When God was giving out happiness, Marc was first in line and probably got more than the normal allotment. He is the joy of any party. He is always happy and makes those around him feel joyous. He can walk into any room and light it up with his large personality, his smile, his positive energy. He doesn't worry about perceptions, rather sets the trends. He is fair. He is adventurous. He brings out the best in us. He can make anyone laugh and that probably why everyone seems to want to be around him. He’s goofy and playful. He pushes me to shed the normative ways and pushes me to learn, grow and experience new ways. He is soft, and very caring and immensely supportive. I know that all these qualities will make him a fantastic dad. He pulls me onto the dance floor to be the first couple to dance, when everyone else is awkwardly watching. Without him, I would be the one standing on the sidelines watching as others have fun. With him, I willingly go onto any dance floor.

" Marc-Antoine and Devashish are two of my closest friends and I have had the great privilege of watching their love grow over the past six years. Now, they are ready to welcome a baby into their home and I can say with great confidence that they will provide the love, support and tools needed to nurture a growing child and will lead by example on how to be a kind, accepting and joyful human being. I have spent many special times with the couple celebrating birthdays and other important life changes including their wedding ceremony in August of 2018. The amount of love and support that was witnessed at the wedding was truly a testament to the type of people that Marc-Antoine and Devashish are and the love that they share with those closest to them. Family and friends are of the utmost importance and a child adopted by them will gain, not only two wonderful dads, but an entire circle of supportive relatives and friends. As an educator who works with children as young as 12 months through 18 years, I understand the impact of parents on their children and the support they need in their home life. I can say, without a doubt, that Marc-Antoine and Devashish would create a supportive, engaging and loving environment for any child that they bring into their home. It brings me to tears to think about the two of them as fathers and how blessed a child will be to grow up with them! "
