We both work full-time during the week, splitting our time between a couple of days in the office and a couple of days working remotely. We're fortunate to have a strong work-life balance. Chris enjoys playing darts once a week and loves fishing in the summer. Liz enjoys reading and going to baseball games. Together, we love spending time with our families and friends, heading down to the shore, visiting the Poconos, and taking mini-weekend road trips to nearby destinations.

Liz is an only child and was adopted herself, but she's always been incredibly close with her parents. Raised in New Jersey, she has a large extended family—lots of aunts, uncles, cousins, and a grandfather who is so excited at the thought of becoming a great-grandpa. She also has many lifelong friends who feel like family. Growing up, Liz spent time at her family’s home in the Poconos and took yearly vacations with loved ones—traditions we still keep today. She can’t wait to bring a child along to the Poconos and create new memories there.

Chris is the youngest of three, with one brother, one sister, four nieces, and a nephew. He’s very close with his grandmother and extended family, many of whom live nearby. Like Liz, he has close friends who have become family to us. Every summer, we visit the shore to see his aunt who lives there, and we’re excited to one day share that tradition with our future child.

We’re lucky to be surrounded by such a loving and supportive group, and both of our families are so eager to welcome a new bundle of joy into their lives.

We live in a cozy townhouse with three bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, and a finished basement. Our home has a spacious kitchen and living room, with a nice deck just off the kitchen—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Downstairs, the basement opens to a patio and a fenced-in backyard, both furnished with tables and chairs for enjoying the outdoors. Our neighborhood is quiet and family-friendly, which we love. In 2024, we adopted our sweet dog, Dolly, a three-year-old Whippet mix. She's full of love—she gets excited to greet new visitors but is incredibly calm and gentle, especially with children.

Adoption has always been a meaningful part of Liz's life—she was adopted as a baby, and one of Chris's aunts has also adopted children. From early on, we knew adoption was something we wanted to pursue. After experiencing two miscarriages over the past three years, we've come to realize that adoption may be part of our journey sooner than we expected—and we truly hope our path crosses yours.
