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

"stern but filled with love and understanding." - Steven

Favorite season and why?

"Fall for all the coziness and I love to see the leaves turn!" - Meghan

Dogs or cats?

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

"I would pick an RV. I was born and raised in the mountains and to give that up would be torture." - Duncan

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

"I remember that we are not seeing the stars as they are right now, we see them as they were when they emitted the light. Outer space is so vast, yet our tiny planet holds almost all of human history as we know it. But when light from stars that started traveling years ago reaches us, we get to see stars as they were in the past." - Alex

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

"Yes, I consider my self religious " - Manuel Rodriguez

I hope our child’s birth mother is…

"Kind, open, and accepting of our family." - Alyssa

Favorite season and why?

"I know as a teacher I’m supposed to say summer, but I like spring the best. I love when the days are getting longer and the nights start getting warmer. Sweatshirt weather is my favorite. Plus spring makes me anticipate the end of the school year, graduation, and the start of summer break!" - Bob
