Kind Words from Friends

| My friend Rosemary and I at her home |
"Joyce would make a caring, loving, kind and inspirational
parent. Her honesty, integrity, and openness are beautiful qualities. Any child would be fortunate to have Joyce
as a Mother." Rosemary Lyons, friend of 20 years, Mother of 7 (2 adopted), Grandmother of 12 (2
adopted)

“Joyce is one of the kindest, most good-hearted people I know.
For many years now, I have known Joyce as both an extremely responsible and effective teaching colleague, as
well as a dedicated friend. I have seen her work and play with children and I believe she would make some lucky child
a wonderful mother.” Barry Covington, friend of 12 years, Father

| My friend and 3rd grade colleague Sharon and I at school |
"It is clear to me that
Joyce is an individual whose integrity I would not question. She holds doing what is right and being fair in high regard.
I know Joyce has wanted to be a parent for a long time. I admire the effort and commitment she has put
forth in pursuing that goal. I believe Joyce will be a responsible, committed, loving parent."
Sharon Enea, friend and colleague of 5 years, single mother of 2 adopted children
“As Joyce’s Realtor, I have been involved in helping her buy her first home. When we look at houses I imagine her and her baby in
the house, which makes it even more important to me to help her find right property. In looking at homes her concerns
are about how the neighborhood would be for a child, the safety of the home and property and if the room that will be the
baby’s has lots of light and warmth. My observations about Joyce as a person are that she is a highly conscientious, caring, intelligent, empathetic,
and family oriented person. She obviously loves children and would be a remarkable parent. Any child would
be lucky to have her as their Mother.” Janet Reilly, Mother of 3, Grandmother of 2 (ages 4 and 1)

| My friends Monica, Jody, and I |
"Joyce is one of the most responsible,
fun-loving people I know. She is a beautiful person, inside and out, and has the ability to really listen
to people, which is something very rarely found in anyone. She is very caring and kind, and is someone
I know I can always count on during good times and bad. Joyce is a great friend and will be a great Mom!"
Jody Lopez, friend of 7 years, Mother of 3

"Joyce and I have been best friends since high school. Joyce has become part of my extended family.
I am one of 7 children and all my brothers and sisters and mother always ask how Joyce is doing. When Joyce is in town my
siblings all try to see her. I believe she has attended every one of my siblings’ weddings.
I know Joyce is going to be an excellent mother. She is an extremely patient person and loves children
very much. When she visits, I can see how much she enjoys spending time with my two kids. She is calm, rational and composed,
and manages to handle a classroom full of kids! Joyce takes good care of herself and I believe these
good traits would carry over to good parenting. Any child who Joyce would have the privilege of adopting would
be truly fortunate, blessed and loved unconditionally.” Elizabeth Sweatman, friend of 25 years, Mother of 2, sister of 2 adopted siblings
