Hi!

My name is Natalie. I am 35 years old. I’m a teacher, an aunt, a daughter, a sister, and a friend – but what I want most in the world is to be a mom.

I am excited to meet you, get to know you, and discuss the possibility of being a mother to your child. I look forward to building a relationship with you as we determine what our connection will look like and what your continued involvement in this child’s life will be. I believe the best possible outcome for everyone involved is one where this child grows up feeling the love and partnership that will go into this plan.

I see children as whole people with their own distinct beliefs, ideas, values, and personalities. As a teacher I have learned so much about the different walks of life that people come from and how all of those differences add to the world we live in. In the future as a parent, I believe it is my role to provide unconditional love, support their interests, meet their needs, encourage their desires, and be there with them during the hard times. I hope to use all of the best parts of the way I was raised, as well as the tools I’ve learned through therapy and my own health journey, to create an environment for my child that is safe, consistent and loving. I look forward to meeting with you in person and learning even more about each other.

I love to see those around me happy. I have a circle of very close people in my life, and I take those relationships very seriously. I try my best to be a good human; which to me means respecting other people’s choices, encouraging other people, creating safe spaces for everyone to be their true selves, and advocating for people who cannot as easily advocate for themselves.

HOME

I live in Roseville, MN. I grew up there and moved back when I was ready to purchase a home. Roseville is a quiet suburb with all of the access and opportunities of city life. One of the main reasons I live in Roseville is the diversity. Wanting my future children to go to Roseville Schools due to their commitment to equity and diversity was a big reason for purchasing a home there. My neighborhood has a playground, greenspace, lots of neighborhood kids, and access to activities.

FAMILY

I come from the best family! We are very close. I have two of the best parents that anyone could ever ask for. They are always there for us unconditionally. We are very spoiled with their love, affection, attention, and help. They are the most wonderful grandparents to my niece and nephews. They love to have fun and be silly and spoil them in all the ways that grandparents should.

I have two older brothers and they each have two children. My three nephews and niece are my favorite humans. They bring me more joy than I ever could have imagined was possible. I feel very fortunate to be part of a family that cares for each other, supports each other, comes together when things are hard, values honesty, and shows unconditional love in the truest sense of the word. I am so excited to bring a new member into this family!

I have 3 nephews and 1 niece who are my whole world.

My family loves to spend time together!

I love to bake, especially for my family!

Being an elementary teacher is lots of fun.
