Meet our
Waiting Families

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

"How big the universe is." - Chad

Dogs or cats?

"I love both, but I have always had cats. Because they are loving, sweet, independent and I dont feel guilty like leaving a dog. But I do regularly dog sit the best and cutest Golden Doodle!" - Linsey

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

"any pasta dish" - Karla

Favorite season and why?

"Fall. Because the weather is cooling down but you can still enjoy the outdoors. And things seem to be a little slower paced." - Calem

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

"It's quiet and peaceful. Our neighbors range from 80-year-olds who have lived here their whole lives, to young families who just moved in. In the summers we have block parties and games for the kids, and in the winter we have cookie exchanges. But our favorite part is having 3 parks within a short walk, where we take our dog Sheba for lots of ball throws." - Andy

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

"A sailboat, or any boat in general. My family grew up with a boat and being "on the water" is where I feel the most at peace. During the summer, we actually lived on our boat and "sailed" from one marina to the next in the New York and New England area where we were able to see many different towns and boating communities. The sea air is freeing and calming. From a young age, my parents have instilled the importance of boating and water safety. Swimming and boating lessons were a necessity if we were to be on the water as a family. Being on the water isn't just an activity, it is an experience and to this day, brings me so much excitement. I also love boating because I know that this is an activity that Jackie also loves, as her family has generations of fisherman. Although we do not have a boat now, we hope to carry on our families boating traditions. We still enjoy water activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and just sitting at the beach, enjoying the sun and waves." - Caroline

What scares you?

"Not bringing value or worth to a relationship or situation." - Anjie

When we argue, what’s it about?

"Me not hearing the question after 3 attempts" - Ian

Dogs or cats?

"Dogs! Love to cats too, but I've had dogs since I was a little girl and they have always brought me so much joy." - Emily
