Our Adoption Q & A

Since our first post we have had a lot of questions about our adoption journey. We wanted to answer those questions as much as possible. So here goes. Josh and Shalee present.....

Our Adoption Q and A

Q: Are you already matched with a birth family?
A: No, we are hoping through family and friends sharing our story we will find a birth family who feels we are a good match. 

Q: What agency are you using?
A: We are not connected with an agency right now. We are hoping for a private, domestic adoption but are not ruling anything out for the future.

Q: What age child would you like to adopt?
A: We would like to adopt an infant if possible. But, we are open to consider all options.

Q: What type of adoption (open, semi-open, closed) would you like to have?
A: We would love to have an open or semi-open adoption, depending on the comfort level of the birth family.

Q: Why are you adopting?
A: For lots of reasons. We love children and want very much to have a family and we believe adoption is a wonderful way for two families to come together and make a difficult, amazing, choice together.

Q: How can I, as your family, friend, coworker, acquaintance, help?
A:The biggest way you can help us is by sharing our story. Whether that be through social media or word of mouth. It takes a village.



We cannot express fully how much love and support we have felt in jumping into this journey. We truly have the most wonderful family and friends anyone could ask for.

PaPa Kris

Name: PaPa (Kris) Career: Upon graduation I attended a Technical School studying Diesel Mechanics. I then started at Vulcraft when the plant opened and was a Leadman there over the riggers. I helped my father-in-law on the side at his Autobody repair shop, and that started my love of automobiles and the career to which I have been involved for 35 years. We purchased the shop from him when he retired and I decided to leave the same name (Bobs Body Shop) in honor of him. Me and my wife have worked side by side for 30 years, running a very successful business. Has it always been easy - probably not, but worth it - definitely so. I have instilled this love of the Autobody business in my son and nephew who work by my side daily also. Proud to say it will continue on as a third generation business. Favorite food: Mexican is probably at the top, but I am a true meat and potatoes man. I love a good hamburger and like to try new things when we are traveling. Love pumpkin- chocolate chips co
