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 best friend would describe me as...

"Funny and kind. Or just funny looking." - Elliot

My favorite place in the World is...

"My favorite place is Fiji where we went for our honeymoon" - Nikki

We are the best choice because…

"We are so, so ready to bring a child into our lives and love them with all our heart. We've done a lot of research and also soul searching, and we are prepared (and truly excited) for what adoption may bring, and we want to start our family in a way that honors our child's birth parents and tells their story as we begin this new chapter in ours." - Derek
