Meet Joe and Becky

Dear Birthparent,

It's funny how God brings people together. We knew there was someone out there who would join us on this journey. We knew God had already chosen a birthmother for us, it would just take us a while for our paths to cross. Just like the feeling you have when you meet your solemate, when we meet we know our birthmother will know we are the right couple for her child.

Our names are Joe and Becky and we have been married for 5 ½ years. We have a son, Justin who is 3 years old, and we are very excited to be parents again. Becky was adopted at 4 months old and Joe's grandmother was also adopted so our trying to adopt is not a surprise to either family. It always seemed logical to us to adopt and feel it is the path God has led us to now.

About Joe - Joe is a very outgoing man. He loves to talk, tell stories and has a contagious laugh. He easily makes people feel comfortable and will do anything for them. His sensitive side is one reason that he has so many friends. Everyone that meets him likes him. Joe grew up in a close family, which lived in the country. He has a sister that is married with two children and a brother that is married with one child, that live in our home town. Joe was born in North Carolina but lived most of his life in Tennessee. While growing up in Tennessee he lost a sister at birth. His family didn't have much but the children were raised knowing that family comes first and is the most important thing. Family trips to NC to visit grandparents and cousins were always something he looked forward to. Joe enjoys hunting, fishing and being outdoors and he is very good at building and fixing things. He is a Christian man and has strong morals and values.

Joe's Nana was born in Lula, Oklahoma to a Native American mother and Caucasian father that were unable to parent her due to health problems. She was adopted by a preacher and his family in Hendersonville, NC, after riding a boxcar with many other children that were available for adoption.

About Becky - Becky is quieter than Joe, more reserved and not as quick to speak her mind. Becky is the only child in her family and is very close to her parents who live only a couple hours away. She was born and raised in Miami, Florida and feels she had a great childhood. Becky enjoyed the comforts of warm weather and beaches while also vacationing in the Keys, Disney World and camping. Becky loves horses and took horseback riding lessons just to have the opportunity to be around horses. She now enjoys cooking, gardening, cross-stitch, Christmas collectibles and being a wife and mother. Becky has a strong Christian faith and knows that God will guide them to their next child.

Becky's feelings about being adopted - "Like any adopted child I was curious about my birthparents. I had limited, very general information about my birthparents that my parents got from the agency. I was tickled to know I looked just like the description of my birthmother. Just like Joe and I, the agency said my mother was quiet and my father very outgoing. I always knew I was adopted but felt unconditional love from my parents just like children that weren't adopted. I feel my positive experience with this would be beneficial to any child. As an only child I always dreamed of having a brother or sister and I can't wait to be a mother to siblings."

Justin is 3 and has a great blend of both of our personalities. He is smart, chatty, loves everyone he meets and is a sensitive child. He loves other children and usually hugs them at the end of a play date. Justin loves to talk and enjoys following his Dad around imitating him. If Joe is working in the yard, Justin is out there with his little lawnmower, weed eater and leaf blower. He enjoys his trucks and trailers. He pretends to back them up and hook the boat like he's seen his father do a million times. He also likes working with Mom inside the house. He'll pull up a chair to the counter and try to stir and mix things. He wants to pour juice in his cup but hasn't learned not to turn the bottle completely upside down yet. When I make a cake I'll put the mixer on the kitchen table where he can see it and watch the ingredients mix. Of course he wants it done quick for a taste of the goodies!

Our house - We live in a nice, established subdivision in a small town, only a few miles from the city. We chose our house because it was brick surrounded with big oak trees. It has 3 large bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, a spacious family room, living and dining room, and kitchen. We enjoy spending time on the screened porch and deck and playing in the back yard, which is fenced in. We have one dog and cat that are best buddies. They both were adopted from a veterinary clinic that Becky used to work at. They are getting older and are very mellow.

We both have good jobs with excellent medical and vacation benefits. Joe works a shift job, which allows him time off during the week. Becky is off on weekends and is allowed flextime to work, as it is most beneficial to her family. This way we both get to have quality time at home with our children.

God picked us out but it took a while for us to find each other. We feel like this is another one of Gods plans, for us to meet you. We are loving, nurturing parents and would raise your child the best we can to prepare him or her for a bright future with lots of opportunities. We want to thank you for considering us as the adoptive parents for your baby. We hope you will be comfortable with whomever you choose for your child.

Sincerely,

Joe and Becky
