Hi, I’m Claire. I’ve known Natalie for over 15 years and have been witness to the beautiful, honest, and committed relationship she and Andrew have grown to have. There is not a more perfect couple. They balance each other and bring out the best in each other; and I know they will provide a stable, safe, and loving home for their future children. They are playful and will bring that into parenthood. Early in their relationship Natalie was overseas teaching English in France and she set up a scavenger hunt through their favorite places to surprise him in coming home for Christmas. She will bring that same level of enthusiasm and excitement to motherhood. I think Natalie was born maternal. While she is a class behind me in school, she always made sure I stayed hydrated and put on sunscreen, and kept track of, and asked about the small parts of my life others may have ignored. When I think about my own mom, I think about how she remembers the details of the stories and that’s how I know she’s listening. Natalie is the same and will provide the same love, attention to detail and care that she provides her friends, to her child. Please consider adoption to make two wonderful people, parents.
