HELLO! We Are MIKA AND NATALIE
We’re hoping to adopt!
Learn more about us by downloading and reading our adoption profile book.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know us better.
We are an active couple and love to be outside riding bikes or atvs,
jet-skiing, or just working in the yard.
When we talked about having children together, we always knew we would want to adopt even if we had biological children. We have two nephews who were adopted, and we are so grateful for the experience and our love for them. Despite the complexities of adoption, we have seen firsthand how meaningful it can be for everyone involved. Mika cannot wait to have a child she can share her love of sports with, and Natalie is excited to have someone to cook with and read bedtime stories to.
OUR STORY
WE GREW UP 7 MILES FROM EACH OTHER, AND WE KNEW ABOUT EACH OTHER BUT HAD NEVER REALLY TALKED.
It wasn’t until our mutual friend invited us to go on an ATV ride that cupid hit both of us with his arrow. We quickly realized that we were looking for the same thing, each other. We fell quickly for each other that Valentine’s day and have been inseparable ever since. Being together has made us better people and we were each other’s missing puzzle pieces.
“We believe a child should always feel loved and supported with the decisions they make throughout their lives.”
OUR HOME AND FAMILIES
We live in central Utah. Our home has been in Mika’s family for a long time; it was her grandparents’ home and where her father grew up. We have renovated the entire place and are proud to say we did most of the work ourselves. It is a three-bedroom, three-bath house in a quiet neighborhood close to our families.
We have 2 dogs, Roxy and Lexi, who both have fun personalities and love playing with each other.
we are close to our family, and we are always getting together to just hang out and talk.
We live so close to each other that they are always stopping by, and it is suddenly a twinkie-roasting party. Together we have 7 siblings who are married with kids. So a child will have a strong family support system with aunts, uncles and cousins who are eager for a new little cousin.
FUN FACTS
About Mika
A place I think every child should go to on vacation with their parents/family is Disneyland. I think my parents were more excited than I was to be there.
My perfect day is relaxing at the baseball park watching a baseball game.
My dad bought me my first book when I was young and my parents would read to me, it was a Sesame Street Cookie Monster book. I still have that book today and can’t wait to read it to my kid.
About Natalie
Favorite Animal: My favorite animal would have to be my dogs. My friends always tell me if they were a dog they would want to be one of mine.
Can’t live without: Books, I love to read.
Dessert: When Mika and I first started dating every Sunday was ice cream day we would put Caramel chocolate, and whipped topping on it. So good!
IN CLOSING
THANK YOU for taking the time to learn more about us!
We are hopeful this gave you a glimpse into our lives. We promise to love a child unconditionally and incorporate any traditions you would like to share with us to pass on to them. We will model kindness, courage and strength. We will raise them to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up for what they believe in. We hope to have a chance to get to know you better and build a relationship with you.
