Dear Parents, We realize you are facing one of the most difficult decisions in your life right now. Your gift of fatherhood will bring us a lifetime of immeasurable joy. Although we are strangers now, we will forever be bonded by the love that we all share for this precious child. We will always honor your selflessness. Here are some facts about us... We met 10 years ago and have been inseperable ever since. We live in Seattle in a beautiful home and are walking distance to Lake Washington. We live near lots of nice parks, good schools, and great access to outdoor activities in the Pacific Northwest. Our home is a warm and nurturing space. We strive to be good, thoughtful, creative and balanced people. We are optimists. We are motivated. We love science, cooking, music and business. We like to laugh and learn new things. We value friends and family and we always have food for a last minute guest in our home. We love dogs. Currently we have a very nice mini poodle, Rocky. Rocky is from Korea! We have always wanted to be Dads! With love and gratitude,
Jeffrey & Paul

My best friend would describe me as...
Loyal and caring. Funny. A postitive influence.

My philosophy on parenting is...
every child is different, so we will have to be flexible and responsive to their personality and individual needs.
-Paul
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?
There is so much that we don't know in the universe.
-Paul
If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...
Probably one more dinner with my Grandmother.
-Jeffrey
Paul and Rocky on Orcas Island, WA, one of our favorite places to visit.
Sometimes a hug is all we need. Having fun on the shores of Lake Washington.
Favorite season and why?
Fall because of the weather, colors, and holidays.
-Paul
If I could change one thing about the World, it would be...
a better or more even distribution of resources, access to education, and wealth.
-Paul
I would never...
Go sky diving, get in a shark cage, or go bungee jumping !! I don't like to take needless risks !!!

We currently do not have any children, but are hoping to have two.

Here we are celebrating Jeff's brother's wedding in Philadelphia ! It was a great night and a great few days spending time with our newest family members.
We enjoy baking and cooking and were lucky to use a wood-fired pizza oven while vacationing on Lummi Island, WA.

-Paul

To provide a loving home and to expose our kids to as much as possible.

-Paul
Fun times exploring Sedona, AZ with our niece and nephews.
We are the best choice because…
we will expose our child to science, art, business, law, math, culture (s), languages and music. We believe in the limitlessness of human potential. We will instill strong morals and good values in our child. We value happiness and humour and strive to find the beauty in everyday.
