I have a background in education and nursing and found my true calling as a social worker later in life. I have both a personal and professional interest in adoption and work exclusively in that field. I am a widow with grown children and my work is an important part of my life. I love life and living things including people, animals, and plants, and also enjoy reading, exercising, and spending time with family and friends.

Stacy got involved with child welfare immediately after graduating from Florida State University in 2007. Stacy has worked directly with families through the dependency system and loves to help create families through the process of adoption. It quickly became a passion for her and over the years she has gained expertise in the following adoption areas: Special Needs, Relative, Domestic, International, Embryo, and both state and private adoptions. Stacy currently resides in the panhandle of Florida with her husband. Together in their free time, they enjoy traveling, boating, and spending time with their families. Stacy is a warm and compassionate person who cares about the welfare of children and their futures. She looks forward to being able to assist you in becoming the family you have always dreamed of being. She is a dedicated activist for you and the children that she works for.

I was first exposed to and became interested in adoption work during an internship in 1999, I had always wanted to work with children and it became clear that bringing families together via adoption was the perfect fit for me. I began working with Children’s House International in 2002. I have also worked with The Dave Thomas Foundation as Wendy’s Wonderful Kids Recruiter, where I helped older children in foster care find their forever families. I have also worked with birth mothers and adoptive families via domestic adoptions here in Florida. My husband and I became adoptive parents in 2010 when we adopted our daughter Hope from China. I earned a Bachelor’s in Psychology in 1998, and Masters in Social Work in 2000. I then became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in 2005. I am married with two children, Bella and Hope, both four years of age. My hobbies include reading and spending lots of time with my family.

Working with adoptive families for the past twenty-seven years has been deeply satisfying and inspiring. It is a joy to help people realize their dreams of having a family. In addition to my work with adoption, I have a psychotherapy practice providing services to individuals and couples. I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work at Boston University and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am married and have two adult sons and a granddaughter I adore. In my leisure time, I love to read, grow orchids, bicycle, and travel.
