Both of Joseph’s biological parents Symphony Manke and Joshua Simmerson
live in north Florida where they met. Shortly before she was due,
Symphony absconded to Utah. Symphony had Joseph at Pioneer Valley
hospital where she placed him up for adoption without his father’s
consent. Joseph was born on February 19, 2007, he was 20 inches long and
weighed 7lbs 3oz. Joseph is pictured here with mother and adoptive
parents Matt and Heather. We have been told Matt and Heather are both
schoolteachers in Georgia, but have not been able to verify. All
Correspondences to them were routed through an unlisted P.O. Box owned
by the adoption agency, so we are not sure if any of them every arrived.The rest of the people are listed by first name
only to make it easier for Joseph’s caretakers to confirm they have
found the correct people. If you are listed and would like more of your
information made available or you are not listed and would like to be
let us know we are eager to expand this page with greater
detail.
