Jennifer came to Family Network Adoption Center in 2012 with extensive experience working with children and families in domestic, international, and foster adoptions. Jennifer's passion for working with children and families began in college when she mentored pregnant and parenting teens and led her to pursue a graduate degree in Social Welfare from UCLA. Jennifer started her professional career working with Los Angeles County's Department of Children and Family Services and then began working for non-profit adoption agencies. She feels honored to support expectant and birth parents as they decide whether adoption is best for them or their babies while giving them the autonomy and control to make the best decision for themselves. Jennifer has a passion for providing support, encouragement, and knowledge to new and future adoptive parents. She enjoys helping them navigate the process and providing education to prepare them for both the challenges and amazing rewards of adoptive parenting. As a mother of three, Jennifer loves cooking, reading, running and traveling
