Meet our
Waiting Families

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

"Yes I do." - Ashlyn

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

"How big the world and universe is. The starry night is so beautiful, it is fun to look for shooting stars and looking at all the constellations." - Linsey

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

"Michelle Rodriguez because she plays roles portraying women who are strong, selfless, and determined." - Karla

Favorite season and why?

"Fall. Because the weather is cooling down but you can still enjoy the outdoors. And things seem to be a little slower paced." - Calem

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

"It's quiet and peaceful. Our neighbors range from 80-year-olds who have lived here their whole lives, to young families who just moved in. In the summers we have block parties and games for the kids, and in the winter we have cookie exchanges. But our favorite part is having 3 parks within a short walk, where we take our dog Sheba for lots of ball throws." - Andy

Dogs or cats?

"We love all kinds of animals. We have two small dogs, Charli & Rosie, and a cat, Riley, who have become our world. We are so happy to share our lives with them and take them along to vacation or just include them in every day activities so they feel how loved they are. When we are not with them, we are sure to provide them with the best care givers. Because we have such a deep love for animals, it is common that while vacationing, we often look local wild life or visit animal santuaries where we can see as many animals as possible." - Jacquelyn

Favorite season and why?

"Summer! Long days, camping, hiking, BBQs, and all the things outside!" - Josh

My best friend would describe me as...

"Funny, loud, energetic, respectful and kind hearted." - Ian

The most special thing I own is...

"Photos of my dad, and a necklace my mom gave me that's engraved with a little note that reads: "to Emily, my light." I'm very sentimental and love things that remind me of people I love." - Emily
