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

"A sailboat, or any boat in general. My family grew up with a boat and being "on the water" is where I feel the most at peace. During the summer, we actually lived on our boat and "sailed" from one marina to the next in the New York and New England area where we were able to see many different towns and boating communities. The sea air is freeing and calming. From a young age, my parents have instilled the importance of boating and water safety. Swimming and boating lessons were a necessity if we were to be on the water as a family. Being on the water isn't just an activity, it is an experience and to this day, brings me so much excitement. I also love boating because I know that this is an activity that Jackie also loves, as her family has generations of fisherman. Although we do not have a boat now, we hope to carry on our families boating traditions. We still enjoy water activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and just sitting at the beach, enjoying the sun and waves." - Caroline

We are the best choice because…

"We would love an adopted child fully and unconditionally, while also holding space for any and all birth family that would want to be in relationship with us." - Anjie

When we argue, what’s it about?

"Me not hearing the question after 3 attempts" - Ian

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

"Oh my goodness, so hard to choose just one! Here is the long list :)... My mom, wonderful friends, my sweet dog Mina (she's great with kids), my favorite comfort movies, living room dance parties, music, art, and time in nature (especially swimming in the rivers and lakes near me)!" - Emily
