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

Dogs or cats?

"I love both, but we currently have two elderly cats who sleep all day." - Valeria

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

"RV - I'd love to roam and visit more national parks!" - Meghan

My best friend would describe me as...

"Open-minded. I love learning about everyone's differences and experiences. This world is full of beautiful people." - Michael

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

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

"I would choose to live on a sailboat. First of all, since the Earth's surface is covered significantly more by water than by land, there are more places to go. Even parts of the land are accessible by ports and rivers." - Alex

Dogs or cats?

"we love dogs and cats" - Manuel Rodriguez

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

"Taylor Swift, I admire her song writing and vocals, but also her humanitarian efforts. I've been a Swiftie since 2008, and am still going strong." - Alyssa

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
