Meet the Families

Our Story
Our journey began at college in Boston, where we both studied Communications. Although we can’t pinpoint the exact moment we met, our paths crossed frequently in classes and through mutual friends. Over time, our friendship blossomed into something more.
We spent countless hours exploring the city together, strolling through the Common, indulging in pastries at Bova’s Bakery, and enjoying movie nights in Jenny’s cozy apartment. Whether it was navigating internships or enduring the city’s infamous subway rides, we found comfort and excitement in each other’s company.
After college, we moved to a nearby community with a group of close friends, sharing seven wonderful years filled with laughter and growth. Ten years into our relationship, Trey proposed in the most heartfelt way: he built a pillow fort adorned with twinkling lights, with our favorite movie, Moonrise Kingdom, projected on the wall. It was intimate, magical, and perfectly “us.”

Our Home & Life Together
We live in a vibrant multicultural neighborhood in Massachusetts. We live directly next to a beautiful park with a playground, down the street from an elementary school, and we are a 20-minute walk to the beach. We are a short drive from Boston and love to visit our old stomping grounds. Our home offers ample space for a child to learn, play, and grow.
Our life is filled with warmth, laughter, and a lot of love. We love cozy nights in with our dog Binx, watching horror movies or bad reality TV. On weekends, you might find us exploring antique shops or playing vintage arcade games on impromptu trips around New England. We’re involved in a lot of justice and social advocacy work – attending rallies, grassroots organizing, and volunteering for causes we believe in. These are values we hope to share with our future child.
We hope to build a home that encourages curiosity, compassion, and creativity. We want our future child to know that they are deeply loved and supported, not just by us, but by the amazing community of family and friends who surround us. As a queer, mixed-race couple, we believe in celebrating individuality and independence, while also nurturing the bonds that bring us together as a family.

Meet Trey 🏰📚🍪
Career: IT Software Distribution Specialist
Hobbies: Reading sci-fi and thrillers, Disney lover, going to the movies, thrifting or finding classic retro clothes on eBay, American traditional tattoos.
Through Jenny’s Eyes
Trey is my rock and my calm in the storm. His thoughtful nature and gentle demeanor balance my energetic spirit perfectly. He’s the type of person who shows his love through acts of service—whether it’s organizing our home or surprising me with little gestures (like notes in my lunch for work) that make everyday life special. His compassion knows no bounds, and I know he’ll bring that same love and patience to parenting.
Fun Facts
- Collects fridge magnets everywhere we travel
- Played Quidditch in college (any Harry Potter nerds out here?)
- Grew up bicoastal between Massachusetts and Southern California
- Mixed race and very proud of his CHamoru heritage (Pacific Islander). Trey likes to make a traditional CHamoru sauce called fina’dene (pronounced fina-dinay) that we eat over rice and cucumber. He learned a few CHamoru words from his dad growing up, but he continues to pursue learning more about the dying language and culture of the island.

Our Family & Friends
We are so lucky to have the love and support of a beautiful community of family and friends. Everyone has been so supportive of our dream of becoming parents. Trey’s Mom, Jenny’s Dad, Jenny’s Aunt, Uncle, Cousin, Brother, Sister-in-law, niece, and nephew are all within driving distance and we get together often (usually over lots of food). Trey’s brother lives in California and we make regular trips there to see him. Our friends are like family to us, and we are so lucky to have many close friendships. Most of our friends have babies or toddlers right now, a new baby would fit right into the pack!
