I'm just not one of those people who thought having biological children was that important, to me it was more about wanting to raise a child.

I'm a very ritualistic, routine-oriented person, and I discovered over the years that I love working Monday through Friday.

The second you are handed a newborn it is yours. It doesn’t matter what body it came out of. I’ve never felt more strongly about anything in my life.

I really am profoundly grateful just in general in my life. I've had an embarrassing amount of good fortune.

I've never been all that interested or aware of what people are thinking about me or saying about me. I think that has kept me safest and sanest.

I’m not sad about any of my life. It’s so unconventional. It doesn’t look anything like I thought it would.

In my household there is an insane amount of laughter and celebration.
