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

Dogs or cats?

"I love both, but we currently have two elderly cats who sleep all day." - Valeria

If I could choose one type of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be:

"Pizza" - Mike

My philosophy on parenting is...

"Build a child's confidence so they can make good decisions on their own for the rest of their life." - Audrey

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

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

"I would choose to live on a sailboat. First of all, since the Earth's surface is covered significantly more by water than by land, there are more places to go. Even parts of the land are accessible by ports and rivers." - Alex

Complete the sentence, “I can’t live without……”

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