Joe and Elle Adoption Profile
From Our Friends & Family
What they say about us ...
Vi & Zen
Family Friends
I have known Elle and Joe for over 6 years. I first met Elle at work where we first interacted as a team member and we quickly became friends.
I had a pleasure of meeting Joe about 4+ years ago when we had been on an outing with our spouses. I have known Joe since then and we all along with our kids have met a few times outside and at each others' residences.
Elle is a kind, genuine and reliable person/friend/colleague who is always there to lend a helping hand. She is the type of person you can count on to be there for you when you need her. Joe is a quiet and gentle and very polite to speak to. My interactions with Joe are always insightful and entertaining.
Elle and Joe have always shown great kindness and patience with my children and their child, Alex, as well. From observing the way they interact with their biological son and my kids, I know that they would both be excellent parents. They have a strong marriage and are committed to each other. They are both hard working and smart and are financially also able to provide a wonderful life to a child.
I've also had the pleasure of joining them on Alex's birthday in the past and often speak to Alex virtually. He is very smart and is always smiling. I see both Joe and Elle always spending the time to teach him new things, take him outdoors and spending as much time with him as they can. I wholeheartedly give my recommendation of Elle and Joe to adopt a child.
Tavia
Family Friend
Elle and I met about 2 years ago in the neighborhood park. I am a mother of 2 toddler boys and a baby girl now. At the time we met, I had recently had my 2nd son and my oldest was two-in-half years young. Alex was close to turning 4 years young. Elle and I had forged a quick and robust relationship. We laughed about all the trials and triumphs of being a boy mom. As time progressed, we began seeing one another more frequently and shared more and more stories of our everyday life.
​
Elle is quite spirited and humble. From the very moment I met Elle, she was riding around the park on her scooter alongside Alex on his scooter, as they laughed and would soar through the park. Not only does she engage with Alex but with all the children of the park. She evokes community, engagement and much laughter and conversation. I would observe how she would discipline Alex when he did something that wasn’t correct and it would be through means of gentleness, firmness and great big ol’ hugs followed up with a kiss on his cheek. I respect how attentive she is to him and is aware of where he is and what he’s doing at all times. Our conversations are always encouraging as I always look forward to meeting up with her to dialogue. We laugh about how our boys love to track sand throughout our homes when they come from rolling around in the sandpit at the park and how much of a nuisance it is to clean. But the smiles and their laughter makes it all worth it.
​
​Joe is a dynamic individual. His talks are worldly due to him being so cosmopolitan in his travels like Elle. He’s an imposing man with a big heart. His love for Alex is captivating and beautiful. He engages with Alex each and every time they’re in the park and makes genuine connections with other kids. We laugh about how the neighborhood ice cream truck parks, plots and preys on our kids whilst getting us to spend a substantial amount of money on their sweet tooth and putting it down to them simply enjoying a cool snack during the hot summer months.
​
Elle and Joe will make great parents because their love for Alex is unwavering and truly a blessing. When they’re together they are an unstoppable force of goodness that exudes pure love. Alex is a happy child and he is always smiling, laughing and speaking of his travels and majestic experiences with his parents. His mannerisms is exceptional and that is due to Elle and Joe always being their for him. I know they will be the same for their baby girl.
​
I would hope to be someone whom Elle and Joe can count on when they need a helping hand in caring for their baby girl. It certainly takes a village to raise children as my husband and I live out daily with our kids. Having a formidable support system is vital.
Don
Friend & Next Door Neighbor
My name is Don. I have been a neighbor to Joe and Elle for the past 6 years. As a neighbor, I have regular contact with Joe and Elle. We have keys to each other’s homes, and I have gotten to know them as friends over the past six years and seen them raise Alex during that time (As well as caring for their cats when they are on vacation).
Joe is an intelligent, interesting, and caring parent who is extremely active in Alex’s life. I have seen them playing with toys or out in the local playground. Joe is patient and thoughtful around Alex often meeting Alex around his needs. I have often seen them returning from the local Y after an afternoon of swimming together-this is but one activity among many that they share together.
Elle is equally a warm and caring parent who I often see playing with Alex. She is gentle but firm with Alex who is an energetic young boy. Elle is a good listener and is also patient. She is generous and lively and is always around for Alex. I would say that Joe and Elle best quality is that they are very present as parents. They are both greatly involved in Alex’s life and take special care to make sure his educational, emotional, and social needs are attended to. They are reliable as both parents and neighbors and have created an environment in their apartment which is kid friendly. I would continue to play the role of helpful neighbor, friend and guardian of their pets when they travel.
Krissy
Best Friend
Elle and I worked together over 15 years ago. She is one of the strongest, most successful, supportive, caring, and independent women I have ever met in my life. The list of descriptions is endless. Elle is a person who I admire and she personally plays a huge part in my life. Our memories together no matter where or how far apart we are, we are always the loudest women in a room or store for that matter. Our laughs can be heard a mile away. There is never a dull moment.
Joe is one of the hardest working, supportive, caring, talented, and genuine people I have met in my life. I met him a few years ago when Joe, Elle, and Alex came to Indiana to visit when we and our other best friend met up. Joe has such an amazing aura. Joe is amazing to be around and although usually quiet, can be just as loud as us women. I know Elle and Joe are and will be the greatest parents a child could possibly ever have.
You can see and feel the love, compassion, encouragement, they have for not only each other and their own child, but for any future child/children. Another factor is that they have stability, not only financially but mentally and emotionally. In their lives, I would be the distant family only because we reside in a different states, but always only a phone call or visit away. It would be simply amazing to continue to be a part of such a beautiful and loving family. We are there to be supportive, loving, and give any words of wisdom or encouragement.
