Joan and her husband with their two adopted daughters

Joan's job at Lifetime involves answering phones, ordering supplies, sending packets and birthmother blessings, and overseeing the maintenance of our office facility. She especially enjoys being part of a team and encouraging all employees. Recently, Joan was able to meet an adoptive family who came to Lifetime's office with their new baby. About the experience, Joan said, "It was exciting to meet them because I had talked with them on the phone and also with their birthmother."

As an adoptive mother to two teenage daughters, Joan knows first-hand what is involved in the process of bringing together a birthmother and an adoptive family.

She has been married for 32 years and prior to coming to Lifetime, she and her husband owned a bed & breakfast. Joan's hobbies include sewing, decorating, and meeting in a weekly Bible study group.

When asked about Joan, another Lifetime staffer had these words of praise to share: "She is calm in the midst of the storm! She has a humble spirit and is a pleasure to work with."
