Meet our
Waiting Families

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

"Yes. Jean would be a loving and caring big sister. She is very nurturing by nature and is always taking care of her pets." - Chad

Dogs or cats?

"I love both, but I have always had cats. Because they are loving, sweet, independent and I dont feel guilty like leaving a dog. But I do regularly dog sit the best and cutest Golden Doodle!" - Linsey

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

"there are lots of parks within walking distance and we have a great elementary school near us." - Sarah

If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...

"My grandparents. All of my grandparents have passed and I miss them a lot. They were a big part of my life growing up and oh how I wish I could ask them some questions about horses, raising kids and just overall life help." - Cassidy

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

"Why don't I do this more often? ... I love to be in an area without light pollution and to be able to appreciate the vastness of the night sky. It's why I love camping and hiking." - Javier

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……”

"air XD" - Josh

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

"Yes. He wants a sibling more than anything" - Ian

Favorite season and why?

"Definitely the fall! Halloween is one of my favorites, and I'm all about the pumpkin carving, decorating, and costumes! The leaves here in Oregon also are so beautiful, and the air smells perfectly crisp!" - Emily
