Meet our
Waiting Families

Do I have kids? How do they feel about a sibling?

"Yes. Jean would be a loving and caring big sister. She is very nurturing by nature and is always taking care of her pets." - 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

The most special thing I own is...

"my spouses heart" - Karla

My philosophy on parenting is...

"You have to be adaptable. When you feel like you finally have the whole parenting thing down, they grow and change." - Cassidy

My best friend would describe me as...

"Loving. I'm very dedicated to the people I care about. I don't do a lot of small talk and prefer to really know how the people in my life are doing!" - 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

In five years our relationship with our child’s birth mother will…

"be based in mutual respect for each other, where we can hold each other in good faith and love our child togther" - Josh

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

"RV! Deep waters are scary! You could travel to the most beautiful places." - Elliot

What scares you?

"Loss of a loved one. I lost my dad in November of 2023, and as scary and sad as this was, I keep his memory by celebrating all the things he shared with me. Listening to his favorite music, spending time in gardens, remembering his smile, all helps me feel he is still with me." - Emily
