Our Founder and Executive Director, Coleen says, "I didn’t intend to work in adoption, but the adoption world ended up choosing me." Coleen stands as a compassionate bridge between two complex and deeply emotional experiences in the world of adoption. 

As an adoptive parent, she intimately understands the joys, challenges, and nuanced emotions that come with welcoming a child into her home. Coleen's extensive work with birth mothers has provided her with invaluable insights into their experiences. She has witnessed firsthand the courage, strength, and often heart-wrenching decisions that birth mothers face. 

Coleen's dual perspective allows her to empathize with and advocate for both sides of the adoption triad. She recognizes that while adoptive parents offer a loving home and a future filled with possibilities, birth mothers provide an irreplaceable gift and often carry the weight of their decision long after placement. This understanding creates a deep respect for the complexities and emotions involved in adoption, making her a compassionate supporter and guide for all parties involved.

Through her unique vantage point, Coleen works tirelessly to promote open and respectful dialogues between adoptive parents and birth mothers. She believes in the power of open adoption and ongoing communication, where possible, to ensure that children grow up with a fuller understanding of their identity and origins. By bridging the gap between these two worlds, Coleen helps create a more understanding and supportive adoption community, one that honors the experiences and contributions of both adoptive parents and birth mothers.
