Our staff:
Whitney O'Connell and Ashley A. Byers have worked with families who have adopted domestically and internationally since 1995. After working for 14 years in the field of adoption, they decided to create an adoption agency where they could work one on one with clients, while providing efficient and affordable adoption services.
Donna Booth, Adoption Supervisor, is an invaluable member of our staff. She has worked in the field of adoptions for over 20 years. Donna has extensive experience in child-development and counseling adoptive parents.
The newest member to our staff is Julia Stevens. After a ten year career working with underprivileged families through the Department of Human Resources, Julia came to the field of adoptions in 2000. Like all of our staff, she has worked in almost every aspect of adoptions, from conducting home studies and counseling birth parents, to dossier preparation for international adoptive families and post-placement visits.
