Meet our
Waiting Families

Dogs or cats?

"We love all kinds of animals. We have two small dogs, Charli & Rosie, and a cat, Riley, who have become our world. We are so happy to share our lives with them and take them along to vacation or just include them in every day activities so they feel how loved they are. When we are not with them, we are sure to provide them with the best care givers. Because we have such a deep love for animals, it is common that while vacationing, we often look local wild life or visit animal santuaries where we can see as many animals as possible." - Jacquelyn

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

"I would choose pasta because it is so versatile and delicious at the same time." - Valeria

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

"RV - I'd love to roam and visit more national parks!" - Meghan

I'm super competitive when it comes to...

"Choosing the best ice cream flavor." - Michael

What scares you?

"Heights. I don't like them myself, but what I really can't handle is when people I know are close to edges of high up places." - Duncan

What scares you?

"Even more than my distaste for snakes, I am afraid of doing too little to improve my community. Many organizations like Boy Scouts stress that you should leave a campsite better than you found it. I would be horrified if I did not give my community the same respect." - Alex

What is the best word to describe our family?

"Resilience " - Lorena Jiménez

Three years from now, I hope our child’s birth mom is…

"happy, healthy, and achieving her goals in life." - Alyssa

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
