Meet our
Waiting Families

What is the best word to describe our family?

"Loving. Caroline and I are very affectionate with one another and our pets who are currently our "babies". We always want to show the people in our home that they are loved by cooking each other's favorite meals, playing one anothers favorite music, or doing their favorite activities together." - Jacquelyn

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

"we live in the suburbs in the PNW. We have access to all kinds of parks, nature, and events, as well as living feet away from a highly rated elementary school!" - Steven

Dogs or cats?

"I love cats, but we're both allergic so we're a dog household! " - Meghan

Dogs or cats?

"Dogs. Our dogs love us." - Michael

Favorite season and why?

"Fall! I love how the leaves change color and the temperatures turn cooler. I love sweaters, hot chocolate, and the pumpkin flavored everything! I also love how all the bugs start to die. No mosquitoes or spiders for 6 months! It's glorious!" - Becca

Dogs or cats?

"As an adult, I have lived with both dogs and cats and have loved each animal. The curiosity and energy of dogs reminds me of a small child with all their questions. Meanwhile, cats remind me of teenagers: more emotionally separate, giving a vibe of indifference to their parents, but still worth loving." - Alex

Dogs or cats?

"Dogs and cats! We have an 8 years old cat (from Venezuela) name Cata and an 1 year dog name Nana we love both so much " - Lorena Jiménez

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

"I would pick to have dinner with Marcus Aurelius. He became emperor after being adopted by the previous emperor who could not have child. There were many Roman emperors who could not bear child and would adopt an heir to the throne. But Marcus decided to make his biological son Comodus emperor which would end a time of peace for Rome." - Sean Scott

My favorite place in the World is...

"Philadelphia. Whenever I’m coming back from being out of town and first see the city skyline, I feel an immediate sense of being home. If I had to pick somewhere I don’t live, I’d say Galway, Ireland, specifically around Christmas. Everyone is so cheerful and welcoming - Sam and I talk about going back all the time!" - Bob
