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

"That everyone would know what it is like to be loved unconditionally." - Becca

Dogs or cats?

"As an adult, I have lived with both dogs and cats and have loved each animal. The curiosity and energy of dogs reminds me of a small child with all their questions. Meanwhile, cats remind me of teenagers: more emotionally separate, giving a vibe of indifference to their parents, but still worth loving." - Alex

Dogs or cats?

"Dogs and cats! We have an 8 years old cat (from Venezuela) name Cata and an 1 year dog name Nana we love both so much " - Lorena Jiménez

If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...
