Marci: A family.

David: Yeah, I mean, we would like to have children. If you’re asking me personally how do I envision our family, our future family—adoption. I honestly think so. I know that we’ve talked about surrogacy, and I know that we're going to try to venture down the road. But even if it does work I think we would like to have another child, and I think it’s probably going to be adoption. We’ve talked about it and it’s something that we would like to get on the way. We’re all conditioned by our family, what their experiences have been. By the time our parents were our age, they already had children that were probably 10 years old. So I would like, we would like to have children so that we can enjoy them not just as toddlers and as 5 year olds but even at a time when we’re still active when they’re graduating college. Even with modern science and the fact that we’ll probably live longer than our parents eventually, it’s our quality of life at the end of our life, and I’m also concerned with being able to enjoy that with our children as adult children. That’s why I think it’s really important for us to move ahead with our family as soon as possible.
