Rose: I was born in Toronto, Canada. I was #4 of 6 children,
with 3 older sisters and 2 younger brothers. Dad worked hard and Mom took care of us at home. They are Portuguese and have
been married almost 50 years. Growing up, we had picnics by the beach-these are some of my happiest memories growing up. I
went to school at the University of Toronto. I'm very close with my family; we call and email each other and constantly exchange
photos. We love each other's children and they can't wait to have a new niece or nephew! I work part-time and plan to be a
full-time stay-at-home mother

Michael: I was born in Islip, New York. I was #2 of
3 children. Dad owned a deli and Mom was with us at home when we were younger and then helped Dad when we got older. They
have been married over 35 years. I had a happy childhood; I was a boyscout and took karate for a few years. My family
is very close, especially after my brother died in an accident. My sister Erin wants to be a "favorite aunt" and my parents
can't wait to be called "grandparents". I have a successful home repair business and am able to financially support a family
