~A "Brief" Biography ~
My name is Joyce Kovar and I am the artist at Zoe’s Angel Babies Nursery.
I first learned about reborning nearly 3 years ago after melting into a
hopeless heap of love at first sight when I saw my first reborn baby!
I knew I had stumbled upon what was going To be a large part of my life.
Even as a little girl, I was mesmerized With the beauty of young babies and children.
I could watch baby expressions for hours…and did.
Wherever a baby was, I could be found.
As a little girl, I was a talkative, curious, detail-oriented, and creative thinker.
I was also very nurturing. I loved anything baby, small, pink, blue and cute!
My grandmother taught me many of the knit and crochet basics.
But much of what I do is self taught.
I have been incredibly blessed with a wonderful husband who is also my closest friend
and the recipient of all my admiration and respect.
He is a blessing to me on many levels and I thank God every day that our paths crossed.
He is lucky to be employed from our home, which allows our children
to have a parent who is always home.
We have been blessed with many children.
The birth of my first daughter Sarah was while still a teenager.
Over the course of nearly 20 year, she was joined by 2 more sisters, 2 brothers, another sister and another brother!
I am also the mother of an angel, Baby Zoe Rachael, who was born February 4, 2006
Her 15 minutes of life on this earth changed me in ways
I cannot begin to describe in this brief space.
With much regret, and incredible sadness,
I did not get the chance to mother her on this earth.
My babies are made in her memory, in honor of her and made with just a little extra love.
I wear many other hats….
I defied the odds of what typical young motherhood entails.
I went to college part time, taking 6 years to get my degree in molecular biology.
I then went on to medical school, taking 6 years to get an MD degree.
I was very fortunate to attend a Jesuit university who supported
and understood I was a mother too
I served as a Navy Medical Officer for 4 years.
My passion was OBGYN, pregnancy, birth, babies, moms...
I trained and nearly completed a residency in OBGYN all the while growing more discontent
At what I was giving up in order to gain this
We decided to leave Medicine, enjoy our children and reevaluate priorities
Why did I do all of this?
I think its because someone told me it couldn’t be done.
Very hesitantly I say, it can be done.
I learned there is a price tag attached to all things
After a much needed 3 year breather, I did decide to reenter Medicine this time
listening to my right mind, taking up my 2nd love, Pathology
A specialty that doesn't entail sleep deprivation, family alienation and major time deficits!
I am currently a fellow in surgical pathology and love, love, love what I do.
I began reborning babies while on my hiatus.
I loved it so much I couldn't imagine stopping when returning to work, so I didn't
I reborned for family and friends long before I began selling my babies
Reborning is something I enjoy deeply on many levels.
I hope this shows in my work!
There is nothing more exciting to me than to watch the transformion
of these babies as they go through the reborning process
It still continues to amaze me!
I'm driven by nature and so this compulsive and detail-oriented side won’t rest until I have reached a level of realism that is my personal best.
I do not rush my reborning process as quality and realism is extremely important to me.
I won't go into a lot of detail here about my reborning process
as that is found in great detail when I list a baby for sale.
I will share that I insist on using only the best materials for my babies.
I buy the best mohair on the market.
I carefully observe and am constantly trying new techniques
to reach that next level of realism.
I spend many, many hours, days and weeks with each baby,
bringing them to life.
My timeline is very much dependent upon my work schedule
and I reborn only as my time allows.
Only when a baby is ready,
is when he or she is sold either through word of mouth or on eBay.
No baby is ever rushed.
As a result, I have been blessed with many, many happy adoptive parents,
many repeat buyers, and have sold babies all over the world.
Reborning is my passion and my creative outlet.
You can always be guaranteed at getting the highest quality reborn from me at
Zoe’s Angel Babies Nursery.
