Hello!
We are Julie and Andy Monetti.
We are very excited and
thankful that you are reading
our letter. We truly admire
the courage and strength it
must take to consider open
adoption for your child.
We
are looking forward to
raising a child with the
honesty, trust, and love
that an open adoption
provides and we want you to
know that your well-being
will be our utmost concern
during this time. We believe
the journey we are about to
begin is something we will
both cherish for the rest
of our lives.
About Julie & Andy
We met four years ago through mutual friends and knew right from the start we made a perfect match. We
married one year later. We have a very honest, open and loving relationship and we would feel very complete
sharing this love with a child.
From the time we met we talked about the family we always wanted. We both
wanted to have one child and adopt another but we found we were unable to have a child. Adoption is a perfect
answer to our prayers.
We are both friendly and outgoing and love the outdoors.
We take as many wonderful and adventurous vacations as
we can. We live in beautiful, Southern California where we spend
our sunny weekends at the beach wading through tide pools, hiking
in the hills above our house or just barbecuing in our own back
yard.
We love to ski in our nearby mountains in the winter. We
dream of our own cabin in the woods someday where we can all
play in the snow and spend Christmas with our whole family.
We would love to hear from you!
About Andy
Andy is the most generous, loving person I know. He is so
positive and has a wonderful way of making me smile.
He has the most amazing amount of energy. He loves to
get down on the floor with our nephew and play trains or
trucks. Children are always drawn to him.
Andy loves the
outdoors and his favorite thing to do is hike up the hills
near our home. He dreams of the day when he can take
our child with him on daily hikes. Andy has a successful
position in the Aviation Industry. He has a lot of
opportunity to travel to many interesting places but his
favorite place is home. He is deeply committed to our
marriage and I know that his family will always be the
most important thing in his life.
About Julie
Julie is a very warm and nurturing person. She loves animals, planting flowers in our yard, decorating
our home, and spending time with her family and friends. One of Julie’s greatest joys is watching
things grow. Even though she has many nieces and nephews, she has always wanted to have a family
of her own to guide and care for.
Her witty sense of humor sees us through the challenging times
and our house is often filled with laughter. Julie is a Flight Attendant for a major airline and looks
forward to taking advantage of her free travel privileges so that we can discover new and exciting
places with our child. She is so excited to teach our child how to ski and can’t wait to ski together
down the bunny slopes! How lucky our child will be to have
her as his or her mother.
Our Home
We live in a lovely, sun-filled home overlooking the ocean in
San Pedro, California. San Pedro is a quiet harbor city about
20 miles from Los Angeles, 2 hours to the mountains and
just 5 minutes to the ocean.
Our Family and Friends
Andy comes from Minnesota where he has 3 brothers,
1 sister, and 1 niece and many nephews. He also has
5 godchildren whom he adores. Julie comes from Washington State, has 1 sister, 1 brother and
many nieces and nephews. She’s especially close to her niece and great-nephew and they’re already
planning their trips to Disneyland with our child!
We share our home with our
two cats, Kahlua and Cookie. Our neighborhood is peaceful
and safe with a wonderful park filled with swings, slides,
and sandboxes just waiting for our child. We also have
beautiful wild peacocks that freely roam in the streets!
We can’t wait to play with our child in the park and to wade
through the tide pools together.
We can’t wait to show our child where we grew up
and take our son or daughter whale watching in Seattle and boating with Uncle Bob at his lake
home in Minnesota. Our family and friends are so supportive and excited for the day when we have
a new baby in our lives.
