  • Hello, I'm the youngest of the five children. This is awesome. I can't believe it! I was adopted in 1998 along with my sister, Julia Josephine Evans, who was adopted in 1997 from Indonesia XD. This is a picture of our family including my Grandparents; Alfred Eric Drayton and Violet Lillias Drayton, my parents, Roderick John Evans and Josephine Evans, my brothers, Andrew Carrick Evans (wife: Tika Sari Evans), Christopher Eric Evans (wife: Dewi Utami Evans), and Jeffery Phillip Evans. My nieces; Jasmine Utami Evans and Tamara Pauline Evans, and nephews; Isaac Untung Evans and Benjamin Roderick Evans. Since this photograph was taken my brother, Jeffery, has married Cristiane Andretta in 2011. This photo was taken in 2008 before my grandfather, Afred Eric Drayton passed away in 2008 and my grandmother, Violet Lillias Drayton in 2012.
