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

If I could change one thing about the World, it would be...

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

"How beautiful the stars are. I love living where we do because it's known for the night lights. I just can't believe how God created all of this for us." - Duncan

Favorite season and why?

"I love spring. There's the mystery and suspense of wondering which flowers and bushes I've planted in previous years will return for another go around the sun. Then there's the joy of watching them burst into bloom at different times and in different colors, filling our yard with cheerful pinks, purples, and yellow, and wonderful scents. There's the hope and ancitipation involved in watching blossoms transform into the beginnings of peaches I can't wait to enjoy in late summer." - Monique

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

"Yes, i consider myself religious and it's important to me and our family" - Lorena Jiménez

Dogs or cats?

"Both!" - Alyssa

My philosophy on parenting is...

"to provide unconditional love and support while fostering independence and curiosity. I believe in teaching through example, approaching discipline with empathy and patience, and prioritizing open communication. My hope is to create a home environment that nurtures confidence, stewardship, and authenticity, allowing children to grow into individuals who are true to themselves and deeply compassionate toward others." - Sam
