Meet our
Waiting Families

My philosophy on parenting is...

"always let them be themselves, answer all the questions, expose them to all things that help them thrive and learn, and teach them the importance of kindness and respect." - Erin

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

"My dad. He passed away almost 9 years ago and I would love to have another conversation with him." - Ellen

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

"My neighborhood is a close-knit, diverse community that cares about each other. There are tons of kids and progressive families. Everything we need is in walking distance; beautful green parks and playgrounds, museums, libraries, art classes, horseback riding trails, a zoo, pool, and planetarium. One of the reasons I chose this neighborhood was because of the bilingual school, which has an excellent reputation. Students are taught in English and Spanish and eventually become fluent." - Lauren
