Hello! We are Nathan and Abby, and we are grateful for your interest in getting to know our family. Our home is filled with joy and energy thanks to our two toddler boys, Sam and Ben, and our friendly dog, Holly. Daily life for us is built on our faith in Jesus, strong family relationships, and creating wonderful memories together.
We are thrilled to pursue adoption as we prayerfully expand our family. We would love to get to know you and hear your hopes and dreams for your child’s future. Our promise is to give your child unconditional love, unwavering support, and every opportunity to pursue all God has planned for their life.
About Us
We met at church before attending the same college and connected instantly over our shared faith and values. We got married after dating for three years, and stepping into parenthood has been our favorite season yet!
We adore our two boys and love watching them learn and play. As a family, we serve at church, lead a small group, mentor engaged couples, work on house projects, and spend quality time with close friends. Life with toddlers is delightfully active, and we can’t wait to welcome another child into the fun!
After two difficult births with our boys, we decided it was wisest not to have additional biological children. Through prayer, we feel complete peace that God has called us to grow our family through adoption.
We look forward to cozy Saturday mornings, playdates, teaching pre-K at home, cheering on our kids’ passions, and building deep community roots. Above all, our greatest joy is sharing the love of Jesus with our children and creating a safe, full childhood they will treasure.
My Husband, Nathan
Abby says: Nathan is the rock of our family, faithfully following God’s call as a husband and father. He fills our home with laughs and intentionally pursues deep relationships with me and our boys. He is eagerly anticipating caring for our future child!
Nathan loves sharing his interests of reading, running, barbecuing, and serving in our church with our kids. He is becoming a church elder, and leads a men’s Bible study and a small group. Working from home in sales allows him to be the fully engaged dad he has always dreamed of being. His daily presence is a true gift to us all!
My Wife, Abby
Nathan says: Abby is the glue that holds our family together. She supports us by working part-time, cooking us healthy meals, planning preschool for our oldest, and juggling our family activities.
The Lord has given Abby a strong desire to be a mother. She is patient, kind-hearted, gentle, and adored by our boys and friends. She is so looking forward to welcoming another son or daughter into our family!
Abby loves cooking and baking for us. She attends a weekly Bible study and plans preschool activities for our oldest. Abby has a servant-focused heart, constantly choosing others over herself. She will love our next baby with her whole heart!
Our Family
Our Boys: Samuel is bright, loves to learn, and enjoys all things Spiderman and dinosaurs. Benjamin is fun-loving, active, and loves giving hugs and kisses. Both participate in The Little Gym and children’s Bible study groups. We homeschool Sam in preschool one day a week while Ben stays active and is learning more vocabulary. Both boys are excited to become big brothers!
Extended Family: Abby’s parents visit weekly; her mom watches the boys two days a week while we work, and her dad loves to join in for weekend days of fun outings to the zoo, splashpad, and family trips. They adore being grandparents and love the heart of adoption. Abby’s sister and brother-in-law are training to be missionaries in Argentina, and we stay close through FaceTime and calls.
Nathan’s mom delights in visiting and making the boys feel special. Nathan is one of five siblings, three of whom are adopted. Adoption carries deep meaning in his family, and they treasure this multi-generational legacy.
Our Home in Texas
We live in a three-bedroom, single-story home with an open floor plan in Central Texas. We chose our home seven years ago with the intension of growing our family. We have a large backyard where our dog, Holly, loves to play.
We treasure our friendly cul-de-sac neighborhood, where families go on walks together and decorate fully for the holidays. Our community features wonderful parks, pools, and kids’ activities, making it an excellent place to raise our family.
Our Promise
We promise to give your child a lifetime of unconditional love, a joyful home, a unified family, and every opportunity to pursue their dreams. Most importantly, we promise to share the gospel of Jesus with them. We are committed to praying for your child daily and praying for wisdom to care for them to the best of our abilities.
We promise to foster a respectful relationship with you and always hold your place in our family with admiration. We will always share with your child how deeply loved they are by many. We welcome scheduled visits, photos, calls, and texts so you remain an important part of your child’s life and story, if you desire.
We’d love to talk or answer any of your questions. Please call or text Lifetime at 1.800.923.6784.

More About Our Family
Our Faith
Faith in Jesus is our cornerstone! We believe that we are all in need of a relationship with our holy God. As parents, our primary calling is sharing the gospel with our children and praying they come to know Him. Our heart for adoption flows directly from this calling. God loves every child, and we desire to pour out His love, care, and blessings on all children in our home.
Our Family Traditions
As our family has grown, we’ve cherished creating traditions that build strong bonds and lasting memories for our children. We can’t wait to develop more special traditions for our family as the years go on!
-Holidays: Hosting a neighborhood Halloween block party; running our family Thanksgiving "Turkey Trot"; opening Christmas gifts one-by-one while enjoying homemade cinnamon rolls; family Valentine parties with Valentine mailboxes filled with goodies; and celebrating Jesus’ resurrection on Easter by attending our church worship service and hunting for easter eggs!
-Birthdays: We love to go all-out and throw creative themed parties like "Two-Infinity and Beyond" (Toy Story theme) and "One for the Books" (children’s book theme)!
-Everyday Rhythms: Share nightly dinners, Saturday morning movies with Chick-fil-A breakfasts, "Monday Fundays" where we enjoy a dinner out and ice cream with Nana, and nightly bedtime Bible stories and snuggles.
Our Plans for Our Children's Education
High-quality education is a top priority, supported by Abby’s six years as an elementary teacher. Living near excellent public schools and a top-tier language-immersion charter school, we will prayerfully choose the best fit for each child’s unique needs, equipping them to confidently pursue their dreams.
