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

What scares you?

"I'm definitely scared of heights the most, and don't consider myself much of a risk taker. Other things that scare me: coyotes and random noises in the middle of the night." - Eddy

Favorite season and why?

"Winter. The smells are the best and homes are always cozy. The snow makes me feel like I'm in a new world every time." - Ian

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

"We live in a quiet, residential area that includes great schools, lovely parks, and family! We are an easy drive away from New Jersey and New York City." - Anthony

My philosophy on parenting is...

"to encourage a child's curiosity, support their passions, and provide every opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive" - Monica

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

"Definitely an RV. We purchased a small camp trailer a few years ago and have LOVED being able to explore the Pacific Northwest in our home away from home. There's nothing better than going to bed after a camp fire in the evening and waking up with a hot cup of coffee and the freshness of the woods in the morning." - Greg

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

"pizza. No explanation needed. :)" - Levi

The most special thing I own is...

"The photo on my desk of my grandparents dancing" - Rob

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

"Friends" - Matthew
