Hello, thank you for taking the time to learn about us. Although we can’t imagine what you have been through, the decision to consider an adoption plan is one of courage and love. We would be honored if you allowed us the opportunity to parent your child. We promise to do everything we can to give your child a comfortable, loving, and supportive life.

​

Our story begins 10 years ago in our college cafeteria when Danna and Nate worked the pizza oven. We bonded over our love of food, animals, and exploring different cultures. We lived in our college town, Rohnert Park, Danna’s hometown, Ventura, and we eventually settled in the Monterey Peninsula. We got married in 2022.

​

Danna

Danna is a compassionate wife and dog mom to our pup, Luna. Danna has worked as a sixth-grade teacher in a public school, a mindfulness instructor for kids, and eventually a Pilates and yoga Instructor. A certified “yogi,” Danna embodies spirituality and mindfulness. She adores children and wants to introduce our child to a safe and healthy lifestyle with lots of love and play. Her favorite activities are walking the beach with her dog, Luna, laughing, meditating, and cooking.

Nate

Nate is caring, supportive, and thoughtful. Nate channels his selfless nature into his work in the hospitality industry at Pebble Beach where he works as a VIP Coordinator. He loves spending time outdoors, hiking, and playing golf. He’s excited to be able to play in the backyard with our future child and teach them all kinds of sports. Nate also loves to cook and provides for those he cherishes. He aims to make someone else’s day just a little bit brighter. As a dad, Nate will always be up for silly games, adventures, and smiles. Not to mention, he’s already got the dad jokes down.

Our Life

Together, we love to explore. Vacationing to different cities is a valuable tradition we cherish. We love going to concerts, our favorite being Elton John. We also enjoy going on hikes nearby and then playing video games together in our living room. Most of all, we love food. We hold reverence to family recipes and make homemade pizza every Monday evening. Recently, we fell in love with a home in a quiet residential neighborhood in Salinas, intending to raise children. Our tree-lined street has lots of families with young children who ride bikes and play in their yards. By walking 20 minutes, we can reach downtown with plenty of cute coffee shops and restaurants. Hiking trails and parks are abundant in our area, and you can spot us there at least once a week. On weekends, we enjoy having coffee in bed, making pancakes, walking on the nearby beaches, strolling through the farmers market, and cooking while Luna does the “housekeeping,” (eating scraps off the kitchen floor.) We also love to be creative together and paint nights in our sunroom. On rainy days we like cuddling up on the couch and watching a comedy or The Office for the billionth time.

​

Thank you for taking the time to read our letter. We believe in an open adoption; the more people that love your child, the better. Our commitment to you is that your child will always know their birth story and your act of tremendous care. Your child deserves nothing less than unconditional love and support.
