Our Family

“The love of a family is life's greatest blessing.” ~Author Unknown

Ray and Lois have been extremely blessed to have wonderful, close family.

Ray's Parents

Grandmommy and Grandpoppy live 10 minutes away, and enjoy spending time with the whole family. Ray definitely inherited his huge heart from his mom who loves people and is extremely social. Ray's dad appears outwardly to be the tough guy, but we know different. He has been known to be seen playing horsey on the floor as two young boys jump on his bad back. There is no doubt that his grandkids are his pride and joy. Grandmommy is retired and grandpoppy will be retiring shortly.

Having placed children for adoption herself, Ray's mother realizes the importance of finding a good family to care for your child, and is excited that we are looking to provide that family to a child.

Ray has a large extended family of four aunts, three uncles and lots of cousins that keep in touch throughout the year.

Lois' family

Mommom and Uncle Donnie (Lois' brother) live in a more rural area about 20 minutes away. They have a great big backyard to run and play in with cows and horses for neighbors. They own their own business nearby, and often stop by for visits on their days off. They love to have the boys come to visit so they can spoil them rotten.

Lois also has a large extended family with four aunts and three uncles just like Ray. Her extended family totals more than 40 wonderful family members that all live within an hour of each other. The tribe includes her cousins, and their children ranging in age from 2 to 25, and even one grandchild added in the mix. Each year they commit to getting together for a family reunion with a different family member hosting each year.
