We are Brittany and Salvatore. We met about nine years ago at our nephew’s birthday party in Illinois, where we are from. Brittany was in the kitchen cooking for the party and Sal came in, messing with her and telling her she didn’t know how to cook. Once he tried her pasta salad, he was hooked and told her she should come cook for him and his friends. A year later, we moved in together down in Florida, where we have been ever since. In 2021 we were married. Salvatore is a hip-hop artist and recording engineer. He loves anything dealing with music and is very talented with his craft. Brittany is a general manager at a precast concrete company. She loves shopping and crafting for her online store. Together we love traveling and exploring everything Florida has to offer: going to theme parks, trying new restaurants, and going to different sporting events.

Between the two of us, we have a huge support system with all our relatives and friends we have become close to over the years. We have three biological siblings and four step-siblings along with ten nieces and nephews. Brittany’s parents are divorced, but both are remarried now and treat all of us as if we were their own. Salvatore’s mom passed away when he was two, and he was raised by his father. A lot of our family lives back in Illinois and all over the U.S. We do have a lot of extended family here in Florida but have many friends we have become close to whom we consider family.

Brittany’s dad and stepmom try to come down to Florida at least once a year, and her mom and stepdad come down a few times a year. Every year we get together with Brittany’s family as often as possible up in Illinois. At least once a year, we all go to Missouri, where Brittany’s grandparents on her mom’s side live, and have a big family vacation together on the Lake of the Ozarks.
We love getting together with our family when we can and definitely love spoiling all of our nieces and nephews.

We live in Florida, 30-45 minutes from many attractions Florida has to offer: beaches, theme parks, museums, sporting events, aquariums, parks, and much more. There is always something to do. We were blessed to redo our home a few years ago to how we wanted it. It’s a beautiful three-bedroom, two-bath home on a corner lot with a large, fenced yard. We love hanging out in the backyard anytime of the year, grilling or relaxing by the fire.

We have been wanting to grow our family for a long time and know we have more love in our hearts to extend to any child. Adopting is something we have talked about for a long time no matter if we are able to have biological children or not. Adopting a child would be a blessing to the both of us, and we could not be more excited about this journey.
