Adoption Profile: Ralph & Patty
Ralph…
I am sincere and honest, and have a very personable and outgoing personality with a great sense of humor. Our friends and family say that I’m very dependable and a very good listener. I find satisfaction in working hard (at work, at home, or for friends and relatives) and always willing to volunteer my time to help with projects. Halloween is my favorite time of year, with the cool crisp air and the leaves turning colors, but mostly I love dressing up in scary costumes. I love to go all out and decorate the outside of our house for Halloween and Christmas for everyone to enjoy. I love playing with our daughter, Sabrina, and acting like a kid again by chasing her around the house and making her laugh. My favorite vacation spot is Disney World.

Patty…
I’m a friendly and nice person who loves to laugh and make others laugh. I love to have people around me and enjoy spending many hours playing with our daughter. I am extremely organized after being an executive secretary for 10 years before returning to college to get my degree. I am the youngest of eight siblings and enjoy large family gatherings. I enjoy traveling to explore new places and can’t wait to share this with our children. I love the beach and playing by the pool with Sabrina. One of my favorite pastimes is making crafts for around the house and to give as gifts to family and friends.

Our Family…
We are a very loving family who above all enjoy having fun and spending time together. We both grew up in Cincinnati and have our families close by and visit often. We bought our home in 2003 and it is in a nice suburban area and the kids in the neighborhood are always outside playing and running through the yards and on the wooded trails through the back yards.
Our daughter, Sabrina, was born in August 2006 and has brown hair and brown eyes and is part Korean. She is always smiling and has a very cheerful personality. She joined our family through adoption and brings us so much joy and happiness. Her adoption was open and we keep in contact with her birthparents and provide a secure website of family photos they can look at anytime. She loves to sing and dance, and especially loves to have books read to her. She is so excited about having a baby brother or sister!
Our family and friends are very supportive of our decision to adopt again and see it as a wonderful way for us to grow our family. We will create a loving, supportive and fun atmosphere in which your child will thrive and know they are loved.
