My philosophy on parenting is...

"Positive discipline, I've been studying it since 2013 and sharing it with families and I really love how guides children with love and empathy and at the same time it allow emotional conection with parents. I've seen and guide families to enjoy their parenthood and I would love that to my own family" - Lorena Jiménez

What is the best word to describe our family?

"Sparkley. This one word captures who we are as a family. Each family member has and contributes their own unique light and together we create a dazzling display of love, unity, and acceptance that shines brightly against any backdrop. For me, "sparkley" evokes a sense of joy, fun, and pride." - Jesse

If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...

"My Aunt Sue. She passed away almost ten years ago but she was an important figure in my life. From her I learned to not take things too seriously and always help others. I would love to have another meal with her. " - Rachel

If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...

We are the best choice because…

"We have time, space, and so much love and support to give your child. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule as most of my income is from passive investments. We will travel often, and expose your child to many different environments and nurture them to be kind and courageous. We will support and honor their full selves." - Jane

If you had to pick a famous person to play you in a movie, who would it be?

"My top pick would be Joel McHale (from shows like The Soup and Community). Mainly because when Evan and I lived in New York City, people would stop and ask me to take pictures with them because they thought I was Joel McHale." - Wesley Stoskopf
