Waiting Families

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

"I would. I do pray and beleive in the lord." - Ashlyn

My favorite place in the World is...

"Maui! The sun, beaches and Hawaiian vibe. I LOVE Maui!" - Linsey

The most special thing I own is...

"my spouses heart" - Karla

If you had to pick a famous person to play you in a movie, who would it be?

"John Wayne because like most im a pretty big fan, most of my childhood movies had to do with John Wayne Westerns, and me an my older brother were always reenacting one of his movies." - Calem

I'm super competitive when it comes to...

"Games - any and all games! I love video games, board games, card games. A little smack talk is my love language. :-)" - Andy

Favorite season and why?

"Caroline and I both love the fall. The way the air smells in the evening, sitting around a fire pit with friends, days at the local apple orchard or pumpkin patch. We love the colors of fall and the excitment felt of the upcoming holiday season where we decorate and celebrate and spend time with loved ones. We also love fall because our favorite "holiday" takes place... HALLOWEEN! Every year for Halloween, we host a big party for our friends and their families. Children of all ages attend and everyone must wear a costume! There are activities for children such as scavenger hunts, pumpkin decorating, and a pinata! Our friends tell us every year how their children look forward to this party. Caroline and I spend weeks planning a theme and decorating, as well as coming up with new activities for the guests. This is by far our favorite party of the year." - Jacquelyn

We are the best choice because…

"We would love an adopted child fully and unconditionally, while also holding space for any and all birth family that would want to be in relationship with us." - Anjie

Do I have kids? How do they feel about a sibling?

"Yes. He wants a sibling more than anything" - Ian

If I could change one thing about the World, it would be...

"I'm really empathetic and having a big heart (though I wouldn't trade it for anything) means feeling big feelings when you hear awful headlines. I would say the thing I would change is ending violence everywhere, and wishing safety and love for everyone." - Emily
