Meet our
Waiting Families

What is the best word to describe our family?

"Loving. Caroline and I are very affectionate with one another and our pets who are currently our "babies". We always want to show the people in our home that they are loved by cooking each other's favorite meals, playing one anothers favorite music, or doing their favorite activities together." - Jacquelyn

Favorite season and why?

"The summer because it is so beautiful in the PNW. The mid 70s temps and all of the outdoor events are amazing." - Valeria

Dogs or cats?

"Definitely dogs" - Mike

My favorite place in the World is...

"Walking in the woods. I feel like I could solve any problem if I could just walk long enough." - Audrey

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

"We have five children between the ages nine and two. They pray every day that we will "find the baby we are supposed to adopt". They talk about this child as though they are already apart of our family. He or she will be so lucky having so many siblings to grow close to and bond with. They will never be lonely or bored. They'll always have someone to play with or lean on for support for the rest of their lives." - Becca

Favorite season and why?

"I love spring. There's the mystery and suspense of wondering which flowers and bushes I've planted in previous years will return for another go around the sun. Then there's the joy of watching them burst into bloom at different times and in different colors, filling our yard with cheerful pinks, purples, and yellow, and wonderful scents. There's the hope and ancitipation involved in watching blossoms transform into the beginnings of peaches I can't wait to enjoy in late summer." - 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

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

"I consider myself spiritual. I was raised Catholic, but as I got older my views on religion and the Catholic faith changed." - 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
