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

I'm super competitive when it comes to...

"trivia" - Mike

Dogs or cats?

"Dogs. Our dogs love us." - Michael

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?

"Although I like winter and spring, I prefer autumn even more. Apple cider and apple butter conjure up fond memories from childhood. The morning frosts promise winter and the potential for skiing. The shortening days mean I can stop worrying about outdoor projects and retreat inside. Of course, the changing leaves provide more variety of color than at any other point in the year." - Alex

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

"I thanks God to be alive" - Manuel Rodriguez

In five years our relationship with our child’s birth mother will…

"be loving and open to the expectations that we set from the beginning." - Sean Scott

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
