Meet our
Waiting Families

What scares you?

"Zombies and Vampires." - Ashlyn

Dogs or cats?

"I love both, but I have always had cats. Because they are loving, sweet, independent and I dont feel guilty like leaving a dog. But I do regularly dog sit the best and cutest Golden Doodle!" - Linsey

If you had to pick a famous person to play you in a movie, who would it be?

"Michelle Rodriguez because she plays roles portraying women who are strong, selfless, and determined." - Karla

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

"I have to go with an RV because for one I can get motion sickness really bad and second, I wouldn't say that I'm a big ocean fan. With an RV I can travel around to different places and be able to walk around more." - Calem

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

"Why don't I do this more often? ... I love to be in an area without light pollution and to be able to appreciate the vastness of the night sky. It's why I love camping and hiking." - Javier

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

If you had to pick a famous person to play you in a movie, who would it be?

"I would want Tina Fey to play me in a movie. She's delightful and quirky, but can also be serious, when needed. Her work has made me laugh so hard that I cried. But I also appreciate her sensitive side." - Anjie

When we argue, what’s it about?

"Usually about what to have for dinner. Or Ian's lack of hearing." - Elliot

My favorite place in the World is...

"Definitely home is where the heart is. I love being in my space and with my mom. Other special places for me are San Francisco (where I grew up), Scotland (a good friend lives here and I just love how green and beautiful it is), Mexico (I have a special love for it), and Mendocino, CA!" - Emily
