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 philosophy on parenting is...

"stern but filled with love and understanding." - Steven

Complete the sentence, “I can’t live without……”

"a creative outlet!" - Meghan

Do I have kids? How do they feel about a sibling?

"No kids. We hope to adopt." - 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

The most special thing I own is...

"a very specific tea mug. Most of my possessions have little sentimental value, including other mugs. However, a close friend gave this mug to me, and the text on it makes me smile. Later, another friend modified the text on it to make it even funnier. I no longer use it because of the delicacy of the modifications, but I frequently see it in the cupboard. It always reminds me of happy memories." - Alex

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

"Yes, I consider my self religious " - Manuel Rodriguez

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 neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

"There are a number of parks and playgrounds within a few minutes of our house that host events for kids of all ages. There’s a youth athletic league with sports fields nearby, and we even have a sprayground! Lots of the cafes and restaurants are well suited for families too!" - Bob
