“If it wasn't for you, we would never have become family. I will never be able to express my appreciation adequately, but I think you know how much I love you and treasure all that you have added to my life.” 

“Judy is an adoptive parent of four children and is fully in touch with the ups and downs prospective adoptive parent’s experience. We are amazed that within Judy's 13 years of working in the adoption social work field, she has never become desensitized to the level of importance this experience holds for the waiting parents and children.”

“Judy used humor and heart to reassure us, allay our fears, and help us to mesh our ideals of the romance of long-awaited first time parenthood with the reality of growing as a new family. In late 2007, when we welcomed our 19 month old daughter into our arms in Anhui, China, Judy’s wisdom helped us.”

“Having researched and interacted with several adoption agencies,including one that fell apart, we recognized a positive difference when we met Judy. She recommended others including the one we used.   We quickly felt she would be on our side instead of just some nit-picking "white glove inspector.”

“Judy’s friendly lets-get-to-know-each-other-style, open about her own experiences, and appropriately tuned-in to personality and relationship, made it comfortable to relate. She was personal and supportive throughout this otherwise stressful, time table driven nightmare of bureaucratic hurdles.
Our home visits were eased by her subtle (not snoopy feeling) observations and practical advice, and when she gave us small insights into her methods,  it reinforced our appreciation of her true professionalism (as opposed to fussy officiousness).”

"What a special person you are and an even more fascinating, well-lived life. I am so grateful this decision of mine made it so our paths crossed. You are truly a remarkable person I would encourage to write a book about your life story and approach to living. you have it so right! I appreciate your support with the home study as I take another step to bring these children here."

We will always remember what a big part you played in our quest to become parents. There was no greater moment in my life than when my son was put in my arms."

"Thank you so much for all of your help! I just want you to know that you have been such an inspiration to me that I have started college for my Masters in Social Work  I hope to help families the way you have helped yours!"
