Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

"I grew up going to church and stay semi active with my churches middle school and high school youth groups as that was an important part of my life." - Jon

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
