Building Our Journey Together: Love, Faith, and Perseverance

We met in 2018 through a mutual friend, and from the moment we connected, we felt an instant bond. We quickly realized that we shared so many values, like our love for good food, traveling, and the dream of building a strong life together. That same year, we got engaged, and in 2020, despite the challenges brought on by the pandemic, we celebrated our wedding. Even though the circumstances were tough, our love and partnership became the foundation that made that moment unforgettable.

I’m Joyce, a Brazilian who’s passionate about children, great food, and exploring new places. My faith is a significant part of my life, and I find strength and inspiration in reading the Bible. Andy, originally from Massachusetts, is kind-hearted and a devoted son, with a close and loving relationship with his parents. We also work together, which strengthens our bond and makes our partnership even more meaningful in every area of our lives.

One of the biggest challenges we’ve faced in recent years has been infertility. We both dream of becoming parents, and although we’ve tried multiple times without success, we remain hopeful and determined. It’s been an emotionally challenging journey, but it has also brought us closer together, and we continue to support each other through it all. Our faith helps us believe that the right time will come.

This journey, with all its challenges and victories, has shaped our story as a couple who truly value unity and perseverance. We believe that every obstacle we face together is an opportunity to grow and strengthen our bond. As we continue to build a life filled with love, hope, and meaning, we are reminded of the power of partnership and faith in each other.

Our Family

Our family traditions are rooted in love and connection. We look forward to passing them down to our future child, whether it’s celebrating Thanksgiving with a big meal, enjoying Christmas gift-giving, or spending time together during the summer. Andy’s family, with Portuguese roots, enjoys outdoor activities. Joyce, who misses Brazilian food, ensures traditional dishes are part of our gatherings. We’re excited to blend these cultures and help our child feel connected and loved.

A Home of Love and Comfort: Preparing the Perfect Environment for Our Child

Home is where the heart is" is a saying that resonates deeply with us, as we understand the importance of a loving and stable environment for a child to grow up in. Our home is not just a physical space; it’s a place filled with warmth, love, and the promise of a future full of support and happiness. As we prepare to welcome a child into our lives, we are excited to share the vision of the loving home we’ve created and how it will provide the nurturing environment every child deserves.

Our home is located in a peaceful and welcoming neighborhood, where we have the opportunity to connect with nature while also being close to a variety of community resources. We live in a family-friendly area, with parks, libraries, and schools all within a short distance. These surroundings will provide a safe and enriching environment for our child to grow, explore, and develop. From walks in the park to visits to the local library, our child will be surrounded by opportunities for learning and discovery, all within a secure and inviting community.

The inside of our home is just as thoughtful and nurturing as its surroundings. We have created a space that is warm and inviting, with each room reflecting our love for family and comfort. The nursery is already being prepared, filled with cozy furniture, colorful decorations, and a sense of peace. We’ve chosen soft colors and calming accents to create a space where our child will feel safe and loved. Every corner of our home is designed to foster a sense of security and joy, ensuring that our child will have a place where they can grow up feeling cherished and supported.

We believe in the importance of family time and creating memories together. Our home is a place where we gather for meals, share stories, and make lasting memories. Whether it’s sitting down to a homemade dinner, enjoying movie nights, or simply spending time in the backyard, we have made sure that our home is a place where love and laughter are constant. We want our child to grow up in an atmosphere where they can always feel the strength of family bonds and the joy of being part of a close-knit, loving household.

In addition to a nurturing home, we are committed to offering our child a supportive and enriching environment as they grow. We’ll encourage their curiosity and creativity, allowing them to explore their interests, make mistakes, and learn. Whether it’s through outdoor adventures, crafting, reading together, or simply being there for them during
