Person
Matthew Scully was born in Albany, New York, and still resides near the Albany area. He was 12 years old, the first time he laid eyes on the future love of his life. Matthew's greatest achievement was persuading his wife to marry him. By age 30, he became a homeowner. He and his wife couldn't have children of their own, but an opportunity arose for them to adopt not only one child but five children in total. To give you a bit of a backstory, the children are Matthew's nieces and nephews from his wife's sister who sadly passed away. Matthew and his wife decided that they would take responsibility and raise these children as their own.
