Kyle & Sarah

We began dating literally by accident. Thinking she was in reverse when exiting a steep driveway, Sarah drove into a friend’s garage in high school. At the time, Kyle was a friend of a friend with the right tools and skills to help. Afterwards, Kyle asked Sarah out. We watched the sunset at the beach that night, and gazed at the same sunset the night of our wedding 12 years later. We’ve been chasing sunsets for 22 years.

We always dreamed of a large family, and hope to welcome another child into our energetic, joyful, and loving home. Our floors are worn from little feet running around, our holidays are cozy and loud, and our days are full of happy chaos. We were lucky to have our two sons naturally but have not been able to remain pregnant since.

Our life together has been beautiful but not without challenges. We’ve weathered many losses and defeats, always doubling down on each other. As life delivers surprises both good and bad, our long standing love remains the anchor for our family.

We live in a small town in southern Connecticut. Our home is on a quiet street full of kids, walking distance to award-winning schools, beaches, playgrounds, and our families. We often bike to the deli, ding dong ditching fellow firefighters along the way. Your child will be part of the neighborhood crew, playing with friends of all ages, running through the yards laughing.

We designed our house hoping for a large family. There are dedicated spaces for your child to be creative, active, academic, and playful. We spend lots of our time together outside playing, planting flowers, or building snow forts. Inside, you can find us in the family room playing board games or baking something delicious with the dogs happily watching.

Our friends, family and chosen family are our village. They are ecstatic at the prospect of welcoming your child into the fold, especially our two boys, Clifford and Wiley!

Your child will see their family weekly, sometimes daily. Sarah’s parents immigrated from Poland and Egypt. They love to share their cultures through a story or craft. Kyle’s parents are Irish and Italian, coach football and bake a giant cookie cake for birthdays. Sarah’s brother, wife and two children are always rocking in family dance parties. Kyle’s older sister, husband, and three daughters (one adopted!) live one street over and all the cousins bounce around our yards. Kyle’s younger sister is the kids’ biggest cheerleader. We have many traditions, like pumpkin picking, Christmas tree cutting, movie nights, cookie time, monthly birthdate dinners, Valentine’s door hearts, and game nights.

Your child will have many aunts, uncles, and cousins outside the family too. Our friends will lovingly dote on your child from all across the country and the world. The people we love come from all walks of life, and your child will experience many different perspectives. Our friendships are built on shared values, like rooting for the Knicks, enjoying simple delights, and leading with full hearts.

Nurturing our children’s curiosity in new experiences, new cultures and different ways of life is incredibly important to us. Our recent family trips include Italy, Costa Rica, Bermuda, Poland, Wyoming, Utah, Maine, Vermont. Watching the boys run through Italian cobblestone streets spinning pinwheels and shrieking with joy is a favorite memory. We have loved hiking with the boys since they were in carriers - they now wear out their own hiking boots! Last season we skied as a family, a dream since Kyle taught Sarah to ski 20 years ago!

We will encourage their curiosity by revisiting some of our favorite places - safari in Kenya, beaches in South Africa, European Alps, backpacking in Chile, Parisian museums, Tuscan sunflower fields, and the Egyptian pyramids.
