Meet our
Waiting Families

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

My best friend would describe me as...

"Loving. I'm very dedicated to the people I care about. I don't do a lot of small talk and prefer to really know how the people in my life are doing!" - 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

What scares you?

"Losing my family" - Ian

If I could choose one type of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be:

"My mom's Shepherd's pie! It's covered in cheese and it reminds me of my childhood." - Stephen

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

"Neither is ideal for me! I would have to go with the RV. I crave stability and a steady ground to plant my feet on, so I would pick living on land rather than dealing with the constant motion of ocean waves." - Kevin

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

"The first thing that comes to mind when I look at the night sky is WOW. Wow because there is so much to our world, lives, and everything that is encompassed around us. At the same time, the wow is also centered around that although this world is so big and there is so much I cannot see or control, I am still unique and one of a kind, and me in that moment is something no on else in this world will be. Our impact is far greater to that around us, even if we seem like the tiniest speck in this world." - Jonathan

My favorite place in the World is...

"Really anywhere with Kevin...but...since you're twisting my arm-New Zealand." - Alec

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

"I would live on a sailboat. I would travel to multiple countries, eat lots of seafood, and enjoy being in the water." - Joey
