We are a two-mom, one-kid interracial family living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Remy (long purple hair) and Lina (short black hair) adopted Elena (the short one) in 2019. Now we are hoping to find a match for a sibling! We are a home full of laughter, music, and reading. We have two cats and a small veggie garden in our backyard, where we spend a lot of time. A second child would join a stable, loving family with lots of time and attention. Please contact us!
Remy is 37 and has Filipina, Irish, and Dutch heritage. Her hair is usually some shade of purple and may also have glitter in it. She grew up in California (SF Bay Area) with a mom, dad, and sister who still live close enough to visit. Remy loves to be silly but also can get things done! Life is not complete without a checklist. She reads aloud (to Elena and at her library job) in English and Spanish with ALL the voices, and makes up songs frequently. Remy and Elena take long evening walks and say hi to the neighbors (especially cats). Her claim to momentary fame was appearing on Jeopardy! with Alex Trebek. She really likes folding cloth diaper laundry and finding secondhand baby clothes. Elena calls her "Mama".
Lina (short for Adelina) is 37 and Mexican-American. Her family (mom, dad, brother, sister) lives in Southern California, where she was born and grew up. Lina uses her skills as a labor organizer to represent her library colleagues with our union (Remy is a librarian; Lina is a library aide for the same system). She works part-time and is home with Elena most of the week. Together they visit parks, run errands, and ride bikes. Lina often has a bunch of projects to juggle, and as long as she has enough coffee she's ready to go all day! Some things she loves about parenting: introducing Elena to the ocean, playing hide-and-seek, picking blackberries. Elena's name for her is "Adi".
