Home

We built a brand new home last year. It is a large house on a half-acre of land with plenty of yard. We built a swimming pool so we can swim as a family every day; both boys are avid swimmers and have taken lessons since before they could walk. With six bedrooms and bathrooms we have plenty of room for a growing family and visits from our extended family. We also have a huge library.

We moved into a new development that has tons of families with kids. The kids ride their bikes and play sports in the cul-de-sac, and there is a trampoline and playset and of course our pool. There are also large community playgrounds within a mile. We have neighborhood parties and get-togethers regularly and everyone gets along so well. The schools are excellent and we picked a top charter school in the region for the children. We have permanently settled in Colorado and are excited to continue building our family here. We built our home as a forever home, where our kids can grow up and continue visiting us when they are on their own with their own family. We do love to travel and are excited to take children to all the wonderful places that we’ve seen and lived together.

Meet Tabitha’s Family

My parents, Keith and Wendy, have been together for 36 years, and they are very involved in our lives and LOVE being Nana and Papa. They visit often and the boys built a tree house with Papa last summer. I have one brother, Matthew, who is 9 years younger than me, so I helped to raise him when we were growing up. Since it was just the two of us, we are very close.

My aunts, uncles, and cousins all live in New York, I was able to spend a lot of time with them when I was growing up and when I went to graduate school, while living in Pennsylvania. We are all very close, and share a group text and everyone talks and shares pictures and updates on Facebook – we always know about anything big going on, try to get together for big family events, and I am the family doctor so I help to take care of everyone. Eric’s My family growing up was always full of love and I wanted that for my children as well. My parents supported us in everything and were always positive and happy. They stressed the importance of our family connections and how we should care for others, too.

Meet Eric’s Family

Being part of a big family, we never felt alone and there was always someone there for you. I was an older child and always helped care for my younger siblings for anything from being sick or injured (I carried my youngest brother around on my back for several weeks when he injured his feet) to picking up my sisters when they ran out of gas (happened way too many times in my opinion). We are still close and I feel any of my family would drop everything and come whenever I needed them.

I have a large family. My parents, George and Gail, have been together 40 years. My older brother, Trevor and his wife Rachel have three kids, Cooper (6), Tucker (4), and Ashlynn (2). My sister Mariah and her husband Trevor have five kids, Carly (7), Mason (5), Miles (3), Emry (2), and Mason (6 months). My brother Evan is married to Natalie. My sister Corrin and her husband Scott have had one child together Neyteri (1), and Scott has two other adult children. My youngest brother, Max, is the baby of the family and does not have a spouse or any children of his own yet.

How others describe me

About Eric by Tabitha

There are so many remarkable things about Eric. One of the first things that I loved about him was his genuine nature. He is present, involved, and is my partner is every way. He is funny and sweet, and knows more about the Indianapolis Colts and Ninja Turtle franchise than anyone I have ever known. He is so kind and patient. He loves to get down on the floor and roll around with the kids, play in the dirt, and loves to teach and read with them. The most important thing to him in this world is his family, and you can absolutely see that.

About Tabitha by Eric

I could not have been blessed with a better person to share my life with. Tabitha is so loving and kind. She has such a big heart and wants to help anyone she sees in need and has dedicated her life to the service of others. She is also the most brilliant person I know. She has always loved being around, and connecting with children. She loves to fully engage with the kids and immerse herself, playing board games, baking, sharing her love of reading and nature, or even just coloring or scultping with play-doh. "She’s a great mom because she is sensitive to the kids' emotional and physical needs, and always knows the right thing to do to soothe and comfort them.

how we met

How We Met

We met 14 years ago when we were living in Pennsylvania. Tabitha was working on her Ph.D. at Penn State, and I had recently relocated to Pennsylvania after completing my degree in engineering. I remember when I first met her we had an instant connection. I knew that she was the one I wanted to spend my life with. We were engaged after dating for a year, and were married in New York City, a little over a year after that. We love spending time together and do everything together.

Advice to Future Child

Our child can be anything that they want.  We will be supportive and always there for them no matter what.  They should aspire to do what they are passionate for and always keep in mind the strong values that we will teach to them.

Perspectives on Open Adoption

We believe open adoption has many benefits for the child and may be the best option in most situations. Open adoption can be set up on terms that works for everyone and provides the child with a healthy appreciation of where they came from.
