The first time I remember thinking about my future family was in the third grade when a new girl named Katie joined our school. I thought to myself, “Wow, that is the most beautiful name I have ever heard.” For the next few years, I named all my dolls and favorite Barbies Katie. I couldn’t wait to grow up
