Meet our
Waiting Families

If I could choose one type of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be:

"BBQ. I love BBQ’ing for my friends and family and love the way food tastes coming off a grill!" - Chad

My favorite place in the World is...

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

What is the best word to describe our family?

"Supportive. We are always cheering each other on through the good times and bad. We know we can always count on each other." - Sarah

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

"We live at the end of a dirt road in the country, surrounded by pasture and corn fields. It's the perfect place for a kid to be a kid – playing with animals, dirt and letting their imagination run wild." - Cassidy

I'm super competitive when it comes to...

"Games - any and all games! I love video games, board games, card games. A little smack talk is my love language. :-)" - 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

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

"I would want Tina Fey to play me in a movie. She's delightful and quirky, but can also be serious, when needed. Her work has made me laugh so hard that I cried. But I also appreciate her sensitive side." - Anjie

We are the best choice because…

"I know it is sterotypical, but we just have so much love to give. There isn't a day that goes by I don't think of what it would be like with another little one running around or exploring with us." - Elliot

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
