Thank you for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. We will love your child as we would our own birth child. We feel we have a lot to offer as adoptive parents as we are emotionally and financially stable, and at a point in our lives where we are ready to give all our love and attention.
Joy and FrankIntroducing Ourselves
We have been married almost 21 years. We met in high school and even had a locker together! Frank was 21 and Joy was 18 when we got married. Like many kids we had our careers in mind at the time, and focused our time and energy on building a future. We have had many happy years together...and they have all been great! We have been many interesting places together, and have just really enjoyed our marriage, and each other. We are now ready to share our lives with a child. We look forward to raising him or her with our strong val-ues, in a very happy home setting with lots of extended family. Both of us work from our home office, and have a very flexible schedule. We own invest-ment and rental properties, and also run an internet brokerage firm.
about usAll About Us
Frank says: Joy is the most loving person I know. I have always been amazed with her ability to help other people through hardship, or just hard decisions. People, both family and friends always seem to come to Joy for advice. She is very strong emotionally and very level headed. She has always been ath-letic and has recently become involved in natural health. Her hobbies include exercise, hunting, fishing, reading, gardening and canning. She can read a book in 3 days, and generally has 3 books going at once! I can honestly say I do not know of anyone in the world I would think more capable of being a great mother than Joy.
JoyFrank Describes Joy
Joy says: Frank is an adventuresome soul! He loves to do projects around the house...and there is usually always something that he is working on. You can-not tell Frank that something is impossible, because that means that he will find a way to make it happen. Last year Frank purchased an airplane, and then spent several months completing his training and obtaining his pilot license. His hobbies include flying his airplane, hunting, fishing, target shooting, spending time on the creek in his kayak and playing with our two dogs Nena & Rocky. I know Frank will make a great Dad as he will spend time with his child teaching him or her to do many things...and I am sure a lot of that time will be spent outdoors.
FrankJoy Describes Frank
Frank still has both of his parents, and they are excited about accepting a new grandchild into the family. Frank also has two brothers, an 8 year old niece, a 21 year old nephew and another nephew on the way. Our niece is well be-haved and super cute. She likes to fish and play at the creek, and chase chick-ens when she comes to visit. We both really enjoy spending time with our niece. She also loves riding in our airplane, and fancies that there are dragons in the clouds! She loves both of her uncles and they are almost always laugh-ing and playing silly games.

Joy’s parents recently celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary. They do not have any grandchildren yet, and so are super excited about the prospect. They live on forty acres out in the country within about ten miles of our home. Joy also has one brother who is looking forward to becoming an uncle.

Frank & niece
We live on 100 acres in the country. We both grew up in the country and always missed it after we got married and moved to the city. We worked hard and saved until 4 years ago when were able to buy our farm. It is a wonderful place and will be an awesome place for a boy or girl to grow up. Our home is on a hill overlooking prairie meadow with a creek running through it! It is our idea of heaven on earth, and we both feel very blessed. There is an empty spot in our home...and after many tears and some honest soul searching we both long to start our family.
