Welcome to our adoption journey
Lance and Fernanda Spratt
Hi!
We are so thankful you are here and would love to know more about you and your path to adoption. We hope we can be here to support you as you consider the best for you and baby.
We are *home study approved* and willing to travel, so let's talk!

Lance is originally from Iowa and I am from Brazil - we have been together for 18 years.
We met online as we both had just recently moved to Seattle and didn't know many people.
I moved here in an exchange program working as an Au Pair (nanny). During those 8 years I potty trained 4 children! Portuguese is my first language, however I have lived here just as long as I have lived in my home country. I look forward in teaching our child my native language and culture.
Lance was born in Iowa and was adopted at birth. He moved to Arizona for college and later to Colorado for a job. The same job moved him here 20 years ago. Lance enjoys football and loves to exercise.
Seattle has been home to us for the last 20 years and we love the Pacific NW and everything it offers. I work in HR for University of Washington and Lance has had a successful career in technology at Microsoft, and currently works for Amazon.

When we are not working you will find us exploring the city with our dogs Lola and Loki, planning our next getaway, meeting with friends, hiking and exercising. We live in the city of Edmonds, located a few miles north of Seattle. Edmonds has a beautiful waterfront with beaches, parks and an amazing community. Our home is very comfortable with 5 bedrooms, a huge yard and close to many schools and parks.
Lance is a sports and music lover and probably the biggest The Grateful Dead fan I ever met. Fall is his favorite time of the year, especially when the Seahawks and the Raiders play.
Fernanda loves to cook and bake from scratch (pasta and bread are favorites!). Fernanda grew up cooking with her grandma and love to share Brazilian cuisine with friends and family.
We like to travel at least twice a year, and usually we explore a new place if we can. We also travel to Brazil to see our extendede family often. We cannot wait to explore the world and experience different cultures with our child.
