Meet our
Waiting Families

What is the best word to describe our family?

"Active! We love getting out, playing, walking and exploring new things." - 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

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

"My grandparents. All of my grandparents have passed and I miss them a lot. They were a big part of my life growing up and oh how I wish I could ask them some questions about horses, raising kids and just overall life help." - Cassidy

Favorite season and why?

"Spring is my favorite season. The days are longer and brighter and I enjoy seeing everything come back into bloom." - Javier

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

"A sailboat, or any boat in general. My family grew up with a boat and being "on the water" is where I feel the most at peace. During the summer, we actually lived on our boat and "sailed" from one marina to the next in the New York and New England area where we were able to see many different towns and boating communities. The sea air is freeing and calming. From a young age, my parents have instilled the importance of boating and water safety. Swimming and boating lessons were a necessity if we were to be on the water as a family. Being on the water isn't just an activity, it is an experience and to this day, brings me so much excitement. I also love boating because I know that this is an activity that Jackie also loves, as her family has generations of fisherman. Although we do not have a boat now, we hope to carry on our families boating traditions. We still enjoy water activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and just sitting at the beach, enjoying the sun and waves." - Caroline

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

"There are SO many wonderful families with kids and they are all involved in our little community. We have sidewalks, a huge park close by, and the friendliest neighbors that would help any of us out at any time. We're rarely out in our yard without having a good chat with one or more of our neighbors." - Anjie

My philosophy on parenting is...

"Give them the tools thye need to succeed but let them build their own path, while prioritizing safety above all else." - Ian

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

"I don't! I have a super well-natured and kid/baby tested dog. I can't wait to have a child to be at the center of our homes universe." - Emily
