Our names are Raul Natal and Jon Pohlers. We have been together 25 years, and believe that everyone deserves to be loved unconditionally. Both of our parents have been together 55 plus years , and we have a strong sense of the importance of a family. We believe that learning happens both in and out of school, and like to go to events that happen within our community. We always celebrate birthdays with our extended family, as well as Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Eve, 4th of July. Family milestones are important, and we like to attend all school events for our extended family when possible. Jon is 50 years old and I (Raul) 54 years old. We have one child who is 14 years old.

Raul works full-time for Southwest Airlines as a flight attendant for 23 years and has a very flexible work schedule with an average of 16 to 18 days off a month.

Jon works full-time at Meridien Research that provides patients and families in Central Florida an opportunity to take part in clinical research trials for a wide variety of medical conditions and has a Monday-Friday / flexible work schedule.
