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

Favorite season and why?

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

"We live on a small farm with lots of animals to love." - Audrey

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

"That everyone would know what it is like to be loved unconditionally." - Becca

Favorite season and why?

"Although I like winter and spring, I prefer autumn even more. Apple cider and apple butter conjure up fond memories from childhood. The morning frosts promise winter and the potential for skiing. The shortening days mean I can stop worrying about outdoor projects and retreat inside. Of course, the changing leaves provide more variety of color than at any other point in the year." - Alex

Favorite season and why?

"I really love Spring because I love colors and flowers, also It remind myself that I can bloom after hard times" - Lorena Jiménez

We are the best choice because…

"I am an adoptee! We will be able to better guide, support, and help your child navigate the complex feelings and hard questions that come with adoption because I've already had them. We will love you and your child uncondtionally, as will our families." - Alyssa

My favorite place in the World is...

"home. I love the home that Bob and I have built together and the neighborhood that we live in. There is nothing more comforting than coming home and spending time cuddling with our two dogs on the couch." - Sam
