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

We are the best choice because…

"I believe we are the best choice because we are able to offer a loving, stable, safe, and supportive home where our child will grow up surrounded by opportunity and a strong sense of belonging. We also believe that our differences as a couple make each other stronger and better prepared to raise a happy and healthy child. We will also always be committed to an open and respectful relationship with you, ensuring the child knows their story and is always surrounded by love." - Drew

Favorite season and why?

"It's got to be summer! I feel like most of my favorite events and memorie are from summer- be it family reunions and camping trips, to outdoor concerts, or just picking berries and reading a book in the back yard. Every season has its own characteristics to love, but I know Greg and I are looking to sharing some of our favorite parts of summer with our future child!" - Derek

"What scares me the most is the thought of losing the ones closest to me. They mean the world to me, and the idea of not having them by my side is my deepest fear." - Zachary
