What is your favorite thing about working for DPA?
I have loved working with mothers in unintended pregnancies who have found hope and unconditional love through adoption. In addition, watching a family unite for the first time with their newborn is a gift. I am excited to see how God is going to work and move in lives through embryo adoption. I am thankful for the opportunity to be part of a team that loves Jesus and wants to serve others with integrity and grace. We pray for peace for those who walk through our doors, and seek to love them deeply just where they are.
