When we argue, what’s it about?

"Chores." - Ashlyn

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 hope to continue to travel around the US and North America!" - Linsey

If I could choose one type of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be:

My philosophy on parenting is...

"Sometimes you have to let them fail. You can't be there to warn them of everything. All you can do is help stear them in the right direction and be there for them, but ultimately they have to figure it out for themselves." - Calem

My best friend would describe me as...

"Loving. I'm very dedicated to the people I care about. I don't do a lot of small talk and prefer to really know how the people in my life are doing!" - Andy

We are the best choice because…

"We are the best because we offer love and stability in a child's life. The Child's safety will always be the most important factor to our child rearing. I not only want to be a friend to our child, but also, someone that they look up to. I have always dreamed of being a mother and creating wonderful experiences for my child and having a close and connected relationship with them, while also encouraging them to be their own individual person. Jackie and I both value the importance of education, creativity, travel and experiences to help shape the future of our child." - Caroline

The most special thing I own is...

"A knife my dad got me when I was 8 years old and we spent a week in Yellowstone National Park. That, or my wedding ring." - Josh

In five years our relationship with our child’s birth mother will…

"Be whatever the birth mother prefers. We are open to it all." - Elliot

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
