Hi Rebecca and Hillary, I live in Mt. Juliet and have three children two bio boys ages 16 and 12 and a 2 1/2 year old daughter who we adopted at birth through private domestic adoption. She is half Filipino. I would love to meet you both. Maybe once your babies are home we could get togather!
Good Luck and I hope your journey to your children is over very quickly!

Kelley

They do - that is who we adopted our son through. M'boro is just a little far to drive sometimes. I wish we could find more activities in Nashville.

Question moving to Nashville area

Hi everyone!

My husband's job has made it possible for us to move to the Nashville area. He has to fly out of the airport 2x a week for business but we like the suburbs and rural areas. I'd like to get some information from you...What county surrounding Nashville has the lowest property taxes? We do prefer small town life if possible.

Thanks,
Kim

Hi Kim, I don't know anything about the property taxes or who has the lowest but we are in Mt. Juliet, Wilson County, which is about 10 minutes east of the Nashville International Airport and we love it! I grew up here and my husband in Franklin, Williamson County. Mt Juliet has great schools, neighborhoods and although it is growing quickly it is still a "small town." I don't think I would move if given the chance, life is great in Mt. Juliet!

We lived in Dickson for awhile (about 40 minutes from downtown Nashville) - it has a great small town atmosphere but it is growing fast!

I am moving to Nashville next weekend. We are living in the Bellevue area - SW of the city. Would love to organize something - maybe quarterly? - so those from the area can get together. I don't know a soul in Nashville so would love to get to know some people.

Hello! I have been on the Guat board for over a year and never noticed that we have a local one! My name is Meridith and our daughter Kaili is 18 1/2 months old. We live in Gallatin and I work in Nashville. I would love to get to know other locals who have been through the same journey as we have.

Hi! We live in Mt Juliet and although we have not been through an international adoption, we do have a three year old daughter through private domestic adoption and would love to get together sometime. Just pm me and we'll see if we can set a date.
