Meet our
Waiting Families

What is the best word to describe our family?

"Loving. Caroline and I are very affectionate with one another and our pets who are currently our "babies". We always want to show the people in our home that they are loved by cooking each other's favorite meals, playing one anothers favorite music, or doing their favorite activities together." - Jacquelyn

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

"my family." - Valeria

We are the best choice because…

"we can provide a amazing life for any kid full of laughs, a love of learning, baking, crafts, video games, outdoor games/sports, and adventures." - Meghan

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

Do I have kids? How do they feel about a sibling?

"We have five children between the ages nine and two. They pray every day that we will "find the baby we are supposed to adopt". They talk about this child as though they are already apart of our family. He or she will be so lucky having so many siblings to grow close to and bond with. They will never be lonely or bored. They'll always have someone to play with or lean on for support for the rest of their lives." - Becca

Favorite season and why?

"I love spring. There's the mystery and suspense of wondering which flowers and bushes I've planted in previous years will return for another go around the sun. Then there's the joy of watching them burst into bloom at different times and in different colors, filling our yard with cheerful pinks, purples, and yellow, and wonderful scents. There's the hope and ancitipation involved in watching blossoms transform into the beginnings of peaches I can't wait to enjoy in late summer." - Monique

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

"Yes, I consider my self religious " - Manuel Rodriguez

Three years from now, I hope our child’s birth mom is…

"happy, healthy, and achieving her goals in life." - Alyssa

My favorite place in the World is...

"Philadelphia. Whenever I’m coming back from being out of town and first see the city skyline, I feel an immediate sense of being home. If I had to pick somewhere I don’t live, I’d say Galway, Ireland, specifically around Christmas. Everyone is so cheerful and welcoming - Sam and I talk about going back all the time!" - Bob
