My philosophy on parenting is...
That our job as parents is not to decide what the best choice for our child is, but instead give them the tools to make informed choices that will allow them to make good decisions on their own.
-Erik
The most special thing I own is...
The things we bring back from vacations that allow us to remember visiting.
-Erik
My favorite place in the World is...
Any one of the National Parks but specifically Olympic National Park.
-Erik
What is the best word to describe our family?
The best word to describe our family is caring. We care for each other and care for others.
-Samantha
If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...
Rosalind Franklin, the woman who payed a major part in the discovery of DNA as the building block of human life and one of the reasons I have a job in Molecular Biology today.
-Erik
My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…
It provides great schools and parks in a mostly suburban area that is accessible to all the culture in Seattle within 5 minute commute.
-Erik
Three years from now, I hope our child’s birth mom is…
still communicating with us and our adoptive child and involved in life events if they so choose to be

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?
Sailboat
-Erik
Favorite season and why?
Spring because it is when plants begin to grow and the leaves return along with the warmth.

Do I have kids? How do they feel about a sibling?
No we do not have biological children of our own.
-Erik
My best friend would describe me as...
Extremely loving and thoughtful. I met my best friend while working with senior citizens, and both of us truly love spending time with people and getting to know them.
-Samantha
In five years our relationship with our child’s birth mother will…
be a warm relationship with open communication to our potential child if that is wanted, as both the biological and adoptive parents are important in the child’s life and upbringing
-Erik
If I could change one thing about the World, it would be...
to allow for greater upward mobility both socially and financially. We are lucky to be in a good place but too many struggle in a system based revolving debt
-Erik
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?
How truly large the world is.
