Hello,
Who We Are:
We have been together for 17 years, married for 15 years. We can truly say we are best friends. Our lives have been one big adventure and it just keeps getting better. Our personalities complement each other perfectly: Nate is the planner, while Niki, on the other hand, can jump in with two feet and make adjustments as necessary. We love spending time together doing even the littlest things, such as sitting outside enjoying the weather, cozying up on the couch and watching a movie, or going for walks on the nearby trails.
Traveling and exploring new places some of our favorite things to do. We try and get out as much as we can and road trips are especially fun. We also love the magic of Disney World and try to visit every year. I guess you could say that we’re two big kids at heart who can’t wait to see the world through the eyes of our child.
About Nate:


Nate’s dad (Robert) and sister (Kristen) live in Jacksonville, FL. Kristen has the musical talent in the family and plays the organ at church. Sadly, Nate’s mom passed away but we know she is looking down on us and ready to be a guardian angel. Nate’s aunts and uncles live in the area as well. He has 3 cousins who have young children, and we usually spend holidays with them. We love seeing all of the cousins playing together. It sometimes gets a little crazy because the kids outnumber the adults.
Nate’s hobbies include cooking, attending sporting events, biking and working out. He can often be found in the kitchen whipping up our next meal, dancing along to music. He is looking forward to fatherhood, as he passes along strong principals to a child, while at the same time having fun and appreciating friends and family.
About Niki:

Niki is a 4th grade teacher at a nearby elementary school. She is creative, crafty, likes to learn new things, and enjoys reading everything under the sun. Niki finds fun and creative things to do in her class to help her kiddos learn. She has transformed the classroom into a mad scientist lab, Hogwarts, a rain forest, Jurassic Park, and Candy land. Niki tries her best to attend her students’ events and has even traveled to Florida to see former students perform in a dance competition.
Niki is passionate about learning, and empowers her students to reach their potential. She can’t wait to be a mom, focusing her love and attention on our son or daughter who will quickly become her top priority. She has all of the qualities needed to be a super mom.

About Adoption

After we married, Niki made a career change and focused on finishing school. It had always been a lifelong goal of hers to be a teacher and she had been taking classes while working full time to achieve her goal. When we decided to start our family, we learned that adoption was going to be the best avenue for us. We both embraced the idea of adopting our child and started down that path soon after.
What we have to offer as parents is our unconditional love, emotional and financial support, and a safe and stable home with strong family values. Your child will grow up in a home filled with laughter and silliness each and every day. We will give our child a life full of love, support, and opportunities to grow up to be the best version of his or herself. There is so much that we wish and hope for, but what we can promise you is that we will do everything in our power to give your child a wonderful life. Our son or daughter will know that they are loved by so many people and will grow up to be a very special person that adds so much to our world. They say it takes a village to raise a child. Your child will have that village, that includes loving parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends that are like family. They will have the love and support they need to have the absolute best life possible.
