Holly's Parents

Holly with her dad at her brother Brad's wedding

This letter is to express our unequivocal and wholehearted support and recommendation of our daughter, Holly, and her husband, Nathan, as adoptive parents.

Our daughter has dreamed of having children since she was a little girl, and even with her little brothers she took on an age-appropriate caretaker role, always looking out for them and keeping them in line. As a teen, Holly was sought after as the favorite baby-sitter in the neighborhood.
It has been amazing to watch Holly with children. She is patient, kind, sweet, and funny – she has earned the nickname of Aunt Ha Ha. Holly loves her nephews and niece and does not let the miles that separate them get in the way of their connection.

As for Nathan, we could not ask for a better son-in-law. He is smart, sensitive and a great provider. He has been a pillar of support for Holly as they have dealt with the frustration and disappointment of infertility. Nathan has a natural gift for relating to children. At family events, he can be found down on the ground playing with his little niece and nephews. They affectionately call him “Uncle Neat.”

Holly and Nathan are both upbeat, optimistic people and lead active lifestyles. Together, this couple is just amazing. Of course, they have occasional disagreements like any normal couple, but they are truly best friends. They enjoy music, exploring new places, hiking, and camping. They love to hang out with each other, family, and friends playing games, eating good food, and laughing!

If anyone is in a position to adopt a child, it is Holly and Nathan. They have a strong support system of family and friends. Holly and Nathan have dreamed of being parents for many years. They have so much love to give and any child placed with them would be a fortunate child indeed. Holly and Nathan are committed to dedicating themselves, heart and soul, to a child. Any child would be lucky to have them in their life.

Holly and Nathan’s strong faith has seen them through some tough times, and now it seems their dreams are about to come true. We pray every day that it is so. Please know that if they are able to adopt a baby, not only will they treasure this precious gift so will we. This grandma and grandpa will be there to love, support, spoil, encourage, and of course give out kisses and hugs!

Sincerely,

Faye and Duaine

Holly with her mom...this was the day Holly tried out for Deal or No Deal.
