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

If you had to pick a famous person to play you in a movie, who would it be?

The most special thing I own is...

"a very specific tea mug. Most of my possessions have little sentimental value, including other mugs. However, a close friend gave this mug to me, and the text on it makes me smile. Later, another friend modified the text on it to make it even funnier. I no longer use it because of the delicacy of the modifications, but I frequently see it in the cupboard. It always reminds me of happy memories." - Alex

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

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

"Wonder. I’m so fascinated by space and how vast it is. I have an app that tells me where the planets and constellations are in the night sky. I always find them when stargazing, which is one of my favorite things to do." - Bob
