Meet our
Waiting Families

Favorite season and why?

"Summer! Hanging out in the sun on long summer days is the best! My family and I always enjoy outdoor activities!" - Chad

My favorite place in the World is...

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

I hope our child’s birth mother is…

"Aware that she has a story, that this decision isn't looked at by the adoptive parents as an easy decision. That she is courageous, caring, and a wonderful person for choosing this path for their story." - Karla

Three years from now, I hope our child’s birth mom is…

"I hope our child's birth mom is happy and at peace with her decision. I hope she can see how happy we are as a family and how much we love the child." - Cassidy

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

We are the best choice because…

"We are the best because we offer love and stability in a child's life. The Child's safety will always be the most important factor to our child rearing. I not only want to be a friend to our child, but also, someone that they look up to. I have always dreamed of being a mother and creating wonderful experiences for my child and having a close and connected relationship with them, while also encouraging them to be their own individual person. Jackie and I both value the importance of education, creativity, travel and experiences to help shape the future of our child." - Caroline

What scares you?

"Not bringing value or worth to a relationship or situation." - Anjie

I would never...

"teach my child using the "sink or swim" method." - Ian

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

"I am definitely spiritual, but very respectful/open/celebrating of people with a religious background. I have friends of all faiths, and I think we all are looking for the same thing -- love, faith, purpose, comfort. I definitely believe in the magic of life. I've had my fair share of life bumps, but also there are so many moments that I met someone, had a moment, that just made me believe in the beauty and magic of it all. I feel that way about the adoption path too. I imagine that when we connect, it will be one of the most impactful and magical moments and connections of my life." - Emily
