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

If I could choose one type of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be:

"Pizza" - Mike

What is the best word to describe our family?

"Supportive. "Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something." -Walt Disney" - Audrey

What scares you?

"Heights. I don't like them myself, but what I really can't handle is when people I know are close to edges of high up places." - Duncan

Favorite season and why?

"I love spring. There's the mystery and suspense of wondering which flowers and bushes I've planted in previous years will return for another go around the sun. Then there's the joy of watching them burst into bloom at different times and in different colors, filling our yard with cheerful pinks, purples, and yellow, and wonderful scents. There's the hope and ancitipation involved in watching blossoms transform into the beginnings of peaches I can't wait to enjoy in late summer." - Monique

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

"Yes, I consider my self religious " - Manuel Rodriguez

When we argue, what’s it about?

"A lack of communication and we work to solve these issues together, as a team." - Sean Scott

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

"game nights with my siblings and their partners. Overall, I'd say that I don't have much of a competitive side. But I love whenever my siblings and I get together for family game nights. Whether we're playing a board game, ping-pong, pool, or charades, we can't help but get really into it!" - Sam
