Meet Tony and Liz
Our Story
We're so excited our paths are crossing! We're very happy to introduce ourselves, our names are Liz and Tony. We're writing to you from our home, nestled in 10 acres within the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia.
We'd love to tell you a bit about ourselves and our story, of course that will be tricky to accomplish in a few paragraphs. Hopefully we meet each other and can share more about ourselves but until then, we've included some glimpses of our deep, loving relationship with some of our favorite moments in pictures.
Why We Want to Adopt
We have been so fortunate to spend a beautiful 20 years of marriage together after starting our journey as high school sweethearts. We've seen each other accomplish graduate degrees and hold successful careers in Accounting (Liz) and User Experience / Product Design (Tony).
Our Life and Lifestyle
We have been so fortunate to spend a beautiful 20 years of marriage together after starting our journey as high school sweethearts. We've seen each other accomplish graduate degrees and hold successful careers in Accounting (Liz) and User Experience / Product Design (Tony).
As both of us have come from larger families, we've always wanted to start a family of our own and it feels like the timing couldn't be better for us right now. Adoption feels like an incredible opportunity for us to welcome little ones into our lives and give them a wide-open, unconditional, and loving experience.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little about us and considering us for this incredible privilege. If you choose to take this journey with us, we look forward to meeting you and learning more about you and understanding the hopes and dreams you have for your child.

Daniel and Tricia
United States
Your baby will become part of our everyday lives. As they grow, they will have so many adventures. They will have a lot of cousins and friends to play with, and a lot of family members who will want to hold them forever. We met 16 years ago while out with friends at a local bar. We had a mutual friend we were with that night. From there we went on dinner dates, nature walks and horseback ridings, and an engagement 6 months later. We were both in school and working to save for a wedding a year and a half later. We have always been hard-working individuals with a passion to start a family. We have built a strong foundation and beautiful life that we are eager to share with our future child. This consists of a strong support system, a safe home, and a quiet neighborhood. Daniel is a cardiac sonographer, and Tricia is a veterinary technician. We live with our loving dog, Dorothea.
Simon and Chelsea
England
We’re Chelsea and Simon, and we’re excited to start our family through adoption. We’re a warm, fun, slightly adventurous pair who love our home, our little everyday rituals, and the people around us. We’ve both always pictured a family filled with love, curiosity, and laughter, and we’re ready to give a child all the stability and joy we can. We don’t currently have children, and building a family hasn’t been a simple road for us. We explored different paths, including surrogacy, and eventually realized that biology wasn’t what mattered to us. What matters is creating a family based on love, connection, and commitment. Simon (French) & Chelsea (American) met on the app “OK Cupid” in Dublin, Ireland in 2018. We hit it off from our first date and had an instant connection. What surprised both of us was how different we were from each other, and yet how well we both understood each other so well. In 2021, we got a “PACS”, which is a civil union in France. In 2023, Chelsea proposed to Simon (and he said yes!). In 2025, we got married in a small and beautiful ceremony near our home in England. Simon spent most of his life living abroad before settling in the UK. He has travelled to more than 35 countries and loves discovering the world. He has a career in technology and volunteers as an emergency medical responder (EMT), one of his biggest passions. He also loves DIY and woodworking. Chelsea is American and a big animal lover, she’s been a vegetarian for 20 years. She works in nonprofit organizations around the world on issues like poverty and conflict. When she was 25, she moved to Ireland by herself. Having lived in New York City for years, she decided to finally go live abroad, a dream she had had all her life.
