Stay ConnectedWe’re Jess and Paul, a married couple in our late-30s/early-40s from New York City, about to embark on the biggest adventure of our lives: adopting a baby! Join us as we document the process from the beginning—the ups, the downs, and everything in between.

It's Paul's turn to be interviewed! Get a glimpse into his mind regarding such fascinating subjects as kangaroo pouches, peanut butter cups, and ... gerrymandering. (Also, please forgive the sound of the dogs chewing their bones in the background. At least it kept them occupied during recording time!)
