Portland: The Perfect Place for Family

By Julie Davis, August 12, 2019

Twelve year old Jayden has two moms, and a vast family network of support. Although her parents got divorced and began living separately in North Carolina when she was small, her moms Anne and Wendy were incredibly focused on creating a world of love for Jayden.

With Mommy Wendy, Jayden enjoys cooking, editing music videos, and volunteering at an animal rescue shelter while raising their dog Monroe. With Mom Anne, she loves camping, biking, and testing out her growing skateboard skills while hanging with dog pals Sully and Ink.

When Anne had to return to Oregon to care for her parents, Jayden bravely learned to fly cross country between the two states on the month-long breaks that her year-round school schedule afforded. She learned to love Portland’s food trucks, the tree-filled neighborhood where Anne and her partner Lisa settled, and the city’s welcoming of diverse families.

This summer, Jayden’s happy worlds came together when Wendy found a job in Portland, and I helped her buy her very first house! And it’s not just any house – it’s a retreat under tall Douglas firs surrounded by vibrant hydrangea blossoms and blueberry plants – and it’s just a four-minute walk to Anne and Lisa’s house. Jayden is steps from one of the city’s most beautiful parks, her new school where she’ll start seventh grade in the fall – and her entire family.

I never imagined that not only would I be able to find the perfect, affordable place in Portland but also for the whole process of buying to be seamless. Thanks to Julie we have a wonderful new place to call home – Wendy 

This is a dream that came true! – Jayden
