Robert by Nathan

When I first met Robert, I knew immediately that he was someone very special. He’s gentle and caring and has a sense of adventure – always willing to follow my whims and travel the world, but also perfectly content staying home tending to projects around the house and garden or cooking up one of his scrumptious meals.

His commitment to the children he works with in his job has given me insight into the patient and attentive dad he’ll be. He’s a favorite among the students in his school, always showing them some cool new piece of technology to help them learn.

Robert has never had a shortage of hobbies. He’s run many marathons and loves his photography and gardening. I’ve always admired his desire to immerse himself deeply in his interests and share his joy of learning. I’m constantly amazed at the wealth of information Robert stores in his brain. It seems he has a scientific explanation for just about anything you could ever ask him!

I know Robert will be a wonderful father, sharing his knowledge and passions about the world with him or her. I absolutely can’t wait to raise our child together.

Nathan by Robert

Nathan and I were meant to be together. Before our first date, we agreed that friendship was the most important quality we both valued above all other things.

When I first saw Nathan, I was immediately struck by his smile and his natural charm. While the movie we saw on our first date rated two stars, Nathan was Oscar-worthy material!

Nathan is remarkably tuned into the lives of his family and friends. His childhood videotape library contains plenty of birthday and holiday footage, but also an amazing collection of humorous skits he created with his friends and family.

Nathan’s family has a fun, creative, and artsy side that has been nurtured throughout his life. A child will definitely have lots of room to imagine and create in our home.

Nathan has a big heart that he freely shares with everyone. His incredible capacity to show affection for all living creatures brings a smile to my face. Nathan will be the type of father that loves freely. He will support our child’s natural curiosity and always encourage creativity.

Family & Friends

Having both been raised in New England, we are fortunate to have most of our immediate and extended families close by.

We have large, regular family gatherings to celebrate holidays and birthdays, many which are organized by Nathan’s amazing 95-year-old grandmother.

We enjoy summer adventures with Nathan’s godson Alexander and Alexander’s brother Ethan. We’ve taken them to farms, the Boston Children’s Museum and amusement parks.

Robert’s younger sister, Stacey and Nathan’s sister Kim are excited to become aunts.

Stacey, who works in law enforcement, has always loved children and will be actively involved in our child’s life.

We often take weekend trips to visit Kim and her husband, Brian, who live in a quiet and rural town in Vermont. We’re also very close with Nathan's twin younger brother and sister, Simon and Lacy.

We both feel that it will be important for our child to be surrounded by a large, fun-loving community of women. Nathan’s mother, who we see often, lives just 10 miles away and Robert’s mom is in Connecticut, about two hours away. We regularly take day trips down to visit with her and Stacey.

Friends play an important role in our life together both at home and away. We regularly see our neighborhood friends Geoff and Min for dinner gatherings, barbecues or outings around town. Our French friend, Delphine, is our favorite cat sitter and is always up for an urban adventure. Our good friends Paul and L.J. just adopted a son named Anthony.

Our Life Together

In our many years together, we have seen the world, traveling around Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia, the United States and South America. There are many more places in the world left to see and we’re looking forward to sharing those experiences with our child.

We both manage our professional lives so that we have ample free time. As parents, we would never over-program our child’s life understanding, from our own experiences as children, the need for downtime and play. We plan to nurture our child’s natural interests.

We were married in the summer of 2008 after eight years together. Our ceremony was small, simple and perfectly reflected our love and commitment toward each other.

Home

Our three bedroom home has a fenced-in yard containing a beautiful garden with lots of space for a child to play, in a town located on Boston’s doorstep with a beautiful arboretum, zoo, wooded walking trails, ponds, and a lively town center.

Just across the street is a very large park with a jungle gym, running track, dog run, and playing fields that are often full of children. The neighborhood school, within walking distance, is rated one of the best in the state.
