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

Dogs or cats?

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

We are the best choice because…

"we can provide a amazing life for any kid full of laughs, a love of learning, baking, crafts, video games, outdoor games/sports, and adventures." - Meghan

What is the best word to describe our family?

"Strong. We are capable of great things." - Michael

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

"Duncan, my kids, and cheesecake." - Becca

What scares you?

"Even more than my distaste for snakes, I am afraid of doing too little to improve my community. Many organizations like Boy Scouts stress that you should leave a campsite better than you found it. I would be horrified if I did not give my community the same respect." - Alex

Dogs or cats?

"we love dogs and cats" - Manuel Rodriguez

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

"Alyssa, books, and my fur babies." - Sean Scott

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

"There are a number of parks and playgrounds within a few minutes of our house that host events for kids of all ages. There’s a youth athletic league with sports fields nearby, and we even have a sprayground! Lots of the cafes and restaurants are well suited for families too!" - Bob
