Meet our
Waiting Families

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

"We love our neighborhood and community. We have plenty of stores and restaurants within a few miles. We also are surrounded by walking trails and parks. Our local shopping center has a toy store, ice cream, and a huge splash pad/fountain for Jean to enjoy in the summer. In addition we have a movie theater and Big Al's less than 2 miles away! We could not be happier in our neighborhood." - Ashlyn

My favorite place in the World is...

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

The most special thing I own is...

"my spouses heart" - Karla

My philosophy on parenting is...

"Sometimes you have to let them fail. You can't be there to warn them of everything. All you can do is help stear them in the right direction and be there for them, but ultimately they have to figure it out for themselves." - Calem

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

"Javier's short ribs and cheesy polenta. It's my favorite meal!" - Andy

Favorite season and why?

"Caroline and I both love the fall. The way the air smells in the evening, sitting around a fire pit with friends, days at the local apple orchard or pumpkin patch. We love the colors of fall and the excitment felt of the upcoming holiday season where we decorate and celebrate and spend time with loved ones. We also love fall because our favorite "holiday" takes place... HALLOWEEN! Every year for Halloween, we host a big party for our friends and their families. Children of all ages attend and everyone must wear a costume! There are activities for children such as scavenger hunts, pumpkin decorating, and a pinata! Our friends tell us every year how their children look forward to this party. Caroline and I spend weeks planning a theme and decorating, as well as coming up with new activities for the guests. This is by far our favorite party of the year." - Jacquelyn

We are the best choice because…

"We would love an adopted child fully and unconditionally, while also holding space for any and all birth family that would want to be in relationship with us." - Anjie

What scares you?

"Losing my family" - Ian

Dogs or cats?

"Dogs! Love to cats too, but I've had dogs since I was a little girl and they have always brought me so much joy." - Emily
