I would never...

"Skydive! No need to jump out of a perfectly good airplane" - 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

I hope our child’s birth mother is…

"Aware that she has a story, that this decision isn't looked at by the adoptive parents as an easy decision. That she is courageous, caring, and a wonderful person for choosing this path for their story." - Karla

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

"I am religious. It gives me purpose and direction in life." - Calem

Dogs or cats?

"Dogs." - 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

What scares you?

"Not bringing value or worth to a relationship or situation." - Anjie

What scares you?

"Spiders! They are the worst. On a more serious level, anything happening to my family that I have no control over." - Elliot

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
