I'm super competitive when it comes to...

playing Just Dance with my family.

-Valeria

Dogs or cats?

I love both, and we have 2 cats at home!

-Steven

Favorite season and why?

The summer because it is so beautiful in the PNW. The mid 70s temps and all of the outdoor events are amazing.

-Valeria

I would never...

use physical punishments on a child. Studies have shown that it is always a negative experience for a child. Starting from a calm and mature standpoint helps the child create a more secure attachment.

-Valeria

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

I would choose pasta because it is so versatile and delicious at the same time.

-Valeria

My philosophy on parenting is...

stern but filled with love and understanding.

-Steven

The most special thing I own is...

the pillow that I used as a baby.

-Valeria

I hope our child’s birth mother is…

supported and safe throughout her pregnancy.

-Valeria

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

my family.

-Valeria

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

we live in the suburbs in the PNW. We have access to all kinds of parks, nature, and events, as well as living feet away from a highly rated elementary school!

-Steven

Dogs or cats?

I love both, but we currently have two elderly cats who sleep all day.
