Dogs or cats?
Both. Dogs when you want to have company, cats when you need your lap warmed up.
Chris
Complete the sentence, “I can’t live without……”
coffee, all day every day, which sometimes includes multiple stops at McDonald's.
Chris
If I could have dinner with anyone -- dead or alive -- I would pick...
Lauren Graham who plays Lorelai in Gilmore Girls. I just feel like we'd connect so well and could easily be good friends and chat over a cup a coffee.
Megan
I hope you are...
...aware of how strong and selfless you are as well as how loved you are by us for being the first mom to our future son or daughter.
Megan
Three years from now, I hope our birth mom is…..
thriving emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically. I hope she is in a positive place in life and connected to a community who is supporting and loving her well.
Megan
If you had to pick a famous person to play you in a movie, who would it be?
Definitely Tom Cruise.
Chris
Dogs or cats?
Dogs. More trainable and very loyal. Although cats are easier! We have a 2-year-old dog, Atlas, that is german shepherd/lab/boxer mix. We also have 2 indoor cats and a few outdoor cats as well!
Megan
My favorite place in the World is...
I'm a homebody, so our house is very much my favorite place most of the time. A close second is Uganda. The people, the food, the landscape. I miss it often and hope to take a family trip someday.
Megan
We are the best choice because…
We're already up to our eyeballs in kids, what could one more be? In all honesty, we're the best choice if we seem to be the best fit. You decide. :)
Chris
Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?
My Christian faith is incredibly important to me and our family as a whole. It influences every aspect of our lives.
Megan
Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?
Yes, I'm very religious and spiritual, I am a pastor after all. In all honesty though, not all pastors are religious or spiritual, but I am.
Chris
If I could have dinner with anyone -- dead or alive -- I would pick...
Either New Testament scholar Tom Wright or Scot McKnight.
Chris
Complete the sentence, “I can’t live without……”
More seriously: my husband, kids, and Jesus. Less seriously...but still super high on the list: Indian food, bubble baths, and Gilmore Girls.
Megan
In five years, our relationship with you will...
We hope it will be an open or semi-open relationship that will allow you to in some sense be a part of our family. However, we are okay with a closed adoption if that's your wish.
Megan
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?
The book "On the Night You Were Born". I have a tattoo inspired from this book that includes a clock for the time each of my children were born. I can't wait to add another clock someday!
Megan
My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…
We live in the country, which offers a sense of peace and calmness and space for our kids to explore and be in nature, while also living a short drive into town and near family and friends.
Megan
If you could choose one type of food to eat for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Definitely Indiana food...I'd eat it breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I could! The kids love it too.
Megan
Favorite season and why?
Fall, I love the colors, the crisp air, the bon fires, and the hot apple cider.
Chris
When you argue, what’s it about?
The normal couple stuff: money, how we spend our time, and how things go in the bedroom...like which side of the bed to sleep on.
Chris
What scares you?
I have a slightly irrational fear of worms, but I try to get over it the sake of my bug loving kiddos.
Megan
Three years from now, I hope our birth mom is…..
Flourishing, surrounded by a good support system, and in the life of our child if she desires to be.
Chris
Do you have kids? How would they feel about a sibling?
Yes, we have three young kiddos. They will be amazing with another little one in the family. My oldest, my daughter, loves being a little helper with her younger siblings. We also have two boys,.
Megan
The most special thing I own is...
This one is tough, but I would say pictures. I also have a necklace that I wear everywhere I go. Each disc on the necklace has the initial of our kids, and I can't wait to add another disc.
Megan
What is the best word to describe your family?
Committed. Chris and I are committed in our marriage, we are committed to loving and raising our children well, and we are committed to Christ and pursuing a life of loving God and loving others well.
Megan
Favorite season and why?
Definitely fall! Pumpkins, sweatshirts, hay rides, apple picking, football season, Halloween festivities, the changing leaves...I love it all!
