Will you love and cherish this baby no matter what it turns out to be?Well of course! That's a given, isn't it? How could I not cherish them? I mean- it's a little life inside that egg! I love all my friends regardless of how they look, so why would it be any different for this lovely baby?
How do you plan raise the little one?Well I have raised babies before, though they were baby shiba inus. I work a bit of daycare from time to time. I've helped Mr.Pudding on daycare duty quite a bit! I plan to take good care of the little guy, once he hatches that is. Until then he'll be nice and warm inside my pouch. Hmm, I already have a nice place set up for it too! Come to think of it, shopping for all the new things will be really fun too! Not too soon though, I wouldn't want to buy a little boy a bunch of skirts- unless he wanted them, in which case I'd get him all the skirts in the world! ...Okay maybe not THAT many but, all the skirts I could get him! I can sew too- so I'm sure it'll be really fun to make clothes for a baby! I plan to be a good, supportive dad and be there to make sure the baby is alright no matter what the circumstance. As a parent I feel like it's my job to teach the baby how to survive in the world without me, though while the baby is under my care it's my job to nurture them and make sure they're safe and strong! I'll do my very best to make sure that this child grows up in a good environment an that they live a happy life, even though they were left behind.
What will you tell them about their adoption? About their parents?That's... a hard question, really. I don't think I'd tell them... or at least I wouldn't want to. I always thought my foster parents were my biological parents, well, until I figured out I wasn't a shiba inu. Y'know, it sounds pretty silly but I didn't know I was different until I grew bigger than my folks, that's when we thought something was up. I never knew my parents, and I admit I am curious but... I would owe it to the child to tell them that they're adopted, though as a child I don't know when I'd tell them. If they asked me about it, then I'd be honest with them, otherwise I would probably tell them around their teen years. I wouldn't want to startle them, but honestly the drama and just... sadness... that comes from knowing your own parents didn't want you... it's not something anyone should have to face. I would know. I'd just have to trust that the baby would know that I love and care for them very much even though we aren't related by blood.
What is your current living situation?Well, I recently moved into a really nice house. I got a bit of help from my good friend Velox, but the place is really nice. It has two stories and it's not too far away from where my friends live, so if I need their help with anything they're not too far off. It's not too far from my workplace either, and there's a great room with a huge window I've set aside for the baby!
Are you currently employed?Yep, I got a job recently. I work as a greeter and general help at the local dinosaur museum! It's called the Museum Of The Jurassic, but pretty much anyone working there calls it either just the museum or the museum of dust. It's kind of an inside joke, but everyone there is really nice. I also work as a cashier at the gift shop sometimes, and I have a pass to go free on my down time whenever I want to.
What is your current financial situation?I'm doing pretty well actually! The house is completely paid off, so no worries there, and with a steady flow of cash I'm doing pretty well for myself. I have a pretty nice amount of savings in the bank and if I need any other sort of help I know I can count on Velox and Jerome.
How do you think your other children will react to having a new sibling?Well I have two kids of my own, though most beans don't really consider them children. They're my two shiba inus, Hachiko and Kabosu! Hachi is my baby boy and Kabby is a sassy little girl. They're not really so little anymore though- in fact they're full grown doges themselves! I still take care of them of course, though I think they'll be thrilled to have company. They really like meeting new beans, so I'm sure they'll take to the baby right away. They're used to being around kids a lot too, so it's nothing new for them.
Do you have any pets in your household?I don't really consider Hachiko and Kabosu pets, but they are shiba inus. They're especially friendly and gentle around kids, and while Kabby may play rough from time I'd be sure to tell her that wasn't alright around the new kid. Ah? Well of course I can talk to Kabby. She doesn't understand? Ah, you must be mistaken! I speak dog. You seem confused, well I was raised with them. Speaking of teaching children, I can't wait to teach the new baby all about the world! Or, what I've seen of it, and all the new stuff we can just explore together!
How will you handle dating when the child gets old enough?Ah, well I never really passed through that phase myself, so I wouldn't know very well what to do with it. I'd probably make them wait until they were old enough, sixteen is generally a good age to let kids start dating... though honestly if they could prove to me they were ready I would let them do it, though they'd have to prove they would be responsible.
What would you do if your child wanted to meet their birth parents?...I'd be confused, honestly. As curious as I ever was about meeting my biological parents, I still kind of... well they were never there for me. I never really wanted to meet them, though I did wonder about them. However, if they really wanted to meet their parents then I'd do everything in my power to help them accomplish it.
How would you feel letting this new young bean into your family?
Thrilled! Really it was exciting adopting my shibas Kabby and Hachi, it'll be really great to have a little one in the house again! Raising a child, a real Jellybean Dragon child, will be a lot different than raising a shiba I imagine... but it's a new and fun experience that I think I'm ready to take on. I'm really excited for the potential of raising my own baby, not to mention being a dad! I've kind of always dreamed of raising a baby... though I never really thought I'd get the chance!
Do you wish it would be a female, or male bean?I personally wouldn't mind either! I'm alright with either gender, honestly I'm just happy to potentially have a kid of my own and the possibility of helping out someone else is also really exciting! Honestly they could be male, female or any other gender and I'd be perfectly happy either way. As I said before, as a parent I think it's my job to really support my kid no matter what decisions they make, as long as they're not harmful to said kid of anyone around them.
What will you name the baby?That's another really good question! Hachiko is named after the great shiba inu who waited for his master at the train station every day. One day his master didn't return, but he waited loyally until he died one day and he's seen as both a hero and a symbol of loyalty. Kabosu is named after the shibe doge meme. The dog in the meme's name is Kabosu and she's a striking female doge! A couple names I really like are Daisuke, Hibiki or maybe Kazuki? All of them are Japanese names! Daisuke means great help, while Hibiki means Echo and Kazuki is one harmony, radiance, shine and hope. I'm not too sure though, I want to really think about it and make sure it fits before I choose one!
What punishments will you have in line if they misbehave?Well I'm not too sure either. It'd be really hard for me to scold them, though I'd want to make sure that I would have some in place. I wouldn't want to be too harsh though... I'd probably just talk to them if there was a problem, and if that wouldn't fix it then maybe I'd have to start trying other punishments? I don't want to be too hard on them though, just enough to make sure they know that there's an issue that needs to be fixed, if that makes any sense?
What if this baby were defective in some sense, perhaps they were born with some sort of handicap. How would you adapt to this? Would it affect your view of the child?
Of course it would affect my view of the child! You can't look at a handicapped person with the same expectations as a non-handicapped person. If you mean would it make me look down on them, then of course not! Aside from me looking down a bit because, well, they're shorter than me. I would just try to figure out how I could best help and do my best to meet their needs! I'd probably have to make some changes, but I wouldn't mind if it was for the sake of my child.
You mentioned being orphaned yourself, how will this effect the way you raise this child?Mhm, I was. I was abandoned on a doorstep in Japan around this time of year myself. I guess you could say it really motivated me to take this bean in. I wanted to repay fate for being so kind to me, and give this kiddo the love my foster parents gave to me. I think I'll be a bit more understanding of their situation, and I feel like they might be more comfortable talking to me knowing we shared the same bad experience. I'll be a bit more lenient with punishments, and I'll probably be really defensive. I'll want to know where they are a lot of the time, just to be safe.
What other beans may be an influence on this orphan?Well I already mentioned my two closest friends Jerome and Velox didn't I? A bit more on them- Jerome is a really rich, really cool dino! Jerome loves gardening, and his boyfriend is Icarus. Icarus is a really cool and smart inventor! He makes all sorts of cool science-y things and inventions for a lot of important people! Velox is a creative, funny artist! He's also pretty rich, and his husband is Brennan. I don't know much about Brennan, since I don't really see him much. Velox and Brennan recently had two kids of their own! I imagine that the kids would play often at that Vel, Bren, Jero and Icky would be a good influence on the new baby!
What skill do you feel will help you post as a parent?
I love to cook! Honestly I really enjoy making delicious things for my friends, so I can already tell if this little one was mine to care for he'd be spoiled rotten with sushi treats and delicious baked goods! I enjoy making lots of different kinds of treats and food, so I'm sure even if the little one's picky I can find something special they'll really enjoy! Even if I don't know the recipe, I'm a quick learner!
Do you have any bad habits or health concerns that we should be made aware of?Well I have an odd form of narcolepsy that causes me to fall asleep randomly. It's been getting better in terms of just how random though, and it's basically just causing me to fall asleep once the sun sets now. Honestly I've been trying to fix it, but before it was never really a problem! It does make me take short naps during the day without much warning, but overall not detrimental to anyone's health. Icky has been helping me out a lot with researching narcolepsy so we can figure out more about how to keep it under control.
I know we've already been over this, but could you state again in your own words why you'd like to adopt this child?Really I just want to pay fate back for all the good things that've happened in my life. I don't know where I would've been if my foster parents hadn't taken me in and raised me and I'm so so very thankful that they did. I couldn't pass by another baby bean, discarded like I was so long ago. That... isn't possible. Not for me, at least. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't try to take this baby into my own life and raise it with the same kindness and love my foster parents did for me.

In an unknown Russian kingdom, hidden from society, lived a king who ruled over the kingdom. The king ended up falling in love with one of the servant girls that worked in the castle. But falling in love between social classes was frown upon so they keep their love hidden from the public. The servant girl ended up baring child to the king and they tried their best to keep the whole thing hidden. But despite their attempts a chamber maiden found out about the romantic affairs and threatened the king that she'd tell the kingdom about their love if he didn't marry her. Due to the chamber maiden having royal heritage the marriage was acceptable and they were wed. But as soon as this happens the new Queen, the chamber maiden that married the king, turned on the servant girl. She declared that the servant was to be beheaded for her treason to the throne so the servant girl fled the land with the new born egg. The Queen sent the royal huntsmen after her and when the servant girl was out of options she left the egg in the woods and led the huntsmen away from her beloved child. The egg is later on found by a stranger, unknowing of the secret kingdom, and takes the egg in as their own. As the child grows into adulthood, not knowing anything about their past self, they set out to find the real them. Eventually, using the little clues they can get, they find their real home in ruins. While they had been away the king had fallen into a great despair in the loss of his beloved and their child. During this time the Queen had taken over, plunging the kingdom into a dark time. Now the child is apart of an old prophecy stating a golden child would bring light to the ones lost in darkness.
