Nolan & Heather

Hello, we are Nolan and Heather from Pennsylvania! We are an ordinary couple with big, open hearts wanting to love and raise a child with a sense of stability and security. We have been married for seventeen years and can honestly say we are each other’s best friends. We love doing projects around our hobby farm, playing in our yard, hiking to new places (especially with waterfalls), and being with family and friends.

Adoption was always something we considered, and after years of infertility, we began the process. We adopted our son back in 2020, and it has been the greatest blessing! We hope to grow our family through adoption again. We want to thank you for taking the time to read our profile. We are praying for you. We would be honored to get to know you and maintain contact through whatever comfort level you choose. Please continue to explore more of who we are. <3

About Us

Together we love trying new foods, hiking or biking a new trail, seeing scenic views, and just hanging out at home watching a movie. We love working on our garden together and enjoy planning what else we want to do with our small hobby farm.

Our week:

-We love sharing a meal as a family.
-We love exploring new places on the weekend.
-We love spending time with family and friends.
-Sundays are family days. We go to church in the morning, cook, eat, and play games together.

We enjoy our precious pets: two dogs, a cat, goats and chickens.

We have a large garden and fruit trees where we try and provide much of what we eat. We definitely value eating healthy and try to steer clear from preservatives, although we do love our sweets.

We are a multi-racial family through the adoption of our son, and we work hard to instill his Hispanic roots into who he is. We believe that our son and future child will benefit from having each other by being able to share in the similar experience of adoption.

About Nolan (By: Heather)

Nolan is a mechanic and enjoys tinkering with cars and doing other projects around our home, such as building, fixing, and making new things. After working Monday through Friday, he enjoys cozying up on the couch with us and reading. Nolan is the jack of all trades and can fix everything around our home. He is very intelligent and can teach others easily. He is the most patient person I know, and I can honestly say that out of the eighteen years we have been together, I have only heard him raise his voice two times. He is a man of God’s word and enjoys his Bible studies. He is a loving father whose face lights up after a day’s work when he sees our son. He provides our family with security and support and is always there when we need him or if we just want to snuggle on the couch.

Nolan looks forward to teaching our children Biblical values, how to use tools/build things, and being a stable figure in their lives. He is a great father to our son and is someone who our children will continually look up to and trust.

About Heather (By:Nolan)

Heather was a teacher before becoming a stay-at-home mom with our son. She currently works part-time in his preschool class. She recently graduated with her master’s in teaching English as a Second Language. Heather is a caring, kind, positive, funny, and beautiful woman. She has a bubbly personality and is always smiling. She loves getting to know people and spending time with others. Her family and friends are very important to her. Heather loves Jesus and is passionate about instilling a love for Him into our son and future child. She likes to stay active and be outside any chance she can. She loves hugs and snuggling on the couch. She provides our family with love, comfort, support, and stability.

Heather cannot wait to be a mom again and looks forward to sharing everyday life with our children. She’s excited to read and cook with them, go to stores, and watch movies together. She really enjoys waking up with cuddles on the couch and morning cartoons with breakfast.

Our Home in Pennsylvania

We consider where we live to be semi-country and semi-suburban because people and activities are nearby. Still, we are privileged to have farm animals and rolling green hills. We live in a culturally diverse area on an acre and a half of land in a two-story, three-bedroom home. We have a bedroom reserved for our future child; he/she will have a beautiful view of our gardens and the hills beyond our fence line. Our front yard is partially wooded with an open backyard, a large playground, a swimming pool, a hot tub, goats, chickens, and lots of space to play sports and run around. Inside the house we have a playroom that has a swing and trampoline, so we have a safe space to play on those rainy or too cold to go outside days.

Our Family

We have a son through an open adoption who just turned four. He loves: hot wheels, monster trucks, superheroes, animals, playing outside, and music. He is very outgoing, smart, and loves to make people laugh. He is SO excited to be a big brother!

Heather’s family consists of her brother, sister-in-law, niece and nephew, and mom and dad, who live close by, and we are often with them throughout the week. Heather and her sister-in-law get the kids together during the weekdays to explore the outdoors, and we have Sunday family dinners at her parents’ house. Heather has a large extended family that consists of aunts, uncles, and cousins who get together every other month to celebrate birthdays and holidays.

Nolan’s family mainly lives in Michigan and consists of his mom, dad, stepmom, three sisters, three nieces, and two nephews.  We love every opportunity we get to spend together and go out there at least once a year for the week.  Nolan’s mom visits our house frequently. We talk often throughout the month and consider them close even though we live further away.

Our families cannot wait to welcome home a child. Nolan’s mom wants to come and help out, while Heather’s parents can’t wait for more family dinner fun and cousin sleepovers at their house. Nolan’s dad and stepmom are already thinking of how they can spoil them!
