And what's best for a child isn't always what's easiest for parents. So it's important to us to match ourselves with the best possible fit with an adopted child. And in order to do that, we are prepared to be as forthcoming about anything you might want to know.

Similarly, we would like you to be forthcoming about what we need to know. We are strangers to you, and we'd like to get to know more about you, so, with you, we can make the best decision for your child.

If we were able to select all the attributes for our child:

• Any gender.
• Caucasian or caucasion/other.
• Newborn or very close to delivery.
• Physically, emotionally, psychologically sound mother and father.
• Non-smoking, non-drinking, drug-free mother and father.
• Lives in California.
• 10 fingers; 10 toes.
