We are so excited to introduce you to this amazing, home study approved Purl Family, and Minnesota adoptive family: Joel and Julie! Joel proposed to Julie in the spot where they had their first date. They have been married for 7 years, and are so excited to share their love with a little one through the journey of adoption!
People describe Joel and Julie as laidback, loyal, and loving. This family has “Pizza Fridays” and have fun making pizza every week. They work alongside each other, so Joel and Julie spend a lot of time together, and love every minute! These two enjoy exploring parks and restaurants in their city and hanging out with their friends. In Joel’s word, Julie is smart, fun to be around, and is the best friend he’s ever had. He is beyond ready to see her amazing qualities show up in all kinds of ways for their child one day. According to Julie, Joel is selfless and always finding ways to help others. As she puts it, Joel has been her rock for all these years, and can’t wait to see him become a father and be that for their kids as well. They were both drawn to adoption before they even met and can’t wait to add to their family!
If you or someone you know is facing an unplanned pregnancy and considering adoption for their child, we hope that you will think of Joel and Julie.
