Meet our
Waiting Families

My philosophy on parenting is...

"A child is a growing human being and not an extension of myself. They deserve the respect and acceptance to be exactly who they are. The goal is a happy child. " - Rachel

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

"Definitely a sailboat! I love being on the water. When I was growing up, my best friend and I learned to sail a small boat that we would take out each summer for adventures on the river." - Lauren

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

"No kids yet." - Lani

Favorite season and why?

"Definitely the fall! Halloween is one of my favorites, and I'm all about the pumpkin carving, decorating, and costumes! The leaves here in Oregon also are so beautiful, and the air smells perfectly crisp!" - Emily

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

"I would choose an RV, I hope to continue to travel around the US and North America!" - Linsey

What is the best word to describe our family?

"Loving. (I strive to be that for everyone, no matter who they are, empathy is one of the greatest characteristic of who I am.)" - Johnathan

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

"It will look however our birth mom wants it to look! You are your child's first mother and you know what is best for them. If an open adoption is what you are seeking, we will create a beautiful life for your little one with both of us in it! If a semi-open adoption is what you are seeking, I will send you updates on all the wonderful things our little one is doing! And if a closed adoption is what you are seeking, I will respect that. Know that the door will always be open should you change your mind. " - Tiffany

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

"Jennifer Garner - she is so funny! She's my favorite." - Jill

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

"Ooo! I have a fantasy of traveling around in a solar-powered RV with my child, visiting all the national parks, then driving down to South America. Traveling and living abroad has opened my perspectives so much and I hope to pass that down through the generations." - Ronda
