Anthony & Sabrina

Dear Birth Parents,

Hello, we are Sabrina and Anthony, a fun loving couple whose home is full of laughter and hearts are full of hope.  Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity to introduce ourselves and getting to know us as a couple and as prospective parents.  We admire the courage it must take to make such an important and selfless decision.

We have known both joy and sorrow, as you will learn.  These experiences have helped us grow into the couple we are today.  We hope that through our story you will come to know the love and support we have for each other, our desire to grow our family through adoption, and the love and care we will give to your child forever.

About Us

We met in the summer of 2000 at a nightclub in Toronto.  When I learned it was Anthony’s birthday that night, I wished him a “Happy Birthday” and the rest, as they say, is history.  We were engaged in 2009 and married in August 2010, almost ten years to the exact date that we met!

We have always dreamed of becoming parents and after battling infertility, including pregnancy loss, for many years, we have lovingly decided to try to grow our family through adoption.  We know how beautiful adoption can be and truly believe it is the best way to achieve our dreams of having a family.

Sabrina talks about Anthony…

Anthony is a very patient, thoughtful, and responsible person.  He is always willing to help out whenever you need him.  When my mom passed away very unexpectedly in 2018, Anthony did all of the paperwork associated with her estate.  He stepped up to help my siblings and I when we were all in a state of shock and disbelief.

When you first meet Anthony, you might think he is shy or even quiet.  But once you get to know him, he is very talkative, engaging, and fun to be around.  He is also a great listener and is always interested in hearing other people’s perspectives.  He is genuinely a good, kind hearted individual.

Anthony is very close with his family – his mom, grandmother (who we call “Baba”), sister, niece and nephew.  He is very generous with his time and is always there to drive his nephew to hockey, help his brother-in-law move furniture or visit his Baba on a Sunday afternoon.

He has a core group of friends that he went to highschool with.  All of the men in that group are good guys and they are all very fun to hang out with and be around.  It is easy to see how all of them are friends.

Anthony is always there to make me laugh on the hard days, listen to me vent, and support my decisions.  He is truly my best friend and will be an excellent Dad one day.

Anthony talks about Sabrina…

If I were to describe Sabrina in a couple of words they would be thoughtful and caring.  She is always willing to help others.  She has many friends and always keeps in contact with them whether it be a phone call, text or having them over for dinner.  Since her mom passed away she regularly checks up on her mom’s friends as well to see how they are.

She is also very hard working.  Since the beginning of the pandemic we have had to work from home together and I’ve noticed first hand her work ethic.  She is constantly praised by those who she works with.

Sabrina has a brother and a sister who she is close with, including her nieces and nephews.  It is safe to say that she is their favourite aunt.  At family gatherings at her brother or sister’s house, Sabrina always brings a ton of homemade food like pizza, lasagna, or a dip to contribute which always steal the show.

Sabrina strives to be the best version of herself and is always looking for the good in people.  Having experiences and creating memories is a priority to her, and she thrives when she is around her family and friends.  She is going to make an incredible mom.

 Our Home

 We live in a family-friendly, ethnically diverse, neighbourhood in southern Ontario and are steps away from a park that includes a playground, tennis court and baseball diamond.  Every Canada Day, the neighbours get together and celebrate with fireworks.  It’s a very fun community to be part of!

There are also great schools nearby and a community centre where Sabrina spends a lot of her free time exercising.  We are also close to public transit, shopping malls, restaurants and libraries.    

We have a large backyard where we love to host BBQ’s for family and friends.  We have several fruit trees, including apple, cherry and pear trees.  There is also lots of room for a child to run around and play.

Our home and our community would be a wonderful place for your child to grow up.
