My philosophy on parenting is...

"To do everything we can to help our child grow into the person they are meant to be. To cultivate their curiosity, interest, and unique abilities. To create a safe and secure environment where they can confidently explore their interests and the world around 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 favorite website is (...not your Facebook page :)):

"fieldgulls.com" - Josh

What is the best word to describe our family?

"Adventorus!" - Elliot

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

"I am definitely spiritual, but very respectful/open/celebrating of people with a religious background. I have friends of all faiths, and I think we all are looking for the same thing -- love, faith, purpose, comfort. I definitely believe in the magic of life. I've had my fair share of life bumps, but also there are so many moments that I met someone, had a moment, that just made me believe in the beauty and magic of it all. I feel that way about the adoption path too. I imagine that when we connect, it will be one of the most impactful and magical moments and connections of my life." - Emily
