Being At Peace With Our Adoption Story With Sheryl Proulx Birth Mother And Executive Director Adoption Options

Here's an introduction from Sheryl - the first birth mom to guest on Thriving Adoptees. "I have been connected to Adoption Options since 1990, as I first came to the agency as a client dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. Working with a professional social worker who provided a safe and non-judgmental environment for me to make a plan for my son and myself was incredibly impactful. I became a social worker and initially worked in Child Welfare as a case manager. In 2003, I was thrilled to join the AO team. My husband Steve and I have a beautiful little girl and an amazing relationship with my birthson and his family. I believe adoption is not for everyone, but a positive option to be considered.  What I value most about Adoption Options is the incredible team of colleagues that I have the privilege of working with every day. They are dedicated to providing professional and caring services to every person who walks through our doors.
