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...

Dogs or cats?

My best friend would describe me as...

If I could change one thing about the World, it would be...

"That everyone would know what it is like to be loved unconditionally." - Becca

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

"A sailboat! One of my favorite books is by a young man who sailed around the world in a small boat, taking time to visit people and places all along the shores of our immense world. He started this journey out alone, but by the end he had found his soulmate and many new friends. I'd want to be able to connect to people around the world." - 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
