Meet our
Waiting Families

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

"My family! They are my center of gravity in which my world spins around." - Chad

My favorite place in the World is...

"Maui! The sun, beaches and Hawaiian vibe. I LOVE Maui!" - 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

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

"Happy, healthy and content -- the same I would wish for anyone we care about." - Andy

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

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

"Involved in our life in some capacity. Hopefully, she will feel like a member of our family. I would love for her to be proud of her choices and living a life that makes her happy - in a perfect world, one in which we could cheer her on!" - Anjie

Favorite season and why?

"Winter. The smells are the best and homes are always cozy. The snow makes me feel like I'm in a new world every time." - 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
