Waiting Families

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

My philosophy on parenting is...

"Children should be explorers, inquisitive and experiencing things unknown to them. Parents should be the guides, familiar with what the explorers are seeing, knowing where danger lurks and where the explorers are safe to discover what interests them." - Alex

My philosophy on parenting is...

"Positive discipline, I've been studying it since 2013 and sharing it with families and I really love how guides children with love and empathy and at the same time it allow emotional conection with parents. I've seen and guide families to enjoy their parenthood and I would love that to my own family" - Lorena Jiménez

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

"I love looking at the night sky and when I look up it always reminds of how vast and beautiful our universe is, and then I start to wonder if we are truly alone or if there is other intelligent life out there." - Alyssa

Dogs or cats?

"Dogs! Bob and I have two rescue pups, Murphy and Ralph, who bring so much joy to our lives. Their love is so pure, and there's something deeply humbling about being the recipient of such boundless loyalty and affection. What I love most is how intuitive they can be. Always ready to offer comfort and snuggles when we need it most, our dogs never fail to brighten even the toughest of days." - Sam
