Hopefully this letter will tell you more about us. Our names are Nate and Mandy and we have been happily married for 4 years. We always knew we wanted to have children, but we knew from the beginning it was going to be difficult. As soon as we made the decision to start building our family we went straight to a fertility doctor. However, after many tests and surgeries the doctor told us adoption was our best choice to bring a child into our lives. Even with this disappointment, we knew that God had a plan for our lives, and felt that he was leading us toward adoption. After looking into open adoption, we are sure this is where we are supposed to be, and we know that God already has the perfect baby picked out for us, and we are the perfect parents to assure the baby’s birthparents that we will love and care for the baby, and make sure he or she grows up knowing how much his birthparents love him or her.
We met at the college we both attended and where Nate now works. We were both in band; Mandy played clarinet and couldn’t take her eyes off of that cute trumpet player who kept showing off on the back row! We dated for over 2 years before we got married, and were married at the church Mandy grew up in. Besides making music together, we enjoy the outdoors and love camping, and we also love taking vacations, going to amusement parks, or just sitting on the couch together with some popcorn and watching a good movie.
