About Ray

Hi, I'd like to tell you a little about me. I have traveled my whole life, I've lived in Germany for several years with my family since my father was in the Army, I also lived in several different states. I now travel to different areas of the coast for my job off shore. I enjoy doing anything outdoors, whether simply cutting grass or building something. I enjoy spending my time home with my wife & kids. Katrina and I do lunch together everyday when I'm in & I love having dinner with my family nightly, where we can reconnect & talk about their daily life. I am an FFL dealer on the side because I am a collector & that helps me to get things I can't find in the stores. Email any questions you may have.

About Katrina

Hi, again thank you for visiting our blog. A little about me, every since I was a little girl all I ever dreamed of being was a wife & mom. After complications with my last pregnancy we are no longer to have biological children. We have dreamed of adoption for years and are finally at a place in our lives where we can make our dreams a reality. We have 7, yes 7 godchildren whom we love dearly & spend a lot of time with. We also have a Yorkie named Duke who honestly doesn't believe he is a dog!! I love shopping, do it alot, I also love traveling. We take vacation at least once a year, but usually do it at least twice. We also enjoy going to the park, zoo, childrens museum, riding go karts and bowling. I am a stay at home mom therefore my children are my #1 priority. I know all their friends who spend a lot of time at our home. We have a pool in the backyard which gets tons of use in the summer months. If you have any specific questions, please email me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Introducing Our Children

Kaylyn is a very bright girl who excels and academics and is a wonderful artist. She is a full-time freshman in college out of state so we don't see her much and we miss her a lot. She is into fashion and music.

Kristian is also very intellegent. He is in the Beta Club at school and was awarded the top 5th grader in the state award for vocabulary. He loves video games and 80s rock. He also enjoys his time outdoors often finding scraps of wood to create a unique project.

Angelle is a sweet, bubbly little girl who has lots of friends. She maintains honor roll in school. She is a member of the school's Pep Squad and has been taking dancing for 3 years. She cannot wait to be a big sister or lil momma as we know she will surely be a very hands on sis.

Dear Birthmom,

Thank you for considering us to be future parents of your precious gift. We are Ray & Katrina . Ray & I met 15 years ago and for me it was love at first sight, although it did take a little longer for Ray. LOL We can honestly say we are married to our best friend. We have many things in common but also have our own interest. We have been married 14 years and have 3 wonderful children ages 10-18. Kaylyn, 18 is Ray’s biological daughter and she was adopted by me when she was 6 years old she is currently enrolled in college so we don’t get to see her as often as we’d like. Kristian, 13 is an extremely intelligent boy who excels in academics. Angelle, 10 is a very happy little girl who is bright and social. They are all looking forward to meeting their new sibling.
We live in a small rural community within walking distance to the church and school. The school is excellent with teachers who truly go above and beyond for their students. Education is very important in our home. Kristian & Angelle both make honor roll and aspire to go to college like their big sister. Weekdays are spent taking the kids to and from school and various activities. Angelle is in dancing and pep squad and Kristian is in Beta club. We eat dinner together as a family nightly with Meme (my mom). Weekends are family time. The kids may have friends over or we just hang out have cookouts, seafood boils, or just work in the yard.
We are very fortunate that my entire family lives within 30 minutes of us and my mom lives on the property behind us. We see my mom daily and my sisters at least once a week, usually more though. We take vacations together almost annually. Ray has one brother who lives 40 minutes away with his wife and children and a half brother who lives in Germany. Ray’s parents live out of state so we only see them once or twice a year.
Ray works in the oilfield which allows him to be home a lot more than most dads. He is a very hands on dad and will do whatever the kids need him to whether that be work on a project, help getting past the next level on a video game ( which I am not help with!), to just listening to whatever is on their mind. I am a stay at home mom which I love since I get to spend a lot of quality time with the kids. I help at school whenever there is a need other than that I am just available whenever they need me.
Ray & I have so much love inside of us that we would love to be able to share with another child. If you choose us to be the parents of your precious baby not a day will go by that we will not be eternally grateful to you. Your baby will receive all the love in the world from us, the children, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and numerous cousins. We will make sure your baby knows what a wonderful, selfless thing you have done for him/her in choosing us to be his/her parents.





We hope that through these photos you can get a glimpse of who we are. We are a family oriented, fun loving couple who has so much love to give. Thank you for taking the time to consider us. We have an enormous amount of respect for you and wish nothing but the best for you and your baby.
