Family & Home

Jessica and Joseph live in a single-story, single-family home made of wood and brick, in Hawaii. The couple has owned this 1200 sq. ft., three bedroom and two bathroom home for seven years. Their home is located on a peaceful street, in a safe neighborhood. The inside and outside of the home are well maintained and recently renovated. The home is clean, safe, uncluttered and free of obvious fire hazards. The house is equipped with smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and the family has a fire escape plan. There is no pool or body of water on or near the family property. There are no firearms or weapons in the home. 

There is a spacious living room, dining room area, kitchen, three (3) bedrooms and two (2) bathrooms. The room next to the master bedroom is the children’s room. The family plans on having their children share a room until they are a little older. The room is clean, with a closet, windows, and good ventilation. 

The back of the house is a large family room filled with family photos, children's books and board games. Outside, in the back of the house, is a large well maintained yard, with a secured shed and garden. Jessica and Joseph grow herbs, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, eggplant and pineapple. There are trees that bear mango, orange, and lilikoi fruit. There are no family pets in the home. 

Jessica and Joseph live in a small, family friendly town on the island of Maui. The community is culturally diverse. Their neighborhood is composed of families with young children and older generation families. Their neighbors are from Japanese, Filipino, Caucasian and Hawaiian ethnic backgrounds. Their neighborhood reflects the cultural diversity of Hawaii. Jessica and Joseph plan to raise their child in Wailuku. Jessica and Joseph are excited to introduce their adoptive child to their neighbors and know that their child will be accepted and welcomed with open arms. The family lives within one mile of the fire department and within two miles of the police station and hospital.
