Nancy returned to adoption practice in 1991. Since that time, she has served as a counselor for birthparents considering adoption and adoption social worker to domestic, international and embryo adoptive families. It is her passion to teach others about adoption while encouraging them to understand the roles, fears, and needs of all parties in the adoption process. Nancy encourages positive adoption language while communicating accurate information about the relationship, legal, medical and ethical issues.

adult children who have blessed them with five
grandchildren from ages six months to seven years
