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

I'm super competitive when it comes to...

"playing Just Dance with my family." - Valeria

Dogs or cats?

"I love cats, but we're both allergic so we're a dog household! " - Meghan

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

"No kids. We hope to adopt." - Audrey

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

"How beautiful the stars are. I love living where we do because it's known for the night lights. I just can't believe how God created all of this for us." - Duncan

Dogs or cats?

"As an adult, I have lived with both dogs and cats and have loved each animal. The curiosity and energy of dogs reminds me of a small child with all their questions. Meanwhile, cats remind me of teenagers: more emotionally separate, giving a vibe of indifference to their parents, but still worth loving." - 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

I hope our child’s birth mother is…

"open to engaging with our family." - Sean Scott

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

"Wonder. I’m so fascinated by space and how vast it is. I have an app that tells me where the planets and constellations are in the night sky. I always find them when stargazing, which is one of my favorite things to do." - Bob
