All About Trey & Jenny

We are Jenny and Trey, and we’re so grateful that you’re taking the time to get to know us. We hope this glimpse into our lives conveys the love, joy, and warmth we share.

As we stand on the brink of the next chapter in our lives—one that we hope includes becoming parents- we want to share with you the heart of who we are and the home we would create for a child.

Our life is filled with laughter and a lot of love. We love cozy nights in with our dog Binx, watching horror movies, or bad reality TV. On weekends, you might find us exploring antique shops or playing vintage arcade games on impromptu trips around New England. We’re involved in a lot of justice and social advocacy work – attending rallies, grassroots organizing, and volunteering for causes we believe in. These are values we hope to share with our future child.

We hope to build a home that encourages curiosity, compassion, and creativity. We want our future child to know that they are deeply loved and supported, not just by us, but by the amazing community of family and friends who surround us. As a queer, mixed-race couple, we believe in celebrating individuality and independence, while also nurturing the bonds that bring us together as a family.

Why Adoption?

We have talked about adoption since very early in our relationship, as we’ve always known we could not have biological children. We deeply desire to have children, and we have so much love to give. Jenny has been a mother's helper, babysitter, and nanny for the majority of her life for many families and has always had a special connection to babies and children. Trey's first job was working in his family church nursery and also always connected easily to kids. Adoption has always felt like the most meaningful way for us to grow our family. We know in our hearts this is meant to be a part of our journey, and we are confident we can provide a safe, supportive, stable home filled with unconditional love.

Family & Home

We live in a vibrant multicultural neighborhood in Massachusetts. We live directly next to a beautiful park with a playground, down the street from an elementary school, and we are a 20-minute walk to the beach. We are a short drive from Boston and love to visit our old stomping grounds. Our home offers ample space for a child to learn, play, and grow.

We are so lucky to have the love and support of a beautiful community of family and friends. Everyone has been so supportive of our dream of becoming parents. Trey’s Mom, Jenny’s Dad, Jenny’s Aunt, Uncle, Cousin, Brother, Sister-in-law, niece, and nephew are all within driving distance, and we get together often (usually over lots of food). Trey’s brother lives in California, and we make regular trips there to see him. Our friends are like family to us, and we are so lucky to have many close friendships. Most of our friends have babies or toddlers right now, a new baby would fit right into the pack!

How others describe me

Jenny Through Trey’s Eyes

Jenny is the vibrant energy that lights up every room. Her outgoing personality and infectious laughter bring joy to everyone around her. She’s the kind of person who isn’t afraid to be silly. Watching her interact with our friends and family, I see the compassionate and nurturing spirit that will make her an incredible mother.

Trey Through Jenny’s Eyes

Trey is my rock and my calm in the storm. His thoughtful nature and gentle demeanor balance my energetic spirit perfectly. He’s the type of person who shows his love through acts of service—whether it’s organizing our home or surprising me with little gestures (like notes in my lunch for work) that make everyday life special. His compassion knows no bounds, and I know he’ll bring that same love and patience to parenting.

How We Met

Our journey began at college in Boston in 2011, where we both studied Communications. Although we can’t pinpoint the exact moment we met, our paths crossed frequently in classes and through mutual friends. Over time, our friendship blossomed into something more.

We spent countless hours exploring the city together, strolling through the Common, indulging in pastries at Bova’s Bakery, and enjoying movie nights in Jenny’s cozy apartment. Whether it was navigating internships or enduring the city’s infamous subway rides, we found comfort and excitement in each other’s company. After college, we moved to a nearby community with a group of close friends, sharing seven wonderful years filled with laughter and growth. Ten years into our relationship, Trey proposed in the most heartfelt way: he built a pillow fort adorned with twinkling lights, with our favorite movie, Moonrise Kingdom, projected on the wall. It was intimate, magical, and perfectly “us.”

Advice to Future Child

To our future child,

We want you to know how deeply and unconditionally loved you are and have always been. We are so lucky to get to share our lives, hearts, and love with you. Always know that we are here for you and we have your back through thick and thin. There are so many beautiful and unique things about you, and adoption is one piece of your story. You can always talk to us or ask questions about your birth family, your adoption, or any feelings you have about it. It’s ok to wonder and have questions about your birth family - we want you to know you never have to choose. The beautiful thing about adoption is how connected we all are and how we have a great big extended family full of so many people who love you. We will always love you and care for you unconditionally. No matter what happens or how you feel, if you get sad or angry or upset, you can always come to us - we will always be your home.

We apologize in advance for the number of Disney movies your dad will encourage you to consume and the crazy family costumes mom will be dressing you in for Halloween as a baby. Hopefully, you don’t mind the number of fridge magnets plastered on the fridge that dad collects on every road trip or vacation and the hours we will inevitably spend in thrift stores. We hope you’re excited to check out the Renaissance fair - buckle in, it’s going to be a magical time!

Perspectives on Open Adoption

We welcome the birth mom we will have the joy of matching with to look to us as partners in this journey. We believe deeply in open adoption and admire the strength and love it takes for a birth mom to place her child. We want our children to know as much as they can about where they came from. Our vision for the future includes an open and supportive relationship where we can share updates about life, celebrate milestones together, and ensure our child grows up surrounded by love from a team of so many caring adults.
