Family Description

Hello from the Ruplinger family! Laughter and love is awaiting our future child! We aspire to warmly welcome one or two children of any race, of the female gender, 4-8 years of age who are part of a sibling group or are twins. Nature, being physically active and sharing life with others are high on the priority list for our close family. Jennifer is a stay at home mom who excitedly participates in all aspects of her children's lives. Justin has a responsible, youthful spirit - bringing adventure, fun and laughter to his family and others. Dax looks forward to any opportunity to be active. Whether on the field or in the backyard, he appreciates the opportunity to participate in a sport or any physical activity. Dax can also be found pouring his time into a good book. Laken or "Lu", as she affectionately is referred to in the Ruplinger home, loves to play soccer, try her hand at drawing or a new craft. Additionally, she likes to play "house", Barbies or Legos. Both Ruplinger children appreciate opportunities to hang out with friends or to build a new friendship - relationship building is an integral part of what the Ruplingers do and value. Beatrice, an English Bulldog, was an addition made to the Ruplinger family in December. When she's not being snuggled, she's requesting someone to toss her toy or soaking in the sun in the backyard. Though not encouraged, Beatrice can be caught sneaking produce from the Ruplinger garden. Jennifer and Justin have experience in parenting their own biological children using structure, consistency, affection and joy. Character development along with encouraging strong morals and values are of great importance to Jennifer and Justin. Experience with other children in their neighborhood, school system, sports and church have further developed Jennifer and Justin in the exposure and development of nurturing children of various ages and abilities.
