ADOPT INTERNATIONAL - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Social Worker, International Program Coordinator / International Staff
I have a BA in Psychology from the University of Sofia, Bulgaria. I discovered my passion for helping orphans find loving families in my junior year when I volunteered at an orphanage in my home city, Burgas. I joined Adopt International's team in March of 2007 as the assistant of the Director of International Adoptions and later worked in the Refugee Foster Care program. I love the opportunity to be able to help families throughout their entire adoption process - from the first call to us, through the home study, immigration approval to the post placement visits.

(A.k.a Lynne Jacobs), opened ADOPT with determination to create an agency and atmosphere of openness and education. Dispelling myths and stepping up with new attitudes about adoption is what lead to the establishing this agency. We now have over 6000 families created by adoption.
It is such a privilege to play a part in a family's adoption journey and so rewarding to be able to find a home and family for an orphaned child. I have a Bachelors in psychology and Masters in social work from Tata Institute of Social Sciences, India and Columbia University, New York. My real education has come from learning with and from the families I have supported during my fifteen years of India adoptions. Over a hundred children have come home and found their way to where they were always meant to be and many more wait their turn. To all my current families that have placed their trust in my expertise, remember that the best things in life are worth waiting for. Something beautiful is on the horizon.
