In five years our relationship with our child’s birth mother will…

"On going contact with open lines of communication." - Chad

Dogs or cats?

"I love both, but I have always had cats. Because they are loving, sweet, independent and I dont feel guilty like leaving a dog. But I do regularly dog sit the best and cutest Golden Doodle!" - Linsey

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

"any pasta dish" - Karla

Do I have kids? How do they feel about a sibling?

"Our daughter is three and doesn't quite understand what having a sibling entails, but she does mention wanting a brother or sister often. She is a social butterfly, so I am confident that she would love to have a sibling to play and cause trouble with." - Cassidy

My best friend would describe me as...

"Loyal. I'm very dedicated to the people I love, both family and friends, and would do just about anything for them." - Javier

Favorite season and why?

"Caroline and I both love the fall. The way the air smells in the evening, sitting around a fire pit with friends, days at the local apple orchard or pumpkin patch. We love the colors of fall and the excitment felt of the upcoming holiday season where we decorate and celebrate and spend time with loved ones. We also love fall because our favorite "holiday" takes place... HALLOWEEN! Every year for Halloween, we host a big party for our friends and their families. Children of all ages attend and everyone must wear a costume! There are activities for children such as scavenger hunts, pumpkin decorating, and a pinata! Our friends tell us every year how their children look forward to this party. Caroline and I spend weeks planning a theme and decorating, as well as coming up with new activities for the guests. This is by far our favorite party of the year." - Jacquelyn

My philosophy on parenting is...

"Lovingly encurage good decisions, while also allowing learning moments. Always being there for my kid, where they know they can depend on me no matter what." - Josh

What scares you?

"Losing my family" - Ian

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

"I live in a super sweet, safe, and diverse community. I love that my neighbors take so much pride in their gardens, and we have parks, playgrounds, cafes, and schools all through the neighborhood. I live a short drive to a forest, and also to a gorgeous river (perfect for summer swimming). We also have farms for picking berries and pumpkins nearby, and a great community center with classes for kids to learn arts and crafts. Last (but definitely not least), is that we have great community here! I have so many friends nearby that are looking forward to being part of our child's world." - Emily
