Darryl & Katt

Hi! We are Katt and Darryl, a playful and supportive couple in southern Ohio. We’ve been married for 9 years and can’t wait to be first-time parents.

Katt was adopted as a baby. She learned firsthand how adoption can give a child love, safety, and room to grow. Her experience is why we’ve always wanted to adopt and share that same love and support with our child.

Our Story

We met on a sunny afternoon on a walk outside our office. Katt caught up with Darryl, thought he was cute, and asked him out. We’ve been best friends ever since.

We’re both engineers who balance technical minds with playful hearts. Our life together is a mix of cozy evenings and big adventures. We enjoy celebrating small moments, like listening to rain on our porch or winding down with a good book and a cat in our lap.

Here’s a glimpse into our life together:

Meet Katt

Katt is positive, curious, and empathetic. She started as a structural engineer and matured into a people leader at her company. Her greatest passion is helping others discover their talents and grow into their best selves.

Katt was adopted into a family full of love and acceptance. Her parents raised three very different kids (only one biological), and celebrated adoption days like birthdays. Those moments helped her grow up feeling secure and proud of being adopted. Because of that, adoption has always felt like a comfortable and meaningful way for us to grow our family.

Things Katt enjoys:

Meet Darryl

Darryl is humble, steady, and kind. He’s a perfect complement to Katt’s silliness. He designs jet engines for a living and builds handmade furniture for fun. Raised in rural North Carolina, he was the first in his family to graduate from a four-year college, and he’s never stopped learning since.

What he loves:

Our Family

We both come from big, loving families who are excited to meet our child.

Katt’s family lives nearby, and we see them often for birthdays, dinners, and holidays. Her childhood memories include playing kickball in her front yard with her cousins, riding bikes in the neighborhood parade, and playing board games with her two brothers until bedtime.

Darryl’s family lives in North Carolina, and we visit them often. Every visit includes s’mores around a campfire, stargazing, and an Escape Room or two. His parents and sister can’t wait to become an aunt and grandparents again!

Family traditions we’re excited to share:

Our Home in Ohio

We live in a historic, 3-story house filled with character and warmth. It has plenty of room to grow, including a nursery, a playroom, and spare bedrooms for family and friends. There’s a greenhouse upstairs and a video game sanctuary in our family room.

They will grow up knowing where they came from, how deeply they are loved, and how their story began with you.
