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

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

"Involved in our life in some capacity. Hopefully, she will feel like a member of our family. I would love for her to be proud of her choices and living a life that makes her happy - in a perfect world, one in which we could cheer her on!" - Anjie

My philosophy on parenting is...

"Give them the tools thye need to succeed but let them build their own path, while prioritizing safety above all else." - 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
