Our staff:
Whitney O'Connell and Ashley A. Byers have worked with families who have adopted domestically and internationally since 1994. In 2008, after working for 14 years in the field of adoption, they decided to start an adoption agency where they could work one on one with adoptive couples and families, while providing efficient and affordable adoption services.
Middle, South and Coastal Georgia caseworker: Julia Stevens. After a ten year career working with families through the Department of Human Resources, Julia came to the field of adoptions. Like all of our staff, she has worked in every aspect of adoptions, from conducting home studies and counseling birth parents, to dossier preparation for international adoptive families and post-placement visits.
In addition, our Agency has two highly qualified Licensed Clinical Social Workers on staff.
