Meet our
Waiting Families

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

"any pasta dish" - Karla

What is the best word to describe our family?

"Fun. We laugh a lot, no matter where we are or what we are doing -- as long as we're together. We take adventures, both locally in Washington state and traveling abroad." - Javier

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

Complete the sentence, “I can’t live without……”

"Fuzzy blankets and smelly candles. Even more so, my son and husband." - Elliot

Dogs or cats?

"Dogs, but only because our dog Melvin would be very upset to hear me mention cats! I grew up with both and love dogs and cats so much. When I was little I wanted to be a veterinarian and told my parents that I would be a better person if I had a cat. I was only 5 at the time, but they both swear that I was indeed a better, nicer person when I got a cat!" - Stephen

If you had to pick a famous person to play you in a movie, who would it be?

"An unknown actor. I want them to become famous because of this Oscar-winning role!" - Aaron

The most special thing I own is...

"My trumpet. My father got me my first trumpet when I was 12 and I still play it to this day." - Carlos

Favorite season and why?

"I love the fall! Cooler weather, football games, sweaters, the changing color of the leaves, and Halloween. It also means winter and the holidays are right around the corner, which is my second favorite season." - Kevin

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

"We live in a small but vibrant town. There is a robust downtown with lots of shops and restaurants balanced with a large park network, green spaces, and an incredible community pool. Our home is in a peaceful neighborhood on a dead-end street that feeds into a playground, community garden, and a lake with a hiking trail." - Joey
