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 consider ourselves fortunate to call sunny San Diego home. We live in a quiet community called La Mesa, just a few miles inland from the beach. Our home is a three-bedroom house with a large yard and outdoor area that is perfect for enjoying the great weather Southern California has to offer. Within a few blocks from our home are several parks, schools, and walking trails that we visit with our dog often and hope to enjoy with our future child too. Our home is located on a safe, quiet street with other young families and retired couples. Each year we take pride in decorating our home with Christmas lights and Halloween decorations that make the holidays feel magical." - Eddy

Favorite season and why?

"It's got to be summer! I feel like most of my favorite events and memorie are from summer- be it family reunions and camping trips, to outdoor concerts, or just picking berries and reading a book in the back yard. Every season has its own characteristics to love, but I know Greg and I are looking to sharing some of our favorite parts of summer with our future child!" - Derek
