My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

Dogs or cats?

"Dogs." - Javier

Favorite season and why?

"Caroline and I both love the fall. The way the air smells in the evening, sitting around a fire pit with friends, days at the local apple orchard or pumpkin patch. We love the colors of fall and the excitment felt of the upcoming holiday season where we decorate and celebrate and spend time with loved ones. We also love fall because our favorite "holiday" takes place... HALLOWEEN! Every year for Halloween, we host a big party for our friends and their families. Children of all ages attend and everyone must wear a costume! There are activities for children such as scavenger hunts, pumpkin decorating, and a pinata! Our friends tell us every year how their children look forward to this party. Caroline and I spend weeks planning a theme and decorating, as well as coming up with new activities for the guests. This is by far our favorite party of the year." - Jacquelyn

Complete the sentence, “I can’t live without……”

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

Favorite season and why?

"Definitely the fall! Halloween is one of my favorites, and I'm all about the pumpkin carving, decorating, and costumes! The leaves here in Oregon also are so beautiful, and the air smells perfectly crisp!" - Emily
