Nick & Maddie Are Hoping to Adopt!

Maddie & Nick

Dear Birthmother, Thank you very much for taking the time to read our family profile! While we know life is much more than pictures and words, we hope what you have here will paint a description of our family and what makes us special.

Maddie: My name is Maddie, and I’m thrilled you chose to read through our profile! I’ve always had a burning desire to raise a child and pass on my experiences to them. I’ve mentored and coached many people throughout my life and find the process of nurturing and teaching to be incredibly fulfilling. I look forward to coming home from work and seeing the smiling face our child!

Nick: My name is Nick, it is a pleasure to meet you! I am very excited to be on our adoption journey. I’ve always wanted to be a parent, ever since I discovered my love of teaching. While my career path as an adult took a different turn, I never lost my love to care and nurture someone to their full potential. I look forward to being able to see my child learn, grow, and enjoy life!

About Us

We describe ourselves as understanding, fun-loving, and hard-working. We value happiness above all and work hard to achieve our goals. We strive to maintain a positive attitude and an optimistic outlook for our future. We both come from loving, close-knit families. Maddie’s mom is a pillar in our lives, while Nick’s family forms the walls and ceiling of our support structure.

We have been together for 5 years and are only getting stronger. We met online, as most people do nowadays. After talking for a bit we met in person and quickly realized this dynamic was something special. We complement each other, filling in the gaps that we each lack. We are both very open with communication between us, and we talk things through as much as possible.

We have many shared values, and respect each other’s differences. The same applies to our interests and hobbies. While we both lean towards artistic activities, we cover a large range of hobbies. Maddie loves music and woodworking, while Nick paints and writes. We try to stay active and maintain a steady line of good health. Financially we put our needs first, focusing on saving money second, then use what’s left to enjoy life.

Maddie Maddie is as steadfast and determined as I’ve ever met. Once she sets her sights on something, she works tirelessly to complete it. She also keeps me grounded, and is there to remind me to take a breath and enjoy the day.

Work hard, play hard is how Maddie lives her life. She is intelligent and ambitious, and talks about how she wants to see our child succeed.

However she knows the importance of relaxing and having fun, and she knows what its like to be pushed too hard into something. I believe these qualities will make her an amazing mother who proudly supports and helps her child grow and become successful in whatever they choose.

I work in credit card processing, and it is my job to make sure the credit card machines all throughout the county continue accepting credit cards.

While I find the job to be repetitive at times, I give it my all since I strive to move up in the company to other positions. I’m determined to make my way up the ladder into a position I can find more fulfilling one day soon.

Nick

Nick is a hardworking man with a heart of gold. He comes from a family that appreciates the value of a hard day’s work, but also understands the importance of spending time together. He is organized and regimented; he is able to systemically plan out how to achieve the goals he sets for himself.

In addition to all of that, he is kind and nurturing. He has a fun whimsical side that manages to retain much of its youthful splendor. Nick is going to be an absolutely fantastic father due to his work-life balance.

I work as a help desk technician, supporting hundreds of employees and ensuring they can continue performing their jobs. In addition, I train new hires and work as a point of contact for my department. Being able to help people and, more important, train them in new procedures really makes me feel like I’m making a difference every day!

Our Family

Maddie: My side of the family, the Bold family, is small but strong. My mom is a pillar in our lives, and is an exceptional woman who raised both my brother and I as a single parent. She is selfless, kind, and funny. She is always learning new things and truly knows how to find enjoyment in anything.

My brother is very athletic and works as a school teacher. My grandmother lives with them and is a wealth of stories and recipes. Food is important to my family, and we always celebrate occasions with delicious homecooked meals!

Nick: My side, the Evans family, may seem small at first glance, but we have a large extended family spanning all ages. My parents have been married for over 30 years and are still going strong. I have a younger sister and a 2 year old nephew, who is full of energy and happiness. My family is very close, seeing each other at least once or twice a month, and we are always there to help each other whenever we need it. We celebrate every occasion and enjoy having bonfires outside during the summer and autumn.

I see my extended family throughout the year, for holidays and birthdays. As the years go on, more and more people get married and kids are born, meaning the family is growing and there’s always something going on!

We’re very close to my cousin Chris and his wife Jen. We see them much more frequently and love having game nights together.

Our Pets

We have 2 pets in our family. Alorus is our 9 year old cat that Nick rescued roughly 7 years ago. She can be a bit aloof, keeping to herself mostly, but she is very vocal and cuddly when she wants to be. At night she comes alive, racing around the house, playing with her toys, and finally cuddling up with us on the bed. Mishka is our 2 year old dog, still a big puppy. She has boundless energy and loves to run around the backyard. She’s a sweetheart and absolutely loves when we have company over. The more people to play with, the better!

Leisure

Maddie: I am very musically inclined. I play both the cello and keyboard and have for almost my entire life. I almost always have music playing throughout the house, and my musical tastes range from classical to heavy metal. I also enjoy building and wood-working, and have recently restored quite a few cabinets and shelves for our home.

Nick: I also lean towards the arts and crafts with my hobbies. I spend my free time hobby painting and bring the pieces to life with vibrant detail. I love to sit in my hammock outside on a warm day and get lost in a good book. In order to get active, I play disc golf. It gives me a chance to walk around the beautiful parks we live near!

Together: We play board games, video games, and enjoying gardening. Our leisure time is spent flexing our minds more than our muscles, however that’s not to say we don’t exercise as well. Maddie swam for her whole adolescent/young adult life, and Nick played a variety of sports up through college, including basketball and volleyball. We run around outside with our dog, Mishka, and play backyard sports during the summer at family events.

Our Home Over a year ago we moved to our house, in an average American suburb. We live roughly 30 minutes from Philadelphia, a major city, yet where we are is full of lush green fields and trees lining almost every street. Within 10 minutes we have a vast array of restaurants, stores, and activities, however sitting outside at night you hear nothing but crickets. When moving, we made sure to pick a good school district and many close parks, some even within walking distance of our house. Speaking of which, the house is a nicely sized, 3 bedroom home with a large, fenced in backyard. We have plenty of space to grow our family for years to come!
