About Us

We have been together for over ten years after meeting at a local cafe while attending New York University, Nathan for Business and Landon for Education and Theatre. We have formed a true life partnership based on honesty, trust, respect and love. We both value strong family relationships and enjoy the support of our parents, siblings and friends in our plan to adopt. We look forward to raising a child in this loving and caring environment.

Owning our own business, started by Nathan eight years ago, allows us flexibility in our schedules. We each plan to reduce our work week to spend as much time with our child as possible.

Travel

We both love to travel and explore different places and cultures of the world. We have visited over 20 different countries, as well as many destinations in the U.S. We look forward to extending this curiosity to a child as we introduce him/her to the world.

He has also always been deeply enthusiastic about theatre - performing, playwriting and attending Broadway productions. He has also co-founded a non-profit theatre education company.

Landon has a great sense of humor and passion for life. He is firmly dedicated to his family and friends. He is creative and artistic. His sensitivity and caring nature are always present.

About Nathan by Landon

Nathan grew up on a farm in Iowa with five sisters. Throughout his childhood he was an active participant in 4H, where he developed his passion for photography. His other interests include movies, travel, technology, politics, meditation and reading.

Nathan is incredibly supportive, intelligent, very funny and easy-going. He gets along with everyone and can adapt to any situation. He is warm, affectionate, caring, full of love, and deeply passionate about his hobbies, work, and life.

About our families

We are fortunate to have strong connections to our families, who are full of support and acceptance. We were both raised to lead happy and healthy lives, and believe that working hard and having pride in one's work is most important. We will follow in these footsteps to give your child endless understanding and love.

Most of Nathan's family lives in the mid-West. We visit as often as possible, including our annual summer trip for his family reunion where we see his parents, five sisters, nine nieces and nephews and extended family.

We spend a lot of time with Landon's family in Pennsylvania socializing, swimming and playing games, with his extended family including his grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and neighbors!

We spend even more quality time with Landon's sister and niece, who also live in our neighborhood. We are thrilled to play vital roles in every stage of her development. She has been our greatest interest and delight since her birth and has provided deep learning and preparation for our own child.

Our Home & Neighborhood

The home we own is located in a diverse, family-oriented neighborhood, right outside of New York City. It is steps away from an amazing park which includes a zoo, lake, concert venue and various sports fields. Our neighborhood also includes top-notch public and private schools, many playgrounds and other recreational and educational venues.
