If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

"I would choose an RV. I get sea sick so a sailboat would be no fun." - Chad

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

"How big the world and universe is. The starry night is so beautiful, it is fun to look for shooting stars and looking at all the constellations." - 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 I have kids? How do they feel about a sibling?

"If she really understands, she is super excited and intrigued with the thought of having a brother or sister. She definitely needs someone to play and cause trouble with. Plus, the animals need a break haha." - Calem

Three years from now, I hope our child’s birth mom is…

"Happy, healthy and content -- the same I would wish for anyone we care about." - 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

If you had to pick a famous person to play you in a movie, who would it be?

"I would want Tina Fey to play me in a movie. She's delightful and quirky, but can also be serious, when needed. Her work has made me laugh so hard that I cried. But I also appreciate her sensitive side." - Anjie

The most special thing I own is...

"The life I have built for myself and my family." - Elliot

The most special thing I own is...

"Photos of my dad, and a necklace my mom gave me that's engraved with a little note that reads: "to Emily, my light." I'm very sentimental and love things that remind me of people I love." - Emily
