Nathan & Abbey
Hello,
Thank you so much for taking the time to learn a little bit about us. We are so grateful that you are choosing life for your baby and we are extremely honored that you would consider our family. Adoption is a beautiful thing, but we understand that there are overwhelming emotions and uncertainty that come with adoption. Please know that you are in our prayers. Whether or not you choose us, or whether you decide that another option is best for you and your baby, we are praying for you! If you do choose us, we will be forever grateful to you! We will always tell our child of the incredibly brave decision you made for him or her!
Our child’s birth parents will never need to doubt how much we love them and the child they bless us with. Now more than ever we know that the entire adoption process is a special gift from God and brings a family together in a uniquely beautiful way.
Again, thank you for allowing us the opportunity to share a small piece of our hearts with you.
Nathan & Abbey
Reside in Georgia
Nathan’s Occupation: High school Spanish teacher & coach
Abbey’s Occupation: Lower Academy teacher's aid
About Us: Abbey was born and raised in West Virginia. Nathan was born and raised in Madrid, Spain and then moved to Georgia during middle school. We met in college in Florida when a mutual friend introduced us at a basketball game. After being “just friends” for a semester, we began dating. Nathan proposed right before graduation and we were married a year later. Abbey has a huge heart and is definitely a people person. She is very easy to talk to and makes everyone smile and laugh. She loves to sing, watch old movies, and bake. Nathan is hard-working, loyal, and passionate about life. He has a true servant’s heart and leads our family with compassion and integrity. He loves his family, Spain, and sports, especially soccer, and recently, golf. After being married for several years, we began thinking of starting a family. We both had an incredibly strong desire to be parents, and we struggled with understanding why it was not happening. After talking with some adoptive parent friends of ours, we began praying about adoption for our family. Little did we know at the time, but adoption was God’s beautiful plan for our family all along. We adopted our son, Cash, in 2018 through Family Life Services and it has been the biggest blessing we could ever imagine. It has been so amazing to watch the beautiful story God has written for us, for him and for his birth mother! Now, Cash is excitedly looking forward to becoming a big brother! We cannot wait to see how God grows our little family through adoption once again.
