Favorite season and why?

"Fall is my favorite season. The cool weather, changing leaves, and yummy treats. It's just a beautiful time of year." - Sarah

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

"We live at the end of a dirt road in the country, surrounded by pasture and corn fields. It's the perfect place for a kid to be a kid – playing with animals, dirt and letting their imagination run wild." - Cassidy

"Javier's short ribs and cheesy polenta. It's my favorite meal!" - Andy

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

We are the best choice because…

"We would love an adopted child fully and unconditionally, while also holding space for any and all birth family that would want to be in relationship with us." - Anjie

What is the best word to describe our family?

"Adventorus!" - Elliot

We are the best choice because…

"I've wanted to be a mom for as long as I can remember. I worked for years as an infant/toddler, and then Pre-K teacher, and it only made my heart want that life more. I am a single-mom-to-be but I promise you, our child will not be lacking for anything. I have a huge amount of love and energy to give, and my mom is ready to be the ultimate Grandma!" - Emily
