Sandy and John

Dear Birthmother,
Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We are John and Sandy and we are very excited to start our family through adoption.

We admire your courage and selflessness as you begin to make this decision. We are honored that you have chosen to learn more about us and we hope this short introduction, will portray our life, our dream to be a family and the love we have to offer.

Our Story
We've been married for 12 years, but our story started many years before, when we met as kids. We both come from Italian families and our moms were friends. John is a bit younger than Sandy so as we were growing up we were at different stages in our lives. On a special night in 1993 when John was 19 and Sandy was 21, we saw each other at a social event, and within moments we realized we had great chemistry. We've been inseparable ever since. We have a lot in common and together we enjoy Red Sox games, museums, movies, the theatre, dinner out, traveling and spending time with family and friends.

We were married in August of 1998, in a big Italian wedding. Married life has been great. We have a very happy life, rich with friends and family. We live in a suburb outside Boston, in a great neighborhood. We have a loveable and sweet 8 year old dog named Cody. He gives us so much happiness.

We take him for walks in the neighborhood and out for rides in the car, which he loves so much! We all, including Cody, enjoy spending time cuddled up by our fireplace in the winter and having fun splashing in our pool, and having BBQ's with our friends and family during the summer.

We love taking vacations and we've traveled around the United States, the Caribbean and to Italy. We both have family and friends in Italy and like to visit them any chance we get.

The only piece missing in our lives is a child for us to become a family. We're excited to share our lives with a child through the gift of adoption.

Meet Sandy by John
Sandy was born and raised in Newton, Massachusetts. Her parents came to America from Italy and she is the older of two children. Her dad passed away 18 years ago but both her mom and her brother live close by. She has her Bachelors degree in Business Management and works as an Executive Assistant at a bio-pharmaceutical company.

She is the most kind, loving, gentle person you will find. She has a wonderful heart that is full of love and patience for people and animals. She is a great listener and loves to talk about “what ifs” and share her dreams and hopes. If you are ever worried or nervous, she has a very calming way of speaking and dealing with you to put your mind at ease. Putting others first is something that comes naturally to Sandy, but she is more than willing to put her foot down when it is needed as well.

Sandy comes from a very loving and happy family and enjoys spending time with them and having them be a big part of her life Her hobbies include, being crafty and creative and making jewelry, reading books and magazines and she looks forward to reading bedtime stories one day. Sandy loves spending time with friends and family, but she is always up for a cozy night at home watching a movie.

Meet John by Sandy
John was raised in Waltham, Massachusetts and his parents also immigrated from Italy. He is the oldest of 3 children and is very close to his two younger sisters. His parents and sisters live nearby. John works in Sales and he loves his job and the people he works with. He works very hard and has built great relationships with co-workers. He graduated from Northeastern University with a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering.

John is a caring, thoughtful, genuine, free spirited happy guy. He is always thinking of others and will offer a hand to anyone in need. He is always there for a friend whether they need someone to talk to, help moving furniture, or borrowing something - you name it John is there. He is a very loving and supportive husband. Through his actions you learn that family and friends come first to John. He will put anything aside to help family and to enjoy their company. He is a true family guy and at family parties you will always find Uncle John running around playing with his two nieces and his many younger cousins.

He is very handy and loves working on projects. He grew up teaching himself to fix many home projects like electrical, plumbing, woodworking, and iron work. He loves working with his hands. He also loves to be the grill master and spending time outside. He enjoys swimming and spending time in our hot tub and he enjoys any chance he gets to take a Bikram Yoga class. He has a great sense of humor and loves to laugh and be happy.

Our Families and Friends
We both come from very loving and supportive families and are very close with our parents, siblings, nieces, cousins, etc. We truly love to spend time with our families. Our families get together for holidays and birthday celebrations where we especially love seeing our nieces full of excitement!

We take a family vacation with both our families every year. We take a trip to Cape Cod every summer with John's family and Sandy's family will either take a yearly trip to their timeshare in Orlando near Disney World or a beach vacation. We feel the strong extended family we have provides a wonderful secure environment in which to raise a child. Both our parents have instilled in us the importance of family and the kind of parents we want to be. Our families would be extremely excited to have a new child to welcome into our circle.

Sandy has a younger brother she is best friends with named Fabio, and John has two younger sisters, Claudia and Rosanna. Rosanna and her husband Matt were recently married, and Claudia and her husband Doug have two little girls. Our niece Erica is 4 and our niece Alissa is 2. They are both looking forward to welcoming a cousin and playmate into the family. Sandy's father passed away when she was 21. They were very close and he still holds a very special place in her heart. Sandy's mom and brother live close by and we see both of them very often. Her extended family is spread out between New York, and Italy. Even though they are far away, we visit with them often and are very close despite the distance.

Most of John's large extended family live within 30 minutes of our house and we are able to see them all the time. He has a very large family, with dozens of aunts, uncles, and 26 cousins. We find plenty of excuses to get together. His mom comes from a family of 10 brothers and sisters whom are all married and have children and grandchildren. John's father comes from a family of 5 brothers and sisters and they also are all married and have children and grandchildren. The family count has reached 78 people and they are all very close and we see them all very often.

We have a great group of friends that we've met through the years starting from Elementary school all the way through college and through our different jobs. We love seeing them and we all love to get together any chance we get. Both of our best friends are people we met in Elementary school and we've been friends with all our lives. Our friends are considered a part of our family and they are very important to us. Most of our friends have children ranging in ages from 2 to 14 years old, and we love them as if they were our nieces and nephews.

Our families and friends are the most important part of our lives! Everyone is so supportive and excited about our decision to adopt.

Our home and Our Community
We live in a western suburb of Boston. It's a great location in relation to our family and friends within a car ride away. We live in a safe neighborhood with kind people, and we are also just a short car or train ride away from downtown Boston. We enjoy many weekends exploring all it has to offer!

Our house is a warm and welcoming place. There is plenty of space inside and outside the house for a child to have fun, run and play. We have a large backyard with an in-ground pool, hot tub and large patio and we enjoy spending as much time as possible outside.

We live in a town that has all the fun and excitement of a city, as well as all the peace and quiet of the country. Within 5 minutes in one direction of our home we can be at any type of restaurant one could think of, as well as shop at all the major stores. Within 5 minutes in the other direction we have many produce and dairy farms, and lots of animals such as horses, cows, and sheep.

Massachusetts has all the changing seasons, and we get to enjoy summers with lots of sunshine spending time on the beach and winters skiing and sledding in the snow.

Our Promise
We are committed to raising your child with unconditional love and are dedicated to providing them with a childhood full of happy memories. We promise your child will always be supported and nurtured as they grow into the person they were destined to be. We plan to encourage your child to be a strong, independent, happy and responsible individual, as we were taught as children. We also promise that your child will always know of the loving choice you made.

We feel it is important to tell your child about you, especially the important things you share with us. Your child will be raised feeling proud of who they are and will always know that the decision you made was one of love. We promise that a child placed into our arms will be raised with love and respect and an understanding of the miracle that created our family. We promise that he or she will know that your plan for adoption was made because of your love and commitment to providing them the best possible future.

What we want more than anything is to start a family together and to be a mom and dad. We are emotionally and financially ready to welcome a child into our lives.

We can promise you that we will love your child unconditionally and provide him or her with all the amazing opportunities we have been blessed with. We want our future adopted child to have all the experiences and love we had growing up. We want to provide a child with many fun memories. Whatever they are interested in we will support, and allow them to explore those interests.

We are so excited about our journey in this adoption process, and into parenthood. We believe it is a great way to grow our family. We have not been able to conceive a child biologically, but we believe there is a little soul out there just waiting for us to be their parents.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We look forward to opening our hearts to a child through adoption.

Best Wishes,

Sandy and John
