I have had the privilege of having these two be aunt’s to my four year old son Hunter. He loves them both very much. They are great human beings who are remarkable with kids. These two will make amazing parents and I can”t wait for them to get a child , so I can embark on the next chapter in their lives with them.

I would like to start off with Janel has been in my life since I was about a week or two old. She didn’t officially become my aunt until I was two and a half years old but that didn’t stop her loving me with her whole heart from the time she first saw me. My aunt Nelly is the most loving and open person I have been blessed with to have in my life. Threw everything in life Nelly has been one of my biggest supporters, coming to basketball and volleyball games, going to concerts, and coming to help me with homework when I wouldn’t listen to anyone but her. I know I can always go to her. There was one night my brother and I where at a babysitters house and out mom came to pick us up. When we got into the vehicle I noticed a weird girl in the passenger seat. Little did I know that she would be my best friend. That person was Shy. We became so close really fast and some of my best memories are with her. No matter what’s going on or when I know I can always call Nelly and Shy. These two have been my rocks in this crazy world. I can’t think of two people more ready and more deserving to be parents. I’ve seen their struggles with starting a little family of their own to add on to our big loving family. These two amazing people have been there for everyone through thick and I know that the love for a child or children will be doubled or even more.

To even begin to think of how I want to “recommend” these two has me at a loss for words. These two human beings are some of the most incredible people that I have been lucky enough to call my family! When you’re around these two you’re home. Janel (Nelly) has played such an important part of mine and my kiddos lives from the get go. She is silly and patient. And the one who is always the first to dare my boys to jump out of the hot tub in the middle of winter haha. Yet her hugs always seem to be the warmest. The day she introduced us to Shy was a day I knew that our Nelly Belly found her person. Shy is nothing short of amazing. She hopped right into the crazy ness and embraced us with love. If I’ve known one thing about these two is that they have so much love to give with the most genuine of hearts I’ve ever known. I know how much my family has gained from becoming part of the Anderson and how much they all are truly a blessing to this world. 10/10 would recommend this incredible duo plus the big amazing tribe behind them! So much love to you Nelly and Shy.

Shy and Nelly are two of the most deserving people I could ever recommend choosing to be parents. Shy and myself have been friends for over 10 years. She literally would not let me bot be her friend. She taught me what real friendship was and unconditional love from a person who Is not required to do so. She is selfless, kind and absolutely hilarious. She works in the medical field and chose that path for her love of helping people. Not just helping but she is one who shows compassion and love when there is no one left for the people she cares for. She has the most beautiful soul I’ve ever seen in a person and I’m so blessed to have met her and have her in my life forever.
