Natalie grew up in Maryland and attended Texas A&M University (WHOOP) where she met her husband Andy. They have four sons, ages 7-16, who will attend Second Baptist School this fall, where Natalie will begin her fifteenth year of teaching upper level English.
Natalie’s first experience with the foster care system began at a baseball field in Texas, where she and her family had an opportunity to interact with two little twin boys and their foster family. Natalie realized these precious baby boys were just like any other kids; they wanted to play and needed love. Motivated by their new relationship with the twins and their foster family, Natalie and Andy completed foster parent training classes through Arrow Child & Family Ministries, and before they received their first placement were approached with an opportunity to move to Boise, Idaho. Soon after this move, Natalie learned about the National Angels mission and started a chapter called Boise Angels, which positively impacts the foster care community in the Treasure Valley today! The Hedges family recently returned home to Texas, where Natalie continues to execute the National Angels mission on the board of Houston Angels.
