The Thibodeaux Family
Miami, Miami-Dade County · Southeast Florida
Updated 2 days agoWe are a household that runs on shared meals, weekend bike rides, and a lot of laughing. Our door has always been open to extra kids at the table, and we are ready to make that permanent for a child who needs it.

Considerations
We have dogs, so a child with a strong fear of animals may not be the right fit today.Our current work travel means a child needing round-the-clock supervision may need further discussion.We have a young child in the home, so placements would need to be discussed with that in mind.
