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

The most special thing I own is...

"the pillow that I used as a baby." - 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 live on a small farm with lots of animals to love." - Audrey

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

"Happy, healthy, and confident in their decison." - Becca

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

"I remember that we are not seeing the stars as they are right now, we see them as they were when they emitted the light. Outer space is so vast, yet our tiny planet holds almost all of human history as we know it. But when light from stars that started traveling years ago reaches us, we get to see stars as they were in the past." - Alex

Dogs or cats?

"Dogs and cats! We have an 8 years old cat (from Venezuela) name Cata and an 1 year dog name Nana we love both so much " - Lorena Jiménez

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

"I would live in an RV for the rest of my life. I like the idea of parking one place, meeting new people, and learning about that area. Then being able to move on to the next stop on the road." - Sean Scott

Favorite season and why?

"I know as a teacher I’m supposed to say summer, but I like spring the best. I love when the days are getting longer and the nights start getting warmer. Sweatshirt weather is my favorite. Plus spring makes me anticipate the end of the school year, graduation, and the start of summer break!" - Bob
