A few months had passed and Fran was growing desperate. She had been to their lawyer's office a dozen times hoping that this time she would find Joe. As she made her way home, she made a checklist in her head. First she had to talk with Max. As she walked in the front door she hung up her coat and then made her way towards the office.
"Hello darling, how did everything go at the lawyer's?" Maxwell asked taking off his glasses. Fran made her way around the desk and sat on Max's lap.
"Oh sweetie, Chandler didn't find Joe again. I don't think I'm ever going to find him," Fran cried as she walked to the couch and sat down.
"Oh sweetheart don't you worry. We'll find him," Max said trying to reassure her as he made his way over to the couch. "Wait a minute darling I just got an idea," Max said, "Joseph is a fairly common name and if the people who adopted him had a common last name then we could be searching for years before we get anywhere. However if we searched for the couple who adopted Joe rather than for Joe himself then we'll know-"
"That we have the right Joe! Oh honey you're a genius!" Fran squealed.
The next day Max escorted Fran to the lawyer's office. As they walked in Chandler greeted them both with a handshake. "Mr. And Mrs. Sheffield, what can I do for you?" Chandler asked as he gestured for them to sit down. Max nodded his thanks and waited until Fran was seated before he sat and began speaking.
"Well Chandler we were wondering if instead of you searching for Joe, you could search for the people who adopted him? Their names are Scott and Dara Rockwell." Chandler looked from Maxwell to Fran and back to Maxwell. "Are you guys sure you want to do that?" Chandler asked.
"Yes we are," Fran responded before Max could. "Okay I can do that," Chandler said with a smile. Fran and Max finished up the meeting and went home.
After a couple of weeks, Chandler phoned the Sheffield house. He was able to find Scott and Dara and had arranged for a meeting on Tuesday.
