Meet our
Waiting Families

Dogs or cats?

"We love all kinds of animals. We have two small dogs, Charli & Rosie, and a cat, Riley, who have become our world. We are so happy to share our lives with them and take them along to vacation or just include them in every day activities so they feel how loved they are. When we are not with them, we are sure to provide them with the best care givers. Because we have such a deep love for animals, it is common that while vacationing, we often look local wild life or visit animal santuaries where we can see as many animals as possible." - Jacquelyn

I would never...

"use physical punishments on a child. Studies have shown that it is always a negative experience for a child. Starting from a calm and mature standpoint helps the child create a more secure attachment." - Valeria

My best friend would describe me as...

"funny and loyal." - Mike

We are the best choice because…

"We like to have fun and love to teach kids about everything." - Michael

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

"I would pick an RV. I was born and raised in the mountains and to give that up would be torture." - Duncan

Favorite season and why?

"Although I like winter and spring, I prefer autumn even more. Apple cider and apple butter conjure up fond memories from childhood. The morning frosts promise winter and the potential for skiing. The shortening days mean I can stop worrying about outdoor projects and retreat inside. Of course, the changing leaves provide more variety of color than at any other point in the year." - Alex

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

"I thanks God to be alive" - Manuel Rodriguez

Dogs or cats?

"Both!" - Alyssa

My philosophy on parenting is...

"to provide unconditional love and support while fostering independence and curiosity. I believe in teaching through example, approaching discipline with empathy and patience, and prioritizing open communication. My hope is to create a home environment that nurtures confidence, stewardship, and authenticity, allowing children to grow into individuals who are true to themselves and deeply compassionate toward others." - Sam
