The Kalensky Family Profile
Chuck and I have been married for 25 years and have been trying to create a family for such a long time. We are a very happy, loving and a financially secure couple. Chuck and I live in the north suburbs of Chicago and both of us grew up in the city. We are hoping for a Caucasion girl between 5 and 12 years old. We will keep our child connected to all family members with visits, phone calls also other social media. The child will be encouraged to continue all religious teachings they are connected with.
We live in a nice, safe area that offers very good schools, a nearby park, bike trails, and a community swimming pool. We both enjoy swimming, and Chuck plays basketball, hockey, and most sports and is very athletic. Chuck is also musical and has enjoyed playing in a band for many years playing both keyboards and drums. I enjoy reading, movies and especially the Disney frozen movie as well as other Disney animated movies. I have been diagnosed with MS which has been stable for many years. I am currently working with a physical therapist directed by my doctor to improve my balance. I wake up feeling good every morning with lots of energy.
We both live a very healthy, active lifestyle. We are Christian and church is a very important part of our life. Chuck and I have recently retired. Chuck worked as a scientist and has recently become a certified Master Captain through in the US Coast Guard.
Chuck and I enjoy taking our nieces and nephews along with family and friends out on our boat in the summer. Between the both of us we have 3 sisters and 2 brothers with many nieces and nephews. Our family is very large and we are blessed to have all of them living nearby. They are all supportive of our decision to foster to adopt and will be available to offer assistance when needed.
Thank you,
Chuck &Diane

A child in our area may be interested in numerous outdoor activities such as biking and swimming.
