Our Story
We are excited for our chance to grow our family through adoption.
We pray for you to have peace in whatever choice you decide to make for your child.
We cannot express our true appreciation for your willingness to be open to an adoption plan for your child. Our prayers are with you in this important decision for your child’s future. We pray for you to have peace in whatever choice you decide to make for your child. We pray and support you in whatever you choose, as we know it is not an easy decision.
We are excited to expand our family and are honored you may be a part of this journey. We want you to know that if you choose us to become the parents of your child, that we want an open adoption if that is your wish. We want to provide this child a loving and fun environment.
With Love, Nate and Joanna
We met in Las Vegas, NV through Match.com. Nate had just moved in for work and Joanna had already been teaching 1st grade for a couple of years. Nate sent the message and Joanna’s subscription was three days away from cancelling. He was her last shot at finding internet love! April 26, 2011, Nate took Joanna to ride Go-Karts and followed up with dinner at a Thai Restaurant. Nate was late and went to the wrong place because he didn’t double check the address. Joanna impressed Nate with how she wore the safety sock and didn’t worry about her hair. We got locked into the restaurant at 10:00 PM and sat in a booth while they cleaned for another 30 minutes. One-year later to the day, Nate arranged to have Joanna throw out the opening pitch at a Las Vegas 51’s baseball game. He proposed in front of the stadium, among friends and coworkers, at the pitchers’ mound.
We have just celebrated our 10-yr anniversary. Through that time, we have traveled from Nevada to Georgia, and now live in Texas. We complement each other very well and find new ways to devote ourselves to each other. We are travel buddies who enjoy camping, ballparks, Europe, breweries and most of all, family. Our four animals (Paouse [pronounced paws], SeeeTeee, Brewtus, and Blackjack) have joined us on our journey and make our lives full, but not complete. We have been looking to complete our family with some children. We are excited for our chance to grow our family through adoption.

Meet Nate
I’m old school in that the three things that drive me are my faith, family, and protecting the freedoms we share.
Nate is such a loyal and brave man. Dedicated: He has been in the Air Force for 17 years and is dedicated to make a lasting impact on the people around him
A modern renaissance man who is convicted in his beliefs and leaves a lasting impression.I like to think of myself as a jack of all trades. My thirst for education has led me to many hobbies such as brewing my own beer, hunting, working on vehicles, camping, welding, woodworking, gunsmithing, and so many more. I’m old school in that the three things that drive me are my faith, family, and protecting the freedoms we share. God has given me a calling for taking care of others in all that I do. Lastly, I’m known to be quite the character. I’m a practical joker who loves to be the life of the party and squeeze every ounce of excitement out of life that I can. I will be a good father, teacher, and role model for your child.

Meet Joanna
When I am not teaching, I love to read (my nose is always in a book), bake, play volleyball or soccer, and spend time with family and friends. I love to travel with my husband whether it is for holidays, summer, or quick weekend trips.
What I love most about Joanna is her sweet demeanor, selfless caring, and her innocence.
I love God and I love teaching. I have been teaching for 17 years. Currently I teach first grade at a Lutheran School. First grade is my absolute favorite grade to teach. I love being able to see the amount of growth first graders show in just one year. I love when they take off in their reading and writing skills. I love all of the hugs from students, drawings, and of course my students!

Through Nate's Eyes
An early Americana-style woman who has devoted herself to God and her family.The one thing that drew me most to Joanna was our shared love for the Lord. She is strong and convicted. My rock when I need her. I find new ways to love her each and every day. What I love most about Joanna is her sweet demeanor, selfless caring, and her innocence. As a teacher and a coach, she has dedicated her life to molding children and teaching young girls what it means to be a woman and a teammate. She is a traditional woman who supports me in all my endeavors and has made our house a home. She cooks and cleans, is a provider for others, and loves having people over for food and games. Joanna will be an amazing mother, comforter, and nurturer for your child.
