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

Do I have kids? How do they feel about a sibling?

"We have five children between the ages nine and two. They pray every day that we will "find the baby we are supposed to adopt". They talk about this child as though they are already apart of our family. He or she will be so lucky having so many siblings to grow close to and bond with. They will never be lonely or bored. They'll always have someone to play with or lean on for support for the rest of their lives." - Becca

My favorite place in the World is...

"home. I've traveled a lot around the world but my favorite thing is to come back home at the end of each trip and enjoy reconnecting with the people and places who help make me who I am at heart. My family is there excited to hear about my adventures but then even more delighted to share a meal and enjoy the beauty of the valley where we live." - Monique

My philosophy on parenting is...

"Positive discipline, I've been studying it since 2013 and sharing it with families and I really love how guides children with love and empathy and at the same time it allow emotional conection with parents. I've seen and guide families to enjoy their parenthood and I would love that to my own family" - Lorena Jiménez

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

"RV! Though I love the beach and ocean, I can't say I find the idea of living on the water all that appealing! I also really enjoy camping and hiking, and there are so many beautiful mountains and forests in the continental US that I'd love to explore via a cross-country trip!" - Sam
