Meet our
Waiting Families

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

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

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

"We have a strong sense of community in our small town. We can depend on our neighbors and they can depend on us." - Michael

Favorite season and why?

"I love winter. Things slow down and we can make awesome memories as a family in the snow. Also all the snow birds leave town and go south for the winter." - Duncan

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

"I would choose to live on a sailboat. First of all, since the Earth's surface is covered significantly more by water than by land, there are more places to go. Even parts of the land are accessible by ports and rivers." - Alex

Favorite season and why?

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

"Board games!" - Alyssa

Dogs or cats?

"Dogs! Bob and I have two rescue pups, Murphy and Ralph, who bring so much joy to our lives. Their love is so pure, and there's something deeply humbling about being the recipient of such boundless loyalty and affection. What I love most is how intuitive they can be. Always ready to offer comfort and snuggles when we need it most, our dogs never fail to brighten even the toughest of days." - Sam
