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

The most special thing I own is...

"the pillow that I used as a baby." - Valeria

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

"it's quiet but close to parks, schools, and a city. We're also really close to a lot of family and our kids will grow up spending lots of time with cousins!" - Mike

I would never...

"intentionally hurt someone." - Audrey

I'm super competitive when it comes to...

"Board games and sports." - Becca

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

"burritos. I lived in Europe for a couple of years and the thing I missed most was a tortilla filled with beans. So I learned to make my own! And I'm still making those burritos on a regular basis, swapping out new ingredients I want to try to incorporate the flavors of different cuisines that inspire me. I love to cook and try new types of foods, but I will always come back to my favorite, the burrito." - Monique

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

"Yes, i consider myself religious and it's important to me and our family" - Lorena Jiménez

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

"I would pick to have dinner with Marcus Aurelius. He became emperor after being adopted by the previous emperor who could not have child. There were many Roman emperors who could not bear child and would adopt an heir to the throne. But Marcus decided to make his biological son Comodus emperor which would end a time of peace for Rome." - Sean Scott

Favorite season and why?

"Summer! Though I love the crisp weather and beautiful colors of the fall, being married to a teacher makes summer especially special. I love that Bob is around more and that we are able to spend a lot of quality time at the shore with both of our families." - Sam
