Meet our
Waiting Families

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

"A sailboat, or any boat in general. My family grew up with a boat and being "on the water" is where I feel the most at peace. During the summer, we actually lived on our boat and "sailed" from one marina to the next in the New York and New England area where we were able to see many different towns and boating communities. The sea air is freeing and calming. From a young age, my parents have instilled the importance of boating and water safety. Swimming and boating lessons were a necessity if we were to be on the water as a family. Being on the water isn't just an activity, it is an experience and to this day, brings me so much excitement. I also love boating because I know that this is an activity that Jackie also loves, as her family has generations of fisherman. Although we do not have a boat now, we hope to carry on our families boating traditions. We still enjoy water activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and just sitting at the beach, enjoying the sun and waves." - Caroline

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

"we live in the suburbs in the PNW. We have access to all kinds of parks, nature, and events, as well as living feet away from a highly rated elementary school!" - Steven

If I could choose one type of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be:

"Pizza" - Mike

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

"We have a strong sense of community in our small town. We can depend on our neighbors and they can depend on us." - Michael

When we argue, what’s it about?

"How to use a laundry basket. I think the clothes go inside, while he argues that they belong in a pile on the floor next to the basket." - Becca

Dogs or cats?

"As an adult, I have lived with both dogs and cats and have loved each animal. The curiosity and energy of dogs reminds me of a small child with all their questions. Meanwhile, cats remind me of teenagers: more emotionally separate, giving a vibe of indifference to their parents, but still worth loving." - Alex

Favorite season and why?

"I really love Spring because I love colors and flowers, also It remind myself that I can bloom after hard times" - Lorena Jiménez

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

"I consider myself spiritual. I was raised Catholic, but as I got older my views on religion and the Catholic faith changed." - Alyssa

My favorite place in the World is...

"home. I love the home that Bob and I have built together and the neighborhood that we live in. There is nothing more comforting than coming home and spending time cuddling with our two dogs on the couch." - Sam
