Ron and Lisa
Illinois
Ron (37) is a correctional officer and Lisa (33) is self-employed. Ron and Lisa say, “Big families rock!” Theirs is loads of fun and it’s a party whenever they go somewhere. Everyone asks about shopping, laundry and meals. Their reply: “We have a six-seater stroller, two washers and dryers, and mealtime is just like yours – we just make more food!” Ron and Lisa have a pantry that’s a walk-in closet and a 15-passenger Ford van they claim they use a lot. This very active house includes nine cats, one dog and two rabbits. Ron and Lisa believe pets are an awesome way to work with kids. Their home has five bedrooms, three full baths, a three-car garage and is full of toys, toys and more toys. The family loves children to the point that they own a daycare with a group home license. Between caseworkers, therapists and CASA workers, they always have company. “Don’t think we do it all ourselves,” Ron and Lisa say. An assistant they hired three years ago is there daily. This is a very dedicated, caring and giving family that is searching for the right children to add to this wonderful mix.
