Meet our
Waiting Families

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

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

"we live in the suburbs in the PNW. We have access to all kinds of parks, nature, and events, as well as living feet away from a highly rated elementary school!" - Steven

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

"trivia" - Mike

My best friend would describe me as...

"Perceptive. I like to notice what people are good at and remind them at times when they need encouragement and support." - Audrey

Favorite season and why?

"I love winter. Things slow down and we can make awesome memories as a family in the snow. Also all the snow birds leave town and go south for the winter." - Duncan

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

"A sailboat! One of my favorite books is by a young man who sailed around the world in a small boat, taking time to visit people and places all along the shores of our immense world. He started this journey out alone, but by the end he had found his soulmate and many new friends. I'd want to be able to connect to people around the world." - Monique

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

If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...

"Taylor Swift, I admire her song writing and vocals, but also her humanitarian efforts. I've been a Swiftie since 2008, and am still going strong." - Alyssa

My philosophy on parenting is...

"to provide unconditional love and support while fostering independence and curiosity. I believe in teaching through example, approaching discipline with empathy and patience, and prioritizing open communication. My hope is to create a home environment that nurtures confidence, stewardship, and authenticity, allowing children to grow into individuals who are true to themselves and deeply compassionate toward others." - Sam
