The adoption world is filled with uncertainties and complexities. It can feel overwhelming! Having an Adoption Consultant there to walk alongside you makes all the difference. I'd love to be a part of your journey.
Adoption isn't a road you want to walk alone. And you don't have to. What are the benefits to using an Adoption Consultant?
As your consultant, I'm ready to guide and support you throughout your adoption journey to help you find joy even in the ups and downs of the journey. So what exactly is an Adoption Consultant?
I am an adoption professional who provides you with invaluable resources, education, guidance, and prayer as I help you connect with multiple adoption agencies and attorneys.
Depending on where you're at in your adoption journey, as your Adoption Consultant, I will:
- Recommend licensed home study providers in your area
- Point you to successful adoption grants, loans, and fundraisers
- Connect you with a professional profile designer specializing in modern books
- Point you to recommended agencies and attornies based on your adoption preferences
- Equip you with information and resources to make informed decisions
- Help you assess risk levels as you consider presenting your profile to expectant moms
- Empower you with viewpoints from all members of the adoption triad
- Advocate, listen, encourage, and point you back to Jesus as I walk alongside you
I have helped over 200 families with their adoption journeys.
As your Adoption Consultant, I will not only draw from my own experience and training to serve you with excellence, I will be linked with other adoption professionals to provide you expert help. For the past twelve years, I've had the joy of being a part of the adoption world and have built lasting relationships along the way as I've continued to learn and grow. Sharing what I've learned with you in a passion of mine! (Here are just a few of my educational adoption posts: What's the Difference Between An Adoption Consultant and An Adoption Agency, Helping Your Child Process Adoption Throughout Their Lifetime, How To Tell Your Child They Were Adopted, Choosing A Name for The Child You Adopt.)
Families using an Adoption Consultant usually decrease their wait time.
I assist families in taking a "multi-agency approach," pointing families to various agencies in "adoption friendly" states. Applying to multiple agencies with my help typically significantly cuts down your wait time.

As your Consultant, my job is to be there for YOU. I work with you and for you.
Using an Adoption Consultant is different than using an adoption agency; I do not work with birth parents. Instead, I point you to multiple agencies and attorneys, helping you get your profile book out there to more expectant moms. Think of me like your own personal coach for your adoption journey.
With each part of your adoption process, I am here to help you think through all the complexities involved, and educate, support, and pray for you.
I've walked over 200 couples through their adoptions.
In addition to being an adoption professional who is in your corner, I’m an adoptive mama who understands the emotions involved with adoption because I’ve been there twice. (Check out my adorable 5!)
