e feel thank you isn’t nearly enough for your consideration of open adoption. While we cannot imagine the feelings and thoughts you must be going through, we admire your bravery and courage.

We hope to bring a sense of peace and calm to this journey and allow you to know that your child will always be safe and loved.

You and your child both will always be part of our family.

Matt and Amber Wood

interests & Hobbies We love to spend time outdoors together, & have some amazing memories of hiking national parks.

We are excited to share our love of outdoors with our child and have a goal to visit all of the national parks in America.

Amber loves to craft, read, yoga, and attend theatre performances. She has carried these passions from her own childhood and cannot wait to share them with our child.

Matt loves to ski, trail run, and do Martial Arts.

He is also a big Rugby fan, and is excited to teach the joys of these sports to our child.

about us

W

e met in the chaos of a busy ER where Matt, a Firefighter/Paramedic, quickly became smitten with a nurse named Amber. We both fell head over heels, and got engaged under the stars with a campfire and flowing river.

We are frequently joined by neighborhood children when we take our chocolate lab, Audrey, for a walk. Our comfortable two story house is on over an acre of land. We look forward to having nights of star watching with our child in the backyard and at our annual Fall S’mores party.

Our relationship has always been based on a strong foundation of similar beliefs, goals and dreams.

We both are blessed with flexible schedules, which will allow one of us to always be home with our child.

A special note about adoption: We have seen many beautiful families formed through adoption, and it has always been in our plan to build our family in the same way.

Meet Matt (By Amber)

Meet amber (By Matt) mber is an amazing fun person with an awesome childlike sense of adventure and creativity. I can’t wait to watch her with our child as I am certain it will only deepen and enhance this amazing aspect of her. Amber is an incredibly passionate person with a deep love of family. She is from a huge family the majority of whom live within 60 miles of us. She is close friends with second and third cousins, and cannot wait for our child to share similar experiences.

att is the most caring person I have ever met. He goes out of his way to make sure that all of his friends and family are taken care of. I know that he will do to same for our child. He is a natural confident leader, and provides a sense of security to all of those around him.
