Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

"I was raised Catholic with a Jewish father so I got the best of both worlds. These days I am not very religious but I appreciate the benefits that can come from religion. " - Rachel

Do I have kids? How do they feel about a sibling?

"I don't have kids, but do have a 5-year old niece and 1-year old nephew nearby. They (and the rest of my family) are very much hoping to welcome a new baby soon." - Lauren

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

"I am not competitive. Although, if I was competitive, I'd probably like to compete in a baking contest. " - Lani

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

My favorite place in the World is...

"Maui! The sun, beaches and Hawaiian vibe. I LOVE Maui!" - Linsey

My favorite place in the World is...

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

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

"there is a playground in every block, some of the best schools in the state of Maryland, a tight-knit parenting culture, aftful afternoons, summer circus camps (if you're into that sort of thing) and a community center with so many classes for kids. I chose to live here because it's so safe, diverse, family-friendly, highly walkable, and right next to a forest preserve." - Ronda
