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 favorite place in the World is...

What scares you?

"Heights. I don't like them myself, but what I really can't handle is when people I know are close to edges of high up places." - 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

What is the best word to describe our family?

"Apart from my family (pets included!), I'd say music. For me, music is my go-to for whenever I need a spark of motivation or shift in mood. It is also something that Bob and I enjoy together. Though we don't always have the same taste in music, we love showing each other new bands and singing along to songs as we power through some housework or while we cook together." - Sam
