“Janet has made a highly impressive and immeasurable impact on families and child welfare professionals who are touched by the work of The Adoption Exchange. Gratefully, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with Janet through several contracted services; always finding her positivity and passion for the adoptee's perspective to add depth to our progressive “specialized training” and “family support services” programs. I believe that our organization and the foster/adoptive/kinship/guardianship families that we serve have benefited from Janet’s extensive knowledge, deep passion, exemplary achievements, and a strong background in child, adolescent, family, and marital therapy.”
