Barb is one of the most compassionate individual I have ever worked with. We adopted our youngest and she was our social worker. I adore how she always asked my other three children how they felt, what their thoughts were, and answered every question they had (no matter how silly or big or small). She also was there through ever step of the way! She helped us with ensuring our adoption communication with our birth family was positive and growing. I would highly recommend Barb and the agency for any adoption services. She is the real deal. Love, kindness, honesty, compassion and trust! We could not have done it with out Barb. And we are grateful for her. Thank you Barb for assisting in completing our family!
