“My wife and I had signed up with an out-of-state agency but we’re relationship-oriented people who wanted to be treated like individuals, not just a number,” Aaron said.“That particular agency was all about money. They didn’t provide any facts and preyed upon our emotions.” Luckily, they were referred to Andrea by a friend who had a successful adoption through her. “We had an immediate connection with Andrea and we loved her spiritual beliefs,” Amy said. “Andrea’s calming presence and professional demeanor impressed us. She listened to us and was very honest. She was also kind and caring. She opened her heart to us. We shared tears of joy as well as sadness, like a family. Andrea is also current in all the various facets of the adoption world. She is truly gifted in her talents.” Today, Amy and Aaron celebrate the blessing of their adoption. “Once you start the process, stay the course knowing that your goal is attainable. How it comes to fruition is up to God,” Amy added. “You should be united in your decision and then seek out Andrea. It’s not always black and white. She helps fill in the grey areas and the unknown.”
