Meet our
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

What is the best word to describe our family?

"Resilience " - Lorena Jiménez

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