Nope.
Joseph is Jesus's stepfather. Mary is either the biological mother OR the earliest known surrogate mother. I am unaware of anything Biblical which specifically states Mary is genetically Jesus's mother, so it could go either way.

Jesus is the Son of God, Mary and Joseph are not a God

Jesus is the Son of God and Mary is the Mother of God the Son, Joseph meanwhile had the honour of being Jesus' foster father. But neither Joseph or Mary are gods in their own right.

Joseph isn't Jesus' father, Mary was a virgin when she bore Jesus, the holy spirit gave mary a baby, which was Jesus, so no, nor Joseph or Mary are God.

Literalist interpretation: Then God, in the form of Jesus, decided to become human and provide a sacrifice for man's sins, the normal human vehicles were used (including the mother, father, etc.). The mother, however, conceived Jesus via God's miraculous working. In this way, Mary and Joseph are certainly not God.
Non-literalist interpretation: The Son of God is a metaphor for the actual nature of everyone and everything, a unity that transcends individuality. When someone has an enlightenment experience and directly experiences this identity, they become a symbol for the rest of us of this. So, in this way, we are all really the Son of God. But we don't know it and the term is reserved in many cases for those, like Jesus and the Buddha, who have a direct experience of Reality. Of course, in Buddhism, the Son of God term isn't directly used but we can find terms that equate.
So ... in both interpretations, the answer to your question is no.

God was Jesus father. Mary was human. Joseph was human and Jesus' step-father.

Everybody can't run around being God. Jesus is the Son of God and Joseph and Mary were his parents on earth. You do realize that you're going to get 10 pages of cut and pasted bible scriptures and you have to read them to pick the best answer. It's gonna suck to be you!

Neither Mary nor Joseph are gods or god-like. Joseph is Jesus' step-father, BTW.

No, Joseph is a step dad, Mary a chosen vessel to carry the Christ child. The Holy Spirit is the one who over shadowed Mary and she conceived.
