Nael and his wife Susan had grown up in an orphanage themselves, and they had already started a serious relationship. Susan gave birth to their first child when she was only fourteen years old.
By adulthood, the couple had already had three children. The young Rayford family decided not to stop there, they wanted to give happiness to as many children as possible.
Susan gave birth almost every year, the youngest in their family she gave birth to at the age of forty-three, although this baby they no longer planned. But it balanced the number of brothers and sisters at Raiford, they became eleven each.
Nael and Susan’s eldest heir had recently celebrated his thirty-twoth birthday. This event coincided with the move to a huge new mansion, now each child has his own room.
The state supports the family with grants and subsidies, but the parents also have their own income, from the family bakery.
The amount of daily work that the Raifords face is staggering, the laundry alone is worth it, sometimes the machine works even at night so that the clothes are clean in the morning.
Nael and her eldest sons do their grocery shopping by minibus, so that they can buy everything they need for the family for the day.
The Raifords also holiday together. They hire a separate bus to get to the sea, and their trips are usually paid for by the town hall or sponsors.
It is not known whether they will have another child; anything can happen, and then the balance between girls and boys will have to be considered again.
